Alaska is not growing numerically. For the decade of l9lO,2O, according to the census, it's inhabitants de creased 10000. A liberal estimate to, ! day would not place the white popula- 1 tion in excess of 3O,0O0 as against the 1 perhaps inadequate official figures of ] 27OOO compiled in the winter season of 1920.
 The Territory's loss in population is strikingly significant in that it does largely affect the natives, whose mum Der, approximately 27OOO, by census count, shows a comparatively small ratio of decrease, despite serious epi- denies and toll of deaths thcrcfrom during the ten years.
 Apparently the popular theory that the Natives. Indians and Eskimos. are fast dying off. is not sustained by fact Improved modes of living seem to be making for hardier races of Na- tivcs. That the reindeer industry. which has assumed an important maa nudr, has contributed to the bodily. a. well as material wolfor, Of u. I.skmos is readily to he believed

 Allowing for the drain made by the World war upon Alaska and the fail ure of many enlisted and drafted men to return after the armisticc-a fact emphasized in every analysis of census figures and taking into account, also, the exhaustion of placer mining fields and the Curtailment in the operation of quartz enterprises, due to adverse economic conditions resulting from the war, the decrease of 10000 in Alas ka's population is still unexplained. Causes other than those cited certain ly entered into the extraordinary cQua- tion.
 During the decade showing such a marked decline the government was constructing railroad and taking the first step toward opening the Terri tory at an expenditure of many mil lions. This in itself, in centering at tention upon Alaska. should have at tracted both capital and people and made for substantial growth and de yelopmcnt But it did not Clearly this is to be ascribcd to the failure. to put into effect with the building of the railroad broad policies of de- velopmeut, and, above all, to make lt easier for capital and people to get foothold in Alaska
 Capital and people are ever alert 10 grasp opportunities especially such natural opportunities as Alaska pre- scnta for investment and settlement. but where obstacles are encountered and vcxatious delays experienced. as has been proverbially the case under a bureaucratic administration of af- fairs of this Territory, capital and pco- pie turn to other fields of endeayor
 A changed and simplified system of government, with liberali2ed laws and regulations. is manifestly required. if Alaska would regain lost population and stimulate growth.
 The census figures of 1910 and 1920 constitute d powerful argument in favor of a new order of things in the interest of Alaska and the country as a whole
