SEWARD VISITOR PROPOSES NEW
IDEA WITH VIEW TO ASSIST
ING OUR PROBLEMS
Believes Alaska Colonization
Farming, Not Mining or Fishing, Is
What Will Develop Alaska, Says
Philadelphia Visitor
“So far as I can see, Alaska Is not
a drain on the government, but is pay
ing her way,” declared A. H. Jeffreres,
a retired paper manufacturer of Phil
adelphia, who was a visitor in Seward
the first part of the week. Continu
ing Mr. Jeffreres said, “I believe the
country has a big future and though
Alaska will have an uphill fight, con
sidering so many of the Congressmen
and Senators believe Alaska is just so
much waste land and simply a show
ground, nevertheless, the outlook for
the Territory looks encouraging to
me.”
Rough Trip Over Highway.
The trip over the Richardson trail
was very rough, Mr. Jeffreres stated.
In fact, it was so bad and the driver
drove so rapidly, that he was bruised
in the his back, which, though it did
not keep him from enjoying the trip
down the Alaska Railroad to Seward,
required him to remain in bed for a
time seeking relief. However, the trip
over the trail is beautiful and worth
while, and anyone who wants to see
the country in the rough should make
this tour.
Farming Is Solution
Contrary to the opinion which gen
erally prevails with regard to what
Alaska needs for increasing her popu
lation and for the betterment and ad
vancement of the Territory, Mr. Jeff
reres said he thought agriculture is
the solution to all of these problems.
He believes the government is making
a mistake in that it should encourage
the immigrant to the Territory, in
many ways similar to the manner in
which the Canadian government has
assisted her farming pioneers.
Start a Penal Institution.
Unlike the method in the early days
of Australia, but in some manner
which no doubt could be easily ar
ranged, Mr. Jeffreres believed that it
might be a good plan for the govern
ment to have a penal institution in
Alaska, not of the hardened class,
which could be sent from the States,
to work on road and trail construc
tion and to till the soil.
