That much of the .food, supply of
Alaska could be filled by production
in interior Alaska is the belief of
Noel W. Smith, general manager of
the Alaska railroad, after a study of
importations made from the states
during the past year. That much
demand is present for agricultural
products is shown by the report of
the Alaska railroad for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1926. During this
period products of this nature receiv
ed from the states and distributed
by the railroad system between Sew
ard and Fairbanks amounted to, for
dressed meats, 609.8 tons, hay 1,143.4
tons, potatoes, 345,2 tons, butter,
287.2 tons, and eggs, 290.0 tons.

(Continued from Page Six)
j given an opportunity to combine on
| the choice of a delegate who will bet
ter represent them. There is no rea
son why the local democratic and lo
| cal republican clubs should not organ
ize separately on other issues arid the
j Marquam for Delegate club be made
up of a membership of both. We are
non-partisan and the one and only is
sue to come before the club at any
time will be the election of a delegate.
We pledge our best efforts to effect
the election of Mr. Thos. A. Marquam
as delegate to congress. Mr. Marquam
has lived in the territory of Alaska
continuously since 1897, is a man of
high standing and well fitted to repre
sent the territory as delegate. He has
a thorough knowledge of existing laws
and needs of all divisions and is entit
led to the support of the Alaska voters,
irrespective of party affiliations.
A public meeting will be called in
the near future to make further com
mittee assignments and organize the
voters into a support of this issue.
