It Is not generally known, evou
to many living In Alaska, that there
arc no glaciers In this territory elso
where than along the coast. North
o' Mt. JlcKiulcy and the Tauanu rlv
was brought |irouilueutly to the at
tention of the country by Delegate
Wlckerahaut a few days ago when
ho was speaking for Alaska railroad
mlttcc on territories. Mr Wlcker
sham also tsok advantage of tho op
portunity to tell of the good things
of the North lu tho following lan
the Tauaua valley; the glaciers lu
valley has no greater precipitation
desert but for the fact that every
now flake that falls lu that country
is conserved It is maintained there
lu cold storage, and when the warm
spring sun strikes the ground it
and then as the moisture is needed
"We have 22 hours of sunshine
after we put our seeds in the ground
grow by, and the} ?row by leapt
moist uro Just below tho roots and (
this Incessant sunshine wo raise as
fine crops in the Tanana valley as
raised anywhere ? potatoes, cabbage,
carrots, beets turnips and evory- t
thing of that kind, cauliflower, bar
ley and wheat."
| Among tho tourists coming each
year to Alaska, there aro always a
number of physicians. Naturally
Iheso gentlemen inquiro Into the
health conditions of Skagway, and
tho reults of those enquiries usual
ly fill the doctors with astonishment,
lor upon their arrival here they
learn that Skagway has never had a
case of malaria, excepting when
someone brings it from outside, and
before they aro here twenty-four I
hours It has entirely left them. I
They learn that there has never
been an cpldemlc of measles, whoop
ing cough or other children diseases.
They learn that pneumonia is almost
wholiy unknown excepting In very
rare Instances. They learn that
typhoid fever can't exist hero and
that couumptlon and the various
forms of tuberculosis never gel a
chance to develop In this unpolluted
air. and they wonder why no sanl
' tariums are openod hero for the cur
L of people from the states. Thus .we
> have many reasons for gladness
i that clrcumstaance have landed us
in Skagway.
Cost of Living? Ts High
Because We Are a
Nation of Cities

CHE COST OF LIVING IS HIGH BECAUSE WE HAVE RAPIDLY
BECOME A NATION OF CITIES.
Fifty-five per cent of our population today lives in cities
nn?i towns. Twenty-five per cent of our population lives in
cities of one hundred thousand or more. In 1950 thcro will be thrco
hundred million peoplo in the United States, and if tho present drift
continues seventy-five per cent of them will livo in our cities. Then
we will have a FAMINE AND THEN A REVOLUTION. Tho
high cost of living brought on the French revolution.
OUR LIVING IS HIGH BECAUSE WE ARE POOR FARMERS. TO
REDUCE THE HIGH COST OF LIVINQ OUR FARMERS MUST BE
TAUGHT HOW TO INCREASE THEIR YEARLY YIELD. TO THIS END
I WOULD GIVE NATIONAL AID TO AGRICULTURE AND TEACH
AGRICULTURE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Tho living is high because our immigration of more than one mil
lion a year CROWDS, EIGHTY PER CENT OF IT, INTO
OUR CITIES. These newcomers should be distributed on the soil
and become producers rather than consumers.
I would reduce the high cost of living by ESTABLISHING. A
PUBLIC MARKET IN EVERT CITY IN AMERICA, as
they have dono in Europe. The ELIMINATION OF THE MID
DLEMAN and his profits and expenses by buying direct from tho
factory is the solution of the problem, and the parcel post is helping
in that direction.
