JUST CONSIDERATION
From the earliest settlement of our country the
government has encouraged the forward movement
and the opening of new territory, and it has always
had within its borders the blood and brawn of the
pioneers; and as they, single-handed and alone, and
in small groups, have blazed the way and advanced in
to the unknown, their faces ever westward, combating
not only wild nature but often wilder men, the strong
arm of the Government has followed the pioneer and
made it possible to still follow with more civilized
modes of life, even going to the extent of donating
hundreds of millions of value in lands in aid of trans
portation.
The Government has given untold millions of
money to the aid of the Philippine Islands, and has
given Cuba millions in money and lives of brave men.
We would respectfully ask, are the Cubans, Phil
ippines, or the Porto Ricans more valuable to this
great country of ours than the hardy, brave, intelli
gem pioneers oi AiasKa, every one 01 wnom, uum
to 70 years of age, have demonstrated by deeds, not
words, their willingness to fight for their country!
Are we, citizens of this great Alaska empire, not
entitled to due consideration and help from our coun
try?
Men .are here from every state and representing
every phase and condition of life, from the old grizz
led advance agent of civilization, who faced storm and
flood alone, sought out the secrets of nature, and then
returned to civilization to spread the glad news that
the energetic and progressive businessman and cap
italist- might follow over the paths he has made smooth
and develop and reap with him the wealth he has
found. . . , . i
We believe that the time has come for just consid
eration of our great needs by those in authority anc
power, with the right to have assistance in the devel
opment of our great Territory of Alaska._

ALASKA PUZZLE
(Continued from Page Three)
You will be shown a few little
farms near towns, and the lux
uriant products from them- You
I will be told that the Alaska Rail
jroad, and the towns, buy potatoes
| and other crops. Some of the farm
ers will tell you everything is rosy.
;But, you will NOT’ be told that
iSome of the most attractive of the
' little places shown belong to mer
| chants, or towns people, who cul
tivate them without the thought of
profit. YOU WILL NOT BE SHOWN
the large number of ABANDONED
AREAS that have been cultivated
at one time in an effort to make a
living. Within a radius of four
miles of this town, (similar condi- >
tions at other towns) there are four
abandoned farms that at one time 1
I were cultivated by bone-fide farm
ers trying to make a living. After ;
struggling a number of years they
I gjj|vei it up. For many summers j
now, not a bit of cultivation has j
been done; their homesteads were j
taken over by town people for the j
wood on them, etc. The merchants
of the different towns do not sin
glely, or collectively, make any ef- j
fort, or sacrifice, to absorbe all of ;
the local productions—one year
(they buy a little, another year they
don’t; the farmer is never sure of
selling.
The present management of the |
road had a professor lecture in
different parts of the states, trying I
to induce farmers to come to this j
country. I believe it safe to say
that at no time did he say that the
market for farm production was
very uncertain. Obtaining immi
gration by misrepresentation, j
(which it assuredly is), is an injus- j
tice to those who are induced to
come. So far as I am able to learn I
NOT ON El of the families coming
up here under the influence of ;
such propaganda is to be found to- j
day on a successful farm, and this,:
after 20 years of effort. WHAT IS ,
THE REMEDY? By far the great- !
est benefit to this country, assur- !
ing land settlement, and a rapid ;
growth in permanent inhabitants. |
is to be obtained by PROVIDING
AN ASSURED MARKET FOR ONE
OR MORE, STABLE FARM PRO
DUCTS! THAT IS THE KEY THAT
WILL UNLOCK ALASKA'S
WEALTH. Ail efforts should be
expended in finding the way. I
Make a careful survey of the tri
butary country around Anchorage
and Fairbanks for two purposes;
one, to grade agricultural land by
one-fourth sections into classes j
A, B, C, D, etc., considering differ- '
ent elements, such as, soil, climate,
ease of clearing, distance to mar- 1
ket- The other, to determine the
one, or two, products that will grow
to maturity in the largest quantity,
for the least labor. Products that
can be manufactured, or canned,
with the lowest chance of a hand
ling deficit. When the product was
decided upon; we will say for
purpose of argument that it is the
sugar beet, LET THE RAILROAD
BUILD A FACTORY, at the most i
accessable place, for converting !
beet into sugar, (THE MONEY
USED IN BUILDING THIS FAC- |
TORY WOULD BE FAR BETTER
SPENT THAN ON THE PROPOSED j,
LUXURIOUS RIVER STEAMER I
TO ACCOMODATE THE TOUR- !
1ST), and operate it, even at a loss |
until such time as it would become '
self-supporting. Another method ;
would be to induce one of the large
sugar companies in the states to
build the factory under a govern
ment subsidy. Then buy all crops
of the selected commodity, at a
price sufficient to make it profita
ble; thus assuring of a lively -
hood from agriculture. If this pro
position, or something similar, were
put into practice quickly, there
would bo immediate and steady
growth of farming. I have talked
