ALASKA OIL TO
BE TESTED BY
RN
WASHINGTON, April 30,—Is Alaska
another great oil depository, from
which will be made immense fortunes,
and which will experience a boom, or
is it merely underlaid with a thin
stratum of oil sand that produces a
limited amount of high grade oil? is
a question which Eastern capitalists
this summer will begin the expendi
ture of $2,000,000 to find the the an
swer for. *
Much other money, of course, will
be spent by the various companies,
but one company of Eastern men, who
employ oil experts and have closely
examined government reports of op
erations already attempted in Alaska,
are going partly on the theory that
there may not be gushers, Such as have
been found in other oil fields. They
will make tests in the several locali
ties with a view of development along
the lines furnished from the tests.
P'ELOPMENT
BOARD PLAN
; !$ EXPLAINED
3. L. McPherson, manager of the
Alaska ^Bureau Seattle Chamber of
Commerce, writes that there is some
confusion in Alaska as to the purport
of the development board measure,
introduced by Hon. Charles b. Curry,
chairman of the house committee on
territories. He says:
“This measure is to be the basis
of an exhaustive study by the com
mittees of the house and senate in
order to formulate a constructive
policy for the utilization of the nat
ural resources in Alaska, that will re
sult in building local industries and
an increasing permanent population,
and provide for the efficient admin
istration of such policy by a board
Trident in Alaska.
“It is true that this will provide
for another bureau, but it will eli
minate, as far as Alaska is concern
ed, some eight or ten bureaus and
commissions now directed from Wash
ington, and will center the responsi
bility of these in one bureau that
will be charged with one duty only
—the prosperous growth of Alaska.
“I thoroughly agree with you and
all my other Alaskan friends that
Alaska should have home rule, and
there is no question that we will get
home rule as soon as we can show an
increasing stable population.
“Even when Alaska becomes a state
the interest vested in the proposed de
velopment board, excepting the admin
istration of th fisheries, will not he
transferred to the people of Alaska.
If it was possible at this time or in
the near future to get Congress to
vest the administration of the fish
eries with the people of Alaska, I
would not favor this function being
tested, even temporarily, with the
development board. I don’t believe
that it will be possible to secure the
transfer of the fisheries to the people
of Alaska until there is an increas
ing stable population. With this ex
ception the functions of this board
will always be administered by the
federal government as there have been
in every public land state. Our only
alternative is to secure a means
whereby they may be administered
efficiently in Alaska by men charged
with this one responsibility rather
than by officials and clerks at Wash
ington having little interest in
furthering Alaska’s welfare.
“I fully realize the hard task we
have ahead of us in securing a broad
constructive policy and efficient ad
ministration, because of the disin
clination of the federal bureaus to be
deprived of any of their functions.
“I, however, believe that if we all
work constructively to the one end
of a national policy that will make
for a prosperous Alaska, we will ul
t .r^tely succeed.”
