HYDER, ALASKA. Feh. 9, 1921
The Pathfinder says Hyder has a
paper called the News. Such ll
fame.
As a rule the fellow who most
enjoys a joke oo someone else, is
the most peeved when the joke is
on himsetf.
Some folks labor under the delu*
slon that the chief function of a
newspaper is to roast somebody.
These are the ones who never like
to come out In the open themselves.
Attorney General Jerry Murphy
aeems to be trying to prevent peO
ple from coming to Alaska. In an
interview down east he said that
all the liquor in the Territory could
t»« carried in a suitcase.
PAEANS TO ALASKA
In the flood of departmental re
ports whioh are being turned loose
at Washington, the universal sug
gestion of the department heads
whoeO activities touch Alaska is
that the means of developing the
latent territory of the Northland be
outlined.
The secretary of the Interior, the
secretary of commeree, the secre
tary of agriculture—all of them sing
pseans to the vastness of the possi
bilities in Alaska and their chorous
is that eapital is needed for devel
opment The potential vastness of
the territory is indeed well known
People are learning that it is not an
ieo-box and are gaining some con
•Option of its bulk, Of its agricultur
al possibilities as well as its miner
al, forest and fish resources. The
various department chiefs are meet
ing with some success in bringing
these facts to the attention of Am
ericans generally.
But those who know Alaska, who
know its problems and its needs find
tittle comfort in statistics d- a' , g
with its boundless potential wealth.
They realize, too, that capital is
needed for development purposes.
They know that although the terri
tory has an area sufficient to ac
commodate from fifteen to twenty
million peo; K the white population
roday is less than 30,000, just about
the • une as the oity of Bellingham.
And they do not have to be told
thut there is a reason for this la
mentable situation or that the pri
mary reason is that Alaska has been
jn'.i in the shackles of »- bureau
cr. A, 30 long that its dtvelopment
hae come about largely in spite 01

and not because of the activities of
Washington bureaucrats whose pol
icies have been leatrictive rather
than generously encouraging.
What Alaska wants is an oppor
tunity. It Is the Cinderella of the
nation, and the magic wand of con
structive kindness would convert it
jpto a populous wonderland. In a
wo d, it wants not promise, but per
formance.—Valdea Minor.
