WHAT CENSUS REVEALS.
The 1920 census totals for Alas
ka constitute an indictment of this
{treat republic, says the Seattle
Times.
H*r« is a vast domain, immensely
rich in natural resources, capable
of supporting a large population,
that has stood still for a decade.
Its timber remains uncut; its coal
lands untouched; its oil resources
barely tapped, and its agricultural
riches unutilized.
Every foot of this land—timber,
coal, oil and agricultural—is under
the Stars and Stripes.
The American pioneer, having
reached the Pacific and settled up
all the country to the east, can go
nowhere save to Alaska.
He would go there, to duplicate
in the great Northland the conquest
of the wilderness that made this
great republic great, populous and
rich, if he could better his condi
tion.
i
That he is convinced of his in-!
ability to better his condition in*
Alaska is evidenced by his refusal'
to trek northward.
Will Congress make Alaska suffi-'
ciently inviting for men and for.
capital to induce both to go north.
i
as they once went west?
Whenever Congress and the Fed-:
era! Government assume that atti- j
tude and adopt that policy, Alaska
will take its place among the spots
most favored by American enter
prise and American initiative.
And there will be no such de-;
pressing, deplorable conditions of;
under-development as are revealed'
by the 1920 census totals!
LABOR SHORTAGE.
The labor shortage has never been
more acutely felt in this district1
than at the present time, declares i
the McCarthy Weekly News. Cop
per and placer mining and the Fed
eral Road commission work are all
being held back on account of it.
This condition is one of Alaska’s
greatest handicaps and it needs
Government assistance.
We do not say the Government
should adjust the wage scale, but
the cost of supplies must be re
duced. For instance, sugar, which
is a commodity every man must
have in this climate in some form
or other; at the present price no
property owner can ever entertain
any idea of making a higher wage
as an inducement to labor. ‘
Until supplies are more normal
there is little hope of better re
sults for employer or employe.
MAJ. M’FARLAND HERE
FROM ANCHORAGE END
Maj. E. R. McFarland, superin
tendent of the Telegraph & Tele
phone department of the Alaskan
Engineering commission, arrived in
Nenana last night from Anchorage,
having made the trip by way of
Broad Pass in five days, which is
probably the record for summer
crossing. The major left Anchorage
on Saturday night, accompanied by
George M. Woods, in charge of the
T. & T. work across the pass. The
two officials were met out the line
| by Foreman Frank Murphy and
! brought to town on a commission
| speeder, arriving here at eleven
; o’clock last night.
Maj. McFarland is here on offi
cial business, looking toward string
ing more wires between the North
ern and Southern divisions of the
Government railroad.

Charles Bergman, local contractor,
