MR. riNCHOT GETS BUSY AGAIN.
in another column of thi> issue will he ton ml an open letter
which that ultra conservationist—and conversationalist, too.
for t licit matter — Gifford Pinehot—writes to Secretary
Lane, taking the cabinet official to task for his alleged deser-,
lion of the principles of conservation. This egotistical ass ap
pears to labor under the impression that he is the alpha and
omega of all things in the way of conservation; that it the peo
ple do not follow his ultra-conservation policy, which is the ex
treme theory that holds that all natural resources should be
locked up indefinitely for generations yet unborn, they are op
posed to the principles of conservation. Now, as a matter of
fact, no thinking, fair-minded man is opposed to conservation
of natural resources. But conservation does not mean that the
resources of the country shall not be used by the present gener
ation. It means, rather, that the resources shall not be wasted,
but shall be put to a proper use by those now living, as well as
those who may come after. It means that greedy corporations
shall not get a monopoly on certain necessities of life and com
pel the people to pay exorbitant prices for them.
Alaska has been made to suffer through the activities ot
conservationists of the Pinehot type and they want no more of
him or his eccentric and unworkable policies or theories. We
want the resources of Alaska opened for the use and benefit of
mankind; we want this territory to keep step with the advance
ment of civilization in other parts of the country; we want no
dreamers to foist their vain vagaries on us.
Secretary of the Interior Lane is doing his usmost to open
the resources of Alaska. He is being loyally aided in his efforts
by our delegate in congress. The people of Alaska are with i
these men, heart and soul, for tlie constructive policy that spells
prosperity for us and ours.
We had thought that this fellow Pinehot was so thoroughly
discredited that a quietus had been put on his futile efforts to
delay progress and prosperity. But at election time, fellows of
this sort can be expected to be about, in the hope that they may
gain public notice or a little cheap notoriety.
By accident of birth, Pinehot has not had to get out and
hustle like most mortals, who are obliged to earn their liveli
hood. He was boiu with a sih er spoon in his mouth. W e ven
ture ti nt had ho icon obliged to earr a living by the sweat of
his brow, he would not be solicitous about conserving all nat
ural resources for those generations yet to come. As one
statesman aptly puts it, “We don’t owe a thing to the coming
generations; they’e never done anything for us.”
Conservation wisely administered is a good policy. It is
good for the present generation and it is good for future gen
erations.
But conservation of the Pinehot type would stifle and grad
ually kill all individual effort. In frontier countries like Alas
la, stagnation would reign where prosperity is beginning to
rule. Pinehot would have Alaska be as it was during the Rn>
sian occupation, when a few Russian officials and fur traders
inhabited the coast line and aborigines held dominion over the
vast interior, doing absolutely nothing toward the develop
ment of the potential resources.
SNOW PICTURES ON THE SCREEN.
tn a writeup in the New York Times of July '24 the motion
picture critic lias the following to say concerning one of the mo
tion picture sho\ts:
“At the Rialto theatre, they have commenced in their
tiavelogue pictures a series of little journeys to Alaska, which
are mighty pleasant in these dog days.”
We gather from this criticism that a bunch of snow and ice
pictures are being exhibited, which calls for the comment of the
writer, who is probably sweltering in the intense heat of the
metropolis.
But these snow and ice pictures give a very wrory con
ception of Alaska. We have had too much of thi- sort of thing
—featuring in the ■•movies” and on post cards, Alaska as a
land of snow and ice, with the ever-present dog team and mush
er clad in his garments of fur. Xow, the truth of the matter is.
that the climate of Alaska is about the most healthful, invigor
ating and life-prolonging of any on this old globe. It is cold
in the winter time, but not so disagreeably cold and inclement
as the weather in either Chicago or Xew York city. As for our
summer climate, it is simply incomparable.

GOOD DEMAND FOR BUSINESS SUES

Alaska sourdough, bought a lot at Xenana for a thousand d< '
lars and 13 minutes after he was offered $1,500 for his barge

wired that he will establish a territorial school at the new town

by lack of material.

and were tendered a big reception. They departed for Xenana j
this morning.
