Is Alaska receiving the benefit from
this wonderful production? Unfor-
tunately, no. A country that can pro-
duce and ship to the outer world
products in one month of value far
greater than all of Seattles industries,
is capable of a great and prosperous
development and of supporting a large
population. We are simply Dreaming
the rich resources of Alaska without
doing anything toward replenishing or
assuring a 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
Northland
The cause of this nondeveIopment 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

Last year one of these pioneers
found a piece of land in the Eagle
river valley, southeastern Alaska. on
which he decided to make a home for
himself and family. AS all of This
portion of Alaska is embraced tn 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 it's 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 gov9rnment surveyor
who proceeded to ctt the homestead
to thirty-nine AGES

This is only one of innumerable in

all the federal bureaus having to do

Alaska, our frontier wonderland,
the land of gold, 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,-
639,545, more than three times the
purchase price paid Russia.
OF this great total, gold and silver
aggregated only $1,6O0,O00. Metals had
a value of about $3,OOO,OOO, while food
supplies totaled in value about ST.
100000. Metals included copper, an.
timony, lead, tin, tungsten, graphite
and chrome ore, while the food sup
plies embraced fish of many kinds,
both canned, smoked, picked and pre-
pared by other methods; oils, stear
inc, vegetables and reindeer meat
any one item of which contains ma
terial for a most instructive article.
Only Beginning.
Those who know in part of Alaska
realize that this remarkable showing
is only the beginning and that the
