MAY HELP SOME.
“I shall do everything I can with
in and without Washington to point
out the tragedy of a great empire
left largely, if not wholly, undevel
oped,” promised Rabbi Stephen S.
Wise, of Free Synagogue, New
York, on the occasion of his recent
visit to Alaska on a sightseeing tour.
“Alaska,” he continued, “by rea
son of its unparalleled resources,
has the making of a rich and noble
state. It is the business of the
American people and Government to
remember that Alaska is not an is
land of the distant ’ seas inhabited
by an inferior people, but a part of
the United States ready for devel
opment into one of the valuable and
strong regions of our common na
tion the moment Alaska ceases to be
dealt with as an administrative prob
lem and comes to be regarded as
one of the potentially enriching fac
tors of American life.”
The rabbi is one of the most
noted churchmen in America. He is ;
the founder and rabbi of the Free
Synagogue, of New York, and is a1
national figure by reason of his j
prominence in civic and philan- j
thropic activities, as well as his lit
erary attainments.
PLEASED WITH TRIP.
“Words simply cannot express my j
delight with the magnificent vistas!
which I have viewed since I entered
Alaskan waters,” is the way Secre
tary Daniels expressed himself in a
Juneau interview. “It is far su
perior to anything I had expected,
although I was not entirely unaware
that scenic beauties abound in the
big North. I have always wanted
to see a real gold mine and our
trip to the Juneau mines was a
revelation. It was my first gold
mine, and I will always remember
the things I have seen."
PAYNE AT JUNEAU.
“The purpose of my trip is to get
some first-hand information about
Alaska,” declared Secretary of the
Interior John Barton Payne, in a
short interview given a representa
his brief stop at the territorial capi
tal. “It is not limited to any par
ticular subject,” he responded to a
question asking in what Alaskan
matters he is most interested.
“I am very anxious to know what
Alaskans desire for the development
of Alaska, and anything that is sug
gested in connection with solving
your problems will receive consider
ation from us. The railroad now in
process of construction, coal, and
the mines of Alaska are immediate
subjects for consideration.
“I am greatly pleased at seeing
Juneau and meeting your people. I
inspected the Alaska Juneau mine
with interest this morning and have
paid some attention to the fisheries
of Southeastern Alaska. I am grati
fied with the visit and the wonder
ful things I have seen. I am hope
ful that the personal contact with
the people of Alaska which it af
fords with its influence is to be of
some service to Alaska.”
The people of Wrangell are eager
Ily awaiting the arrival of the army
jairplanes. It has been arranged to
announce the approach of the ma
chines by “blowing the mill whis
tle. ringing the bells of the town,
and otherwise making a noise, to
show that it is time to put out the
cat, grab the baby and lunch bas
ket and hurry to Grant’s float,
where the boats will be in readi
ness” to take the Wrangellites to
Sergief island, where the machines
are to land.
It would be a wonderful thing,
says the Douglas Island News, if a
camp that has been supported for
twenty cr thirty years by gold mines
alone should at this late day be
saved by the humble spruce or
hemlock that was scorned for so
many years. Stranger things than
that have happened. !
Would it be an infringement of
| the postal laws on lotteries, asks
i the-Valdez Miner, for our subscri?
I
:ers to guess whether our mail fa
cilities will be as poor nett winter
as thev were last?
