“If the tides are lower this fal
than indicated by the tide tables i
will not be due to wrong reckonln
but to the fact that so many flsi
have been taken from the waters o
Southeastern and Western Alaska tha
there is more space to tie filled b
v atpr than formerly, and the resul
will bo a lowering of high-water marl
all along the coast of the portions o
1 the territory designated." said !■; j
White, chief of the Alaska bureau o
publicity, who arrived home from i
visit to the westward which extendei
to Anchorage and the fertile vaile1
of Matanuska, where the rank-grow
ing spud abounds and (ields of wavlnj
grain bow gracefully before the gen
tie zephyrs as they pass from (Col
inlet via Broad pass to the vast in
terior country.
• Mr White left Juneau August 19 ot
the steamer Farragua, which, he says
must have a four-acre space belov
the water line. Judging from the
number of boxes containing erupt]
.... ' u“*v/aucu UL it UOZ0I
or more canneries at which calls wert
made, which space was again fillet
with boxes containing the finished tr
tide of cither reds, humpies, sockeyet
or silvers.
Cordova Is Lively
Cordova, according to Mr WliPe
is (lie liveliest town in the Third di
vision. Iter prosperity being due tt
till- fact that -he lias tile bg Keane
colt topper mines tributary, as tv el
as several fishing industries, ('unlove
is now the scene of more building ac
tivity. probably, than any town in the
entire territory.
Valdez Is All Right
"Valdez is nut dead by any means.'
continued the publicity man • s ,,
also lias several canning Industries
j and l-'orl Liscuui. only across the b; v
j where upward of loo soldiers arc mat
l quartered. lends much which got ■<;
making that town the scene of eon
tillable lit,1. Also. Valdez, ace or 1
iny to her optimistic residents, is 'in
tin* money, or will be as soon as new
impetus is gven the goid-mnjpp tr
riustrv. there being several rich a,
wadi as large deposits of gold ort
within walking distance of the town.'
Seward Desirable Place
According to Mr White, Sew irei
i ■ the most admirable townsite lit
saw on his trip. Also, Seward is the
first station on the government rail
rc a cl reached tiv the west ward-honne]
traveler, the line connecting that town
with Anchorage being now practically
completed. Hut eight miles of tr. el,
remained to lie laid a week ago anti
the rails for closing the gap arrived
at Anchorage on the freighter Anyox,
two days beforo Mr White left An
rhorage.
Latouchc Doing Things
"Hatouehe, where the tiuggenheims
oi»Tuuiig a tow-graae copper
mine," Haiti Mr White. "Ih a lively
place at present About :’5o men are
being employed, and although the ore
runs only 1’ per cent. It is a paying
proposition, and there is still a moun
tain of ore to work on The concen
tration system is worked and about
seven tenths of the bulk is eliminated
thereby."
Speaking of Soldovia, Mr White
says if he owned a town lot there he
would exchange it for anything that
looked or had a jingle like money.
About Anchorage
Anchorage has many empty build
ings, both In the business and resi
dence districts, but this does not slg
nify that the town is dying or is going
to die. in the first place. Anchorage
was a boom town and business was
overdone, just the same as it always
is in boom towns. Just now It is go
ing through the period of readjust
ment, and ‘Hot’ and 'jet' are folding
(heir tents and seeking other pastures.
Many are going now and many others
will go as soon as they can. Hut An
chorage will continue to he a good
town. It has a mighty mining and
agricultural country tributary to il
and is bound to be a substantial place
for an indefinite period. Being sired
by the government, it was started on
a Idg scale, and Is bound to attract 11
attention on account of its being the | <
gateway to a vast domain, rich In rt ■
j sources, but how rich only time and -
capital will determine. The trouble I
with Anchorage is that she had a
few months ago enough business
houses for a city of 26,000 population,
I | and now that fact is being realized
■ and the weeding-out process is under j ,
way Where there were twenty five
restaurants six months ago there are
now only half that number, and the
I j same eliminating process Is going on J
( In many other Industries "
Matanuska Valley
] Mr. White also visited Matanuska,
I : and of that country said: "I'ntll
t there are more people In Alaska and
r In that portion of Alaska contiguous
, i to Matanuska I would not advise peo
ple to go there for the purpose of
.(engaging in farming. Last year the
j members of the Matanuska Farmers'
. Association produced 1,000 tons of po
t! tatoes. of which less than 4110 tons
. were used, the remaining more than |
) 600 tons being thrown in the discard
for the reason that they could not be ]
, marketed. This year the crop will bo f
! about three-fourths that of last year, *
(or about 750 tons In addition to P" i 1
tatoes, Matanuska also grows wheal,
barley and oats to maturity, and IjC
saw while there the first ripe grain J
' in shock 1 have seen for more than \
twenty years. Needless to say, all *
kinds of garden truck grows to per- ( 1
fectlon in the Matanuska valley,
which, if transportation was a math
ematieal problem that could be solved,
would feed all the remainder of the
territory I concluded while visiting
the Matanuska farms that I should
open a matrimonial bureau in comic
tion with my publicity work, as nearly
all the farmers there are bachelors
1 and badly in need of wives to cook,
wash dishes and raise chickens. None g
but ‘comfeds* should apply, as Mata
nuska is no place for city bred women '
i who are subject to 'onwee.' "
At present there is a stampede i<> -
the Outside •rom the westward, as
well as from other parts of Alaska,
but the majority of those going out
venture the assertion that they will
he hack later am! when normal < ondi
tions which have been disorganized -m
a*mount ot tin* war arc resumed. H
