OF OUR NEEDS

to meet new conditions aud these
roles must he made en'orcible by
the Service.
This is reindeer country, and
though reindeer producers have
suffered during the past several
years, as hava the livestock pro
ducers of States, this iiidus
>ry is destined to centri.* ute the
grcates* go -d to this section of
Aurka of any of the prij*i: Alas
ka industries.
Chairman Jensen in between
epeeches brought to the attention
of (Soveraor Troy, the matter of
sufficient money being provided
for the Indigent Fund, due to the
fact of the many old pioneers still
living in this section, and asked
the Governor to give this his at
tention. ,* ■ •.
Mr. A. Polet, secretary ot the
local chamber, was next introduced
as "Nome’s greatest Optomist.”
and his hurriedly prepared speech
herewith is produced in full'
"Pnobably the best way to ap
proach the subject assigned to me
is to direct the attention to the
dawning of a new era in Nome’s
-economic horizon. This is devel
oping very fast and to it we must
attribute our present unempfoy
ment situation. The 50,000 wealth
seekers that braved supposedly on
surmou stable obstacles are being
replaced by our eons and daught
ers and by an enlightened native
race who have been educated at
a cost of millions of dollars by our
government and are now seeking
employment and better living con
ditions.

j "Just for a moment let us pic
ture in our minds this change in
another decade. An entirely new
generation will have absorbed all
the activities, enterprises and In
dustrial power. This change is
coming sp gradually that many of
us do not realize the situation.
Lieut. Noyes who recently visited
Nome examining the progress of
our harbor called our attention to
that very fact so vividly noticeable
to hhm from his, last visit to this
vicinity and he considered this
fact a -strong argument for our
demand for further development of
our harbor.
"Governor Troy, my effort today
in talking to you is not because I
feel that you must he informed of
our present problems as I am sure
that in your wide experience you
have a full knowledge of our needs
and wants but our purpose in
presenting these matters to you
are for the purpose of carrying
our thoughts and inspiration to
some whio are present hut mostly
for the large audience that will
read of the effort made this day.
“Governor Troy you have been
elevated to a position of high !
honor as a recompense for your j
life's woTk, your struggles behind
an editors deck bnought you this j
reward but in fulfilling your duty ]
you have assisted in the develop- j
ment of the First Division of Alas- !
ka.
“Your editorial efforts have been |
linked strongly with the efforts of |
a numfber of Boards of Directors
of Chambers or Commerce who
have spent unselfishly their val- j
uable time and money to create j
thoughts and push on problems to i
successful termination. I would
say here that the power for goodt
and credit is due for Alaska in its !
present state is due largely to
the activities of the press and the'
Chambers of Commerce of the
Territory and as you well know
any citizen is undermining bis own j
business and handicapping bis
future and that of his children.
"You have before you the Bible
of our section. This pamphlet has
been prepared in the same manner
as the bible each article written
by a different person best fitted
with the knowledge. If you would
refer to its maps you will readily
see that the vast territory compris
ing our section is large enough to
contain several European nations
when this is considered our import- i
ance is greater and to quote Baron |
Friendlander’s words in support
of mining—instead of a handful of
citizens we should have a million. ’
“Coming back to my subject, j
Our duty is to devise ways and
means to take care of this fast
growing generation, we should
lay the foundation for the in-j
dustv4arl'*'deve]opment.
“Mining, reindeer fishing and
transportation problems are brot
to your consideration. I consider
that wKh the assurance of per
manent entrance to onr harbor and
the further extension of our dock
age and basin facilities will fur
nish the momentum for a greater
mining and commercial develop
ment. Reduced cost and improved
facilities will stimulate the working
of our very large known mining
area
“In his respect. Governor Troy,
we ask your co-operatilou and am

jistance in urging our goverhment
to carry out our harbor program
but the Territory owning our rail
road should immediately extend
'this road in our harbor to connect
'directly with the transportation
link for the interior of Seward Pen
insula. The extension of the road
in the harbor will reduce operating
costs for the miners. This project
will be mailed to you very soon and |
we hope you will give it your sup
port and immediate attention.
“Reindeer has been presented to
you in many different phases but I
will only call to your attention that
a scientiflca] study should be made
i to utilize the deer and its by-pro
ducts to furnish labor and create
industries that will add materially
to Alaska’s wealth. Just selling
meat and selling reindeer at the
prices that are offered today is far
from the intention for which Rein
deer was implanted in Alaska.
"Fishing, our legislature several,
times memorialized Congress for A
Fish Survey of Bering Sea. We
have spent considerable effort in
that direction without success. But
today we have new conditions and
new discoveries, we believe that
if you will undertake this for us,
using your best offices with Mr.
Bell our new Fish Commissioner
that we will get results.
"The objection raised in several
quarters that there is too , mucn
fish now and it is not opportune
at this time to develop more fish
ing. But now with our new dis
covery and facts becoming known
we feel that a development of our
crab fishery will not take from
any other section but will keep
American home damn
and Russia have for severs, years
come to Bering Sea for their crab
and only a few miles from Nome
statistics on hand show that in
1930 oveT 130,000,000.00 of craib
has been canned and the major
party shipped into the U. S. A
Survey of Bering Sea area will
aibound great benefits to our grow
ing population.
“The other monentoua question
is Transportation which is being
presented to you. Roads and
Aviation have been covered but
the other form of transportation,
navigation has not been mention
ed. Now that our harbor aspir
ations are a/bout to be realized we.
believe that coastal transportation
for our vast coast line should be
organized.
“No groat development can be
made on present lines. We be
lieve that thp government should
foster and aid inter coastal com
munications for the movement of
freight on proper lines and sup
port I believe that privately owned
transportation can be developed to
future.* saving of our people and
the development of the industries
that are now and,will be created.
“Governor we have every con
fidence that you are with us and
will use every effort for us and
with that confidence we rest as
' sured that this new era just dawn
ing will reflect greater and more
'benefit to Alaska.”
Governor Troy responded to the
•defferent sirbjeots as presented by
the speakers and stated that he
was in hearty accord with every
thing that had been said and would
do his utmost to advance the pro
jects as set forth, and thanked
Che Chamber tor the privilege of
being present and thereby gaining
ifirst hand information aa to the
needs of this section of the Terr
itory.
J. J. Connors, Collector of Cus
toms for Alaska, who made the
trip from Juneau with the Gover
nors party, was called on for a
few remarks, and said, that be
was glad to note the great In
terest and spirit of the people of
Nome as well aa at Fairbanks He
spoke principally abont the pio
neers of Alaska, and told of hds
own early experience about Nome
and the Seward peninsula and fin
ished by stating that everything
should be done that is humanly
possible to make the remaining
years of the old timers easy
The chairman then announced
that the meeting was adjourned
and also called attention to the
fact that the King Island natives
would give an entertainment at
their village, to which everyone
was invited.
