It is to be hoped the people of
Xenana will heed the request of
Delegate Sutherland to urge upon
Alfred Brooks the importance of an
investigation of the Totatlanika
district, with a view to stimulating
interest in the oil possibilities of that
region, where promising indications
already have been found. It is easily
within the realm of possibility that
producing oil wells will be brought
in within a short distance from X'e
nana—in fact, there are those who
believe confidently that the oil era
of Interior Alaska is not far distant.
And in any case, the outlook is
sufficiently encouraging to justify 3
serious effort being made to induce
Alaska’s veteran geologist to visit
the nearby prospective oil set-on
for the purpose of investigating
conditions. An encouraging word
from “Dr" Brooks will go far to
ward speeding development, both by
encouraging those who have made
locations and by attract :ng capital
to the Interior.
It was always thus. First we are
told that the President and the Sec
retary of the Interior surely will
visit Alaska during: the {.resent sum
mer. Next comes the werd that they
will come—if time permit?. And now
the secretary says he “would like
very much to come” but it is a Ions:
way to Alaska and business is very
pressing at Washington, or v ords
to that effect. Later we 'robably will
be informed that it is with “much
regret that we are compelled to
announce our inability to visit \our
great country, etc., etc.” And still
Outsiders wonder why Alaska does
not go ahead.
THE PEOPLE ARE THE REAL
ALA3»CA
“What is Alaska? Is it the mount
ains and valleys, scenery and re
sources, or is it the people who live
there?” Those were questions asked
by Falcon Jcslin at a luncheon given
by the Alaska Bureau of the Seat
tle Chamber of Commerce recently.
Mr. Joslin then said, according to
an editorial appearing in the Alaska
Daily Empire, that in his opinion,
the real, worth-while Alaska is the
people who live in the Territory and
constitute its civi'ization. It is that
which distinguishes the country from
other sections of the world which
have mountains and valleys and
scenery and resources. It is the
people who live in Alaska and con
stitute its civilization, that is slowly
developing the country and unlock
ing the resources so that they are
producing trade and commerce and
wealth for the nation.
Accepting this premise, Mr. Joslin
very naturally concluded that Alaska
should be governed within the Ter
ritory by those who live in it. He
said that the experience of history
had proved beyond all question that
no people can be efficiently or effect
ively governed from a distance, that
the greatest problem in Alaskan de
velopment is that of her govern
ment, and that the welfare of the
Territory, the value of Alaska to
the Nation, depends upon the trans-1
ferrer.ce of government from the
National Congress and Washington
Bureaus to the people of Alaska.
And that is true, asserts the editor
of the Juneau paper. The success
of the incoming administration in
Alaska will depend whether the
Alaskan policies of the new Nation
al administration shall be shaped
and developed in Alaska or whether
they shall come here from the Out
side ready-made. The real Alaska
is the people who live here and con
stitute her civilization. It is not the
promoters and office-seekers, the ex
ploiters. nor is it the governing
bureaus. If the new administration
is to be helpful and successful, the ■
people who actually live in Alaska'
must be served, and those selected ■
for public service should be made to 1
understand that thoroughly.
In spite of the many conferences
and dinners, etc., in Washington,
and those following in Seattle, the
Empire has every confidence that I
Governor Bone will c-ome to the
Territory with this principle definite-i
ly fixed. The Empire believes he will
assume the duties of his office at
Juneau with an open mind, ready
to study Alaska from within and
to consult w:th the people who have
lived here long and thus gained
Alaska experience in contradistinc
tion from Alaska impressions.
