CONSERVATION MINUS DEVELOP
MENT.
Upholding the Pinehot policies is ;
pulling railroads out of Alaska In-:
stead of putting railroads in, despite !
all hypocritical declarations that [
“Alaska must be developed.”
Alaska is getting development—;
with . the reverse English. The Mc
Alpine Coal company is an instance.
This property is near Homer, on
Cook’s inlet, was partly developed
years ago and connected with a term
inal at Homer by eight miles of rail
road. A large sum of money, said
to approximate $100,000, has been
spent to bring the property to a stage
where it might produce coal—the coal
Alaska needs, but which the territory
is forced to import at prices ruinous
to all industry.
Alter years oi toss ana enori me
McAlpine people have abandoned
hope. The railroad has been junked,
loaded on a steamship and is on the
way to Seattle. There will be no
coal mined on the McAlpine property,
and none shipped from Homer. If
any is used there or at Seldovia it
will be shipped in from beds in Wy
oming, Utah, Canada or Australia.
If a policy of conservation plus de
velopment were applied to Alaska, no
coal mine railroad would be sold for
junk because of government opposi
tion to coal mining within the terri
tory.
If a policy of conservation plus de- j
velopment were applied to Alaska the j
mines at Sulzer would not be using j
Wyoming coal this winter, the peo-1
pie of Katalla would not be keeping '
themselves worm with fuel from Utah,
Nome would not have imported a j
winter’s supply of coal from Austra- I
lia, nor would Fairbanks be experi
menting with fuel mined in a Cana
dian province.
If Alaska had been given a policy
of conservation plus development the
Alaska Northern would now be haul
ing coal to Seward for the United j
States navy: Bering river coal would;
be used on coastwise steamships in
stead of oil: that field would be fur ;
nishing coke to smelt ore at Cordova, |
which would be as big as Butte; the j
Copper River road would be sending !
ore and coal trains over its line daily
instead of once a week; the Seward
peninsula line would be in operation,
and the road at Homer would not have |
been sent to the junk heap.
But Alaska has been visited with a I
conservation minus development pol- j
icy, and the results are altogether dif- ;
ferent from what they might have
been. Pinchot policies have been up-|
held—at all cost.
The cost, how ever, has been too '
I
great. The waste and drain have been i
enormous. We have cheated our- j
selves; have robbed our own brothers j
and sisters, and have squandered our ,
own hard-earned money to keep idle
resources in perpetual idleness. It is
time to wake up.—Seattle Post-Intel-,
ligencer.
