TIMELY REMARKS
The action of tho Alaska Bur
• an of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce in taking the East
ern excursionists through Al 1
rska ,wi 11 have the tendency 'o
educate them in matters Ai- „
askan. Most of those promi- (
rent writers who will make the
trip, are wholly lacking in (
knowledge of the resources of
our Northland. Many have eo c
conception of the importance f
of our fisheries in particular.
As a matter of fact, few per
sons not actively engaged in
tho business have any idea o'
the extent and importance ol t
(he industry. To acquire a real [
knowledge of its extent, one \
would require a year’s time, j
.Nature of the industry is such, e
that many operations are con
ducted at points, in tpany in
stance*, for removed from any
center of population. This to- ]
gether with the fact that only
a small portion of the product
is consumed locally, accounts
for the lack of knowledge of p
the extent qf this industry.
The fisheries of this North- p
land are now considered to te j
the world’s most, important, t,
not only from the fact that a
their annual output excee is a
that of any other country, but f]
for the reason that its develop- p
ment is still in its infancy. The s
chief of the Alaska Division of n
the United States Fisheries, in u
o. recent statement made, point -0
cd out the fact that while more
than 200 varieties of fi*h could \
he found in commercial quan
tities in the waters of Alaska,
\ ol, less than ten varieties were
at the present time being ul>- c
lized. If the halibut branch ol /
the business is taken separately
it will be found that an enor- R
mous quantity of the species
is caught each year, amounting 1
to millions of dollars,
In looking over the possibil
ities of Alaska, it will never do
to forget that Alaska has pro- h
duced approximately $450.- J'
000,000 in aquatic and mineral a
products. Little better than e
three-fifths has ever been vi- p
sited by the white man. Very $
little has been mapped out. 1
Countless acres of proven min- \\
eral land are to be found all j
over forests and reserves ,and tk
as time goes on, more and t
more of that wealth will be 1
brought to the world. Alone 1
the lines of the proposed rail- j
roads, are many small qunri/ \
\!nes which are going worked t
with profit, notwithstanding 1
the exhorhitant freight charge1
now prevailing. Many other;
of lower grade which are idle ,
that with a supply of local fuel 1
and moderate transportation *
charges, will be worked lo ad- *
vantage, and will continue to i
do so far years lo come. Alas- ,
ka has already justified ilsel; •’
as the best land bargain in Ihe 1
history cd' the nation, and as
some have truly said, “Th'
lira of its greatest developmerd \
will date from the construction i
of its first trunk line railroad '
through Ihe interior and the
! opening of its coal fields.
