ALASKA GIVES BIG FOOD SUPPLY TO
 THE NATION
Fish of Many Kinds Helps Feed "The States" While Metals Prove Valuable in Aiding
 War Preparation

6y J. l.. VI HSON
 Manager Alaska Bureau, Seattle
 Chamber of Commerce and Com
 merclaI Club.
 Alaska, our frontier wonderland, the land of old, has become in the hour of national need the land of the worlds cheapest food supply, and an important source of metals essential to the manufacture of munitions.
 The fiftieth anniversary of the pur- chase of Alaska occurred on October IS. Alaska celebrated her birthday month by sending out to the world during the month of October food and metal products totaling in value $21.- 9,545, more than three times the pur- chase price paid Russia.
 Of this great total. gold and silver aggregated only $1,6O0,OOO. Metals had value of about $3,00O,O0o, while food supplies totaled in value about s17,000,000. Metals Included copper, anthony. lead, tin, tungsten, graph ite, and chrome ore, while the food supplies embraced fish of many kinds, both canned, smoked, pickled and pre- pared by other methods; oils, stearine, vegetables and reindeer meat-any one item of which contains material for most instructive article.
 Only a BeolnninQ.
 Those who know in part of Alaska realize that this remarkable showing is only the beginning and that the story of production for 1917 will be greatly exceeded by that of the years to come.
 Is Alaska receiving the benefit from this wonderful production? Unfor- tunately, no. A country that can pro- duce and ship to the outer world pro- ducts in one month of a value far greater than all of Seattle's indust- ries, is capable of great and prosper ous development and of supporting large population. We are simply creaming the rich resources of Alaska without doing anything toward re- plenishing or assuring continuation of the rich outflow.
 The intensive development that should be encouraged and fostered, especially at this time of rich and great production, is lacking, with the result that Alaska is not building up with the industries and permanent population essential to the prosperity and rational development of the North land.

 Alaska's rich resources should today support a population of at least 500,- 900 instead of the 75,O00 natives and whites, whose land is producing greater per capita wealth of output than that of any country in the worlds history Every true American should lend his or her influence to the bring ing about of a policy of governmental encouragement toward the pioneeers of Alaska that will result in making the Northland the home of strong and prosperous people.
 The development of Alaska, so i'm portant to the nation, will assist great. ly in the rapid development of Seattle as the metropolis of the Pacific coast. Enlightened economic interest" as we'll as patriotic concern therefore in spires the demand for needed legis- lation.
 The restrictive laws now in force preventing development, are regarded by all impartial students of Alaska's needs as being just as absurd as were the objections of the congressman who opposed the purchase of Alaska, calling it Stewards Folly"

The cause of this nondevelopment Is bureaucratic restriction, monopolis. tic condition that is inimical to all that is good and that tends to the rational development of Alaska. The type of men and women who were responsible for the building of our great West are not going to Alaska, land of extreme ly hard physical and climatic condi- tions. where they are subjected to a policy of bureaucratic restriction nev. CT before practiced in democratic country.
 Last year one of these pioneers found a piece of land in the Eagle river valley, Southeastern Alaska on which he decided to make home for himself and family. Assall of this DOT ition of Alaska is embraced in the Tongass Forest Reserve, under the jurisdiction of the bureau of forestry, he made his application to the forest supervisor for the segregation of a homestead.
 The bureau sent one of its survey ors who marked out and segregated about 100 acres of land. The pioneer sent for his family and started to make a frontier home for himself. Evidently, when the report of this government agent reached some of the numerous higher-ups, which string like an endless chain from Alaska to Washington, they decided that this homestead was altogether too large for any one man to own. So, last year there arrived at this Alaska home a second government surveyor who pro ceeded to cut the homestead to thirty nine acres.
 One of Many Instances
 This is only one of innumerable in stances of the restrictive activities of all the federal bureaus having to do with Alaskan affairs They are sim ply trying to stifle development and force into their hands the absolute control of Alaska's resources. If Alaska is to be developed as gov. ernment reserve, peopled only by gov ernment agents and employees, there could be no criticism against such a policy, but we all know that ultimately under such conditions, great and pow erful private monopolies, through pol itical or other influence, will secure to themselves the exploitation of these great resources.
 The excuse for such a policy of re. striction is that the Alaskans are not capable of properly conserving their resources for posterity.
 It Is certain that the Alaskans, with
