Alaska is to be congratulated up
on having enjoyed a substantial in
crease in tourist travel during the
last season, particularly in view of
the fact that Americans turned
their steps toward Europe in largely
increased numbers during the sum
mer. The International Bulletin for
October is authority for the state
ment that *‘in four mon'iis 97,000
American tourists have arrived to
see the sights and enjoy vacation
days in France. This figure repre
sents 20 per cent more than in 1920.
300 per cent more than in 1919,
and 700 per cent more than in
1913".
While there is no reason to fear
that the Alaskan Engineerin Com
mission is in immediate danger of
going out of existence by reason of
completion of the Alaska Railroad,
the fact remains that the period of
change from construction to opera
tion is near at hand, with opportun
ity to find excuse at Washington
for demands for radical changes in
the railroad organization. The News
hopes .hat no such movement will
hnd footing at the capital, but
there is always the danger that
an attempt will be made, on one
pretext or another, *o drag the
railroad into politics and the hour
of danger may not be far away.
Although inclined to criticise, at
times, during the period of con
struction. The News has had the
satisfaction of witnessing che de
velopment of an efficient organiza
tion and the successful completion
of an enterprise requiring both en
gineering skill and business acumen.
It would be a serious mistake now
to let politics play ever, a small
par: in the operation of the rail
road.
It has occurred to The News
to suggest that the Alaskan En
gineering Commission be made a
permanent organization, to continue
indefinitely its work of assisting in
the development of Territorial re
sources. There will be spurs and
extensions to build from time to i
time, and suggestions needed for
opening up new sections of country.
The Commission should do all of
that and more. It should function,'
in a broad way, as a Territorial de-:

velopmenr organization, combining
a large part, if not all. of the work
now scattered among a lot of de
partment agencies, weighted down
with overhead and costly duplication
of work. There is a broad field for
such an organization in Alaska and
The News would like to see the
Alaskan Engineering Commission
given the opportunity to do those
things which are necessary to in
sure the successful operation of
the railroad.
There is need of reform in grand
jury action. It too frequently hap
pens that taxpayers and individuals
are put to needless expense to
prove that which should have been
disclosed at the investigation. Us
ually it is a case of “if in doubt,
indict”.
While The News does not share
the views of the editor of the
Fairbanks News-Miner with regard
to the steps that have been taken
by the federal officials to move the
restricted diecrict from its present
location, the failure to make pro
vision for the occupany of another
designated section of the city is
surely open to criticism. Broad
casting of the district, in the man
ner which is being attempted, will
fall far short of satisfactory solu
tion.
R. S. Nickerson. Presbyterian
minister, of Cordova, paid his first
visit to Interior Alaska this week,
and returned to tfee coast on last
night’s train much enlightened re
garding conditions in this section of
Alaska which, he predicts, will some
day take its place among the meat
orodueing countries of the world.
He has had experience in several
frontier countries and believes this
section of Alaska will be develop
ed and settled, just as other new
countries have been in the States.
