STATEHOOD WOULD DOUBLE
ALASKA POPULATION
SEATTLE, UP>—Julius Ferney,
editor of the Sitka Sentinel the
past year, said today Alaskan
statehood could mean a doubling
of the population in the southeast
ern section of the Territory with
in ten years.
“If the Territory were made a
State,” he said, “Alaskans feel it
would provide an incentive for
setting up pulp mills. One good
heavy industry such as a pulp
mill in Southeastern Alaska could
set off a boom.”
Alaska needs federal funds for
roads, schools, a public health pro
gram and other public projects
which would come with statehood,
he said.
Ferney will return to Alaska to
edit the Wrangell Sentinel.
