NOME, ALASKA, JUNE 29, 191ti.
In promulgating and s curing the pas
sage ot the homestead bill, Delegate
wtcKersham has accomplished one of
tin* best things of his career as repre
sentative ol the people of Alaska.
this meusure is directed to enabling
those who have already einpk«yed their
homestead rights in the states to lake
up homesteads in Alaska regardless of
previous entries. In addition it provides
t»ii a curtailment ot the acreage which
may hr homesteaded so that homestead
entries ot the future shall comprise no
more than one hundred and sixty acres,
i onsid« n d in its relation to tile good
and welfare of the territory, the meas
ure is especially commendable in that it
w ill enable hundreds who have prev
iously been exempted from taking up
government land in Ataska owing to
previous entries in the United States
proper, to secure that which will be not
only a nome but will also thoroughly
identity them with the land—make them
not merely residents but bona tide Al
askans. v.’huse homes, tnoughts and en
deavors are tixed in this territory and
to whom its development and prosper
ity will tie of primary importance. Need
Jess to say, this is what the territory
needs probably more than anything else
- men and women whose every interest
shall he tixed in the soil and whose
principal business will be to make the
land yield all that its broad acres will
produce.
Alaska already possesses, in a small
degree, u population of- tiiis character,
peoph w ho have tixed tneir homes here
with the intention of staying out their
days, unless visited ny some great and
Uhexp'-et<>d measure ot good fortune,
and whose every aim and business is
• onneeted w ith the future welfare ol
the territory Hut, by far the larger
pul lion ol the people are those W ho
have no int'-tcsl in the land, its growth,
prsoperity or productiveness, whose con
cerning i* purely transient and directed
. > securing all that is possible within a
short period oi time, wnth tlie intention
oi immediate departure, when the store
t#I accumulated treasurers large enough,
the animating influence of every effort.
it is true that this class of people
haw* served a very useful purpose in
tin- past, have performed a most use
1 nl service in opening and assisting in
• development of the territory during
the t aider periods of exploitation but
i tie time lias now arrived when Alaska
• in best develop and achieve its fullest
measure of prosperity through the ef
forts oi those who are Hmly identified
with the country—those who not only
• all but also look upon the country its
home and who take a personal pride
in helping it to become great and fruit
ful. It is this class that the Wicker
sham measure will draw, to whom it
will appeal. Now that the great agri
cultural possibilities of the territory are
becoming better known it will probably
tittmet *Ui /Alaska hundreds, perhaps
.thousands, who have hitherto refrained!
ironri corning because of the knowledge !
that they could acquire no land save
by purchase. It is nardly to be doubted
that the law will add hundreds of fam
ilies to the population within a few
years, resutl In the establishment of
i
many homes and build up a population
ot iceiiulite Alaskans whose lives and
i II lercals will be almost indlwsotuablv
identified with the territory and its fu
ture. The law is nne and will be pro
ductive ot more Rood to the territory
than any measure yet devised for its
benefit, with the one possible exception
ot the railroad bill.
