yI1ClN' OcCIcCdIy OF the navy
" Daniels and other government
officials visited Alaska to in
vestigate coal deposits there and look
into possibilities of developing them
to supply U. S. naval vessels in Pacific
Xwaters, Secretary Payne of the inter-
Tor department joined them in order
to obtain frst-hand knowledge of the
territory over which he then presided
as "viceroy," to use his own droll way
of expressing it. The party visited
Ketchijan, center of the fishing and
numbering industries; Juneau, capital
and mining center; Seward, sea termi-
nus of the new government railroad ;
Anchorage, an important town on the
railroad, and the coal fields in the
Matanuska region.
Alaska is not such land of ice and
snow as the average American
imagines it, declared Payne. To be
sure the winters are long and severe
and the glacial fields are extensive;
yet the summers, during which the
sun hardly takes time to set, are in
tensive. The soil is deep and fertile,
producing all essential food materials
except salt, sugar and coffee-if the
latter be counted an essential.
It has been demonstrated that ex-
cellent sugar beets can be grown there,
so if they wish the Alaskans can pro-
duce their own sugar. When they
get round to it they doubtless can OBJ
tain salt, too, about as readily as it is
obtained in the States. There are
millions of acres of rich farming land,
all still belonging to the public
domain.
AS is we'll known the government
a few years ago undertook the con-
struction of railroad, $40 miles in
length, running from Seward to Fair
banks, in the heart of the territory,
with branch extending to the coal
fields. So far about 460 miles of the
road have been completed. This rail-
road is destined to be an important
factor in the development of Alaska,
providing transportation for its pro-
ducts and for imports of needed sup
plies as we'll as facilitating the immi-
grafton of settlers. Secrtary Payne
was pleased with the progress that
had been made on this improvement
and with the substantial character of
the construction.
At Matanuska a 16-foot vein OF
coal, equal in quality to West Vir-
ginia "Pocahontas" coal, has been de-
veloped, 60O-foot shaft having been
sunk on five levels. This, Mr.. Payne
said, can be used to supply the Pacific
fleet in the future. There are veins
of Ignite 80 feet thick, as well as
other important bituminous deposits.
Anthracite beds are also known to
exist but these as yet are undeveloped.
The government proposes to en-
courage coal production for naval
purposes and private concerns are
eager for leases. Oil was discovere |
in the southern and southwestern
parts of the territory short time ago.
Already, reports say, several thou
sand acres have been filed on by oil
prospectors.

water, Minnesota, Thursday, October 20, 1921.

In Mr.. Payne's opinion Alaska is
valuable national asset. A great many
Americans thought Secretary Seward
had BEEN gold -bricked when he bought
the territory from Russia for 81 7,20O,-
900 in 1867. But the purchase price
has been repaid many fold-so far
products worth in the aggregate
more than $95O,000,O00 have been
obtained there and the development
of the resources has barely started.
1t should furnish opportunities for
the profitable employment of both
capital and labor, the founding of in
dustries, the building of homes and
the support in comfort and prosperity
of large population.
Before these things can come about,
moreover, Mr.. Payne tells us that
several problems will have to be
solved. The most pressing of these
problems is that of shipping. The
ships now available lack. carrying
capacity to meet the needs of the ter
ritory, and the rates for both passen
gers and freight are too high-the
fare fromSeattle to Alaska is $40 or
SIS. Steps have already been taken
to improve and increase shipping
facilities and cut down transportation
rates in order to stimulate immigra-
ton and promote commerce and trade
between the territory and the States.
Improvement of the postal service has
also been undertaken and transporta-
ton rates on the railroad have been
cut.
There is great need of capital and
enterprise for the establishment of
permanent industries that will utilize
raw materials, furnish profitable en-
ployment for citizens of the territory
and at the same time contribute to the
prosperity Of the States. For instance,
millions and millions of acres of pub
lie lands are covered with timber
which, converted into pulp, would be
of vast help in relieving our paper
shortage. Water power is abundant
for the operation of pulp and other
industries, to- say nothing of the coal
and oil resources.
The only industry that has really
been developed is the fisheries and
that has been somewhat overdone. In
1918 products of the fisheries, the
greatest single source of income OF
the territory, totaled about $6O,OOO,-
900. This can be continued in
definitely if proper conservation mea-
sures are adopted. The mineral out
put is considerable, amounting to $780,
100000 in 1919. This record, how
ever, can hardly be maintained as
prices that year were unusually high,
due to war conditions.
So far as scenic beauties and attrac-
tions for tourists are concerned, Mr..
Payne considers Alaska superior even
to Switzerland. Mountains, per-
petually covered with snow, are far
more numerous than those of Switzer-
land, and the Alaskan glaciers are in
comparably superior to those of Swift
zerland in extent. Summer trips to
Alaska, he thinks, should become
popular with Americans, and tourist
traffic should become an important
source of local income.
With a white population now of
only about $4,000, Alaska is land

of opportunity for the young man
starting out in life, provided that he
possesses a pioneering spirit and is
willing to work hard to carve farm
stead out of the wilderness or to help
in developing commerce or mining or
some other business.
Most Americans are in the habit
of thinking of Alaska as of insignih-
cant area, but the National Geogra-
phic Society reminds us it is as large
as Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Missouri put together,
with sizable bits of Arkansas, Nebras-
ka and the two Dakotas added on.
To most people it is visualized as a
land of perpetual ice. In point of
fact the Alaskan climate is fairly di-
versifed, and along the coast there
are slight extremes of cold and heat.
In the interior there is less rainfall
and the long Arctic day produces a
very dry and warm climate.
Everywhere except in the extreme
north the vegetation is luxuriant and
its growth rapid. Fruits, vegetables
and grazing grasses flourish. 1t is
located no less advantageously than
the Scandinavian peninsula, and COM
prises an area almost twice as great.
Yet Scandinavia supports a popula-
ton of 100000. The three great
sources of Alaskan wealth are min
erals, fisheries and furs. In recent
gears Alaska has attracted attention
as producer of meat for expectation
to the States. This meat is derived
from the great reindeer herds, which
now number about 100000 animals
the multiplication of 1880 rein
deer imported into Alaska by this
country 28 years ago.
The Alaskans are ALMOST as proud
of their territory as the Californians
are of their state. A dispatch from
Anchorage, Alaska, which told of the
opening, of the railroad bridge over
the Susitna river, said that this
bridge, which is 504 feet long, is "the
second longest single-span bridge in
the world" Then the enthusiastic
correspondent dropped the statement
that the bridge was constructed "in
temperature averaging 40 degrees be-
low Zero" Probably this was stretch
ing the temperature little, if not the
bridge.
Alaskans protest that they do not
all have to be cast into a fiery furnace
in order to get thoroughly VAIN for
once, like the man in the poem. How
ever-other things being anywhere
near equal-it seems foolish tor pco-
pie to 60 away off and locate in parts
of the world where the climatic con-
ditions must be unfavorable, when
there is so much territory left unde-
veloped in more temperate regions
and within a stones throw of good
markets. So we would not advise
readers to settle in Alaska, unless they
know the difficulties as we'll as the
advantages and unless they have
enough capital to keep them going
till they can get established.

ASTRAL THUMB
Selected

He recent announcement by DIR.
P. S. Haley, of San Francisco,
that he has photographed. the
etheric double of mans thumb,
which had been cut off at the joint,
has aroused an interesting scientific
discussion.
Scientists say Doctor Haley's ex-
pertinent raises the question of wheth-
er man possesses within himself DOR
mant energy to reproduce parts of
himself, such as an arm or leg, when
he loses them.
Doctor Haley does not profess that
his experiment proves such theory,
but declares that he believes he has
provided the basis for far-reaching
biological research.
Likewise he insists his experiment
in no wise is of "spiritualistic" ma
ture.
my own contribution is simply to
show by photography that crystaliza-
tionNof energy exists. Scientists may
60 much further and possibly in time
demonstrate that such crystallization
of energy may be made permanent IL
stead of momentary, such as my
photographs show" Doctor Haley
said s.,~-..-s..-
Likewise it may prove that
ghosts are not supernatural, but sim.
ply natural and material compound
of externalized energy. 1t is certain
that some animals see things not visi-
bic to human eyes. Likewise certain
persons are psychically sensitive to
things which others are not. There
is great field for investigation opened
by my experiment.
Doctor Haley's subject in his inter-
esting test was woodworkcr who
had lost his thumb. The woodworker
believed himself conscious to pain
when a pin was inserted where the
thumb once was. For the experiment
the stump was placed on highly SEN
sitized paper in Photographic solu-
ton. Four impressions were taken
ranging in time from one-half to
minute and half.
'"My theory is that the etheric dou-
bic remains attached to the member,
and, under influence of will power
and with the aid of other factors pos
sibly not understood, the body err ~
radiates from the point where the
stump is, filling in the etheric double,
said Doctor Haley, illustrating with
one of the photographs.
"In such an event as the photo
graphs show the etheric double acts as
a blue print, continued the doctor.
DECENTRALIZATION of energy is a fact
that has been known for years and
which fact l took into consideration
in my work.
"This sort of work may throw light
on many of the biological problems,
such as heredity, and should have an
application on medicine. The expert
ment is not exactly along my line of
work, and it is my intention to turn
what facts l have over to the Univer-
sity of California or the California
Academy of Science for page 8, Col.s)
