PHOIS.E 43 JEWELER AND WATCHMAKER
(From circular issued by Governor
Riggs announcing policy of
publicity bureau)
To All Alaska Commercial Organiza
tions:
There is a great deal of commerce
going to the States which might just
as well be kept at home for the benefit
of Alaskans. For instance, in the
Matanuska and Tanana valleys there
Is always an abundance of agricul
tural products which, could easily be
supplied to the other towns. Anchor
age or Seward can supply other coast
towns and the farms of the Yukon
and Tanana can supply the lower Yu
kon. in exchange Nome might be
able *o supply reindeer meat. Iced
fish could be shipped from the fishing
centers to the agricultural and min
ing centers.
Nenana contemplates the manufac
ture of brick, which could be shipped
to even Seward and Cordova, via the
Interior waters and the steamship Vic
toria, when making these stops on the
return journey.
Later on we shall have our own
coal for our own consumption.
A Territorial Exchange
Every town in Alaska has some
thing to sell and every town in Alaska
is in the market for something.
In addition to food products, prac
tically every locality has items of re
tired equipment to sell. It may be
an electric light plant, some mining
or canning machinery, farming imple
ments, store overstock—all of which
would be useful in some other part
of Alaska. The Alaskan engineering
commission is constantly in need of
iron, nails, steel, pipes and fittings of
all kinds, and undoubtedly there is a
large supply of such equipment in
many of the towns for which there is
not an adequate demand. The war
calls on all classes of supplies and
equipment are enormous. It is our
duty to encroach as little au possible
on the stocks of the States. At the
same time there is the possibility
of holping out our neighbor to mutual
benefit.
Some Suggestions
I suggest that each commercial
body get out a bi-weekly or monthly
bulletin, to be sent to every other sim
ilar organization in the Territory stat
ing:
1. Commodities or items for sale,
the condition thereof, price per unit
or per item, shipping weight f. o. b.
cars or steamer.
2. Commodities or items needed.
In case of a deal being consummated
through your organization, it should
insist that specifications as given be
lived up to. This is vital to the suc
cess of any co-operative plan.
Let us take a hypothetical bulletin
in the hypothetical town of Pershing,
located in a mining community, with
nearby farms.

Publicity Methods
As soon as co-operative methods are
establshed, commercial bodies will
form the habit of communicating with
each other when demand appears.
Freight rates generally can be ascer
tained from local agents. I shall be
glad to lend the assistance of this
office at any time in procuring special
rates where the giving of such rates
is permissible.
Suggestions and criticisms are in- "
vited. _
I am at present in touch with the
manager of the Associated Press re
garding publicity bulletins for Alaska
and am assured of their thorough co
operation to assist in bringing Alaska
jnto prominence through the medium
of newspapers and periodicals. 1 re
quest that each commercial body fur
nish me from time to time with bul
letins which can be used in adver
tising its particular section of the
country and its opportunities. For an
example of the constructive work this
office may be able to effect, the mat
ter of mine development is cited. Let
us say that your community is the
center of an undeveloped quartz dis
trict. It is a well-known fact that
piospectors and capital seldom know
where to get together. It may be
possible that this office may be the j
medium through which these two im
portant factors in any scheme of mine!
development may be brought together, j
h your organization can furnish this
oft ice with descriptions of mines or
prospects, a bulletin can be mailed to
all outside commercial organizations,
and development companies interested,
setting forth the facts as presented. “
Your organization should investigate _
as thorougly as possible, so that when
a bulletin leaves this office it may
bear Ui«-impress of a carefully con
sidered proposition. This office will
not guarantee the accuracy of any bul
letin, but will furnish the information
for further commercial investigation.
The information given should be com
plete, showing the general location
of the property with reference to
transportation, character of country,
character and size of vein, dip, dis
tance traced, amount of work done,
assays with dates on which made and
manner of sampling etc. ^
White in Charge
In furtherance of this scheme, I have
appointed Mr. E. J. White (Stroller
White) Chief of the Alaska Bureau of
Publicity, who is to devote his time ■«
to putting every portion of Alaska on —
the commercial map through carefully _
considered advertising and through di- J
rect correspondence. Your co-opera
tion with Mr. White is solicited. Mr. |
Sulzer, the delegate to Congress, will j
work in complete harmony with us at B
the Washington end.
It is our united hope to build up a |
permanent population for Alaska for 1
it is a permanent population to which i
we must look as having the true In- B
terests of the Territory at heart. l
THOMAS RIGGS, Jr., Governor.
