GIVE US A CHANCE
Alaska is not being given a fair chance to develop. By
that, we do not refer particularly to the manner in which
the development of the territory has been rough-locked
by the red tape of scattered bureau administration. Nor
is it our desire to burden Washington with our troubles
at a time when the nation is engrossed with more serious
problems. We merely mention the fact that Alaska is
getting the worst of it by way of directing attention to
the possibilities of development in this country.
We boast of the fact that, in a single month last year,
our exports totaled more than twenty million dollars, and
that the value of our productions, since 18(>7, exceed seven
hundred millions. And yet development honestly may be
said to be standing still. We ar6e not receiving the bene
lits from this wonderful production. As Manager McPher
son. of the Alaska Bureau, Seattle Chamber of Commerce
Club, recently expressed it. “a country that can produce
and ship to the outer world products in one month of a
value far greater than all of Seattle's industries, is cap
able of a great and prosperous development and of sup
porting a large population." The rich resources of Alas
ka. he points out. are being “creamed." while nothing is
being done toward replenishing or assuring a continua
tion of the rich outflow. The intensive development that
should be encouraged and fostered, especially at this
time of great production, is lacking, with the result that
Alaska is not building up with the industries and perman
ent population essential to the prosperity and rational
development of the Northland.
One of our troubles is that we do altogether too much
exporting of raw materials. The copper that we mine,in
Alaska, for instance, should be smelted in Alaska, instead

keynote of a Jazz entertainment is
novelty and to achieve this end the

raffles, refrshments, fortune telling,
hand holding and all of the various

amuse the outermost corner of the

rious forms, and it’s a cinch that any
one wht^spends a quarter to get into
the big show will be pleased and the
best part is that each and every one
who pays a quarter to gain admission
to the Hall will not only get their
money back but will receive in addi

Natural Resources
of being shipped in a raw state to Tacoma and other out
side cities, our white spruce timber, for which thewai
has created a very great demand, should be manufactur
ed into aeroplanes right here in Alaska; there should be i
wood pulp and paper mills along the coast of Alaska,
turning the overflow timber of our forest reservations |
to good account; our fishing industry should be wholly:
Alaskan, with Alaskan employees and the Alaskan label
on every can and case; and Alaskan furs, of which we
have produced more than seventy-five million dollars’
worth, should be prepared for use here in the territory,
with higher prices for trappers and lower prices for those!
who buy.
Wesend altogether too much money out of the
country. We are making the transportation companies
rich and fostering outside industries which should be in
Alaska. We must keep some of this money in the terri
tory. We must stop the yearly drain, or Alaska will
never be developed. — (Nenana News.)
