ALASKA'S FUTURE
IS DEPENDANT ON
ECONOMY, IS SAID
Despite the talk of Alaska’s won
derful future and the opportunities
which that country offers to new set
tlers, only economic pressure forcing
people to settle in new land will bring
any unusual development to the far
northern country, in the opinion of
Wilson S. Gould, Oakland banker and
traveler.
In an address on Alaska delivered
in Oakland recently, before members
of the Rotary Club at their weekly
luncheon meeting in the Hotel Oak
land, Gould said that when he visited
the country recently he discovered
why the much talked of cheap coal
could be shipped into California at a
cost of $4.75 a ton, never arrived in
California.
Lots of Coal
“There is an abundance of coal in
Alaska, sure enough,” said Gould,
“but it costs so much to mine, that
coal mining has never been made a
paying proposition. The veins of
coal are small ones and about the
time an expensive coal mining pro
ject is in full swing the coal deposits
run out and the mine has to be
abandoned. The really cheap coal in
Alaska is the soft, wet kind, that is
very good for local consumption but
impracticable for shipping. If is so
full of moisture and gas that it would
evaporate and dwindle to almost noth
ing by the time it arrived in Califor
nia, if it were to be shipped.”
The raising of sheep and reindeer
is the one industry in Alaska that ap
pears to be sound and profitable, ac
cording to Gould. Agriculture offers
no inducements, he said, because of
the tremendous expense of clearing
land and the short growing season.
“Freight rates are so high on the
railroad owned by the famous Gug
genheim interests that it costs more
to ship a pound of freight from one
section of Alaska to another than it
does to ship the same bill of goods
from Seattle to Liverpool, England,”
said Gould. “As I see Alaska’s fu
ture, it is going to take some econom
ic pressure on the people of other
countries to force them to migrate
to Alaska, wThich is not an inviting
habitation because of its isolation and
the rigors of its climate, to bring
about any real development of the
country.”
Telegraphic instructions for reser
vations at the Van Gilder hotel have
been received from Dr. and Mrs. A.
E. Hubbard, and Mr. and Mrs. George
P. Johnson. They are prominent citi
zens of the east and are making a
leisurely pleasure trip through the
Territory. All will arrive on the Str.
Yukon this week.
G. Johnson, plasterer of Seward,
has just completed another splendid
exterior job of stuccoing, this time
on Fred Miller’s building and the A.
B. Hall, which is now called the
“Dreamland.” Yesterday he began
work with his crewi preparing to stuc
co the south half of the Federal build
ing.
Chief Martin Laming
Calls Meet Firemen
A meeting of the Seward Volun
teer Fire Department, will be held
Friday evening, at 8 o’clock, at. the
fire hall. Chief Lanning is desirous
that every member of the department
be on hand. 3t.
