BUT ONE MOTE
 IN ALASKA'S EYE
According to Nenana Paper Only Cheaper Transportation Is
 Needed to Boom Alaska

The following is from Che Ncuana News:
 When one reads of Che many oil permits Chat have been granted to Aloskans. Of thc plans Chat are be- ing made for the establishment of large pulp and paper mills ou Che edge Of Alaska forests. of Che activ- ity in coal mining wherever coal is available conveniently and in quan- uty. of Che revival Of tho fishing in- dusry along Che Alaska coast. of Che promise of early development of ore bodies located within tho last yoar and Of increased activity among Che owners of placer deposits in var- ious sections of Che Territory when ono reads of these things one is in- cline Co wonder if it Is really true as has bon proclaimed by seli-ap- pointed spokosmcu for Alaska. that Che Northern country is going to Che dogs because Of Che adoption of @ policy of conservation by Che federal government during Che Roosevelt ad- mInIs,rauon. "Thore win be no de yolonment" they shout "unul Che. resources of this Territory are m-| locked" And even as they shout new development is taking lorm along solid, permanent lines
 "Too much red tape and too many federal burcaus.' is another cry and Alaskans are ready Go admit chat thore is and there are. It is incon- ycuieut and very often cNasperatng trying Go do business with bureau up- starts thousands of miles away and overlapping authority is constant source of annoyance Go Northcruow But The News has not yet heard of any one quitting Alaska on chat ac- count and it is not matter of rcc- ord Chat Che burolucrats are inter- fer.nr to any great extent with mil grafton Co Noska. lf people and cape ial have been frightened away it ia. tho pen picturing Of conditions Chat has done it rather Chan Che condi- Ions themselves.
 .." .....N" .''N.N '.. not Iutcricrcd iu the least with Che copper operations of Che Guggen- lcIms In Alaska; with Che gold quartz operations Of Che rroadwells with Che exploitation Of tho shallow Dlacors Of Seward Peninsula and Che deeper diggings Of tho interior camps
 and not oven with Che ruthless at- tachs on tho Alaska fisheries. which are being rapidly depleted because Of too utle conservation rather chan too much.
 Tho News does not believe the| federal government can speed Che development of Alaska by fooliug with existing methods Of admins.
 radon Centralized and sImpliled administration win help. mo doubt but first of an Alaska must have lowered transportation costs. That In Che opinion of The News. is thcI key to tho whole Alaska situation.
