ALASKA WILL
BE EXPLOITED
WASHINGTON. I>. C.? "In natural j
resources ? by that I mean everything j
? Alaska is the richest territory in
the United States," said Jaiues L.
Farmer, of the Department of the In
terior. who is preparing the Alaskan
exhibit for the A.-Y.-P. exposition,
which opens at Seattle. Wash., June
1, and closes October 16. of the!
present year. Mr. Farmer has ha?l
active experience in the preparation
of government exhibits at the exposi |
tion held during the last sixteen
years. And this experience gives as
surances that the exhibit which will
be made by Alaska will in itself bt
an exposition worth going thousands
of miles to see.
"We will present to the visitors to
the A.-Y.-P. exposition." said Mr
Farmer. "In as comprehensive and at
tractive manner as possible the re
sources and products of Alaska. Our
purpose will be to show the world that
Alaska is no longer a place where
only the Eskimo and Indian can live.
Except in the far northern parts the
climate is not nearly so severe as it
is in the Dakotas. Montana and Min
ensota. The development of the re
sources of Alaska is still in its in
fancy. and the mineral that has been
taken out of the ground in the past
ten years represents but a small part
of the total that will be takeu out in
the next ten years. But aside from
minerals there is almost no limit to
the agricultural possibilities of the ter
ritory. And It should not be forgot
ten that Alaska has good schools and
churches for the white people, and
the white man can live as comforta
bly and contentedly in Alaska as
he can in the states.
W. W. Uoughton. agent for the Geo
rgia. received a wire this morning
stating that she had left Juneau at
s o'clock. She is expected to arrive
here this evening at about 8 o'clock.
