ALASKAN LAND
DEMANDS GROWS,
PARKS REVEALS
I
Increasing demand for Alaskan
homesites indicates a definite
trend toward agricultural pur
suits in the Territory, it was re
I vealed recently by George A.
Parks, formerly governor of Al
i aska. now district cadastral engi
' neer for the territory.
' Mr. Parks passed through Ket
chikan aboard the Princess Louise
on his way to Denver to visit his
parents for the holidays. He
plans to return to Juneau shortly
after the first of the year, accord
ing to a recent issue of the Ket
ichikan Chronicle.
! “For instance, this year all the
homesites close in around Fair
banks had been taken up, so we
surveyed 15,000 acres of agricul
1 tural land in the Gold Stream
valley. Indications are that there
will be a demand for this tract
next season,” the former gover
nor said.
Sees Future in Alaska
Mr. Parks said that the interest
in Alaskan farm land proves for
itself that there is a future in
Alaskan agriculture.
Surveying, he said, goes on as
rapidly as there is demand for
land. ‘‘We try to keep about
even with the demand,” he said.
“That accounts for the survey of
j this large tract around Fairbanks.
'That gives us a surplus for that
| district. However, demand may
! be from any accessible district in
the Territory.
“This summer we surveyed a
number of 160-acre tracts along
the Tanana, the Yukon and the!
Kuskokwim rivers. These were
all requested tracts. We make a j
survey where anyone wants a
homesite.”
The former governor indicated
that he expected a greater de
mand next year, as one settler
attracts another. He spent the
time while the ship was here by
going ashore to greet a number
of former friends.

Lou Ann Markle
Takes First Step
In Many Months
(Bv The Associated Press)
PORTLAND, Jan. •— Lou Ann
Markle, whose parents were kill
ed in an airplane crash near An
chorage some time ago, finally
freed herself of the shack'es of
her hospital bed where she had
lain for the past ten months, and
took her first step yesterday since
early last winter.
She fulfilled the pred ctions of
doctors that she would be able
to use her legs again after she
had been rushed from her home
in Anchorage to a hospital here
to have a dangerous bone infec
tion stopped. r
Doctors say she must use crut
ches for a long time, but that
some day she will be able to
walk again.
She received the news of the
death of her parents in the hos
pital with great fortitude.
The young lady was assisted to
the hospital by Infantile paraly
sis funds raised at Anchorage a
year ago at the Roosevelt Birth
day Ball, given for that purpose.
JOHN GROTH, CORDOVA,
OLD TIME ALASKAN,
DIED AFTER ILLNESS
Cordova—John Groth, a well
known o d timer and prospector
of this district, died at the Cor
dova general hospital recently,
following a general breakdown of
his health.
Mr. Groth was 61 years of age
and was born in West Prussia. He
had been in Cordova since the
founding of- the town and had
been identified with various min
ing and prospecting enterprises,
