HYPER, ALASKA, Jan. 18 1922
FOREWORD FOR 1922
(Ev Govebnop Scott 0. Bone)
The year 1922 will not only show
an appreciable growth of prosperity
for Alaska, but it will be an epoch
making yi-ar. Alaska will beoome
better known in 1922 and make its
greatest stride toward coming into
its own as an important part of the
great National domain.
The year 1922 will be the most
memorable and historic since the
Seward purchase ''because of two
events of supreme moment—the
completion and operation of the
government railroad from the coast
into the interior and, more signifi-j
cant and epoch-making than all
else, the visit of the President of
the United States. Alaska has
never been honored as it will thus
be honored. These two events will
canter attention upon Alaska as it
his never been centered before.
Alaska’s place upon the map will
be proudly and permanently fixed.
The truth about Alaska will be
made known to all the world.
Apart from the- bright material
aspects and the benefits unques
ti > iabiy to be derived from ttie two
great events here emphasized, Hu
most h : ail sign of«tbe times for
Alask • .s n iuct i hat it has ceased
to be distinctively a man’s country.
Its increase ! school enumeration
is of sui.mii mime.a. At ska is

or, indeed, in the later history of
the territory.
lhe country has . een getting its
bearings. Alaska is no exception
to the universal rule, Times have
been adverse everywhere. Inas
much as Alaska reached no lii^h
level of prosperity during the war,
the reaction has been felt in less
degree here than in the States. Nev
ertheless conditions have not been
conducive to development and pros
perity. Siowly but surely, and
through natural agencies largely,
a restoration of normal conditions
is coming about and the turning
point is now near if it is not already
there.
The governmental Washington
has given abundant evidence that
its interest in Alaska is not spas
modic or intermittent, but abiding
and sincere. Every Department of
the Government wbfese activities
topch .Alaska ^aa displayed a ,ree L
ines.'t to meqtoverv reaponajfin pall
for assistance to Alaska
The Post Office Department might
have continued to send mail tp A
aska by fi^ipht and qtherwise rely
on small gas boat^ to serve its > a
trons. It did not. It adopted a
broader poljcy. It entered info ipajl
contracts that would make for bet
ter service, It geiterougly facili
tated the inauguration of a steamer
service to(the Westward. It is to
day seeking to establish better pos
tal facilities in inside passage wa
ers. All Alaskans must appreciate,
as I feel they do, the spirit of helj -
fylness shown by the Post Office
Department.
Likewise tlje Department,of Jus
tice has s.hyvyp its genuine interest
in Alaska and its helpfulness to
ward solving Alaska’s problems It
has equipped the Courts with bet
ter facilities for performing their
functions. When an additional U.
S. Attorney has been shown to be
needed his employment t.a-s been
authorised. Incidentally, the Gov
ernor’s powers have been defined
and extended to promote the man
ifest ends of justice.
G
The Department of Commerce
has shown its interest in Alaska by
seeking the advice of Alaska and
Aaskans in dealing with important
problems of the fisheries.
The Agricultural Department has
brought its service closer home to
Alaska.
The Interior Department, which
has the closest and most active re
lations With Alaska, is doing its
very best to simplify the system ol
administration in Alaska and to
correct outworn methods in order
that it may be made easier for cap
ital and people alike to secure foot
holds in Alaska and contribute to
its development. Its paramount
aim is to bring about a pi r-ti n
and bus.ness .ike regime and thus
speed the program of the Territory.

Service is the watchword offi
cially. The reorganization of the
government in Alaska has taken
time. Filling the offices has ocea
sinned disappointment mid heart
burnings naturally. If i* invar
iably so. Patronage, so-called, is
not a party asset, but a liability J
can only be turned into an as.,
through the rendering: of .‘m n -u
and capable service. It is just such
service that Alaska is going to re
ceive at the hands of the newly
created officials, both Federal and
territorial.
