ALASKA BOUGHT FOR FISH NOT GOLD
rshman Suggested Purchase of Territory

uas cited as a cause for Justifynk
the purchase OF the territory The
idea of a single man, with nothing
back OF it but his opinion OF the
value of the fishing banks, the mem
oriaI received more than its merited
attention.
After the purchase Mcdonald spent
several years in Alaska studying the
conditions there and Afterwards
went east In an unsuccessful ehorl
TO raise funds TO promote ms
schemes. He had spent some time
as reporter on Puget Sound papers
and while east he wrote book on
the wonders OF the northern terri
tory.
Later he came back to Puget SOUND
to work on his promotion schemes,
but failing to interest either local
capital or secure congressional ala,
he gave them up and went east.
That was the last Puget Sound ever

which also illustrates the feeling
between the rival towns along the
Sound az that time;
Joe Lane Mcdonald is about start
ing east, when he comes back he
wants to bring his Orient and Occi'
dent Railroad with him, and when
he does we will have a city that can
be seen by land aha water without
the aid of a balloon or county seat
either; and when these New Tacoma
ties see our seven miles of good
anchorage all filled with shipping
protected by heavy Notifications at
