FARMERS FOR ALASKA
“You may say to the people of
Anchorage and Southwestern Alaska
that it is my intention, in connec
tion with the Republicans of Alaska,
to endeavor to secure the coloniza
tion of 500 farmers in the agricul
tural districts adjacent to the rail
road, ar.d we will work diligently
to create tonnage for the road and
leave no stone unturned to bring
back the old-time prosperity to the
1
territory.'
That was the message Republican !
National Committeeman Jo-ha C. \
McBride asked Jack Linkc to de
liver to Anchorage, according to a
recent copy of the Anchorage I
Times, which reached Nenana in the
last mail.
In speaking of the plan, Mr.:
Linke said: “Together with Mr. Me-;
Bride and Representative Herman
Tripp I was discussing tfhe agri-!
cultural possibilities of Anchorage1
and vicinity and the needs of the;
district in general. Mr. McBride
said:
“ ‘Now let's nil get together on
this thing and see what can be done,!
I have just returned from the West1
and ; m sure the time is ripe to put'
over something in the line of colon
ization. My idea is to ask the Gov
ernment, through a memorial from
the territorial legislature, to bring
in 500 farmer families, give them!
tracts of land, and a credit of say '
$10,000 for a period of 20 years, j
Then it will be necessary for the
businessmen of the territory to get j
together and provide markets with
in ourselves for the absorption of,
the products of the farms.
“ ‘To do this it will bo necessary j
to bring the entire force of public !
opinion behind the project, and once ;
this public opinion is expressed I
through 'the* legislature and then j
through Delegate-elect Dan Suther-!
land, wre are bound to get results, j
“ ‘I cannot see how the federal j
Government could turn down the j
suggestion, for before it is through
it will have expended some sixty
odd millions of dollars in the rail
road and coal mining project, and
will need tonnage. Settlement such
as suggested will guarantee the first
tonnage and traffic, ahd the pro
ducts of the farms will supply aj
need in developing other tonnage
such as mining. Representatives
from the Interior tell me they are
not able to supply the demand for
agricultural products because there
are not enough farmers, especially ]
in the Tanana valley.
“ ‘I would suggest that the resi
dents of the Anchorage district, as
well as all along the railroad, hold
mass meetings and draft resolutions
to be forwarded through their rep
resentatives and Mr. Tripp will act
as sponser for the memorial to Con
gress.
“ ‘In time it will be possible to
supply Juneau, Ketchikan and other
coast towns with Matanuska valley
products, and as soon as production
starts the necessary marketing ma
chinery will be created. We must,
stop buying foodstuffs Outside that
can be produced in Alaska.
“ ’Incidentally we must have Mata
nuska coal to replace Canadian
coal in all the cities and canneries
of the territory.”
“Canadian coal in Juneau is sell
ing for $20 per ton and is not any
better than Eska unwashed,” con
tinued Mr. Linke. “I took up the
matter of transportation with the
various steamship lines, with a view
to ascertaining if it will be possible
to ship coal from Anchorage to as
far east and south as Ketchikan,
anil soon will have some data on
the subject. I also discussed the
question with steamship captains
and they all said they would be
overjoyed to secure a cargo of coal
in Anchorage to ballast across the
gulf.
“I would suggest that this matter ]
be taken up with the commercial ,
bodies of the various cities and also ,
the canner companies and if a
market can be developed it will be ]
possible to begin promoting coal ;
production on a commercial basis.
“Parties arriving in Juneau from
the Stailes report many men out of
employment and everybody talking
Alaska, including many possible in
vestors, and indications are that
the steamships will not be able to
handle the rush in the spring.”

OPPOSES CLOSED SUNDAY
TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 13—Gov
; emor Edwords has transmitted a
I message to the state legislature op
: posing any legislation designed to
! bring about a restrictive Sunday in
. the state of New Jersey. The m«s
; sage urges the lawmakers to reject
• any such bill that may be intro- J
J duced. j
, Chris Ennes and associates, who!
i recently completed a grading con- j
j tract, have settled with the com- j
! mission on a basis satisfactory to;
I them.
One Pair Did Not Wear Out/j
IT was a scientific expedition composed of three
white men and five Indians.
They tramped clear across Labrador, rive months of
that heart-breaking going through rough country
that simply means death to footwear.
One man wore Goodrich “Hi-Prcss” and the rest
wore—other makes.
And before the traverse was completed every sol
itary boot and shoe had worn out except Goodrich!
The chief of the party (who wore the Goodrich) sent
the shoes into us as proof. You should see them—
the corrugations on the sole are not all worn off.
There is no doubt of the superior wearing quality
of Goodrich Rubber Boots and Shoes. It has been
proven time and again.
Fishermen, laborers, hunters, miners all agree that
the footwear with the Red Line ’Round the Top
stands supreme for comfort and all around service.
