an expression of opinion of Alaska
and affairs Alaskan by some-one who
is n ot financially interested in any one
part of the territory. Such opinions
show, to a certain degree, the trend of
affairs, coming from so intellegent a
traveler as Mr. Kaltenborn, tour ma
nager for the Brooklyn Eagle party.
Bis work as associate editor of an east
ern daily paper and his special work
with its current topics class give him
a scope of understanding and an ability
to judge matters, that most tourists
passing thru the territory do not have.
speaking h»st of the governments
policy of conservation, which is gene
rally felt to be the cause of the country’s
* lack of development, we were told that
sentiment for conservation is too strong
thruout the East to permit the exploi'
tation of the resources of the govern
ment’s last storehouse, even tho such
operations might benefit materially the
50,000 inhabitants of the territory. We
are not to look for any radical changes
in methods as a result of the president’s
visit, so Mr. Kaltenborn prophesied.
Regarding the question that is agi

immense beds of -low grade ores adja
cent to the railroad being necessarily
developed as the supply of high grade
ores is exhausted. Domestic coal, too,
will add to the tonnage of the road, as
the American householder becomes
educatedto use soft coal, which Mr.
Kaltenborn stated is the chief house

he believes, will not be a souce of much
revenue to that, or any other road in
Alaska. The shortness of the season
and the uncertainty of the climate are
factors which limit the agricultural pos

The division of Alaska is a natural
outcome, owing to the vast extent of
the territory and the resulting diversity
of interests between ' the southeastern
part and Alaska proper. But that is a
matter over which we of the present
generation need feel no immediate co n
cern as the question of statehood is not
up for (onsideration yet. These are
