ALASKA NEWS
AS RETAILED
IN SEATTLE
SEATTLE, May 13 (Special Corres
ponderance of Daily Times). — Forty
miles of steel will be laid on the
government railroad between Anchor
age and Nenana this season, and plans
are being made to have the road in
operation over its entire length of
nearly 5-00 miles by January, 1922,'
according to Col. H. P. Warren, engi
neer in charge of the supply division
of the Alaskan engineering commis
sion, who arrived from Anchorage on
the steamship Alaska.
Colonel Warren says about 2500
men are employed and laborers are
going to Anchorage on every ship.
The engineering commission has let
the contract for one steel bridge and
is considering tenders for a bridge
over the Susitna river. Seventy-six
miles of road, including two steel
bridges, will be left for completion
next year. During Colonel Warren’s
stay here plans will be drawn for
steel bridges over the Nenana and
Tanana rivers.
ALASKA BERRIES
Standing in the Alaska Bureau of
the Chamber of Commerce, Mr. C. C.
Georgeson pointed with pride to a1
quart jar filled with ten Alaskan
strawberries, and to a sheaf of fine
wheat matured in ninety days and
barley which matured in eighty-eight
days from seed. Mr. Georgeson is at
the head of the experimental work of
the department of agriculture irt
Alaska. When he started his work
and made predictions of Alaska’s agri
cultural possibilities in the early days
he was laughed at and called “The,
Alaskan Farmer.” Mr. Georgeson is
enthusiastic over the agricultural
possibilities of Alaska despite the
nancucap of government neglect. He
says: “Alaska can support five million
people on products of the territory
and have quantities left for shipment.
We can raise everything for human
consumption except tree fruits like
apples, pears and peaches. Wheat of
the finest variety can be grown. At
one of the experimental stations 314
bushels of wheat was threshed from
13.6 acres. Eleven acres of oats
yielded 776 bushels. All kinds of
vegetables and berries as large and
fine as those of any section are grown.
Agriculturally speaking, Alaska has
gone over the top in its
fight to prove to the world that
it can raise grains superior to those
of many sections, and that it is sur
passed by none in the raising of crops
in general. Now our program is $o
populate Alaska. Our agricultural
lands are half again as large as the
state of Washington, and there are
100,000 square miles of fine soil suit
able for grains and crops.” The farm
ers in the Fairbanks region last year
raised over 5000 bushels of grain.
Mr. Georgeson, before his return
fo Alaska, will go to Iowa to pur
chase stock to be sent to Matanuska.
Just as in picking seed for Alaska
fields, Mr. Georgeson is endeavoring
to choose a hardy type of cattle for
the valleys of the territory, and it
has been found that the milking
short horns are most suitable for
Alaska.
