ALASKA INTERESTS AT
THE NATIONAL GAPITAI
By W. A. S.
(Special Correspondence)
Washington, D. C.
May 18,1931
The Alaska Railroad has
been furnishing Nenana with
heat, light and water for some
years past, at a loss. The city
was advised some months ago
that the heat and light would
be discontinued on May 15
and the water on June 15. The
city is arranging to have a new
plant installed and to lease
the government pole line and
meters.
Secretary Wilbur, Ernest
Walker Sawyer and other of
ficials of the Interior Depart
ment are particulaily interest
ed in the development of such
coal veins in the Matanuska
field as will supply govern
ment vessels, Southeastern
Alaska and California, with
fuel that will be suitable to
their respective needs. One of
' the important moves toward
; this end is the securing of the
services of F. R. Wadleigh, a
noted coal expert from Penn
sylvania, to spend the ensuing
few months in Alaska. Mr.
Wadleigh will make a com
plete study of the coal fields
along the Alaska Railroad, to
particularly determine the fac
ilities, opportunities, and pos
sibilities of increasing the ex
ports from Alaska.
Senator Robert B. Howell is
particularly interested in the
♦
raising of Yak in Alaska and
is anxious that money be ap
propriated to extend work that
■ was first started ten years ago
at the U. 3. Experiment Sta
tion. The present herd of Yak
is in the vicinity of Healy, on
the Alaska Railroad. It con
sists of four pure bred animals
and eight Yak-Galloway hy
brids. Dr. H. W. Alberts, Di
rector of the Experiment Sta
tions in Alaska, writes that ob
servation in the behavior of
the Yak indicates that they are
hardier than our beef animals.
He also states thata Yak cow
was slaughtered about a year
ago and the meat was so sim
ilar to beef that it was diffi
cult to note any difference.
Leo P. Bott, Jr., of Little
Rock, Ark., has been to Alas
ka several times and is an en
; thusiast on the northland, hav
! ing induced many tourists to
enjoy the incomparable de
lights of this scenic excur
sion. Evidence of his activity
are apparent in Washington
with the result that several
! steamer reservations have al
I ready been made.
Stephen R. Capps, who has
been representing the U. S.
■ Geological Survey in Alaska
j for the past decade, will be in
charge of five parties of ex
pert men who will do the ex
ploration under the recent
special designation and appro
priation by Congress, in the ef
fort to increase the tonnage of
the Alaska Railroad. Most of
the labor in connection with
this work will be secured in
Alaska.
