ALDRICH DECLARES
FOR STATEHOOD
Continued from Page 1. Col. 6.
Ohio became a State with a
population of 45,000; Nevada
with a population of 42,000.
The population of Alaska, urn
der the last census (1920) was
55,036. This gives Alaska ap
proximately 10,000 more pop
ulation than Ohio, and 13,000
more population than Nevada,
when Statehood was grantea
to .them.
The following are some of
the facts and figures taken
from the report of the Forest
Service as of January 1, 1926:
Southeastern Alaska Tongass
National Forest Report-Board
feet of lumber, 80,000,000,000.
Chugach National Forest Re
port—Board feet of lumber
(in standing timber) 5,000,
000,000.
Total value of above $100,
000,000.00.
; Every 1,000 feet of lumber
cut means $8.00 in wages.
Cutting 790,000,000 feet an
nually, as permitted under
Forest Rules, would at $8.00
per 1,000 feet, in wages
amount to $6,320,000.00.
In addition to the above For
est resources we have avail
able and undeveloped Hydro- i
electric power estimated at!
500.000 horsepower. This pow-!
er when developed and in use i
will furnish employment to i
80.000 persons in the manu- ;
facture of pulp and paper
alone. In other words the tim- j
ber of Alaska is capable of j
supporting a permanent pop
ulation of 250,000.
Total investment in the Fish- i
eries of Alaska up to and for j
the year 1923:.$60,037,677. |
Total number of people em-;
ployed in the canning industry 1
for the yearl923,. 1:5,250. j

ver . $62,223,726.
Merchandise shipped into
Alaska . $33,199,511.
Balance of trade in our favor
1925 .. $29,024,224.
For the past ten years, the
value of copper mines has ex
ceeded the value of gold mines
by seventy per cent.
The total gross revenue from
the mining industry to 1926
has been $553,000,000.00. The
total gross revenue from the
fisheries industry during the
last ten years only, has been
$400,000,000.00 or a grand
total of $953,000,000.00
The natural revenues of Alas
ka, as quoted above create an
income to the residents and to
the governing body which

BRIEF HENS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERR1TCRY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
It is reported from Juneau
that the New England Fish Co.
one of the largest business con
cerns in the Territory, is pre- j
paring to open a plant there.
The American Legion Post of
Petersburg recently adopted a
resolution declaring that the
charges recently made befftre
the Senate Judiciary commit
tee that Alaska is vice-ridden'
and of low morality are abso
lutely false.
The Cordova Times reports
| that blueberries and high bush
I cranberries are already leafing
out alng the shores of Prince |
| William Sound, according to
II. I. Lutz, a Forest Service at
! tache, who recently visited tht
| Sound.
Capt. Miller, pioneer resident
of Ketchikan, passed away re
centy from heart trouble aftex !
an illness of several months.
Capt Miller is said to have
! gone to Ketchikan from Cana
| da more than 30 years ago.
i Manager J. J. Price, of the
Dan Creek Hydraulic Mining
Co., recently returned from the
! outside, whei'e he purchased
! an outfit and made arrange
; ments for the coming season s
I opei’ations.
: Frederick Zorn, widely known
| old-timer of the Interior ana
! Nome sections, was l’ecently
! admtted ito the Pioneer’s
i Home at Sitka.
I ka does now pay annually for
Territorial officials $50,000,
this arrangement is working
satisfactorily. This amount
would be applied to State gov
ernment in the event of State
hood This sum is distributed as
; follows:
i Treasurer per annum....$ 5,000
I Attorney General .5,000
Supt. of Schools .5,000
Highway Engineer.4,000
Mining Inspector .4,000
Federal Secretary to the
Territory .6,000
j Governor’s Office, Cler
ical and Ten:. Boards.19,000
I Supt. of Pioneer Home....2,000
Total .t. $50,000
Total Annual Revenue now
collected by the Federal Gov
ernment which would be ap
plied to State government:
From seal industry
1925 .$ 491.770.0u
t Alaska fund out
' side incorporat
i ed towns .208,553.00
Grand Total.$700,323.18
. These are annual revenues to
take care of the State of Alas
ka now diverted to the Fed
eral Treasury.
; What Congress needs are
facts and figures. What the
people of Alaska need is the
[ elimination of a dual govern
ment, and the inherited right
to govern by the consent of the
governed.
If elected Delegate to Con
gress from Alaska, my efforts
will be directed toward the
granting of Statehood, and my
services in the future will be
as they have, been in the past,
| ever for this Alaska our adopt
I ed home.
Frank A. T. Aldrich.
Dan Campbell of McCarthy
was recently caught in a storm
, hile crossing the glacier and
! was snowed in for seven days,
i according to the McCarthy
I News.
I Jack McFadden, foreman for
I the Hammon Company at
j Nome, was found lying in the
I snow February 22, with botn
j hands and one foot frozen. The .
j temperature was 25 below
I zero. It is believed he faintea
I and froze while in that con
! dition. McFadden expired the
day after he was injured.
The case of Charles Hoxie of
Juneau, charged with several
others with conspiracy to vio
late the liquor laws, was end
ed during the past week, and
resulted in the conviction of
Hoxie, the chief defendant,
i after a previous trial had end
ed in a mistrial, owing to tht.
jury having been unable to
reach a verdict.
The Alaska Game Commis
sion, in session in Juneau, has
under consideration a change
in the regulations, protecting
brown bears. Communications,
have been received by the com
mission requesting that the
females, especially, be protect
ed during the season when
caring for their young, and
also that a clo.v.d season be
established on both male and
female bears during the sum
mer months when their skins
are unprime.
Aviator Ben Eielson, of Fair
banks, who will pilot one of
the Wilkins polar flight ex
pedition planes, recently lead
j a unique experience with h
I thief while visiting in New
| York. The thief entered Eiel
son’s room while the aviator
was asleep and steole a watch
j presented to him by the citi
zens of Fairbanks. The time
piece bore the inscription.
“Citizens of Fairbanks to Ben
; Eielson, Alaska Air Mail Blaz
er.” The afternoon of the da>
; the watch was stolen it was
, returend by the thief by spec
| ial delivery mail.
The largest school of herring
! seen in any Southeastern Alas
| ka district in years, and also
| the only school so far seen in
this section this year, recently
appeared in the channel at Tee
Harbor, according to fisher
men of that locality.
A large run of king salmon
is also reported by them to be
| following the herring, which is
! also most unusual for this
i time of the year. The herring
are said to be so numerous as
! to be beyond estimate as to
numbers. In places they are
said to form practically a sol
id mass in the water. Tee Har
bor is filled with fishermen’s
boats and enough herring
have already been taken to filt
thousands of barrels. For the
most part these have been
placed in ponds, to await the
time when they will be sold to
the halibut fishermen for bait.
The soft weather prevailing
during the winter is believed
responsible for the appearance
of the vast numbers of herring
and also the early king sal
mon run.
