Barton Hepburn
Boosts Alaska in
Leslie’s Weekly
(Barton Hepburn in Leslie’s Weekly)
Alaska has the same latitude as
Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Fin
land and similar climatic conditions.
The same development may be ex
pected in Alaska that has obtained in
those Scandinavian countries, in
creased and intensified by her en
ormously great latent resources. The
Scandinavian countries have 16,060
square miles unuer cultivation ami
75.000 square miles in grazing. Our
department of agriculture has classi
fied 60,000 square miles in Alaska as
suitable for cultivation, located most
ly in the Susitna, Tanana and Kus
kokwim valleys, with an additional
100.000 suitable for hay and grazing
and another 100,000 square miles of
reindeer range. This estimate makes
available for agricultural purposes
160.000 square miles of the 566,466
square miles which constitute Al
aska’s total area.
The four Scandinavian countries
have 12,000,000 population and 14,
000,000 head of live tsock. Applying
the same ratio to the available lands
of Alaska would giv? her a population
of 30,000,000, with 50,000,000 live
stock. The present population of
Alaska is, last census, 64,356, includ
ing natives. Her growth in popula
tion and commerce is bound to be
steady and pronounced if not phenom
enal. Alaska has 4,000 miles of navig
able rivers. The government has ap
propriated $33,000,000 for railway
contruction, now in active process,
which will connect the commerce of
these great coal fields and mines and
rivers and render accessible the for
ests and agricultural products and will
invite settlement by making ingress
and egress easy of accomplishment.
IN WILDS OF ALASKA
DIDN’T HEAR OF WAR
FAIRBANKS, July 20.—After an
absence of two years in the Lake
Minchumina and Mt. McKinley dis
tricts, Stephen Foster and Walter
Ames are back in Fairbanks once
more. During their long absence
they saw but very few white people;
and, in fact, for the first 14 months
they never laid eyes on anyone but an
Indian, and only a few of them.
One of the interesting facts of their
trip, and showing how far they were
removed from civilization, was the
fact that they did not hear of the war
in Europe until March, 1015, or eight
months after it had started. It was
by the merest accident that they
learned of it. Mr. Foster was visiting
at Tleda, where he met a. couple of
prospectors. Casually one of the
partners remarked something about a
battle. Mr. Foster, at once curious,
asked what battle, and for the first
time learned of the great struggle
and gained what meager information
the trappers had.
W Vl 11 in f loo T.olro Min/ihiiminn
trict they did some trapping and
huntipg.
THREE THOUSANDS TONS OF
RAILS TO COME NORTH
SEATTLE, July 15.—The freighter
Burlington, of the Alaska Steamship
company, is now loading 3,000 tons of
rails which will be taken north to be
used in the construction of interior di
vision of the Alaska railroad. The
rails will be consigned to Nenana. The
Victoria will take 600 tons of general
constructon material for the north for
Nenana. Both steamers will sail from
Seattle on July 25, and the interior
cargoes will be reshipped at St. Mi
chaels. »~

Possibilities of
the Yukon River
Told by the News
(Marine and Railway News.)
In the Yukon river of Alaska the
United States should be the proud
possessor of the longest navigable
river operated by regular steamboat
service in the world. Without fig
uring the navigable length of the
waterway lying within Canada, the
river within the United States is 2,614
miles by the regular transportation
j lines. It is impossible to segregate
the commerce on the river as between
Canadian and United States figures,
from th head of navigation to the
rivers north in Bering sea, but the
value of commerce on the Yukon for
the last twenty years has been $150,
000,000. On looking over the iniquit
ous river and harbor appropriation
bill, the Yukon, standing first in val
ue by commerce and first in navigable
length, is conspicuous by its absence
in the list of rivers to be made over.
No great breakwater or levee sur
: mounted by bronze eagles and sil
ver-coated statues are planned to be
erected at its mouth in Bering sea.
No solid concrete locks with nickle
plated machinery are designed for
any section. No dredging, rip-rap
ping, bridging, piling or concreting
are provided for, notwithstanding the
fact that the Atchfalaya river is go
ing to be surveyed, and few people
know where it is. The Hackensack,
Penobscot, Wicomico, Kennebec, Mer
rimac and Housatonic are all going
to be cleaned, dredged, polished and
navigable length is less than 100
miles, and the value of the commerce
practically nil. The Santee, Wateree,
Congaree, Altamaha, Oconee, Ocmul
gee, are all to the fore with big im
provements planned and the depth of
the deepest water in any of them is
four feet. Petaluma creek and Co
hansey river are still in the running
but the mighty Yukon gets neither
mention nor appropriation but, like
Tennyson’s “Brook,” it flows on for
ever, building up the most valuable
commerce carried on any river of
this great but politically mismanaged
