VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS |
The news that the Speel River
Project will put in a pulp1 mill at
( their property at Snettisham is real
, good news. While the management
i only claims that the first mill will be
a modest endeavor, they do say that
they expect it to grow into a great
industry, taking in every phase of the
manufacture not only of pulp but
paper and other things made from
wood pulp. They also say that they
expect many other similar industries
will soon be in the nooks and har
bors of Alaska. We say let them
come.—Douglas News.
“ •'»
With almost every important paper
in the States publishing misrepresen
tative tales regarding the depletion of
Nome’s population and the reduction
in local industries, it appears high
time that something was done to offset
the decidedly unwarranted and highly
injurious impression that is bound to
result from their dissemination. If
the district is to progress it must have
more people and more outside capital.
! hsiit it is a moral certainty mat xiexmex
! settlers nor investors will come here
if they are under the impression tha*
we are so utterly decadent as the
newspaper reports suggest. No one
! but a fool would tjiink of coming to a
j community the population of which
j was steadily declining and whose in
dustries were steadily growing less
productive. We can not expect people
to come here if the impression of de
cadence bred by the stories referred
to is allowed to persist. And the
sooner citizens of Nome wake up to
the fact the better for themselves.—
Nome Nugget.
