hundred years ago. They do not expect to undergo the self denial and poverty that was acceptable by those of that other day, and they won't.
 Large accessions to the population of Alaska depend upon the develop ment of the natural resources of the country. The capital must come be- fore immigration in great numbers. Population will follow mining, fisher ies, pulp and paper, fur farming, wa ter power and other development.
 The population that Alaska now has came largely in the wake of mining and fishing development. The great est potential populating resource that we have in Southeastern Alaska is in our timber which has been proved to be specially adapted to pulp and pa per manufacture. It is estimated that Southeastern Alaska can produce from one million to a million and a half tons of paper annually and in perpe- tuity. That would give employment to 3O,OO0 to 45,000 men, which would mean an addition of several times that number to the population, markets for farmers, fishermen, craftsmen, manu- lecturers, business men and profes- sionals It would eventually mean a great American State.
 There are things that could be done to facilitate this development. The agricultural States were developed because the Government adopted a liberal attitude in the disposal of the
Seward daily gateway., 1923-06-21

lands. Development in Alaska will be
 facilitated by liberality in the dispo- sal of the natural resources. It should be made so that Alaskans may line up resources of timber and water pow CT, etc., and take them to the man with capital for development, as they can with their mining prospects. The Government should not depend upon its ownership of the resources for pro- fits from Alaska. Its profits will come with their development just as they came from the other States in which it never owned any of the resources or disposed of them without profit to it. This means, of course, that Alas ka will not grow as fast probably, as other sections grew, but il will grow

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALASKA
 AND OTHER FRONTIERS
(From Juneau Empire)

The people of Alaska should not eX- pect too much of them (the congress sional party,) and there should not be disappointment if the growth and the development of the Territory should be slower than we should like to have it. We sometimes expect too much from the Outside. We often think of the rapid growth of other and earlier frontiers and feel that hidden away some place there is an electric button of some sort that if touched would cause a new Alaska to spring forth full grown, like Minerva from the brain of Jehovah. But there is no such button.
 This is a different country than that found by those who crossed the noun tains into Kentucky and Tennessee, the old Northwest Territory and thru out the Mississippi valley and the Gulf states. And times have changed in the last century.
 A family could put its all in a wa gon and move into that earlier from tier and begin immediately to pro- duce their necessities and many did. They worked their way with a team of horses or oxen hitched to wagon, a COW or two, and little equipment. and lived off the country. They did without luxuries, dependent upon the future to reward them or their chil- dren for the hardships, privations and self denial that was their lot. Those were the days of large families and in a few years the family of two be- came a dozen or so. There was rap- i'd population gain, and capital follow ed the population to establish indus tries and to develop other resources than agriculture.
 It is different in Alaska. People cannot hitch span of horses to a wagon and move into this Territory And twentieth century Americans de mand more than did those pioneers ot
