JUDGE TRUITT OF
. HUGE, TALKS
ALASKA WANTS PEOPLE WHO
LOVE AND APPRECIATE A
HOME; THEY ARE THE PEOPLE
WHO WILL BUILD ALASKA
J. S. Truitt, prominent attorney
and citizen of this district, who has
been a visitor in the city for a few
days while en route to the Valdez
court term, delivered an after dinner
speech at the Chamber of Commerce
luncheon yesterday, which impressed
everyone of his listeners as to the
truth of his statements which were
confined principally to the Alaska of
the future.
Judge Truitt said:
“I am sure that I can’t add any
thing to what has been said about
schools since we have the authority
here with us. We all know that the
little red school house is the tounda
tion of civilization.
“Another thing suggested to me by
Mr. Henderson’s talk is co-operation
in Alaska. I feel that we all under
stand why -we may not have had co
operation between communities is be
cause of the magnificent distances.
We all know what the last ten yeare
of growth has been in Alaska. W«
are cut off from our states. The
world war took our young men and
the prospectors, and Alaska is pri
marily a mining country. But it has
its agricultural possibilities. I "was
surprised at the last fair in Anchor
age. When I left eastern Washing
ton, they were growing everything
that the early settler had thought im
possible to grow, and here today
you are showing apples and tomatoes
ripened in Alaska. When I was com
ing down on the train the other day
a certain party remarked to me that
his cucumbers did not do any too
well this year, I was astounded for
I had no idea they couid even raise
one, so Alaska has agricultural pos
sibilities.
“Wo want people to come and
stay here, we don’t want people
who come in the summer an l go out
in the winter, nor people who spend
all thcdr money in the mail order
house?., but we do want people who
love a home, know how to build a
home and appreciate one, tney will
build* A’aska for us.”
