NORTHERN EFFICIENCY
It has been aptly said that “if you want a man for a
certain task get a man who affects the business and one ac
quainted with the country in which he labors.”
This observation fits perfectly to the situation in Alaska.
There is nothing in which people of Alaska may take
more justifiable pride than in the capabilities and the effic
iency of the men who have come here voluntarily to con
quer her conditions and wrest from nature her riches as they
build the land into an empire—and who call this land Home.
The truth of these premises are set out in many succes
ful enterprise and organization in Alaska. Mining concerns
and others who have successfully coped with northern con
ditions have employed men acquainted with the field and
who know the work to which they are assigned.
Engineers, mine operators, road builders, miners and
others who have worked for years in Alaska can challenge
the world for results in their respective callings. The Alas
kan engaged in road building, farming, mining and other
vocations through the years has gained a world of know
ledge that is invaluable. Newly imported and experienced
men cannot be expected to and do not measure up to the
northerner. The outside world may have a superiority com
plex and look on the northland as a region of crude condi
tions where men are behind the procession and unacquaint
ed with modern methods. The test proves quite the con
trary.
It is along these lines and for such reasons that the Times
and many others opposed the bringing of outside labor into
this region in connection with federal projects. Capable as
some of the newcomers may be, a big portion of them never
will be able to measure up to the standards of the highly
skilled and trained man acquainted with northern condi
tions—and -what is more essential, the principle of placing
low priced men alongside the higher priced northerner—
made so by higher costs of living on a frontier—is highly
ill-advised. Protests against introduction of such condi
tions—especially when this section had many idle—were
voiced from this locality Now if difficulties develop the

people of the Northland—and the resources of the country
arc wholly free from blame.
The Matanuska project is fundamentally sound, and with
Uncle Sam back of it and the administration knowing well
, the great purpose back of the movement—the project will
not be permitted to fail—and fail it will not. But as time
progresses the men of the North will continue to prove their
worth and gradually will win the recognition they deserve.
The men who have come voluntarily to develop the
land deserve the first consideration at all times—and any
dumping or releasing of cheap outside labor in Alaska, to
become possible charges in the future or displace Alaskan
workers, is a matter to merit most immediate condemnation.
Any outsiders brought here—which were wholly unneces
sary in the first place-should be returned when their task
is done, to the region whence they came and every cent of
such costs should be borne by those responsible for their
sending.
Alaskans are grateful for the splendid projects launch
ed in Alaska by the federal government, and for the splendid
i assistance from the high administration to put them over—
and Alaskans will help to that end and do their utmost, and
do it with jealous regard for the good name of the country
and for the good and sincere motives of the great heart at
Washington back of the big movement and will ever be
staunch to insist the enterprise be not driven on the rocks
by injection of incompetent political timber or ineffectual
labor or employes of any station.
Efficiency must be the keynote in selection of the men
to perform the tasks in hand—and those with the matter at
heart need have no fear but what those jealous for the suc
cess of the federal projects in Alaska will insist upon this
principle—and must by sheer force of necessity prevail—
with the strong men of the North holding and winning new
recognition of efficiency in the land they know and to which
they give their lives in the struggle to bring success to them
selves and to the nation of which they are devoted as build
