BRITISH COLUMBIA FISH CHIEF
GREATLY ENJOYED MOUNT
mckinley trip.
SEES CARIBOU. SHEEP
( Returning This District Coast few
' Months to Conduct Further In
vestigation of fish.
John P. Babcock, head of the Brit
ish Columbia Fisheries, and reported
to be the unofficial representative
of Great Britain relative to the Seal
) Treaty, returned to Seward Sunday
> from his first trip to the Interior.
Mr. Babcock had intended to make
an extended visit to Fairbanks, but
upon his attention being called by
special agent T. B. McGrath of the
Alaska Railroad, to the beautiful
scenic trip into the McKinley Na
J tional Park, Mr. Babcock decided to
make the side trip and, according to
his statement to the Seward Gate
way representative, it was one that
will long live in his memory as be
, ing one of the most pleasant occa
1 sions he has ever experienced.
Thru Dan T. Kennedy, general
manager of the McKinley Park Tour
ist and Transportation Company, Mr.
Babcock was furnished with a fine
riding horse and one of the expert
park guides. He was taken in only
a short distance when he beheld
what he will ever recall—a flock of
approximately 125 mountain sheep,
calmly grazing on a range and, at
another time, was taken to a re
gion wrhere a herd of at least 300
caribou were foraging about. An
other day he rode alone, eight miles
up the beautiful Savage river, and
was enraptured with the charming
scenes he passed.
Mr. Babcock, who departed for Se
attle on the Yukon, said he expect
ed to return to this district in a few
months in the interests of the hali
but investigation by the International
Pacific Salmon and Halibut Inves
tigation Federation, of which there
are four members, two from the Uni
ted States and two from Canada. Mr.
Babcock is one of the Canadian mem
bers.
With reference to the conference
of fishing officials in Seattle last
March, to which H. E. Ellsworth of
Seward, was in attendance, Mr. Bab
cock said the conference was first
suggested by Miller Freeman of Se
attle and called by the Washington
fisheries Board, was the most suc
cessful and harmonious conference
on salmon that has been held dur
ing the 40 years that he has been in
terested in fisheries work. All the
- States and Territory of Alaska were
ably represented. He believes that
" great results will follow. The organ
ization, at the conference, has been
made a permanent one and he is more
than pleased with the progress made.
For the first time, he said, joint ac
tion is being taken.

FOR ALASKANS
GOV’T POLICY NIGGARDLY AND
INTERIOR DEVELOPMENT OF
ALASKA IS DELAYED.
MORE ROADS IS CRY
The Most Important Single Project
Is Road from Ruby to Tocotna,
Says Walter Camp.
F. B. Camp, former Seward news
paper man is down in Seattle stir
ring things up pretty in an effort
to bring about more road construc
tion in the Territory. In an issue
of a recent date the Seattle Post-In
telligencer published the following
article:
Nothing more vital to the develop
ment of Alaska exists at thi3 time
than the construction of roadways
for commercial use and Seattle bus
iness men who get behind a move
ment to this end will find themselves
more than amply repaid in increased
business, according to F. B. Camp,
of Anchorage, Alaska, now in Seat
tle, to attempt to arouse the federal
government to a greater activity in
Alaska road construction.
“The most important single proj
ect up there is the construction of
a road extending from Ruby, on the
Yukon, to Tocotna, in the interior,”
he declared.
Tourists Favored.
“Many of us in Alaska feel that
too great a portion of government
appropriations for road work in
Alaska is spent on projects that
are designed for tourist use, and
that instead more should be spent
on transportation projects that will
enable the development of indus
trial and commercial enterprises.
“Permanent good can come only
from actual development of the
country, and we cannot have this
actual development without means
of getting supplies into the in
terior of sections rich in promise
and yet barely touched by man.
Great Possibilities.
“Completion of the Ruby-Tocotna
road, for example, will open up a tre
mendously potential section. With
this road running in a distance of
approximately 150 miles, supplies can
be gotten in at reasonable cost and
low-grade workings can be develop
ed that will keep a large number of
people busy and promote the nation’s
wealth.
“Under existing conditions, it is
impossible for men ot develop the
low-grade sections of the interior.
Alaskans feel that Seattle, which
promises to profit particularly from
Alaskan development, should get be
hind us in our fight for transporta
tion facilities.
Policy Niggardly.
“Pioneer railroad men did not
wait for the development of the
West before constructing rail lines
to the Pacific Coast.
“Niggardly sums are expended
on the Ruby-Tocotna project, and
hundreds of thousands of acres of
rich territory are lying there use
less because of the yearly delay.”
