ALASKA LAND OF
THE GREATEST
Col. John A. Sleicher, editor of
Leslie's Weekly, who recently made a
trip through Southwestern Alaska, is
writing a series of articles under the
caption of “The Truth About Alaska,"
the first of which appeared in Leslie's
on September 2, from which the fol
lowing excerpts were taken:
“Alaska is the most misunderstood
ind misrepresented section of the
United States. People generally, and
sincerely, believe that the name Alas
ka Is synonymous with snow and ice
ind couple it accordingly with Ice
3ream freezers and cold drinks. Yet
he principal cities of Alaska along its
southern coast line—Juneau, Ketchi
<an, Cordova Valdez and Seward—do
tot average as cold as Ilaltlmore and
Washington during cold waves.
Alaska is one-fifth the size of the
ivhole United States and its prodigious
irea of about 600,000 square miles,
learly three times the size of the
Jerman Empire, spreads from the
emperate zone to the Arctic Circle.
Vot one-quarter of it is in the latter.
Jelow the circle lies a magnificent belt
>f fertile soil. It is estimated by gov
•rnment authorities that the agrlcul
ural area of Alaska's fertile valleys
ind plains, on many of which cattle
:an be wintered without feeding, ag-j
tregates 30,000 square miles, with a j
illmate like that of northern Europe:
—Norway, Finland and Sweden. This ’
and is richer and more productive
han that of any other country in the
vorld, well watered, fairly well tim
tered, and 320 acres are open free to
0 the settler if he wishes to take up
1 homestead.
In the great central valley of Alas
ka the coldest days of winter are not

States, like Nebraska, Montana and
North Dakota. Stock raisers and

svery steamer from Seattle to look
the country over. They are equipped
with the special government reports
on Alaska that can be had without j
charge by writing to the Department,
Df Agriculture and to the Department!
Df the Internor at Washington or from j
any member of Congress. Visitors to
Alaska are surprised at what they find |
when they reach the interior. Nor do!
they need to suffer hardship in mak
ing the trip, for first-class steamships
to the principal ports, with usually]
reasonable rates, are runnnlng out \
from Seattle nearly every day and i
railroad and automobile lines to thei
Interior are readily available. Nor is]
It necessary to go far, for every val-J
ley leading from the coast is waiting
for the husbandman.
Thus far the astonishing mineral
»d industrial wealth of Alaska has
been its attraction. Wideawake cap
italists have invested millions in fish
eries, in gold and copper mines and in
•ailroads, in oil weils. They were
ereparing to open Alaska's enormous
leposits of coal and to do develop
nent work on every hand, on the
argest scale, when suddenly a sense
— ——I
lesB outcry, a panicky “scream," that
Alaska was being despoiled, checked
ihe advance of prosperity. Signs
multiply that public opinion is ex
periencing a decided reaction and that
It will Insist on giving men and women
the freest chance to open Alaska, sub
ject only to fair and square regulation
such as everybody will be willing to
accept.”
