lerritorial Division
The ballot on the division ot South
eastern from the rest of the territory
proved the majority in iavor of with
darwal. Now the bone of contention
js where the boundry line should run.
S erne people affirm that the t opper
liiver valley should come under the
jurisdiction of Southeastern Alaska and
some others, that it should be allied
with the northern portion of the terri
lory. i hus it begins to seem that
the different divisions might make this
sec:ior. into somewhat of a football, in
days to come.
*' rom the standpoint of capitals, or
land offices this section has no right to
express an opinion. If the territory is
divided, An horage, Seward and Fair
will go on the mat and grab o*. every
that is lying around loose: while the
same thing will be done by Juneau in
the Southr So this section can look
lornothing in the way of public offices.
As tar as being close to the capital
is concerned, we are about the same
distance from either point.
Thus she only item that should make
anv diderence to the Copper River
section, is the question of natural bou
no a: es ai d Te fcs. L iie Oj obtain
ing transput tat ion to stimulate product

if we tos. our lot with Southern A ’
laska we will be fore .er cut off by the
ice barries that lie to the south. On
the other hand this section is already
linked to the interior by the Richard
son highway.
Furthermore, practically the entire
Copper Uiuer valley has a climate up- '
proximating that of Fairbanks, rather^
than that of the proposed coastal terri
tory. Consequently, the interests of
the population lie along the lines of
mining and farming rather than those
of lumbering and fishing. Naturally
our interests are to some extent parrel
led in southern Alaska, but not to as
great extent as in the northen districts.
Therefore it would be well to decide
which part of the territory we wish to
cast our lot with when the division ac
tually takes place.
1 here are many lines of publicity
that the country stol e can use to ad
vantage, but the one he can use to the
best advantage is his home town paper
I venture to say that if the money
spent each year lor fancy calenders and
other knick knack giveaways were inves
ted j I say invested, not sp^nt or don.
ated| in carefully planned newspaper
publicity, the actuai net returns would
be ten times as great, to say nothing
ol the advantage the small town paper 1
would derive from the additional and
much-needed revenue.”

Day conference.
