NEGLECT OF ALASKA

It is about time that the congress of the United States should awake to the fact that Alaska is an integral part of this great American country and that it is entitled to just treat ment and consideration at the hands of the national law makers. An ab pect to Alaska, due directly to the indifference and ignorance of the members of the congress, who are Alaska has a territorial form of making laws, or imposing rgulations for the government of that territory, and especially with the disposition of the natural resources, such as coal, oil, timber and minera lands. While Alaska has territoriay form of the great natural resources native thereto. The federal govrnment re- tains control of the land and all that is in or on it.
 As an instance of the way the re- sources are being tied up by the fail ure of the federal government to re- lease them, may cite the situation with respect to oil-bearing lands in the territory. In the year 1906, by presidential order, or proclamation all oil-bearing lands in Alaska were withdrawn from private entry and location Locations made prior to that time were regarded as null and void. The claiment could not acquire title. And to this late day, the situ- alton remains absolutely unchanged. Oil-bearing lands may not be located in Alaska. Thirteen years have pass ed since the harsh presidential order withdrew these oil-bearing lands from entry There have been thir- teen sessions of the national congress since that time, and yet no relief leg islation has been given Alaska in this behalf
 Aside from several small oil wells in the Katalla district owned and Op erated by private captal, and which supply but small part of the total amount of oil and gasoline used in the territory, Alaska has to import it's oil products from the states-a ridiculous situation, in the light of the known existence of oil-bearng lands in the north.
 An almost similar situation main tains with regard to the coal lands of Alaska. It is true that private parties may now obtain leases from the government on Alaska coal lands, but the terms imposed are not liberal enough-in other words, the coal land leasing bill is not a workable | measure, hence no private parties care to operate under it.
 The United States navy created a naval reserve in the Matanuska coal | fields, taking in the best part of that | coal bearing area. The presumption | when this reserve was created was that the navy proposed to develop l this reserve so as to insure an ade- quate coal supply for the naval fleet of the Pacific coast. This probably was the intention of those causing this coal reservation, but up to this time, despite the fact that a govern ment owned and operated railway line taps the Matanuska fields, the navy department has done nothing in the way of development.-Alaska Dis match

Could we turn loose our fancy as
we dine, we could see great army OF
men and women working that we might
eat. The appetites of men now levy
tribute upon all the continents and all
the seas. and where once all roads led

those who have assisted in the prepara-
ton of our meal At the top of the list
come olives and salted nuts. The olives
mayhap are from Spain. the almonds
from California. aud the pecans from
Texas. The salt on the nuts was pre-
pared in New York state. Also we
have celery that came from Michigan.
Then comes the soup. Without a
cookbook at hand, this writer will not
pose as an authority on the ingredients
of soup, but it may be Chesapeake bay

pepper from Africa in it and other in

land.
Next comes our salad, and it con-
tains-if man may guess at the con-
tents of salads and dressings-Nlexican
peppers, Hawaiian pineapples, Sicilian
cherries, Pennsylvania lettuce, Iowa
eggs, Spanish olive oil, Ohio vinegar
California mustard and Guiana red
pepper. When we get down to the ice
cream, we eat Virginia cream, Cuba
sugar, Ecuadorean vanilla and Mexi-S
can chocolate. The cake that goes with
it is made of butter from Illinois, flour
from Minneapolis, made from wheat
grown in North Dakota; baking pow
der from Pennsylvania and other in
gradients. When it comes to coffee, il
we are fastidious we will have issued
draft on both Turkish Arabia and Dutch
Java, or if we are only folk of every
day taste we will content ourselves with
the Brazilian product.
And so, when we come to reckon up
those who have helped produce the raw
materials of which our foods are made,
we find the clouted African savage and
the American stock grower: the South
American Indian and the California
truck farmer; the Javanese coffee picker
and the Virginia dairyman the tur-
baned Arabian and the New York or
chardist; lthe Chinese coolie and the
Dakota wheat farmer; the Mexican peon
and the Chesapeake bay fisherman; the
Porto Rican planter and the Hawaiian
sugar grower; the Spanish olive packer
and the Alaskan Eskimo fisherman.
Yet all these neglect the matter Of
transportation. Our food comes to us
on the heads of Indians. on the backs
of donkeys, drawn in carts by huge
water buffaloes, aboard the ship of the
desert. on wheelbarrows propelled by
Chinese coolies. Steamships, railroad
trains, auto trucks and delivery cars
have all played their part in the great
work of catering to discriminating ap-'
petites.
Truly the man who dimes well ought
to be deep student of geography, for
all races, all nationalities, all types
of peoples, all points of the compass, all
latitudes-continent, island, river and
sea-all must come to him as he looks
over the bill of fare and tries to find
those things that delight his palate. "
