HARRY DAVIS FRANK TAYLOR
GOVERNOR RIGGS
IS IN NENANA ON
Governor and Mr». Riggs Revisit
Scene of Past Labors on the
Way to Capital.
The launch Nita arrived yester
day evening from Fairbanks, bring
ing Governor and Mrs. Riggs on a
visit to this city. According to a
telegram received from the Gover
nor earlier in the day, they were
expected to arrive here at 6 p. m.,
but owing to a delay at Fairbanks,
the boat did not get here until
much later. Several citizens, who
had gathered at the boat landing,
to welcome the gubernatoriaj party
had to disperse and take shelter
from the shower of rain which
threatened to become a regular
downpour.
Shortly after they landed, several
Nenanaites met the Governor and
Mrs. Riggs and extended them a
welcome tb Nenana. They expect
to leave for Juneau via St. Michael
on the steamer Yukon, which is ex
pected to sail from Nenana on or
about the 21st, connecting with the
steamer Sarah for St. Michael at
Tanana.
The Governor and Mrs. Riggs
were looking well, and they both
were glad to be in Nenana again
among friends.
Regarding the labor situation in
the States, the Governor said that
labor of all kinds is very shy at the
present time and that about 10 per
cent of the efficiency of this labor
is lost to the industries employing
them owing to the tendency among
the laboring classes to be constantly
moving about from place to place.
This, he thinks, will continue as
long as the war lasts. The great
difficulty experienced in finding
work for the men in Alaska during
the winter months is a problem
that still awaits a satisfactory solu
tion and until such time as a solu
tion is found, will have a tendency
to deplete the population to some
extent, especially during the winter
months. The average Alaskan, how
ever, does not seem to be able to
reconcile himsell to the work in
the shops and factories in the
States, where his horizon is neces
sarily limited and, as a general
rule yearns for his Northern home.
While at Washington, D. C., on
business, he made special efforts
with a view to the establishment of
a source of employment and revenue
for Alaskans during the winter
months, there being no industry in
the country at present that affords
employment during this season.
The Governor took the matter up
with the committee on appropria
tions and tried very hard to get an
appropriation to enable rock work
on the Government railroad in the
Nenana Canyon to be undertaken
during the winter seasons, but failed
in the attempt. Had his request
which was made a year ago, been
allowed, it would have given em
ployment to a large number of men.
Regarding the work on the Gov
ernment railroad, the Governor said
that the President of the United
States was at the back of it and
that it will be continued for the
duration of the war and until com
pleted. The greatest menace to the
railroad comes from the Alaskans
themselves, the Governor said, ow
ing to the fact that one locality
is constantly fighting another, and
the people don’t all pull together
^s they should. In addition to the
antagonistic spirit among the vari
ous Alaskan communities, baseless
charges brought against everything
and everybody by people with mali
cious intent is going to seriously
hamper and hurt construction work.
While visiting in the East, he
found that people who had interests
in Alaska and who would be ma
terially benefitted by the construc
tion of the railroad and who should
have the welfare of the railroad at
heart were trying to discourage
further construction and with evi
dent maliciousness were trying to dis
credit all operations. If people
would only pull together, lie thinks
there would be no difficulties ex
perienced in putting the railroad
through.
The country is suffering from a
great depression, he said, owing
to the loss in men in Alaska’s con
tribution to the war, and the ab
sence of any war emergency con
struction work in the country that
j would give employment to those
| remaining in the country. Alaska,
however, is the only part of the
United States that has gained a
little by the false activity- due to
the war emergency; activities that
are necessary but are not normal
jor productive. Those who can hold
| on and stay in the country while
I the war is in progress are going to
| come out away ahead after peace
| is made and he does not think that
; there is cause for discouragement
except in a temporary way. The
i possibilities for the development of
| the country’s resources are as good
j as ever, but to attain a full realiza
: tion of this prosperity, we will have
to wait until the Hun is licked.
Regarding the proposed bonus to
the gold producers, the Governor
said that it is quite likely that the
bonus will become effective soon.
Delegate Sulzer has worked hard
and managed to interest the secre
' tary of the treasury and representa
tives of all the gold producing states
i in the country in the project with
a view to the adoption of the bonus
| lew as soon as possible.
The secretary of the treasury
! stated that the production of gold
1 is one of the most vital interests of
;the country, and that it absolutely
must be kept up at all hazards.
A committe is now working on
methods and means by which the
gold production can be kept up, and
with Delegate Sulzer’s efforts to
support it, the Governor thinks that
means will be found to encourage
the miner and prosepector. This
will mean renewed activity in In
terior Alaska and for Nenana it
will mean a large demand for coal.
The Governor has had opportunity
to work in great harmony with
Delegate Sulzer and they have suc
ceeded in putting over several
measures for the good of Alaska.
Regarding the efforts that have
been made for the amendment of
the game laws so that Alaskans may
have the use of the game and
Hooverize on the meat supply, the
Governor said that the Sulzer bill
would have given the people the
legal right to the use of the game
white at the same time having a
tendency to discourage the abuse of
it. This measure should have be
come a law, but it met with very
strenuous opposition from Professor
Hornaday, who seems to have want
ed to make Alaska a game preserve
for the benefit of the non-resident
sportsmen.
The Alaska Publicity Bureau, he
said, wants the co-operation of all
commercial organizations and indi- j
viduals interested in Alaska to make
it the success it deserves to be. The
bureau is now putting out weekly
through the Associated Press a bul- :
letin that is reaching a vast num-;
ber of journals and newspapers in!
the States. That is already meeting
with a measure of success is indi-1
cated by the many inquiries re
ceived from individuals in the,
States. The bureau is now placing!
people in need of jobs, giving nec- j
essary information regarding suit- j
able homestead locations to pros-I
pective farmers and bringing the j
mining districts to the attention of
development companies and chamb
ers of commerce in the States.
The Publicity Bureau wants to
be informed regarding the needs
of each community, and through
their bulletin and the press they will
do everything necessary to give
these wants proper recognition. The
great aim of the bureau, and one
for which the Governor is working
heart and soul, is to establish per
manent industries in Alaska, such
industries that will keep the people
employed during the winter months,
and he bids the people to be of
good cheer and not be discouraged,
as an era of prosperity for Alaska
will surely dawn in course of time.
The Governor and Mrs. Riggs both
feel a little homesickness for Ne
nana and^ their interest will be al
