Alaska. IT, the 4s years of interven- ing since its purchase. we have given it little more than the most casual concern. yet its mines, fisheries, and fIrs alone have added to our wealth the grand sum Of $JOO,O0O.0O0 For al- most @ generation 1t was the rich harvest field of a single company, h. diyidual fortunes have been made in that country larger than the price paid to Russia for the whole territory. Jt has been estimated that there are 50.G00. .O0G acres of this lend that win make homes for a people as sturdy as those of New England. Whether this is SO or not it would appear t.lat Alaska can be made self-sustaiH- ing agriculturally.
 This vast and unsurpassed asset lies almost undeveloped \ territory one-Gfth the size of the United States contains less than a thousand miles of anything that can be called wag- on road"
 This unfortunate condition" in Secretary Lanes judgment, is not due to the "inhospitality cf the Alaska eli mate because some of southeastern Alaska has a climate more temper ate and more equable than that of the city of Washington. while much of the greater portion of the north has a kindlier climate than Stockholm or St. Petersburg. There is more rail road building 300 miles north of the Canadian border than there is for the same distance south of it.
 Why has not this land been deyel- oped? The frank answer Is that we did not realize until within a few years that it was worth developing.
 @My conclusion is that If we are to bring Alaska into the early aad fuH realization of her possibilities we must create a new piece of govern mental machinery for the purpose. h my judgment the way to deal with the problem of Alaskan resources is to establish a. board oi directors to have this work in charge.
