that larger appropriations be
made by Congress.
Roads are of prime importance
in the development of any pioneer
country. Automobile roads should
connect Nome with the several
important trade and mining sec

COAST GUARD STATION
The United States Coast Guard
has established an enviable re
cord on the Nome beach over a
period of more than thirty years,
saving many lives and tens of
thousands of do'lars of shipping
and other property.
The Coast Guard should be pro
vided with suitable boathouse,
quarters for crew and modern
equipment; the latter should in
clude an amphibian plane for
patrolling the coast and provid
ing shipping with reports on ice
conditions during spring and fall.

years urged that the Bureau of
Fisheries make a fish survey of
Bering Sea in order to create
new industries in Northwestern
Alaska and provide employment
for Eskimo men and women as
well as for white people.
The Bering Sea abounds in
fish—salmon, ccd, halibut, herr
ing, and other fish—but of esoee
ialy interest are the shrimp and
crab.
A survey of local waters by
the Bureau of Fisheries, togeth
er with some technical instruc
tions as to methods and gear,
would, we believe, create a new
industry and greatly improve the
working conditions of the Eski
mos.

With a short season of open
navigation in northern Bering Sea
a fast mail service is very im

Eight to ten steamer mails are
received each season, and because

MINING
The completion of the mapping
;f this Territory on at least re
connaissance standards with de
tailed surveys of the more pro
in -ing mineral areas is of vital
importance in the initial stager
of any development enterprises
su -h as road building, coloniza
' l or planned utilization of
the Territory’s resources. This
w< rk has been initiated and car
ried on effecitively in the past
by the U. S. Geological Survey
but that work has been curtail
ed lately by lack of funds so
tiiat it by no means meets cur
rent needs.
The Geological Survey’s fur
ther work in the search for min
eral deposits and making the re
sults available to all cannot but
stimulate greatly the opening of
deposits of value and thus aid in
the welfare of the Territory and
its Deonle.
