PRAISES SCHOOLS
He praised the work being done
by the government industria
schools for natives, showing
that the children are very cap
able and do manual work in a
skillful way, altho their at
tainments scholasticlly were lim
ited. His belief that in time these
schools will teach the younger
generations enough so that they
can earn good livings by various
kinds of skilled labor.
Fur farming is in an excellent
condition, with more than 500
farms in operation. Good fur far
mers are making a success at it.
The constantly dimishing supply
of wild fur is expected to enhance
the incomes of capable men in
this field of endeavor.
THREE MAJOR PROJECTS
Three major projects are be
ing pushed by Mr. Garfield’s de
partment. land settlement, organ
ization of a territorial chamber
of commerce, and the establish
ment of an international high
way. from Seattle to Alaska.
M. D. Snodgrass, director of
the Matanuska experiment sta
tion is in the states now work
ing for colonization along the
Alaska railroad. Though but few
farmers may settle here at first
Garfield looks for a steady in
crease in number that will till
the soil for a livelihood.
The territorial chamber of com
merce is being organized to co
ordinate the interests of the Ter
ritory at large. Matters affecting
Alaska as a whole will be handled
by this organization. Garfield
has had fine cooperation in the
undertaking to establish this
body.
WORK FOR HIGHWAY
The proposed international
highway would be about 2,000
miles in length. At the present
time 1,200 miles of the route is
constructed but part of it would

Garfield gave an interesting
j outline of the Sourdough Stam

and stated that much helpful
publicity for the Territory re
sulted from this reunion.
ILK FARM STATION
' The Seattle chamber is working
tor the establishment of a fur

| hoped that a station may also
| be established in either Wash

time the only station of this
kind is located at Saratoga, N. Y.
In closing Gari'eild stated that
the Seattle chamber was always

cal organization where th ein

character or of territorial inter
est and were not in conflict with
other parts of Alaska.
