A ROADLESS EMPIRE
The Kenai Peninsula contains approximately 9,000
square miles of area—seven times as large as Rhode
Island and 776 miles larger than the State of New Jer
sey—this great region is accessible only on its frin
ges: bv boat via the Pacific Ocean and Cook Inlet, and
by a few miles of roadway extending from the Alaska
Railroad. .
The Kenai Peninsula is known to be rich m coal and
precious metals; there are perhaps 100 fur farms sit
uated here and there, it has a vast agricultural area
where livestock may winter in the open; the Kenai hunt
ing grounds are world renowned; its coast settlements,
the largest of which has approximately 600 population,
are peopled by those who gain a livelihood from the sea,
being unable to penetrate the interior because of lack
of transportation in the form of roads and trails.
Lying as it does, in one of the most salubrious cli
matic latitudes of Alaska, it is a source of wonder why
the Alaska road building program does not include this
region within its scope, on a larger scale than has beenj
done in the past. The annual resources from this area are
enormous as compiled figures reveal.
The settlements along the Cook Inlet side are ac
cessible only in summer by boat. When winter comes,
they are as much isolated as the most remote portion of
the Territory. If such a catastrophy as that visiting the
Bristol Bay region, came over Kenai Peninsula settle
ments, it would entail an equally difficult undertaking
to bring relief. If an epidemic was visited upon these
settlements, the people would be at the mercy of fate
for many weeks until small craft could make their way
from Seward.
A trunk road, connecting the Alaska Railroad, is
badly needed on the peninsula to afford from the land
side a year-round access; it would open a fertile country
to the agriculturist, miner, more fur farms and otherj
industries.
Population for Alaska can never be looked for until
the various road departments are granted ample appro
priations to make such regions accessible and the settler
given encouragement. Under present circumstances the
difficulties and hardships are too many for the most
courageous.
UNIVERSAL DRAFT
I
Government authorities and various patriotic or
ganizations have been considering the advisability of
a universal draft law, whereby capital, material and lab
or, as well as fighting men, may be pressed into service!
in the event of war.
The grave injustice of compelling the able-bodied j
men of the nation to serve on the battlefield for a dollar
a day, while other citizens grow rich through excessive ;
war profits, has been demonstrated to every right think*
ing person.
In other words, it should be so that no person can
possibly make money out of war. And when there is no
money to be made out of war, there will be less war.
The proposed plan for drafting all the resources of
the nation for its defense should have the hearty support
of all citizens.
An earnest young Chinese applied for a position
with a Vancouver firm in a letter worded thusly: ‘Sir—
I am Wang—I can drive typewriter with good noise and
my English she is great—My last job has reason that
the large man has dead—So, honorable sir what about
it—if I can be as big use to you I will arrive on same
date that you should guess.” It is hoped that Wang got
the job.
Restrictions on importation of foreign nuts is ad
vocated. Another good idea that came a little late.
“The truth shall make you free,” sometimes. Often
er it would send folks to jail.
Never start anything your wife can’t finish.
