safeh r predicted, long reindeer trains 

 from arctic and subarctic Alaska will 

 roll into Seattle and our most western 

 cities like the great cattle trains that now 

 every hour thunder into the yards of 

 Chicago. Before the end of the present 

 century Alaska will be helping to feed 

 the 200,000,000 men and women who 

 will then be living within the present 

 borders of the United States.

RALEIGH ROCK 



THE accompanying photograph of 

 Raleigh Rock was taken by Capt. 

 J. J. Gilbert, commanding the U. S. 

 Coast and Geodetic Survey steamer 

 Pathfinder, while oh a voyage from Japan 

 to Manila. Raleigh Rock is in latitude 

 2 5° 57' 4°" N. and longitude 124° 43' E. 

 These rocks have been long known, but 

 different names have been assigned to 

 them under slightly different geograph- 

 ical positions. If the convenient camera 

 had been in use in early days as it is 

 now, the identity of the rocks would 

 easily have been established by ship- 

 masters. So far as known, this is the 

 first photograph of Raleigh Rock that 

 has ever been published.
