Nominated hy
.laska, land of promise:
Every mail brings inquiries as
to the changes of getting a foot
hold in our Territory. Some want
farms, want them badly, and show
by the tone of their letters that
they are no whit discouraged by
the adverse reports of returned
colonists. Others want to know if
there is any work to be had.
’’Whatever their reason for writ
ing, it is usually quite easy to
lead between the lines a dissatis
faction with things outside, and
an undertone of willingness to
gamble with a new frontier.
It is this spirit which built
uo our west. For years after the
great gold rush to California word
was carried back across the nlains
that nothing would grow there ex
cept sagebrush and cactus.
Many who wore not miners and had
intended to farm returned without
giving the new country a fair
trial; others, those with vision
and determination, stuck it out
and urovt-d the land fertile.
To many in the states, Alaska
is the land of uromise that Cali
fornia was in the 50s. Eventually
the thin stream of hardy, venture
some Americans who come to seek
homes in a new land will widen in
to a river of immigration and our
great northern territory will
cease to be a frontier. It will be
a land of homes; homes suooortcd
by more abundant natural resources
than any like area in continental
United States.
Though there have been no new
cases of small pox the valley is
still under quarantine. Dr, .11
brecht is wisely taking all ore
cautions against the oossibility
of an eoidemic.
Fortunately, there has been no
’scaref to worry the folks outside
who have relatives and friends uo
here.
I'aybe that’.-,, because we didn’t
all get excited and send a ’plane
winging to some distant town, or
a dog team skimming over frozen
mountains for serum or vaccine.
