The steel age of the United States marked the in
troduction of key industries, or those works capable of
transforming raw materials into the many forms de
manded in modern manufacturing. Pennsylvania had
its coal, as Alaska has it today, in abundance, but with a
small demand, save for fuel. Then followed the discovery
of immense deposits of iron, its transformation into pig
and progressing to steel and kindred alloys and metals
now dominant m our manufacturing industry. Pennsyl
vania’s coal fields became something more than a fuel
supply; they served as the key to the greater things that
have followed.
The same condition exists with respect to mineral
deposits along The Alaska Railroad. A key industry is
! needed to bring them into fruition and with it great
; wealth to the region. Among the most crying need is a
sampling works, or reduction plant where the man of
; small means but with a commercial deposit of ore may
convert it into cash and utilize this money to go further
: in development.
No industry could have a stronger influence upon
business and The Alaska Railroad in the creation of new
sources of revenue for the road, the merchant, the
| miner and all those connected with mining.
For several sessions of the Legislature the question!
of an appropriation for this purpose has been mooted,
supported by the Bureau of Mines, whch is prepared
to approach the Federal government with the question
of contribution to the works. For some reason the Leg
islators have scouted the idea, while at the same time
asking for larger appropriations for works, that, at
best would but be transient in their effect upon business
conditions.
This matter should be urged by the various Cham
bers of Commerce along the railroad, and considered
solely in the light of a general stimulant and not in a
selfish light.
Several cases have been reported lately in Alaska
in which persons attacked by bears have saved
their lives by falling down and pretending to be dead, j
In fact, this is said to be the only safe procedure. But!
we doubt that it would work if the intended victim were
a Wall Street bull.
Some of our professional reformers might take a
. gentle hint from a schoolboy's essay on Socrates. The
; boy wrote: “Socrates was a great man. He was a sort
, of a tramp. He went around telling people what to do,
; and they poisoned him."
I Mayor Jimmy Walker is often late, but never behind.
