of the road will necessitate another three
years of labor.
But 1t suf1iced that they knew the road
will eventually be built.
This road. which is to cover more than
100 miles will connect tidewater on the
Pacific ocean with the two great inland
waterways. the Yukon and Kuskokwin

And of these. very few have been even

sibIe And this was another point
brought out by Mrs. Strong.
Interior Alaska is already as fully de-
veloped as it is possible for it to be, mi
nus a railroad" Mrs. Strong explained
And lack of transportation facilities
forms the sole reason. Imagine a coun-
trv so vast that a man can pack upon
his back all the food his physical
strength can endure. and yet have it ex-
hausted long before the real interior can
even be touched, let alone developed.
That is what happened to us. If Alaska
remains undeveloped today, it is because
the ingenuity of man has been taxed TO
its fullest. and failed. We did every
thing possible for human beings. We
could not build the railroad ourselves.
Therefore. the interior yet holds its
treasures"
1t was Kipling who wrote: ''If you've
card the east a-callin, you won't never
'eed naught else" But it was Robert
Service who immortalized the lure of the
northland, THE lure of Little Voices"

Alaska which, once heard and needed,
can never be forgotten-or left unan-
swered.
And that typifies Mrs. Strong Seven
teen years in Alaska, with the little
voices" calling. calling all the time, and
nowhere else in all the world means to
her just what the territory of Alaska
stands for.
Californian by birth. European by edu-
cation. and world cultured by travel.

and therefore interested in protecting
life and property
Many American railway men at one
time were employed on the Mexican rail-
ways. For years nearly all the engi-
neers and conductors were American. as
were some of the station masters. The
mechanics in the roundhouses and other
shops were also Americans. When the
Diaz policy of nationalizing the railways
was entered upon the effort was also
made to Mexicanize their operation. In
der this plan American railway men were
gradually displaced.
Though they felt very bitter about 1t.
they recognized that a strong sentiment
existed throughout Mexico against en-
ploying Americans, and the government
could not ignore this sentiment. When
the Madero revolution broke out most of
the Americans had been displaced. Those
who remained were employed on the
federal railways. although here and
there few found employment with the
rebels.
The Diaz government in trying to de-
velop national industries always had in
mind that these were for the benefit of
It's own people, and therefore American
mechanics and artisans were not encour-
aged But when an iron and steel plant

New Mexico and Arizona.
Aside from this racial antipathy they
get along very we'll. Some of them are
hard swearers and they swear in both
English and Spanish. The United States
needs all the beef that Mexico can raise.
and these American ranchmen and cat
tlemen in northern Mexico feel that they
ought to be encouraged by their own gov
ernment
Mormon colonies were established years
ago in Chihuahua and Sonora. The Nor
mons are desert conquerers, and they
made the deserts of northern Mexico bios
SON. Their herds and their homes and
their property excited the cupidity of VII
las men. So they were among the earliest
driven out They trekked across the des
ert with such belongings as they could
take away in the old-time covered wagon
or prairie schooner.
Since the complete military control of
the constitutionalists has been exerted In
northern Mexico, and responsibility for
protecting the lives and property of for
eigners has been admitted by the consti-
tutionalists some of the Mormons have
trekked back again; but the fiocks they
are taking with them and the crops they
expect to raise always will be an invit-
ing object of attack to marauders, wheth-

liberal government subsidy. it was found
necessary to depend on Pittsburgh for
the skilled laborers.
This resulted in a small colony of high
grade American mechanics, but they. too,
gradually had to give way to Mexicans,
though Mexican mechanics, even after
careful training, bore little comparison
in the results Of their work to the skilled
iron and steel workers from the United
States.
The rubber factories which we're started
In the state of Coahuila to utilize the
guayule shrub were American enter
ginning by American capital. Some work.
ers were brought from rubber factories
in the United States, but these were
hardly numerous enough to form dis
tinct colony. Mexican laborers were the
mainstay in the rubber industry.
The exploitation of the timber resources
of the Sierra Madres was chiefly through
American enterprise Lumbermen from
Wisconsin and Minnesota, and also from
the southwestern states. spread through
that region. Some Canadians also came.
The biggest sawmill in the world, at
Pearson, In Chihuahua. is the outcome Of
American-Canadian enterprise.
American farmers in Mexico are pretty
numerous, from the big ranch owner, or
proprietor of a hacienda, down to the
small landowner, although the total land
holdings of Americans in Mexico Is a
very small proportion of the land.

some things quite in common. One is
the right 10 differ. There are the IA D
tions. In Mexico City there were al
ways two leading factions. with minor
factions.
Wherever there was a consul there
was faction in his favor and fac
official representatives. the factions

heard with much satisfaction that an
other American was coming.
"Ah." he remarked. that is good.
When he arrives the Americans win
have three factions, and il won't he
so monotonous.
These American factions. or the
tendency of the Americans to divide
into factions. have logical basis.
One of the real pioneers who went to
Mexico as an irreconciiahle toufeder-
ate. and who has stayed there ever
since, gave me the explanation.
We can't mix in the politics OF the
country he said. "and We've got to
have something to get excited about.
so we just split into factions"
He and Grand Army veteran at
that time happened 10 be the minority
faction which was antagoniztng the
rest of the American colony as 10 the
fitness of a certain consul to represent
the United States.
While these factional differences oc-
casionally develop among the Ameri-
cans in Mexico. they are in reality
superficial They do not keep the diff
ferent factions from coming together
on any vital question that affects the
interests or the honor of their country.
In spite of their losses and their sut-
ferings, IL is apparent that the majority
of the Americans who have gotten out OF
Mexico during the last two~years.f and
particularly during the last six months,
expect to return, From their point OF
view there is nothing else for them to
do. They came to Mexico under a gov
ernment which promised them protection
