ANOTHER YEAR
OF PROGRESS
One hears on all sides the stor
ies of the miners and operators
on Seward Peninsula, of another
bumper year in the production
of gold.
New gold fields are being open
ed up: old diggings of years ago
which were not profitable under
the former price of gold, have
been developed and are now
turning in their volume toward
the ever-increasing production of
this precious mineral.
Nome, as the distributing cen
ter for the Seward Peninsula, i
has reaped well. But it should
not forget its obligation to the
many centers from which this
stream of gold is pouring into
the private and public coffers.
Common sense and a practical |
pibgram of development of our |
, resources require the attention of
• citizens in Nome, Their efforts
-Jn-ave materialized in the construe
tion of roads, airfields, and oth
er aids to transportation and pro
Auction. Continually striving to
ward the development of this sec
tion is a duty of every civic
minded person, and partisan and
private privileges should not en
ter.
At the same time, those who
seek the construction and devel
opment of transportation and the
correlated industries, owe a duty
to each other. Divided in their
aims they will attain little pro
gress. United and in harmony
with organizations devoted to
such development they stand to
reap their juit returns. Take all
and leave nothing is a poor prin
| ciple. Both the public and our
; Territory are deserving of con
sideration. Plan for organized de
velopment.
EUROPEAN WAR & ALASKA
The outbreak three weeks ago
of another major conflict in Eu
rope has again brought home to
Alaska the irreparable damage j
suffered in the World War more j
than twenty years ago.
At that time Alaska was com j
mencing on a period of system- i
atic development and explor
j ation of minerals. The advent of
I the World War brought high pric
; es in the mining industry as well!
I as in all commercial industries.j
Alaska suffered by being retard
1 ed for nearly fifteen years
Great care should be taken to j
t provide against a recurrence of
such hindrance to the deserved- j
development of our Territory. Ex 1
ploitation in the matter of prices j
in supplies and various machin-1
ery industries should be prevent-!
j ed.
The prosperity and destiny of.
this Territory are important and J
the fact that the United States'
government is making every ef
fort to remain free from the dire:
ful entanglements of another j
war, should be taken into consid- j
eration by those who are interest I
ed in Alaska.
War prices, whether Uncle |
Sam remains neutral or not, are
devastating to this Territory.
Cost of the major mining and
fishing industries of Alaska are
sufficiently high at the present
j time. So long as prices and the
j cost of living continue to mount
■
t I
in Alaska; so long will Alaska be|
j without a stable, year-around |
population. Protection of our nat1
I ural resources and industries,1
and of our principles of govern
ment should be the first consid
eration of our people. They will
not hastily go to war and endow
! to themselves and future genera
tions, the terrible toll of another
war.
