• DR. COBB SAYS *
* ALASKA IS GREAT *
SEATTLE, Sept., 22— The coast
of Alaska has unexcelled possibilities
for harbor development said Dr. Coll
ier Cobb, head of the department of
Geology of the University of North
Carolina, upon his arrival here this
morning after an extensive coastal
study.
“The possibilities of Alaska are un
limited,” said the Professor, 11 and
there is no reason why the territory
should not become another Norway,
Sweden and Finland, all combined.
With its fishing, agricultural and min
eral resources there is also sufficient
timber to provide wood pulp indefin
itely. I found big stands of birch suit
able for furniture manufacture. Alas
ka's great need now is move settlers.”
