ALASKA'S REVENUES.
Territory Pays Its Keep Out OF Ita
Vast Fisheries Alone.

vast F10nGH1e0 Alone
Ffum the Journal Of Commzce
In the course of q debate in the House
recently, Representative Wickersham. of
Alaska, called attention to the fact that
that Territory pays its first cost every
year out Of the fisheries alone. The total
salmon trade last year amounted to $13-
100000 IT this house was not 50 abso-
lutely and densely ignorant Of the value
Of Alaska we could get little road that
would add very much to its development
and make a great American State Of one
little community larger than the State of
Illinois surrounding the Iditarod," he
said
Whether Mr.. Wickersham's structures
upon the House define its intelligence of
Alaskan resources or not. Congress needs
to address itself more specifically to the
problem of the Territory's development.
We find that in addition to its $4,000. 900
salmon crop last year it produced $20.-
100000 worth of gold. Here are only two
items. 1t has scores Of others produc-
tive Of other millions every year. Its coal
fields. for instance. totaling some 100
square miles in area, are beyond power to
estimate in value. Its timber and its other
minerals. to say nothing Of its soil fer
tility. are elements Of untold wealth.
The trade Of Alaska to the United States
last year is said to have come to $50.0O0.-
oN. Yet no systematic effort has been
made to develop that trade. II these
figures are correct they only suggest
the wonderful possibilities that lie in
definite development.
The President took the pains to send
two Cabinet officers 10 Alaska last sum-
mer to study conditions. 1t is hoped
that before long Congress will adopt
some specific plan that will throw open
to the people Of this country the wealth
Of Alaska, so much needed now.
