IDITAROD STAMPEDE

It is now admitted on all sides that there is going to be a very considerable stampede from Fairbanks to the Iditarod on the opening of navigation. This stampede is not in any way due to lack of opportunity in the Panama valley, for, as has been repeatedly demonstrated in the Citizen, the vicinity of Fair banks offers far greater induce mentS to the prOspectOr and miner than the IditarOd or any other part of Alaska ever will. This fact being acknowledged, the cause of the coming exodus from Fairbanks is not far to seek. Ii lies in the senseless apathy of what remains of the local chamber of commerce. Had this body been alive to its re- responsibilities as a chamber, or had the individual members, if any such remain, been awake to their personal interests, means would have been taken long ago to secure adequate recognition of the enormous latent wealth of this district. Stalnpeding to distant parts would then be su- perseded by local development work, which would mean in creased prosperity for the mer chant, mechanic, miner and in vestor. How tine chamber could have aided the prospectOr is easily seen. It could have col lected data relating to likely districts and have furnished in formation as to the cost of freighting supplies into those districts. In short the chamber could have acted as adviser at the commercial end of mining. But the chamber has done noth- ing, and the consequence is that two thousand men will leave Fairbanks within the next few weeks.
