SEV ERAL THINGS THAT RETARD
ALASKA’S GROWTH
Dr. Peter Gulbransen, author, world traveller and
lecturer, visited Alaska last summer seeking figures
and facts pertaining to commerce and living conditions
in the far North, as well as the Alaska of romance and
magestic scenery. Dr. Gulbransen is now engaged on
a nation-wide lecture tour taking for his subject, “Al
aska, Our Forty-Ninth State.”
In a recent lecture before the City Club of Berkeley,
California, Dr. Gulbransen said among other things:
“The Alaskan people consume more imported goods
per capita than any other portion of the United States.
The attitude of the American shippers that anything is
.good enough for Alaskans has resulted in the shipment
of fourth grade commodities at excessive prices, to whi
ch are added three monopolistic freight rates. This
makes the cost of living much higher in Alaska than in
the States.
The Alaska people appear to be more interested in
the development of their own communities than in
“Outside” affairs. If authoritative information on Al
aska could be brought to the attention of American
capital, a profitable source of investment would be dis
covered. The Alaskans would welcome an invasion of
population and capital. The experiment at Matanuska
has proven the possibilities to be derived from Alaska’s
soil. The farming surface of Alaska is still unscratched.
The people as a whole outside of Alaska have little
or no information regarding conditions in Alaska. Al
aska has produced in excess of $400,000,000 in gold—
the fishing industry' produces from 30 to 40 million dol
lars a year and the fur production ranges from 2' i; to 5
million dollars each year. Notwithstanding these facts
Alaska is generally considered relatively unimportant.
In size it is larger than any seven middle western
States. It is longer than from the Atlantic coast to the
Pacific coast. Even the natives of Alaska do not know
the extent of the resources to be found in the vast un
explored regions. In scenic beauty Alaska far sur
passes anything to be found in Europe or elsewhere in
North America. Similarity' of climate and contour to
the Scandinavian countries has attracted many Scandi
navians, who have been highly instrumental in building
up the industries of Alaska. They have built commun
ities which it would be well worth the time of every'
American to visit, and profitable to American capital
to invest in.”
Dr. Gulbransen seems to have captured the true
spirit of Alaska. He also has grasped some of the fun
damental reasons for Alaska’s woeful lack of progress.
Let us hope that this celebrated lecturer and world tra
veller s efforts on behalf of Alaska will arouse public
opinion in the States to a proper realization of Alaska’s
true needs and requirements.
How disheartening to inch one’s way to the very
top of the judiciary only to be told that the accumulated
wisdom of 70 years no longer applies.—Detroit News.
Labor and capital approach trouble backwards. They
fight first and then resort to common sense as an after
thought.—Akron Beacon-Journal.

Saturday, May 8
Another victory over the Mar
ried Women ended the Huskiettes'
basketball season. Lack of sub
stitutes offered no handicap to the
High School Girls. Only four
Married Women were present in
the first three-quarters of the
game, and members of the eighth
grade team filled the vacant spot.
When the boys proved ineffective
a member of the N.A.C. regular
squad substituted and succeeded
in slowing down the Huskiette
scoring machine. The final scrre
was 30-14.
A combined Nome-Huskie bas
ketball team defeated the cham
pionship N.A.C. squad in a well
pLayed game Wednesday night.
Individual scores were low, and
field goals were well distributed
among the team members. Final
score—15-20.
Last Saturday evening the
Sophomores’ May Party got un
der way with laughter and merry
-making. Hilarious games such
as a clothes pin pinning contest.
Streets and Alleys, and extreme
ly mystifying scissors game, and
other old favorites, occupied the
early part of the evening. At
about 10:30 the party repaired to
the Assembly room for refresh
ments. Oh's and Ah’s of admira
tion praised the candle-lit table
decorated with tiny May baskets,
and sighs of sheer joy greeted
the advent of large wedges of
apple pie topped with generous
helpings of ice dream. After the
refreshments, dancing in the gym
completed the evening's entertain
ment. A grand party, Sopho
mores !
The Home-Making girls made
doughnuts this week and sold
them to the students. Some pret-^
:y grim remarks about doctor's
bills were overheard, but we
notice that the students usually
come back for more. Later this
week, the girls tried their hands
at cream puffs, with some very
creditable results. A number of
rhe girls who belong to .hr C'unp
Fire Girls are working on their
head headbands during class per
iod.
GRADE NEWS

Incoming mail planes have
brought stacks of letters to the
fifth and sixth graders, and lan
guage classes have been devoted
to making new pen pals. As a
class project, a letter was writ
ten to some Texas children, to
con ,vi their rather mistaken Im
pression* nf Alaska. One of the
letter* iciuented some picture* of
Alaska, *o the art elan* i* work
ing overt into turning out sketches
of typical Nome •cent's*.
An intensive arithmetic review
for both grades is under way.
The Harmonica Band, which
has been inactive for some little
time, is hard at work again, and
lb,, strains of Annie Laurie echo
in the gym.
The thin! and fourth graders
a.e play ng n number of new
games during their gym periods
The (Venn is Stormy, Skitter
Skat ter, Spud, Dodge Ball.
The third graders seemed to
have attained s me little skill at
the newly learned art of division,
for when division tests were giv
en to both grades, the third grad
ers came out on top.
Friday they made Mother’s Day ,
Cards.
The second graders’ poetry
books, made this week, are cer
tainly attractive. Concealed by
artistic and original covers are
poems and pictures about Mr.
Rabbit, The Woodpecker, A Bir
die With a Yellow Bill, Jonathan
Bing, and a Little Yellow Mon
key. The children have learned
the poems and drawn original
illu-trations for them.
The first graders are studying
about dogs, reading about all
kinds and sizes and shapes of
dogs.and making posters of them.
Bringing
more tourists
to Alaska
QUESTION: How does Canned Salmon advertising in the
States help to build up tourist business for Alaska f
ANSWER: Canned Salmon’s Alaskan background is rich in romance.
Canned Salmon advertising and publicity make full use of this fea
ture. Magazines, newspapers and a motion picture carry the roman
tic story of Alaska salmon’s background to millions of U. S. citi
zens. It all helps to bring more tourists here—“to see Alaska.”
