 Alaska grows all agricultural products except corn. cotton, beans' mellons and fruit. Millions of acres are adapted for grazing. and Alas kan meat and dairy products soon will be shipped to the markets Of the world.
 Alaska takes about $1s3,5oo "oc'' year in taxes and licenses; and spends about s6S0.3O0 each year The Alaskan fund in the federal treasury makes up the difference. There are fifteen territorial and three national banks doing business in the territory. Combined depos its are between five and six million dollars.
 Wages in Alaska are from S4 to | $6 day: in the coal mines SS.60 day. The wages for the year am ount to about s5.sOo,Ooo. Here are the high spots in the , conclusions of the late President Harding:
 "Alaska is destined for ultimate statehood
 "The wonder is that Alaska's gold production has fallen so little Production will be restored when the world resumes normal bal ance.
 :" The same may be said about Alaska's copper production,
 "Alaskas trouble flows from the
 same general causes which make trouble everywhere.
 "The fisheries production is more than double the value of all metals and minerals in the territory. Alaska welcomes the govern ment's restrictive policy in regard to forests.
 We must do what is necessary to develop the oil resources in the ter ritory.
 We must encourage agriculture and home building"
 The most significant conclusions words
 There has been much misunder- standing, no Nttle misrepresenta- tion and some disposition to hysteria at times, about Alaska. It has long since passed beyond the wild west mining camp stage, and is as sober ed. settled. normal a country as would be found anywhere. Mine is pride and faith in Alaska
