LOW AMOUNT FOR
NOME HARBOR
Today’.’ Associated Press
d; patches, carrying news
f the Senate Committee’s
approval of certain war de
partment appropriations
for Alaska, were received
with criticism, justly due.
Other points in Alaska are
slated for amounts as high
as 180 thousand dol
lars. while Nome is sched
uled for but a paltry ten
thousand dollars for work
on the harbor here.
We see no reason why
such a small amount of
money is being appropriat
ed. when it is unmistakable
that much remains to be
accomplished in the Nome
harbor.
We would suggest that
the local Chamber of Com
merce look into the matter.
The Nome Harbor appro
priation has been cut from
last year and who knows
but what it may receive
another cut in the future.
At one time the North
western Alaska Chamber
of Commerce actively pro
posed the extension of the
jetties of the Nome harbor
and received approval by
the U. S. Engineers of the
propect, but no money has
even been forthcoming on
this proposal. It is believ
ed that the sum required
was to have been in the
neighborhood of $275,000.
More active support for
the development of the
Nome harbor would be in
order, especially with the
plan designed for the exten
sion of the jetties into
breakwaters, in Bering Sea
remaining, for some reason
in a quiescent state.
Nome Registration Low
Registration for the com
ing City Election, as report
ed bv ' City Clerk M. J.
Walsh today showed 147
citizens had signed the reg
istration poll book a very
low number considering
the many who reside in
Nome who are entitled to
vote.
It appears to us that more
interest could be shown in
the coming election for city
councilmen officers and
mayor by the citizens of
Nome.
The poll books will be
closed. March 20 and it is
suggested that Nomeites,
entitled to vote, proceed
to register, and thereby
swell this low number to a
creditable figure, a move
which should receive sup
port from every citizen, in
terested in the progress of
his city.
BALLAINE NOT POSTED
John E. Ballaine’s charg
es that Alaska’s resources
have been throttled by J.
P. Morgan, the Harriman
interests and the Union
Pacific railway are not
borne out by facts. Mr.
Ballaine has been away
from Alaska so long that
he has failed to keep up
with the progress of the
Territory.
Alaska has lots of good
coal but the high cost of
transportation makes it pro
hibitive, especially as no
bunkers for loading ships

exist at Seward, making
handling tolls too high.
Coal can be brought in
cheaper, under the present
conditions from British Col
umbia or Seattle, than it
can be brought over the
railway and shipped to Val
dez.
We in Alaska have al
ways understood that the
tracks to Chickaloon were
torn up because it was
found that coal in commer
cial quantities did not ex
ist, despite the report by
committees who paid more
attention to parties than to
the coal deposits. The veins
were found to be faulted
badly, and test borings re
vealed shallow veins.
All this should have
been determined before the
spur, buildings, and mach
inery were installed, but it
was not.
If the interests mention
ed above have any hold
ings in Alaska, we do not
know of them. Alaska has
been retarded by bureaus
and autocratic policies, as
well as by high transporta
tion charges over the rail
way.
The colonization scheme
depends solely upon the set
tiers themselves. Alaskans
have made a good living in
the valley and its vicinity,
and the colonists can do the
I
I
same,—if they work and
learn to conserve their re
sources.
Back in 1914 Mr. Ballaine
was probably well posted
on Alaska but the parade
has left him. —The Valdez
