FARMING POSSIBILITIES OF
ALASKA.
It is difficult to hear Dr. George
son discuss Alaska agricultural pos
sibilities without imbibing some of
his enthusiasm for the subject, says
the Alaska (Juneau) Daily Empire.
He has spent years in scientific in
vestigation of this proposition, and
when he says the arable areas of
Alaska may be made to produce
foodstuffs for five million people, it
opens vistas for the future of Alas
ka that are astounding to those who i
have limited their conception of the
Territory's practicable assets to its
mining, fishing, fur. and wood pulp
possibilities.
The experience of the practical!
farmers of the Tanana valley and
other sections of Alaska corroborate
the testimony of Dr. Georgeson that
Alaska is susceptible of great agri- i
cultural development. Many Fair-;
banks people have found farming,
profitable, and with a growing popu- 1
lation in the Territory there will
be great expansion along agricul
tural lines. The growth of farming
as an industry in Alaska will be,
limited, of course, to producing for
local markets until the transporta
tion problems are solved. But that
will come.
What Alaska needs most of all is
population. And that, too. will
come. The people who come North
to develop the coal and oil and
mineral resources of Alaska will
make additional markets for farm
produce. One class of people will
bring another. When the move
ment toward the North gets fully
under way, Alaska’s real settlement
will begin in earnest, and when she
gets the necessary population to
create large traffic, transportation
rates will be adjusted in such a
manner that it will be possible to
market at a profit the surplus agri
cultural products of the Territory.
It is r.ot impossible that the time
will come a very’ few decades hence
when cultivation of the soil will be
the leading industry in Alaska.
DRAYTON AGAIN.
“All workmen on the Government
railroad and employed in the coa
mines are out on strike, and thos<
working for the Alaskan Engineer
ir.g commission are compelled t
kowtow and salute every man ii
authority from section boss to Col
Mears himself, the Government rail
road project is a failure throng?
the fact that the personnel of th<
commission is made up of men in
capable of performing any fune
tion,” according to a special stor;
appearing in the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger, signed by Thomas B
Drayton, and appearing under :
Seward date line.
From the tenor of the story, say
the Anchorage Times, it would ap
pear that someone connected wit
the Alaskan Engineering commissio
has made Mr. Drayton peevish an
he is taking this method to vent hi
spleen.
Alaska needs publicity, but ur
fortunately there are too many ser
sation-mongers flooding the countr
with totally erroneous propagand:
tory as a \v};ole and its citizenry
individually.
There is some excuse for a ten- j
derfoot sending: the folks back home !
a photograph of himself sanging j
suspended in a crevasse or using a ’
six-cylinder Malamute runabout to!
escape paying fare on a jitney: but
when men resident in the Territory
send broadcast such misleading in- ;
formation as that contained in the
i
Public Ledger, it calls forth con
, !
demnation.

FOR N.C. COMPANY
Among those arriving in Xenana I
yesterday on the steamer Washburn I
was James Cody, for seven years,
past agent of the Northern Com- !
mercial company at Ruby, who is I
here to take charge of the local j
store. Mr. Cody was accompanied j
up river by Mrs. Cody and the Cody j
children.
Mr. Cody needs no introduction i
to the people of Xenana, nearly all .
of whom have known him either in i
the lower river country or in the ,
Fairbanks district, where he was ,
i
located for a number of years be- ;
fore going to Ruby. Mrs. Cody'
also is well known locally. She is !
a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John
O’Connor of Fairbanks.
Mr. Cody says that* the Ruby dis
trict. like all Interior mining com- :
munities, is somewhat quiet this
summer, but the camp is far from
being dead. There is considerable
business activity in Ruby and a
general revival of mining is expect
ed as soon as conditions become
more favorable.
Ernie Parsons, bookkeeper at the
Ruby store during the past several
years, has succeeded Mr. Cody as
agent at that place.
