like the rate at Fairbanks, Alaska, in
1!H2. that is to say, the Fairbanks
price was made by the expensive
freight haul fiom Seattle to Skagwa\
th* nee over tiie White Pass, down tin*
Yukon River and up the Tanana, while
the San Francisco selling p ire in 1S
1'J was based upon tin* long sailing
sJiip voyage from \ew York around
Rape Horn or the overland wagon trip
across the plains from St. Joseph, Mo.
Rut, from I S I!) up t » the good year
!!):*(). California as a whole has been
pelted and fostered and at no time
• iUiing its splendid caiver lias any rule
or regulation similar to those which
have blighted and held hack Alaska j
been applied to any citizen or group j
of citizens or corporation wiihin the.
bo: ndaries of the (Iold<*n State. If a
m: n found out that gold was discov
• ml in Tuolomne or |h*ad Man’s (Jul- |
i ll. that vellow metal was his. If he I
I
fo rid oil in C'oalinga, h<* dug for that j
ii without fear of arrest, trial and
;u nation. If he learned that the re* j
pi ilr.nt desert below the Colorado Itiv* ,
»r could he reclaimed by irrigation.'
he took un his 1(50 acres, made good
his claim, the government furnished
the water, and in a dozen years a ;
Highly clock from a gilded dome
eh med the hour of sunset, heard in a
town of 10,000 souls, located in a spot j
»n. * known only to the .scorpion, the <
«
»a tu> or the lizard.
But when it came time for Alaska
.<> be settled, the American pioneer,
(•presenting the type of men respon
sible for building up this country, was
treated as a criminal and the old land
laws of the United States, which had
done more than any other tiling in the
luouragement of settlers in the West,
became inactive or were disregarded
•
*r superseded. Today if a syndicate or
» i mipany desired to take up several
.iiousand acres for the purpose of de
er oping a mammoth industry, the red
tape obstacle* and regulations would
he such that discouragement would j
soon cause a cessation of any further :
attempt.
And so, these two secretaries can
not possibly improve the situation un
less they got to the root of the evil
which would ho to restore the lands to
entry under exactly the same rules
and regulations by which the rest of
the country was settled. Furthermore,!
by March 4th next, both these secre
taries, it is expected, will he out of
of lie? and what reports they may
make will be pigeonholed along with
the hundreds of other reports already
lying on the shelves in Washington
bureaus.
They will not return to Washington
until August and as the season in
Alaska will come to an end by the
time Congress assembles, it cannot be
expected that any action can be taken.
Hut would it not be a splendid thing
if Secretary Payne and Secretary
Daniels would jointly file with Con
gress an honest, manly, straight-for
ward report showing just what is the
matter with Alaska?
