The following article bearing on
transportation matters affecting Alas
ka and Alaskans, was prepared by
J. L. McPherson, manager of the
Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce:
Alaska is more seriously affected
by the abnormal conditions now pre
vailing in the high cost of supplies
and labor than any section of our
land. A new country, in the pioneer
stages of development, it is depend
ent on imported food for supplies, ma
terial and labor, and any condition
tending to increase the cost of these
tends to curtail development.
The need of the world is inetals
and food. Alaska last year produced
a greater value of metals than was
produced in California, and a
greater value in fish products than
was produced in British Columbia,
Washington, Oregon and California
combined. It can be conservatively
stated that the development of these
great resources of Alaska have only
commenced, and if the further pioneer
development of new properties and
plants is not unduly burdened by ex
cessive costs, these industries are
susceptible of great expansion.
Gold mining is more seriously af
fected by this abnormal condition ot
high cost of production than any
other industry. Unable to expand in
value, all increased costs have had
C'UCV,1 UI au luxiKi LiULl llvV UVprtJUlttl
ing the value of gold and seriously
crippling this industry in all stages
of development, both pioneer and
producing. Unable to bear the in
creased cost of production, gold min
ing operators, in the great majority
of instances, have been compelled to
close down, resulting in very severe
and trying conditions for all sections
dependent on this industry. This is
especially true of Seward peninsula
and the great Interior region of
Alaska, which is almost entirely de
pendent on gold mining.
If the transportation companies, op
erating steamers on the Alaska route,
are compelled to increase tariffs, in
order to meet increased costs of oper
ation and pay a fair return on their
investmenet, the tariffs should be so
adjusted as to encourage all pioneer
development and the building of new
industries. Alaska has to import all
she uses and the, present tariffs on
inbound traffic are proving a heavy
strain on living and business condi
tions and a deterrent to new indus
tries. Alaska’s great resources of min
erals and fish arc of such vital need
to the nation that every effort should
be made to stimulate the expansion
of these industries.
An adequate transportation service
must be assured. On it the life and
growth of the entire territory is de
pendent. This is, however, no reason
why we snolud,acquiesce in the en
trance of Canadian steamers in this
service. It is instead the reason why
we should not permit such serivce,
for Alaskan development being depen
dent on transportation it is essential
that the nation have absolute con
trol, that the service may be properly
regulated and such differentials ap
plied as will stimulate the growth and
prosperity of the territory. This
would not be possible were foreign
owned vessels permitted to extend
their activities in this trade. The ex
tent to which these vessels have en
tered the Alaska trade has resulted
in a loss of traffic to the American
lines that had to be met with increased
traiffs, that has resulted disastrously
to the territory. These foreign lines
operated in connection with Canadian
railroads, government subsidized, of
fer facilities and accomodations which
our independent lines are unable to
meet, resulting in a loss of traffic
to the American lines that is being
felt in the curtailment of service and
the increase of tariffs.
a mo la a piuuicui umi viuuiy ill
fects the government in its admini
stration of American railroads, as the
great bulk of Alaska’s traffic is made
up of products of Alaska which find
their market in great part in the
eastern states. The Alaska steamship
lines are direct feeders to the Amer
ican railroads of most important com
modities shipped by freight. Our gov
ernment is, therefore vitally interested
in seeing that this business is fos
tered, so as to secure much needed
metals and food supplies and to fur
nish requisite east bound tonnage for
the railroads. Any action tending to
the diversion of this business through
•Canadian channels will result In a
loss of traffic to both the American
steamship lines and the American rail
roads now under government control,
and to the curtailment of the pioneer
development of new properties and
plants. The interest of the govern
ment, both from a national standpoint
and that of operator of the American
railroads, should dictate a policy that
will result in holding the Alaska busi
ness to the American lines, in foster
ing by every means possible the ra
tional expansion of this business
through favorable rates on all food
products, supplies and materials re
quired by Alaska people and that will
encourage the pioneer development of
new properties and plants, even though
it is necessary to resort to govern
ment aid or operation.
