SEES COLONY Sl’CCESS
(The Seward Gateway)
“Matanuska Or. Its Own"' is the
title of an intelligent article in
the August Country Gentleman.
It is evident that the author,
John Walsh, Jr., made a study of
his subject, visited the colony,
interviewed officials, settlers and
made photographs.
Settling down to an ordered
existence after the tumult and
shouting, is the general tenor of
j the story. Freight rates are anal
yzed and way sought through in
terviews with practical men to
create market for colony pro
ducts.
One suggestion made is the
need of a network of roads that
would tap market centers.
Old settlers, those who came up
on their own before a colony was
ever thought of, are not forgot
ten, for which Alaskans in gen
eral will thank the author. And
it is interesting to read that very
few of them have taken advan
tage of the loans made available
for them.
There is a general note of op
timism shown in the article, Mr.
Walsh in his candid portrayal of
crops and prospects showing
that he has strong faith in the ul
timate outcome of the great ex
periment.

which dominate the scores of less
er but lofty peaks. Glaciers ex
tend down the slopes of Mount
Pavlof. their accumulated win
ter snow intermixing with volcan
ic ash. The mountain slopes are
deeply cut by short, rapid
streams. The adjacent lowlands
are dotted with lakes. Mount
Dana, east of Pavlof Bay, shel
ters a crater lake more than 2,000
feet above sea level.
The Pavlof district is sparsely
populated, but the deep harbors
that indent the Alaska Peninsula
both from the Pacific Ocean side
and from Bering Sea are fre
quented each year by the boats
of fishermen and the yachts of
hunters of big game. Caribou,
bear, and fox are the most abun
dant game animals. Cod and sal
mon are taken by the fishing
boats, and there are several
large salmon canneries. Some
coal has been mined in the east
ern part of the area, and gold has
been recovered in small amounts
from both lodes and placers.
The settlements of Belkofski,
King Cove, and Unga are ports of
call for steamers operating fTom
Seward, and the district can be
reached by plane in a few hours
from towns along the Alaska
Railroad.
