MEREDITH AND ALASKA
Secretary Meredith, of the de
partment of agriculture, devotes
considerable space in his annual re
port to the part which his depart
ment must play in the development
of Alaska. The secretary feels that
the National Foreste will help'more
in the future than they have in the
past in bringing to the territory
a stable and fast increasing popu
lation, one of Alaska's greatest
needs.
“The department of agriculture,
in common with a number of other
departments," says the report, “has
very definite responsibilities in con
nection with Alaskan development
It is endeavoring, for example, to
increase the production of crops and !
livestock; it has experts in the field .
investigating the possibility of build- !
ing up the reindeer herds into an I
important source of meat supply;'
it is giving attention to the per- j
petuation of the fur industry. But
its chief responsibility at the present•
time is in connection with National |
Forest administration, for the for
ests offer the best means with
which to develop Alaska.
"The location of pulp mills in
these forests will aid greatly in
solving the problem of our future
supplies of newsprint. Under regu
lated use, the Tongass National
Forest alone can probably produce
forever 1,500,000 tons of news
print yearly, along with an ample
supply of timber for local purposes '
By far the most valuable timber in
Alaska is that which fringes its
western seaboard, the nor_hward ex-,
tension of the coast forests of Wash
ington and British Columbia. Practi- j
cally all of this coastal area is own
ed by the Government. It is under
National Forest administration, and \
timber from it is already playing:
an important part in the industrial j
development of the territory. Every !
sawmill on the coast from Ketchi
kan to Seward obtains ita supply
from the National Forests. These
; mills furnish nearly all the lumber
used in the region, and Forest ad
ministration is intimately related to
every form of industry and to every
community in the coast area.” j
Secretary Meredith feels that the
Forest service has a peculiar re-!
sponsibility in Alaska, and sent his
chief forester. Colonel W. B. Gree-'
ley, to the territory last summer i
to gain first-hand information. The'
secretary says:
“Because of this relation, a pe- i
culiar responsibility rests on the'
Forest Service in Alaska. To fulfill i
it under a system of long-range ad
ministration would be impossible.
Effective management of these public
resources in Alaska is possible only
by lodging authority in men on the 1
ground to act without waiting to
consult distant superiors, and thru:;
a helpful altitude on the part of, •
the forest officers, who are in touch'
with the isolated settlers and small j (
places scattered through the forests,! ■
to help them maintain contact with j;
the outside world. There is close | j
cooperation between the Forest Str- j;
vice and the territorial government,!(
and the animating purpose of the 11
forest officers is to make the forests !
serve the welfare of Alaska. 1
:
‘ The greatest need of Alaska is
for the investment of capital in 1
enterprises for the development of
resources which can be developed' ^
in no other way. The pulpwood sup
plies of the coast forests offer the
best immediate opening for capital.'
To the task of securing their utili-'
zation on a large scale the energies
of the Forest Service are now being ^
directed, with every promise of ‘
success. Through such enterprises, ^
the population of the territory' will '
be built up, its wealth increased, 1
and other forms of development ^
stimulated.” *

CONDITIONS BAD OUTSIDE;
WORK GETTING SCARCE
Reports coming to Nenana from
various sections of the States, both
over the wires to The News and in
private letters to Nenanaitees, in
dicate that Outside conditions arc
! far from being healthy at the pres
; cnt time. And it seems to be the
general belieef that worse times are
in prospect.
1 Writing to The News from Seat
te, Andy Harkeom, oldtimer of Fair
banks and Nenana, says ‘'the town
is full of idle men, and if they do
not start some kind of shipbuilding
or other work there will a lot of
hardship here. You are asked on
every corner for money to eat on."
He adds that many people are
leaving Seattle and stores are clos
ing up every day, with the result
that rents are lowering rapidly.
Food and other prices, he says are
also coming down. “You can get a
good meal here now” he writes,
“for 30, 35 and 40 cents—a regular
dinner, in fact, at first class places.
Groceries are away down, except
butter and eggs. Apples are selling
at from 75 cents to $1.50 a box and
extra fine ones for $2. Flour is $2.75
a sack and spuds from $1.25 to $2
a sack of 100 pounds; tomatoes,
solid pack, ten cents a can, large
size; ripe tomatoes, ten for five
cents; Carnation cream, two cans
for a quarter; other brands, ten
cents each.
A pood suit of clothes, made to
order, now costs $35, and a pood
hand-me-down from $22 to $27.50.
Dress shoes are sellinp all the way
from $4 to $9.75.
Mrs. Billy Gilcher writes from
Los Anpeles that the stores of that
:ity are puttinp on bip sales in an
effort to unload stocks before the
jottom drops out of the market.
Everybody with a little cash in the
south, she says, is nursing it like
i sick baby, waiting for conditions
;o pet normal.
At the time of writing the Gilch
?rs were looking around for an auto
vich a view to makinp a trip into
he oil fields. They were in no hur
y to invest in a machine, however,
is they expected to take advantage
•f a slump in prices, predicted for
he near future.
Andy Harkeom contemplated a
rip to Santiago after the Holidays.
