It is a noticeable fact that
among all the countless journalis
tic references to Alaska one sel
dom discovers an article contain
ing more than the slightest allus
sion to Nome or the Seward pen
insula section. Even in the more
extensive articles dealing with tin
territory it is hard to find othe
than casual intimations that such
a place as Nome is on the map.
Columns are devoted to descrip
tions of the resources and possi
bilities of the southeastern sec
tions and tile principal points o:
productivity are the theme o
numerous dissertations, great an
small. Even the various com
munities, important or otherwise
come in for some share of atten
tion and description. Juneau
Valdez, Cordova, Seward and also
Fairbanks and other towns of tlu
interior, are the subjects of con
stant reference but one seldon
comes across an article in which
Nome is even mentioned. Th
wealth production, the industria
features, the commerce and every
other important adjunct of the
sections south of the Yukon are
duly and generously exploited by
outside publications but you ma\
s. arch until you are weary of th -
task before you can discover that
Seward peninsula is more tha.
a fieri a incognita “somewhere u
north” or that Nome is othe
than a far away, desolate forbid
den spot where an occasiona
steamer reluctantly stops to leave
a bunch of desperate and hard'
gold seekers for a few month
durmg the summer season. Ii
fact it is almost a hopeless task
;u attempt to find an article in
which Nome is described as othei
• hai ; mere stopping place for
steamboats, a port of pa-sage, a
\, i:e. indeterminate place some
where in the chilly frigid zone on
the ‘bores of the Polar seas.
A'd i his in spite of the fact
Nome and the section of
territeiy immediately adjacent
thereto, although, comparatively
a very 9mall portion of Alaska
has been, and is today, one of the
most -mportant productive dis
tricts of the entire territory. A
dance at the reports of the Uni
ited States customs service will
disclose that the Seward penin
u!u section of Alaska produces
annually one fifth of the tota’
mineral product of the territory
in addition to the large revenues
derived from furs and fisheries
products, and also that Nome
i ranks fifth among all the Alaska
I cities in the matter of imports
I from the United States. However,
you would never guess it ftum a
i perusal of the hundreds of arti
j cles professing to tell all about
1 Alaska which find the>r way into
j the outside journals. To all ap
; pearances the Nome section is no
1 a part of Alaska except in tlm
I degree that the rest of the terri
I torv takes credit for what it pro
duces. Indeed, a southeastern
Alaska journal openly savs: ‘‘Ttn
Nome country is to Alaska what
Iceland is to the United State-.
. —just the same comparaiivelx
-peaking.” While this compari
son may be a trifle overdrawn
I there is little doubt that some
! idea of this nature is the prevail
tig one outside. It is to be
! loubted, however, that this is tin
true reason for the almost com
olete absence of reference to the
Nome district in the outside jour
nalistic utterances The actual
reason probably lies largely in
lie fact that the people of this
ection have taken no pains to
j -all attention to the value of the
istrict as a wealth producing
rea. While the various com
I minities of the southeastern sec
'on have been busy advertising
! hemselves and the resources
hich lay behind them, the peo
j e of Seward peninsula have
j een content to pursue their de
: ions ways "tterly regardless of
lie value of a little energy ex
ended in this direction.
About the only thing in the
Ivertising line accomplished bv
lie citizens of Nome has been the
ending outside of numerous post
•ards depicting scenes of truly
Vrctic character, such as ice
uimniocks, cabins buried under
-caps of drifted snow, or of the
’tuous sender himself clad from
ead to foot in an assortment of
ur garments, none of which he
ad ever worn outside of the
iiotograph gallery. This has
een the limit in advertising the
•m* character of Seward penin
ulta and has doubtless been re
)onsiblc for many an erroneous
j lea concerning this section of
: he north.
\\ bile we have been busy show
ig things at their worst, the
ther sections have been indus
iously proclaiming their best
'■ares while keeping their defi-,
iencies in the background. The!
esult is that they are known for
vhat they are and have and we
re not known at all. If we
lad taken pains to tell the world
he truth about ourselves, instead
j if proclaiming Seward peninsuli

HOW THE WASATCH
MOUNTAINS WERE MADE
In the Overland Route Guide
book recently published by the
United States geological survey,
the history of the formation of
the Wasatch mountain range,
which overlooks Salt Lake City,
s graphically told. Long before
there were any mountains in this
tegion most of the rocks in the
Wasatch range were laid down as
and and mud on the bottom of
the ancient sea, where they be
came compacted .and hardened
nto sandstone, shale and lime
tone. The sea bottom eventual
y became land. As mother earth
las aged her skin has cracked and
wrinkled. In the Utah-X'evada
egion many long cracks were
formed and the rocks on one side
or the other were moved slowly
upward or downward, forming
long ridges along the cracks,
'teep on one side and gently slop
ing on the other. Such breaks in
the earth’s crust are called faults.
A fault may be a few feet or hun
dreds of miles long, and the dis
tance which the rock beds on one
side slip past those on the other
may range from a fraction of an
nch to thousands of feet. When
he rocks on one side are shoved
■ip over those cn the other side,
the break is called a reverse or
overthrust fault.
