SHERMAN ROGERS IS HERE
TO STUDY ILLS OF ALASKA
Realizing that there is something
radically wrong with Alaska as the
result of mismanagement, misunder
standing, misinformation or mistak
en theories, or all of them, the Out
look Magazine, which itself had a
hand in locking up the resources of
the Northland to the extent of ^riv
| ing support to the conservation
■ policy of Gifford Pinchot, has set
| about learning the real facts con-,
I cerning Alaska, and Sherman Rogers
i is here to get the desired informa
tion first hand. After he has made
I a thorough investigation of condi
j tions in the principal sections of.
!the territory, he will give his views
| publicity through the pages of the
Outlook Magazine. And he is making
the investigation with the under-:
standing that his views will be print
ed just as he writes them. The ed
itors of Outlook are anxious to tell
: the truth about Alaska and they
have put it up to Sherman Rogers
to do the telling, in his own force
ful language
Mr. Rogers, whose rise to fame
as writer and orator has been ph'e
nominal arrived from the coast on
Saturday, aboard the business car
of the Alaska Railroad, after a I
leisurely trip from Seattle. He made
frequent stops along the way to,
make a close-up study of conditions
and he has found that the views of
i Alaskans and his own are in accord
on the question of conservation—,
i that there has been too much of it
for the country’s good.
Mr. Rogers does not believe that
it will be possible to throw the ter
ritory wide open, as it was before.
the resources were withdrawn by
executive order and congressional
restriction; but he believes that
conservation, like prohibition, can
be made over into a workable safe
guard, that will continue to con
serve but without preventing devel
opment.
Mr. Rogers says that his observa
tions thus far have convinced him
that the territory is rich in natural
resources, so rich and so vast that
there ;s nothing to fear from an in- j
vasion of capital. But he says the
people of the States, including some!
in high authority, have an exagger
ated notion about Alaska’s riches
and are inclined to discuss the op
portunities rather loosely. Too many
Outsiders have the idea that gold
nuggets can be found clinging to
every grass root.
There is plenty of capital avail
able in the States, Mr. Rosters says,
for the development of Alaska pro
jects. But it will require educational
campaigning to get it and the re
moval or modification of restric
tions. Mr. Rogers suggests that one
way to interest capital in Alaska
is to persuade wealthy Easterners
to visit the territory during the
hunting season. They would enjoy
bagging moose and other big game
and their visits might naturally re
sult in the acquisition of mining and
other interests. Mr. Rogers hopes to
be able to induce some of his East
ern friends to visit the territory
before the end of the present year,
and he is sure they will enjoy the
outing more than they do their an
nual hunts in the Maine and* other
northren woods.
Mr. Rogers is known as the “Lum
berjack orator” He lived in the
West until a very short time ago
and worked in the lumber woods,
where he gathered original ideas
regarding the all-important labor
problem which have since brought
him prominently before the nation
as a writer and lecturer.
The new power boat Bertha, Capt.
George Moody, pulled into port last
Friday on her maiden trip of the
season, with a load of supplies for
the Sutherland outfit in the Kantish
na region. She is bound for Roose
velt. The Bertha is a commodius
stern wheel craft and will engage
in the freight and passenger busi
ness between Fairbanks and the
Kantishna district.
The steamer Teddy H., Captain
Andy Livingston, arrived in port last
night from the Koyukuk and will
take on a load of freight for lower
river points and the Koyukuk.
The transport Jacobs arrived from
Fort Gibbon on Sunday evening
with a ship of freight for the new
army post at Anchorage. Captain
Bergman and his merry crew will
remain in port until the celebration
is over, taking advantage of the
opportunity to “splice the main
brace”, to use a nautical term.
