DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALASKA
AND OTHER FRONTIERS
(From Juneau Empire)
The people of Alaska should not ex
pect too much of them (the congres
sional party,) and there should not be
disappointment if the growth and the
development of the Territory should
be slower than we should like to have
it. We sometimes expect too much
from the Outside. We often think of
the rapid growth of other and earlier
frontiers and feel that hidden away
some place there is an electric button
of some sort that If touched would
cause a new Alaska to spring forth
full grown, like Minerva from the
brain of Jehovah. But there is no
such button.
This is a different country than that
found by those who crossed the moun
tains into Kentucky and Tennessee,
the old Northwest Territory and thru
out the Mississippi valley and the
Gulf states. And times have changed
in the last century.
A family could put its all in a wa
gon and move into that earlier fron
tier and begin immediately to pro
duce their necessities and many did.
They worked their way with a team
of horses or oxen hitched to a wagon,
a cow or two, and little equipment,
and lived off the country. They did
without luxuries, dependent upon the
future to reward them or their chil
dren for the hardships, privations and
self denial that was their lot. Those
were the days of large families and
in a few years the family of two be
came a dozen or so. There was a rap
id population gain, and capital follow
ed the population to establish indus
tries and to develop other resources
than agriculture.
It is different in Alaska. People
cannot hitch a span of horses to a
wagon and move into this Territory.
And twentieth century Americans de
mand more than did those pioneers of
a hundred years ago. They do not
expect to undergo the self denial and
poverty that was acceptable by those
of thht other day, and they won’t.
Large accessions to the population
of Alaska depend upon the develop
ment of the natural resources of the
country. The capital must come be
fore immigration in great numbers.
Population will follow mining, fisher
ies, pulp and paper, fur farming, wa
ter power and other development.
The population that Alaska now has
came largely in the wake of mining
and fishing development. The great
est potential populating resource that
we have in Southeastern Alaska is in
our timber which has been proved to
be specially adapted to pulp and pa
per manufacture. It is estimated that
Southeastern Alaska can produce from
one million to a million and a half
tons of paper annually and in perpe
tuity. That would give employment
to 30,000 to 45,000 men, which would
mean an addition of several times that
number to the population, markets for
farmers, fishermen, craftsmen^ manu
facturers, business men and profes
sionals. It would eventually mean a
great American State.
There are things that could be done
to facilitate this development. The
agricultural States were developed
because the Government adopted a
liberal attitude in the disposal of the

lands. Development in Alaska will be
facilitated by liberality in the dispo
sal of the natural resources. It should
be made so that Alaskans may line
up resources of timber and water pow
er, etc., and take them to the man
with capital for development, as they
can with their mining prospects. The
Government should not depend upon
its ownership of the resources for pro
fits from Alaska. Its profits will come
with their development just as they
came from the other States in which
it never owned any of the resources
or disposed of them without profit to
it. This means, of course, that Alas
ka will not grow as fast probably, as
other sections grew, but it will grow
