' Propose Agency
For Development
Of Alaska
SEATTLE, (A>)—An Alaska De
velopment Agency, somewhat like
the proposed Columbia Valley Ad
ministration will be brought be
fore the next Congress.
This was the disclosure yester
day of William E. Warne, assistant
secretary of the interior, who is
en route back to Washington, D.
C., on completion of his fourth
Alaskan inspection tour.
In a speech before the Young
Men’s Democratic Club he out
lined what he called the interior
department’s four-point program
for Alaska development:
1. Statehood.
* 2. A land settlement agency and
law to replace the outmoded
homestead act.
3. A development agency, pat
terned somewhat on the order of
the proposed CVA, to utilize the
hydro-electric resources of Alaska
for industry and manufacturing.
The agency’s board would be
made up of Alaskans. A bill along
these lines will be submitted to
the next Congress.
4. Settlement forthwith of na
tive claims, mainly in Southeast
ern Alaska, which have beclouded
titles and are holding back devel- !
opment.
“Alaska must have its own voice j
instead of absentee management,” j
Warne said, in advocating State
Richard Lee. one of the opera
tors of the Lee Dredging Co., who
have had two dredges working all
summer at Solomon, was in town
yesterday and states that if the
weather holds out his company
hopes to operate well itno Novem
ber with one of their dderges.
hood.
The development of the Terri
tory, with its vast fishery resourc
es and the “greatest forest stand
ing under the American flag to
day,” is vital to the growth of
Seattle and the Northwestern
States, he pointed out.
Of Alaska’s 365 million acres,
only 12,500 have been put under
cultivation, Warne said, because
“homesteaders just can’t make a
go of it alone.” He said a “recla
mation type” development is
necessary to clear land and build
roads before the several million
acres of agricultural land can be
put to profitable use.
“If this kind of program is car
ried out,” he said, “we can put
350,000 people in Alaska in 10
years’ time.
“The most exciting thing that
will happen in the United States
during the next five years will be
the development of Grand Coulee
power and Calumbia Basin lands.
It’s only since we began to use
the Columbia River that industri
al growth came to the Northwest.
“The same thing can—and must,
if even for our own protection—
happen in Alaska."
