LAND DEMANDS GROWS,
 PARKS REVEALS

Increasing demand for Alaskan homesites indicates definite trend toward agricultural pur- suits in the Territory, it was re- vealed recently by George A. Parks, formerly governor of AL aska. now district cadastral engi- neer for the territory.
 MT. Parks passed through Ket- chikan aboard the Princess Louise on his way to Denver to visit his parents for the holidays. He plans to return to Juneau shortly after the first of the year, accord ing to a recent issue of the Ket- chikan Chronicle.
 For instance. this year all the homesites close in around Fair banks had been taken up, so we surveyed 15,0OO acres of agricul- tural land in the Gold Stream valley. Indications are that there will be a demand for this tract next season." the former gover- nor said.
 Sees Future in Alaska MT. Parks said that the interest in Alaskan farm land proves for itself that there is future in Alaskan agriculture.
 Surveying, he said, goes on as rapidly as there is demand for land. "We try to keep about even with the demand" he said. That accounts for the survey of this large tract around Fairbanks. That gives us a surplus for that district. However, demand may be from any accessible district in the Territory.
 ''This summer we surveyed number of 16O-acre tracts along the Panama, the Yukon and the Kuskokwim rivers. These were all requested tracts. We make survey where anyone wants homesite."
 The former governor indicated that he expected a greater de- mand next year, as one settler attracts another. He spent the time while the ship was here by going ashore to greet a number of former friends.
