NEGLECTED ALASKA
“Remote control ’ is what ails Alaska.
Nominally, the territory is governed by its legislature,
whose acts are subject to review by congress.
But the detailed administration of the regulations gov
erning Alaska’s chief industries is in the hands of bureaus
located at Washington and in charge of officials not familiar
with the problems of the territory.
The important industries of Alaska are fisheries, fur
and mining; a potential industry of incalculable value is for
estry.
The conditions governing those industries in the north
country are different from those found in the stales.
Alaska’s fishing problem is not akin to Maine’s or Mas
sachusetts’.
Persons familiar with Alaska conditions assert that the
federal government should establish a branch of its bureau
of fisheries on the Pacific coast with an executive in charge
empowered to deal with Alaskan problems as they arise.
The timber problem of Alaska, too, is different from that
existing in the West. Much of the Alaska timber is found on
the islands off the southeast coast.
These islands are crowned with spruce, valuable in air
plane manufacture, and with hemlock and other conifers, a
potential source of pulp.
Timbering on these islands should be conducted scien
tifically, but the conservation problems are utterly different
than on the mainland of the states, and should be met differ
ently and supervised by officials bound by no rigid inapplic
able regulations,
The neglect of Alaska should end; the federal govern
ment should encourage productive development of the ter
ritory’s resources.—Exchange.
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. W aite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
Motorists in this day and time need keen eyes and steady
hands in order to dodge careless joy-riding cyclists.
Many of them have not the slightest conception of traf
fic sense and evidently do not imagine that they run any risk
from motor cars or trucks.
Scooting around on the road, crossing traffic signs, rid
ing three and four abreast and taking most of the road is a
common occurrence. Often they are in too much of a hurry.

Bridal Outfit
Mystery At
Bristol Bay
Mrs. Frank H. Waskey, writing
from the Waskey home in Pumpkin
Center, the Bristol Bay area, to the
Anchorage Times, reports a mystery
as to the arrival there of a bundle
containing what appears to be a
bride’s trousseau or wedding outPi,
and also gives an interesting report
on the progress of their little daugh
ter, Susie, and Susie's little cousin,
Betty Smith. Susie and Betty were
injured by a log rolling on them at
their home when they were playing
last fall. They were brought to
Anchorage by a plane mounted on
skiis which Pilot Sasseen landed
here on bare ground at Merrill Field
before snow had fallen. Mrs Was
key and Dr. Walkowski also were in
the plane. The little girls were in
the Anchorage hospital for weeks
being treated, and made many good
friends there. After they had left,
say' the hospital staff, they were
greatly missed, and it seemed the
hospital had lost its sunshine. Mrs.
Waskey’s letter to the Times follows
Pumpkin Center, Alaska, March 1:
Nearly three months ago a "Star”
plane came to pick up Mr. Waskey
and brought me p package at the
same time. I supposed it was some
of Betty's and Susie’s things, but on
npening it, found it was packed full
of what appeared to be a bride’s
outfit—lingerie, bed linen, etc. At
the first opportunity I wired the
Star Air Service, but diligent in
quiry on their part lias so far failed
to reveal the owner. There was no
mark of identification whatever on
either the box or the contents ex
cept a few laundry hieroglyphics,
and “Waski” written on the box.
Do you suppose a little news item
or advertisement in your columns
would bring results ?
Naturally after having paid out
$8.00 express charges on the pack
age I am interested in it. And some
of the things I would want positive
identification on. Would be willing
to spend a couple of dollars or so
on an ad to help some poor girl get
back her things, but prefer to make
sure about the ownership.
You will be glad to know that
Betty and Susie are doing well
Betty weighs nearly 40 pounds and I
Susie a trifle more. Except for |
slightly still legs and a left foot
that turns in a trifle, Susie trot^
around as lively as before the acci
dent and Dr. Walkowski is confident
that the stiffness will leave in time
Betty’s folks try faithfully to keep
her off her leg, but she will walk a i
little when on one is watching her
1 wish 1 could thank personally all
the dear people in Anchorage who.
did so much to make life bright for
them. Both girls talk a lot about
“Pat and Jim ” Susie especially
remembers a “Mr. Pillow" whom
Betty says is Mr Sparrow, one of
the patients, I judge. Of course
they speak often of the nurses
Susie told me Miss Wilson took her
down town in a sled one day. Later
she informed us that the “sled had
wheels! She had never seen a baby
buggy, of course.
Sincerely yours,
JOSIE L. WASKEY
