SEATTLE. Sept.1? Giford Pinchot
conservationist and former chief for
ester of the United States, said lajgt
ni?ht that he would go to Alaska wltl
an open mind read}* to receive the
testimony of Alaskans on the ques
tion of opening the Northern district
to development*, Mr. Plnchot and
Senator Miles Poiwdexter arrived
from Washington, D. C. yesterday
They will leave on the Northwestern
tonight for Cordova.
"Beyond Cordova our trip has not
been planned," said Mr. Piwchot at
the Hotel Washington. "It is my aim
to get the facts in the Alaskan situ
ation and to hear from Mayans
their side of the story. I shall go
to Alaska with an open mind, ready
to bo convinced if there is a better
way than that which I have advocat
ed for opening the district to devel
opment.
"At the next session of congress
' one of the principal topfcs of deibate
' and subjects for legislation will be
| Alaska. The other subject will be
- the tariff. The public interest hi the
| Alaska situation is unusual."
| Asked what part he would take In
' the settlement of the Alaska develop
| nient question. Mr. Pinch ot said:
| "I shall be prepared to take such
I part as I may be called upon to per
I form. From the beginning the men
I who have stood for the idea of con
servation have been in favor of de
I veJoptag Alaska I have advocated
| the patenting of all the valid coal
| claims filed on Alaska land. Theo
' dore RooseveK in special messages to
! congress has urged the immediate de
! vekupment of the resources of that
territory. The difficulty has been
that the group of men trying to grab
Alaska have checked legislation whicli
would have relieved the situation.
"At present I believe that the sys
tem of leasing the coal lands of Al

ITHACA. X. Y. Sept 2? President
? Jacob Gould Schwman of Cornel) uni
versity, who hiu'jwt returned from
an extended trip through Alaska,
believes the govmunent is throttling
the development of the territory and
keeping its vast, resources nearly in
tact by means of land laws which are
not applicable to that region. In a
statement given out on his arrival
here Mr. Schurman declares that the
government is pursuing an ultra-con
servative policy and keeping capital
out.
"The land laws of this country are
applicable to agricultural regions."
he says, "but hi Alaska, agrlouRure
j fe- unknown. Private enterprise is
hindered. In a territory so vast as
Alaska, much capital is required to
stimulate its development.
"I do not believe that the corpor
ations ^oukl be giver full sway.

"But the development of Alaska
can never come until capital is admit
ted and the present land laws abro
gated. In Alaska, individual develop
ment is too large a problem to be
coped with. Much capital must be
used to open mines and build rail
roads."'

aska te the best solution at the prob
lem. I believe that it is necessary
and right that the title to the coal
' lands should be held in the public
bauds.
"The country knows that private
ownership of the coai lands of Alaska
moans monopoly ? and can mean noth
ing else. To lease the public coal
lauds in Alaska means that the gov
ernment wil retain the right to regu
late the development and the sale
of the coal in the public interest.
"Unless he wants a monopoly, a
ifood lease Is bettor for the coal min
er than the right to buy. Under
lease the mlnfcr pays <*ily for the coal
he takes from the ground, and he
pays no faster than he takes it and
under the present laws he is obliged
to invest his capital In the pur chase
of the- lan-1 itself, at the price of $10
or $20 an acre. Thus for an area
o i eight square miles ? not an excess
ive holding for a coal company ? the
Initial vinestment of tne dollars an
acre for the land would be upwards
of $!>0,000. This preliminary invest
ment would be wholly unnecessary ul
der the leasing system.
"Under the government lease the
coal mine operator is not given the
land hi perpetuity, but he must have
it long enough to get the capital he
has Invested out again ? a length of
time we may estimate at thirty or
forty years. He must have coal land
enuogh to maintain a profitable outpi
during the whole term of his contract
with the government, and so may nee<
In certain cases as much as 5,000
acres under his lease. The royalty
on a ton of coal must be set high
enough to insure a profit, commensu
rate With the risk he faces. The
regulations under which he operates
must be simple, practical from the
point of view of the man who does
the work, and wholly free from un
necessary restrictions and red tape."
From Alaska it a Curio, a Souvenir
And an Ornament
The interest shown by the -tourist
in the various souvenirs Is greater In
regard to the Fttssil Ivory than any
other specimen of curios which are
offered for sale by the numerous
stores in the town of Alaska.
Aside from its beauty as an orna
inent, surrounded as It is with the
gold nuggets, natural in shape and
color, the Interest seems to be en
hanced by the fact that the Ivory Is
thousands upon thousands of years
old.
There are three kinds of Ivory found
In Alaska ? Mammoth, Mastodon and
Walrus.
The Mammoth and Mastodon, pre
historic animals, (according to our
scientists) lived a hundred thousand
years ago, and today is found In the
ground by the natives, on tho shores
of the Arctic Ocean, Bering Sea and
the North Pacific Ocean, and occas
ionally by miners in shaft* and drifts.
The fossilized coloring is caused by
minerals contained In the earth, where
It had laid burled for thousands of
years.
H. D. Klrmse has the finest collec
tion of Old Fossil Ivory Jewelry In
the entire district, and It is well
worth one's time to inspect the beau
tiful stock now on display in this pop
ular Jewelry emporium.
