Your statements about speculation arc in
ac curate, and untrue. Ire till protects
the forest resources of the Nation not
oniy during the lifetime of the homesteader
hut it has a provision perpetually lieoping
it on a sustained forest basis.
Just why your organization should play intc
the hands of the denudors is more than I
oar understand, although very prominent
army officers havo told me that there is a
clirvc in Alaska that does rot mailt Alaska
settled. I should think any person living
in. Alaska would want that groat and last
frontier of the United States settled and J
developed by people who will make it their j
ho; e, and not by a Uow York, Boston or
Chicago outfit. *
You are absolutely correct that it belongs •
to all the people of the United States,
arc not to a little clique in Alaska Or
elsewhere. Ye are going to settle it, rind •
there is no reason why there shouldn’t be
at least ten million people ..’.akir.g a live
lihood by living in Alaska. If little
Switzerland, whoso terrain and climatic ' ,
conditions arc similar to that of Alaska,
can have a copulation of three or four
■ Llfion, and if little Iceland car main
tain a population of 130,000, it is about
the that some of those who arc sleeping
at the switch realise that Alaska can main- J
tain.at least a population of ten million.
i
Lot me further as~ure you that I realise, j
end so do those who sponsor this legis
lation, that only those with adventurous
and nioncerihg spirits must go to Alaska.
I can assure you further that there will oti
ro rold rush.

Ac r.m your rnstatement of fact, assuming
that fivery,homestead "il1 consist of 1920
seres, is so erroneous that it turds little
cov.r' aeration. The farts arc that h e De
partient of Interior vill *o the surveying,
and these homesteads will be from 320 up
to 1920 acres in the discretion of the De
partment. ?
