ALASKANS PARTLY TO BLAME

Whats the matter with Alaska?
 Aside from the dead hand of bureaucracy, the fault lies with Alaskans themselves. We'll prove it
 In 1880 the total value of imports to Alaska from the United States amounted to $31 ,3O3291.
 In 1930 the Territory shipped to the United States $57187,146.
 Here is where one of the faults with Alaska's growth is pointed out as plain the paper on the wall Nearly $2000,000 in meat products were shipped to Alaska from the States last year. business which could be carried on within the Territory just we'll Importatons of chickens alone up to the large figure of S15OOO0 Here few others, each and every one of which could be produced in Alaska dairy products, S1192514 imagine importing fish into Alaska from the States vet that is exactly what is being done, $15 last year, to be exact furs and manufactures toaled S111861 quarters of million dollars in grains; S127 503 in fodder and grain; the enormous sum of 948 in vegetables preserved fruts jams and jees, S65 225: wood manufactures $1,159483 This figure ln- cudes all sorts of uber cooperage boxes doors sasn es and furniture Printed matter amounting to S3l6|o9 was purchased Outside and 3315O tons of Outside coal totalng $342,320 -,
 The above listing are just the ma jor items which could just as we'll be produced in Alaska there are many more In each of these, opportunity lies. Busi- ness opportunities, development of the Territory and n crease in population The Gateway has many times m the past pointed out that the trouble with Alaska IS AL askans that Alaskans must build from Wtln not from without.
 We are prone to be sorry for ourselves, blaming everyone for everything for lack of progress and population when, as matter of fact, the entire problem is within our own hands.

LARGE PROPORTION 0F J. $. 0|L PRODUCTION
 GUT 0FF BY TWO MEN

kILGORE, Texas, Aug. 20. (P)- Approximately two-fifths of the crude oil production of the United States had been cut off by the spectacular action of two men, Governors w. H. Murray of Okla homa and Ross E. Sterling of Texas.
 The shutdown of the East Texas field, largest in the country, was completed under martial law, stemming the rush of petroleum that overwhelmed the industry and drove prices to the lowest level in d-continent history
 Flush wells of Oklahoma, closed two weeks ago by Governor Mur- ray, remained under martial law and the Oklahoma executive in- timated that the shutdown would last until prices were restored.

LINDBERGH IS WRONG

An Associated Press dispatch published couple of days ago was in effect that Col. Charles A. Llndbergh fayors the route just flown by Mrs. Lndbergh and him. self, world air-mail and passenger route He sees no reason why regular routes should not be established in the near future not only it practicable but bene ficent factor in the lives of the population of those areas.
 Other renowned aviators from the States, and off, cials have made similar announcements and predictions
 In the face of these opinions, The Gateway takes issuc passing objections on the statements of Alas kan &vators who seldom called into consultation on this proposed world armai and passenger route. To
 man, almost, Alaskan aviators favor route back of the coast range which would make the coast towns or Fairbanks the northern pivot point, thence East West but not into the Arctic Point Barrow to be exact
 There are few enough populated centers along the coast and Interior without going beyond the Arctic Cir cle, where shorter and weather conditions are far than below the Circle Aside from Nome, the Lindberghs practically missed Alaska and fortunate for Alaska avation bad weather conditions held them several points while in the Arctic It is doubtful if Col onel Lndbergh will put his stamp of approval and final approval such globe-encrcling air route until he flies the coastal and Interior routes.
 The time saved by flying the top of the world would be lost awaiting favorable climatic conditions.
