valuable prize slip through your grasp

CONCERNING ALASKA

an important part during the past
three years in securing recognition
of the needs of this northland. The
work of this bureau is told in a pub
LEGATION just issued under the direc-
ton of Secretary ]. L. Mcpherson.
The real work of the bureau
began prior to the 1911-1912 ses-
sion of Congress, when a committee
of the Chamber OF Commerce made
a tour of Pacific coast states and
enlisted commercial organizations Of
Everett, Spokane, Portland, Oak
land, San Francisco and San Diego
in the effort to get legislative relief
for Alaska. Early in the congress
sional session, committee went to
Washington and began the work of
education. This work was not con-
fined to members of congress and
the administration, but was made
general throughout the country
through the news bureau at Wash
ington.
While this work was going on in
Washington, the bureau in Seattle
was busily engaged gathering the
most authentic information about
Alaska as a basis for future work.
All available publications about
Alaska were secured and bound into
lis volumes with contents indexed.
collection OF Alaskan maps, in
Guiding those of the coast and
geodetic survey, numbering at pres
ent 426, were collected. From this
data a large atlas of "a feature
maps showing the size, climatic and
social conditions, commercial facili-
ties and resources of Alaska was
compiled.
Action on Alaskan railroad legis-
lation was expected in 1914, and
the work of the bureau was centere1
on congress. The entire Alaskan
exhibit of the bureau was taken TO
Washington and maintained there N
charge of Secretary Mcpherson.
cabinet and a large portion of the
membership of congress were in
duced to visit the exhibit and the
picture slides shown, the maps and
data exhibited, had much to do with
educating the administration and
influencing congress in its final
favorable action.
The first two years of the admin
istration of President Wilson have
resulted in the passage of the
Alaskan railroad act and the begin
ming of construction of government
railroads in Alaska and increased
appropriations for aids to naviga-
ton. coast surveys and all govern
ment activities in Alaska. A coal
land leasing law has been passed,
which. it is hoped, will result in the
development OF the enormous coal
encouragement is being shown by
the government toward development
that has been heretofore lacking.
Other accomplishments of the
bureau were the raising of more
than $1,000 for the relief of Nome
in the 1913 flood, the settlement of
trade differences arising between
Seattle merchants and Alaskan GUS
toners, the distribution of thou
sands of pieces of literature on
Alaska, the. answering of thousands
of letters of inquiry and the giving
of information to other thousands
who have called at the headquarters
of the bureau at the Chamber of
Commerce.
The total expense of 1912 1918
and 1914 was $33,226.69, all sub
scribed by Seattle business men. j.
E. Chilberg was first chairman Of
the bureau, w. T. Perkins chairman
in 1913 and Scott c. Bone in 1914
and 1915.
