ALASKA’S OPPORTUNITY
In truth, says the Rochester, N. Y.,
Chronicle, in a recent editorial com
mentary on the work being done by
the Alaska Publicity Bureau, it is a
far cry to the days, not so many years
past, however, when it was literally
true that “There is no law of God or
man runs north of 53.” Those were
rough, crude times, and the law of the
gun and the strong right arm pre
vailed. Now things are different.
Alaska is a civilized country and it has
a bureau of publicity. From this we
learn that this region of the supposedly
frozen North is one of the most de
lightful places on earth. It is asserted
that Alaska is dotted with churches
and schools; her children are the most
healthy and vigorous in the world, and
that land may be secured in chunks of
160 acres by a residence of fourteen
months and the payment of $1.25 an
acre. For several years we have re
ceived reports of certain elements of
wealth with which Alaska is favored,
but the real publicity “stunt” is just
getting nicely under way. After all is
said and done, it would appear that the
“folly” of Seward was one of the
wisest actions ever taken by the Unit
ed States. Making allowance for press
hyperbole, there is good reason to be
lieve that Alaska has great possibili
ties and that our last frontier is likely
to become notable in the future.
Evidently the bureau of publicity
has accomplished more than its would
be detractors will admit. It is draw
ing attention to the North. If it is
reasonably successful in this it will
have justified every dollar which it
has expended or will expend.
Alaska is the land of great possibili
ties. How grf>at not even those best
acquainted with her resources dare
say. All the estimates yet made con
cerning hc-r potential greatness arc
conservative. Most of the natural re
sources are stil untouched, and vast
wealth is stored away for future gen
erations to uncover. The work for
the present generation is to prepare
the way for those to folow. The fu
ture of the North depends largely upon
how well we perform our part.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
An English naturalist says an oys
ter is a creature of low sensibility,
with no head development; its nerv
ous system is practically nil; it has
no sensory apparatus to feed the con
sciousness with intelligence, and little
else except a body mass and a stom
ach. Why, go on, hian! What you’re
talking about is an I. W. W.—Seward
Gateway.
As an instance of the immensity’ of
the Third division we cite the case
of United States Deputy Marshal S.
O. Casler, who left here two weeks
ago to bring in some prisoners to the
westward, and who reached his desti
nation Monday. It is no uncommon
thing for a United States deputy mar
shal in this district to leave a fond
wife and young child and go off to
the end of the division after a pris
oner and find the child nearly grown
by the time he returns. This is why
the commissioners at Naknek and Attu
and other points sentence only the
young and robust. Otherwise by the
time the marshal gets to them they
have passed away from old age. Mar
shal Brenneman has a large force of
deputy marshals. It requires them on
account of the vast distances to be
traveled.—Valdez Miner.
"We asked for bread—and they
gave us stone.” Alaska wanted enough
money so that the government rail
road could be completed by 1921. It
was estimated that something like
thirteen millions appropriated this
year would do the work. Congress
gave the rodd two millions. Guess
v/e will haye to plug along without the
railroad for a decade or two.—Douglas
News.
