The fourth installment of Thos. A.
Marquam’s Independent candidate for
delegate to congress address, given at
the Liberty theater Saturday even
ing, follows:
“Now in Fairbanks and the sur
rounding country, also in Anchorage
there is something that is very vital
in the development of the country,
and the development of this would be
of a great help to Seward, and I refer
to the great Matanuska and Tanana
valleys. We have wonderful agricul
tural possibilities, such as most of
you do not realize, but if you could
have seen the exhibits at the fairs
this season you would, but of course
all of these crops are only grown in a
—
small way. I think it is a large part
of the railroad’s work and that of
those who are charged with the con
duct of management to carry the ad
vertising of this outsiders who are
looking for places to settle and make
their homes. And that territory is j
large enough for 10,000 farmers rais-'
ing vegetables, poultry and beef. Stop j
and think what that would mean to j
us! If nothing else we would care !
for the home consumption, and keep
the many thousands of dollars spent
each week in Seattle and other
places at home. You may remember
in a certain way about the time the
Great Northern was being built thru
the country. Jim Hall had a wonder
ful vision. There were fewer travel
ers and settlers in the country than
we have here, but he saw that with
the means of transportation great
numbers* could be brought in, that the
soil was there, so he built his road
and brought the people in in colonies,
and look at the country today! It is
permanent and something of that
kind would do the same for us, if an
individual railroad could do it. Why
cannot our government railroad do the
same, and think what a wonderful
thing it will be when we have 10,000
farmers in the Matanuska, Tanana,
and Kenai vicinities.
“And there is in our Territory ano
ther great industry, about which
something must be done, and that is
i the coal. A means of loading coal
| should be here in Seward. Storage
) bunkers ought to be located here and
[facilities for ships. No matter what
the cost, the present railroad invest
ment is enough to warrant further, in
order to increase tonnage and put
Alaskan coal on the market. Mr.
Treadway questioned dt Cordova,
Canadian coal for the radio station, as
to why U. S. did not use Alaskan coal,
and not even an excuse or suggestion
of any kind was made by Mr. Suther
land. While on my trip to the west
ward I talked with Capt. Johanson of
the S. S. Starr of the lack of accur
ate survey of the waters to the West
ward. This matter was taken up in
a talk previously before the Sew
ard Chamber of Commerce. The need
of adequate survey and maps, more
lighthouses, another light-house ten
der for the waters up here is of the
utmost importance. The Cedar now
is overworked. Although we have
owned Alaska 59 years, there is only
nine per cent of the coast line survey
ed, yet in the Philippines which we
have owned only 25 to 26 years, 69
per cent of the coast line is charter
ed. A second light house district
should be created in Alaska with
headquarters here. Another thing
that we badly need is better mail ser
vice. Over 36 miners working in
the Kantishna, never had a mail ex
cept that packed in on foot. Koyukuk
