DELUGE OF INQUIRIES
ABOUT ALASKA
More than 300 inquiries from
people in the States came into
the Anchorage headquarters of
fice of the Alaska Railroad in
one mail last week, asking about
opportunities for settling or find
ing work in Alaska. Almost* as
many came in th; mail a week
later.
Over 60 similar letters came to
Fairbanks Chamber of Com
merce in Sunday's mail, and an
other large batch was received
the week before.
These inquiries come largely,
no doubt, as the result of rosy
writeups about Alaska appearing
in outside newspapers and maga
zines about Alaska as a land of
opportunity.
The December number of Cos
mopolitan contains one of such
articles, by Herbert H. Hillshire.
Not long ago a series of similar
articles, featured on the front
pages of Christian Science Moni
tor, and written by Royal Arch
Gunnison, told of the resources
and advantages and opportunit
ies in Alaska. Able writers these,
and both took pains to travel
throughout the country and inter
view many people and their trib
ute is to Alaska.
With all credit to the writers
of these articles and others of
less prominence, their articles
deal chiefly with the optimistic
side and cite outstanding instanc
es of success. Little if anything
is s^d of the many people who
came North without means and
had to seek refuge in CCC camps
or go on relief, as many have
dona recently in Juneau and otb
! er Alaskan coast towns.
Little if any space is devoted
by any outside writers in stress
ing the fact that newscomers to
Alaska should have sufficient
means to establish themselves as
prospectors, or otherwise—and
not expect that Alaska is await
ing with open arms to receive
the pennil ss & has no funds for
maintenance of that class; little
attention is given the fact the
normal demands for skilled and
srmi-skilled labor is met by the
men who live in the country or
have over a term of’ years come
North at seasonal periods for
such limited time as their ser
vices are needed.
True Alaska needs a popula
tion to expand to stature, and if
will come in time, but only by
the seasonal process of gradual
evolution and absorption of a
class fitted for her purposes.
Alaska will continue to grow'—
and eventually will have a large
population similar to northern
European countries. But she can
not absorb a horde of destitute
and misfits. This is said for the
benefit of those who may rush
thoughtlessly into the country, to
arrive here with nothing in their
pockets—and for the protection
of Alaskans w'ho have no means
to care for any such once they
come.
To correct wrong impressions
among the multitude of Ameri
cans, gathered from broadcast
tales that picture the realm as a
Northland Eden, is a big order.
First reports going out in any
announcement carry a zest and
appeal that always is hard to con
| Wings on high, brings Christmas Cheer,
♦ Happy thoughts, throughout the year.

plete contradictory coverage of
any false alarm or report oi

Yet there is much that can be
done to put Alaska’s case hon
estly and squarely before the
world. Doubtless Alaska is in
jfor a great forward stride—and
| the country will witness an in
flux and development not unlike
I that which characterized the oc
cupancy of the Far West and the
Pacific slope a generation or
more ago.
| But Alaska can do herself a
; great service by issuing official
. warnings—sending out through
her chambers of commerce, her
government agencies and all au
thoritative channels the true
| story of conditions—the gist of
which is that Alaska does not
i need and cannot absorb a mass
i of jobseekers and mere opportun
j ists—and that those who come
must come prepared to finance
themselves until they are en
trenched as productive and self
sustaining.
