HOOVER’S CANDIDACY.
During- the past few weeks, news
nape- readers have been much in
terested in an evident effort on the
part of some leaders in the Demo
cratic party, and especially of the
New York World, a Democratic pa
per, to boom Herbert Hoover, for
mer food administrator, as a can
didate for President. The World,
in large type, declared its willing
ness to support Hoover either as a
Republican, a Democratic or an in
dependent, but the larger part of
the support for Hoover appears to
be from Democratic leaders, points
out an exchange, who are opposed
to attempting to elect President Wil
son to a third term and do not seem
to be satisfied with the candidacies
of A. Mitchell Palmer, William G.
MeAdoo, Governor Cox of Ohio.
James W. Gerard, or others who
have been mentioned.
Mr. Hoover has never taken an
active interest in politics, and while
some close friends say he has gen
erally voted the Republican ticket,
it is recalled that he supported Wil
son in the campaign of 1918.
Born in Iowa and educated at
Iceland Stanford university in Cali
fornia, Mr. Hoover, soon after his
graduation, took a position as min
ing engineer with an Englsh com
pany, and the following years he
spent abroad, visiting mining proper
ties in China, Africa, Australia, Eu
rope and other parts of the world.
He returned to this country to ba
married, and, it is said, has always
maintained a home in California
and offices in New York and San
Francisco, though his headquarters
were in London. He was still en
gaged in promoting the develop
ment of various mining properties
and accumulating a fortune said to
amount to $10,000,000 when he ac
cepted the task of directing relief
in Belgium and later became food
administrator of the United States.
J. C. M’BRJDE.
“I believe in Alaskans holding al!
of the offices in the Territory; in
the opening up and development <>l
all the resources of the Territory
in a manner just and fair to al
concerned; in the absolute contro
of the fisheries of Alaska by th*
people of Alaska; in the establish
ment of the wood pulp and papei
industry; in securing appropriation:
sufficient for more adequate trans
portation and mail facilities through
out the Territory; in providing mori
and better aids to navigation, an<
the building of trails and roads fo
developing new country.
“I am not allied with, nor re
sponsible to, any so-called politics
faction in Alaska, and if electei
Republican national committeemai
1 will recommend for office onl;
bona fide Alaskans and Republi
cans.”
As an indication of a heavy tour
ist travel to Alaska during the com
ing season, a tourist booking asso
ciation of New York recently mad
overtures to one of the largest com
panies operating passenger steamer
on the Puget Sound-Alaska run t
purchase all its passenger accom
jmodaition for the coming tourist
season. The transportation compa
iny, however, says a coast report,
j not desiring to bar local patrons,
declined the offer and will handle
I the summer travel as formerly,
j Even at this early date, thousands
, of reservations for the tourist sea
I son have been made.
OUR RAILROAD.
Some one who knew what he was
talking about, discussing the Gov
j eminent railroad project in Alas
: ka, declared that the big trans
! portation scheme would “either
| make or expose” the Northern ter
i ritpry. We are among those, says
the editor of the Seattle Alaska
! . !
i Dispatch, who believe that the Gov
ernment railroad will “make” Alas
ka—that is, that the development
: of the vast latent resources of the
i Territory will justify the expendi
,ture involved in the transaction.
Just how soon the Government rail
road will begin to pay interest on
' the investment, as well as operating
j expenses and upkeep, will depend
^entirely upon the speed with which
,these latent resources are developed.
;The point we are making is, that
; the resources are there in abund-j
jance; all that is needed is a vigor-I
^ous, intelligent policy of develop-j
jment, so that the products may be ^
‘placed, through the agency of the
; Government railroad, into the chan-j
nels of trade and commerce.
MAKING A START.
| Seventy-five thousand dollars will
he spent on trails and roads within
| the national forests of Alaska this
year, mostly in the Tongass Na
tional forest of Southeastern Alaska,
; under the direction of Superintend
ent C. ff. Flory, according to an
jannouneement made recently on the
, coast. This has been allowed to
! Superintendent Flory through the
1 department, and comprises accumu
lations of the ten percent of the
receipts of the forests that are sup
; posed to be expended on trails and
roads in the forests, for their bene
| been placed at the disposal of Mr.
; Flory.
Most of this money will be used
• for building trails and roads to the
,; tracts where the timber is suitable
,*for making pulp and paper. It is
expected by the bureau of fisheries
that there will be an actual start
,: made on the development of a paper
11 and pulp business in Alaska this
. | year.
j “The forestry bureau and the
.! experts in the employ of the paper
11 manufacturers, who have been en
I ■ deavoring 'to come to terms regard
, ling the sale of timber for pulp and
paper making, have about agreed
on a basis that will result in the
establishment of one or more paper
concerns in Alaska,” said Mr. Flory
in an interview published in Ju
neau. “It is not thought that fur
. ther legislation will be required.
The plan contemplates the sale of
not less than two billion feet of
timber to each applicant on agreed
terms and to give him twenty-five
or thirty years in which to use it.”
Mr. Flory says the forestry bu
reau has a half dozen or more ap
plications for timber and water
power from responsible people who
are engaged in the paper manufac
turing business, and he expects ac
tivities to begin this year
The trail and road building in
the national forests of Alaska this
year will be in charge of R. L.
Cline, who will soon arrive from
the South to begin the work.
While the receipts from the na
tional forests in Alaska last year
were ? 125,000, it is expected that
within a very short time they will
reach a half million or more an
nually.
