CONTRIBUTORS TO PROSPERITY
Fur farming along the Alaska Railroad has grown
in magnitude until it is beginning to make its influence
felt in other lines of business. The demand thus created
for feed has prompted many canneries to prepare for
saving valuable b}r-products next season, which will
be conserved and packed to meet the.needs of the farms.
This side line is expected to materially, augment reve
nues from canning fish and at the same time places with
in the reach of the fur farmer his most vital need
cheap feed for his pelters.
CAN YOU IMAGINE?
After living in Alaska can you imagine two rail
roads applying to a state commission for the privilege
of building a cut-off line so they could benefit that state
and the country in between? Doesn’t it make the very
gods on high Mount McKinley chortle in chilly glee as
they look across the rolling meadows of the Tanana and
the Kuskokwim and Matanuska while they ponder on |
the struggles of one railroad?
Yet the Great Northern and Western Pacific have
to lay their case before the Interstate. Commerce Com
mission with California as the chief witness. They want j
a 200-mle line thru the Klamath Falls country to get in
more direct touch with the Golden Gate.
Of course there is a lot of rich, undeveloped coun
try in between which will benefit.
Why must they go before a commission to ask if
they may spend money to develop the country? Can you
imagine anything like that happening to us?
Now if the wise guys of New York knew more about
faro they'd have put coppers here and there and not tried
to play 'em all open.
