PIONEERS TAKE ACTION
The Anchorage Igloo of Pioneers
in a recent resolution passed by that
organization devoted a column or two
to matters pertaining to tthe Alaska
Railroad. One matter touched upon
was that of building up tonnage for,
the road, and increasing develop
ment of the sections traversed. With
the limited population the road is
undoubtedly handicapped in revenue,
and this will continue until a policy
of development is outlined by the
railway of the government looking to
the colonization of the district adja
cent to the road. Already an official
has been named to look over the sec
tions tributary to the i-oad with a
way to further colonizing them, each
permanent settler being worth many
dollars to the railway in freight a-;
lone. That the road has built up:
the country traversed to a wonder-;
ful degree is shown by the dozens of
small towns springing up in favor- j
ed spots ,and by the hundreds of
farms cleared, and peopled by con
tended settlers. That this section is
not already densely populated is the
result of misunderstanding on the
part of farmers and truck raisers
outside. Rather than being a land of
jce and snow Alaska is capable of
providing homes for several hund-l
red thousand farmers and stock rai
sers, in a climate far less rigid than;
n the northern states along the Can-|
adian border. The land yields heav
ily in root crops and grains, and all
kinds of small fruits and berries may
be raised in abundance . When the
truth about Alaska once becomes
known the man and woman who de
sires to live on the fruits of the
soil can find unlimited opportunites.
The Pioneer resolution has not ex
pressed the half of the possibilities
existing here if they are once realiz
ed. Living is high in the states and
jobs scarce. One can live in Alas
ka in comfort by the expenditure of
half the effort made in the states.
As the country is settled up living
conditions become more easy and less
onerous. It is to be hoped that the
colonization project is carried out to
completion.
ALASKAN FAIRS
The recent agricultural fair and in
dustrial exhibit in Anchorage shows
the value of these exhibits to the
Territory. While the recent exhibit
was an unqualified success, it is safe
to say that next year the attendance
will be much larger and the exhibits
much greater in number than this
year. The management this season
had but a short time to work up in
terest and to advertise the event, and
despite these drawbacks the financial
side of the proposition was very en
couraging, while the advertising is of
incalculable value. The recent indus
trial exhibit is of great value to th%
Third division as a whole. Anchor
age is practically the center of
a vast farming and mineral area and
this combined with the exhibits from
other sections assure a wonderful
showing of grains, fruits and vege
tables. Next year’s fair will be
watched with interest.
