Possibilities Of
Alaska Pointed
Out In Letter
An enthusiastic forecast for the
future of Alaska and summary of
its resources are contained in a let
ter received in Anchorage in a re
cent mail from Captain Ivan L.
Peterson, veteran oil operator en
gaged the last several years in drill
mg and developing oil properties in
the Chickaloon area, near Anchor
age. Captain Peterson is head of
the Peterson Oil Association, with
headquarters at 24 California street,
San Francisco.
In a letter to Lydia May Kellogg
! of Anchorage, long interested in
I promotion of Alaska oil interests, he
writes that he has just recovered
i from a severe cold but is more en
thusiastic over Alaska than ever be
fore. He says in part in his letter:
“I have been seriously thinking
about the situation in the states,
depression and so forth, and the
very many ways that have been de
| vised to alleviate the ten million
unemployed. My study of the prob
lem has led me to the conclusion
that what is being done is not of a
permanent nature. What must be
done is to put people to work in a
field of undeveloped resources and
allow them to gather up the broken
threads of their lives and start in
again on a permanent basis. To
lead up to what I have in mind is
to make a comparison with Alaska
with another place which I am also
thoroughly conversant with and I
will start in with the country of my
birth, Sweden.
“Sweden, as you know, has an
area of 173,000 square miles and a
population of 6,074.000. This coun
try has no unemployment, has had
no wars for over 100 years and
everybody is happy and contented
there.
“Alaska has an area of 590,000
square miles and a population of
only 59,000. Alaska in its entirety
has a far better climate and a soil
wealth that so far overshadows
Sweden's that a comparison appears
ridiculous.
“Let us look at Alaska and its
great mineral resources—it contains
the largest coal, oil and copper re
sources in the world. Other min
erals like gold, silver, lead, asbestos,
limestone, cinnabar, antimony and
nickle can be profitably worked.
“The virgin forests of Alaska cov
or over forty million acres and the
product is ideally adopted for lum
ber, paper pulp and furniture mak
ing.
“The meat industry, so marvel
ously developed by the Lomens’
could be further expanded for the
utilization of the product:; of hides,
hair, meat packing and glue.
As you know there arc no tanneries
in Alaska or other factories to take
care of such a matter
Farming Possibilities
“Agriculture has unlimited possi
bilities and all the hardier grains
and berries and vegetables can be
produced on a large scale.
"I,et us see just what kind of
plants could be created and worked
most profitably. F'isli and coal-re
duction plants, furniture factories,
smelters, woolen and flour mills,
hydro-electric plants, tanneries, oil
refineries, meat packing and the
canning of vegetables and berries.
“With all these huge and real
possibilities, Alaska still is treated
most shamefully and utterly neglec
ted. Building a permanent system
of concrete highways and harbor
developments would keep many
thousands busy for years. ,
“Now, if the federal government
would get busy and spend several
billions for such development, the
returns of this investment, would
be huge as well as the sale of lands
to settlers. We know the great part
the west played in the rehabilita
tion after the Civil war. when con
ditions were most dire.
"The slogan then was "Go west,
young man.” Alaska can solve the
present problem in even a greater
way than the west and a new slo
gan ought to arise. I will venture
to say that under an orderly and
systematic outlay of money for Al
aska the population would grow to
several million instead of the now
meagre thousands "
