Every Interest in Alaska Should
Have Fostering Care Of Country :
Secretary Red6eld Declared Today-Important Work
Planned by the Department of Commerce
for This Important Territory

terest in Alaska should have the fos
tering care of the country, so that it.
development may be rounded and mo-
partial" Secretary Redfeld declared
today in letter to Governor Thomas
Riggs, jr., outlining important worl
planned by the department of com
merce for the benefit of the territory
An essential preliminary to the de-
|velepment of Alaska, Secretary Red
field said, is that Alaskan waters
should be made safe for navigation
and he pledged the continuous serv-
ices of the Coast and Geodetic survey
to that end. The hope of Alaska to
have a coast dotted with fishing vii
lagos is regarded with especial favor
by the department, which will lend
its efforts to bring this about. Mr.
Redfield also pointed out the possibil-
ity Of establishing shipyard in Alas
ka and said that if such an enterprise
were in operation now, the govern
ment would be glad to have it build
four launches needed for the Fisheries
service.
Extension of the facilities for car.
rying on the work OF the coast sur
vey, bureau of lighthouses and bureau
Of fisheries is planned by the depart
ment, including new vessels for each
Al new district for the steamboat in
spection service has been made neces-
sary by the growth of the work in the
northwest and headquarters probably
will be opened at Portland or Seat
tie. Plans are being made for salmon
culture and for experiments with ne
elected species of fish foods by estab-
fishing a fisheries experiment station
on Paget sound. Secretary Redfield
wrote:
"The rich aquatic resources of Alas
ka have not heretofore received the
attention they deserve One or two
fisheries of great Importance have
overshadowed others. Yet these more
or less neglected fishes are valuable
food products and are the very ones
which have made other countries pros
rerous. We have undertaken a cam
paign to introduce into wider popular
rse the valuable food fishes of Alaska
hitherto largely neglected.
"Coincident with the resumption of
commercial sealing on the Pribilof
islands, the department for the first
time in the history Of those islands is
making use of the by-products of the
sealing industry. A reduction plant
has been sent to the islands and there
will henceforth be large and valua-
BILE output of oil and fertilizer. These
The evening leader., 1918-07-11

are both in great demand and will
never again be utterly wasted as in
the past.
"ln my recent visit to the Pacific
northwest it was more than once sug-
; gested as a hope that the coast of
Alaska might be dotted with fishing
villages, each pursuing prosperous
local industry and each contributing
to the nations food supply and wealth.
It is our earnest hope that this may
come to pass and the department of
commerce will willingly lend it's eff
forts to bringing this about.
"The department realizes, however,
that no country can safely depend per-
nnanently upon every industry or occu-
patton. In, diversity lies security.
Every interest in Alaska should have
the fostering care of the country so
that its development may be rounded
and not partial. Before the shores of
Alaska, however, can be covered as
they ought to be, with the vessels
bringing to and from her ports the
commerce that is their due, the waters
of Alaska must be made safe and this
means that the surveys of many
straits and arms must be worked out
so that the navigator shall know how
to avoid the perils that now threaten
him. To this important task the serv-
ices of the coast and geodetic surveys
shall be continuously devoted"

NEWS NOTES FROM MEXICO

The congress of the state of Puebla
has under consideration a proposition
for the establishment of rural schools
in every portion of that common
wealth, in order that no child may be
without the means of acquiring a rud-
imentary education at the least.
The American Smelling and Rein
ing company is reopening its various
plants in Mexico. The latest to begin
operations was that at Chihuahua,
where some five hundred men are now
employed, which will be increased to
over thousand in short time.
