WORKING ALONG RIGHT LINES
Lacking local industries Alaska has been
drained of money that will never return—
but which should* have remained to develop
home resources. Slow progress is being
made in needed legislation, and other han
dicaps are being removed which, in part at
least, will stop the pouring of money out
side the Territory.
Last week a representative of the Seward
Chamber of Commerce appeared before the
United States Chamber of Commerce, then
in annual session at Washington, D. C. He
was given the “privilege of the floor" and
because of the facts he presented was suc
cessful in obtaining the endorsement of that
prominent body, for the passage of the “Al
aska Grazing Bill.” The Seward Chamber
of Commerce for two years tried to obtain
legislation that last month passed Congress
and was signed by the President, allowing
the export of Alaskan timber cut on the pub
lic domain.
Mr. Noel W. Smith, general manager of
the Alaska Railroad has quietly been mak
ing a demonstration of the industrial pos
sibilities along the railroad. All furniture
used in their offices, depots and hotel, is!
manufactured from birch timber cut and
finished along the railroad; the product is
very pleasing in appearance and of a tine
quality. Insular pins, cross arms, broom
and mop sticks and other wooden articles
are also being manufactured. A foundry,
which has been operating for two years
furnishes the railroad with special castings,
brake shoes, brasses, journals, copper and
brass stock, stoves, etc., in competition with
outside manufacturers. The coke and char
coal used by the railroad is manufactured
locally from Alaskan products, and a birch
and cottonwood veneer has been made that
is suitable for export. Oak car sills are be
ing replaced as needed with native hemlock
and have proven satisfactory. The demand
in the tanning trade for hemlock bark or
bark extract also the market for barrels,
box shooks and cold storage boxes, is being
investigated by Mr. Smith, and if a market
is found new industries will be developed
or profitable sales found for by-products of
established mills.
The Seward Chamber of Commerce, some
time ago compiled statistics which were
printed in these columns, showing the tons
of butter, cheese, eggs, potatoes, bacon,
mutton, beef, canned fruit and vegetables
imported annually, much of which could be I
produced locally. The posisbilities for
sheep raising has been demonstrated by the
shipments of wool thru Seward during the
j)ast three years, bound for outside mar-j
kets.
From time to time these columns will
contain the results of investigations by the
Chamber of Commerce on industrial sub
ject, especially that of a market for Alaska
resources.
Among the agencies that tend to short
en life are haste, vice, germs and Herrin.
1890: “Beg pardon.” 1910: “Sony.” i
1926: “Blah! It was your fault.”
