ALASKA AS SEEN FROM
NEW YORK
It seems according to the; Forty-N-jnth Star
that a reader in New York of the above
mentioned newspaper resents the Stars oft
repeated statement that Alaska is frequent
ly misrepresented in newspapers and maga
zines Outside.
The New Yorker declares:
"Alaska fias not been misrepresented.! have
never seen'the territory but I know what
it is like.
"Alaska is a land of show an d ice and mud,
especially the streets. Houses are made
of packing cases and'everyone eaie fish
for lunch and supper, blubber for break
fas^;. Mosquitoes are feo thick you can’t
go outdoors in summer; mud is so deep you
can’t go outdoors in the fall and spring;
snow is so deep you can’t go out in the
winter.
"There is only one railroad and it’s fall
ing apart. There is only one"road con
necting it with God’s country. It is a
strictly one-horse country.
"All the above facts apply to all of Alaska
except that'some parts of Alaska are worse
than others. The' place is’populated large
ly by Indians and Eskimos. Chief mineral
resources are coal, gold and mud,relative
importance in reverse order. Exports—
fiSh, and imports—fancy ladies. Cultural
ly, chiefly known for "The Shooting of
-Dan McGrow,"
There is not muejr you can do'with persons
with opinions like that. Ed.
