THE IMPORTANCE
OF ALASKA |
Demonstrated by Seattle
Chamber of Commerce
The following is taken frees the
record of the Alaska Bureau of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce and
is conclusive evidence of the In
creased interest in Alaska by the
people at large. The record in part
says:
Alaska Commerce With Seattle
August. 1915 Aug. 1914
To Alaska S1.72S.769 Sl.4Sl.675
, From Alaska S .504.506 1654.993
Total S5-23S.2T7 SS.286.6SS
I Increase to Alaska 17 er cent.
! Increase from Alaska 94 per cent.
Total increase 60 per cent.
Interest in Territory increases
Illustrating the increased interest
| In Alaska many articles now apnes-r
; ing in the newspapers and magazin
es throughout the country relate
to the northiand. Toe clipping serv
ice furnished the Bureau for a period
of two months has supplied 275
newspaper articles relating to Alas
ka. These articles cover forty dif
ferent subjects, those on the value
and production of Alaska leading
with a total of forty. Government
railroads was eighth in number of
articles. On the , remarkable pro
cress of Juneau there were only
•wo articles, showing that the pub
lic generally does not yet appreciate
the great development taking place
at Juneau sad what it means to the
mining world. Kow that interest Its
Alaska is aroused to such a degree
it is the purpose of the Bureau to
further this publicity in every pos
sible way. Special articles and
means of acomplishing this result
are cow being formulated.
Committee Is Gratified
The appreciation shown in the
work of the Alaska Bureau is most
gratifying to the members of tbe-com
mittee. During the last five month*
iSS newspaper articles and editor
ials pertaining to the activities and
work of the Bureau, an average of
43 a month, have appealed in news
papers. One hundred and fifty of
these articles are in papers publish
ed outside of Seattle, an average of
c-ne a day. Tim Executive Committee
is now at work on a program to cov
er at least two years’ activities.
The plan is of such a constructive
nature that gratifying results are
-expected to ensue in aid of Alaskan
development.
