FRIDAY. JAN. 21.1921
PRESENT AND FUTURE NEEDS
OF ALASKA.
The following article clipped from
the Sunset Myg***"* is a timely ana
interesting digest on a subject of vital
interest to all real Alaskans. The Sui.
get Magazine is a typical western mag
fliul the men affiliated with it
know the things that the West and
Alaska need.
AfaaiTtt has been the stepchild of the
nation. It has given gold, copper, cod^
halibut, seal and salmon with a lavish
hand, but until the construction of the
Alaskan railroad it received nothing
in return. Containing immense depos
its of high-grade coal Alaska was yel
compelled to import its fuel from
Washington and Australia because
the Federal Government fearing a re
petion of the process through which
the nation lost its timber and miners
wealth kept all of Alaska’s publicity
weauth kept all of Alaska’s publicly
owned natural resources under loch
and key for fourteen years. This lock
ing up held back Alaska's development
it was bitterly and justly resented bj
the Alaskans, yet it accomplished iU
purpose. Alaska resources today art
impaired, unmonopolised and avail
able for wise, farsighted development
Take the Pribiloff Island seal heard
for ins tance. Unregulated and unsupei
vised, this heard dwindled from two
million head to barely a hundred thou;
aid in thirty years. For five years il
has been locked up, now it exceed,
two hundred thousand and is still 01
the increase. Salmon, on the contrary
administered loosely and what Alas
kans would call liberally, is threatens
to jun the buffalo and the passenger
pig"**n unlec i early and drastic meas
it res *re taxon a regulate fishing am
to increase the number of hatcheries
The next eungnss will again havi
before it the Cuny bill creating ai
Alaskan development board to have
complete chaige of Alaskan resour
ces. Nobody in the Far West wants
t> bold back Alaskan growth; every
bod> realizes that the division of au
thority among twenty different, bu
reaus of five or six governmental de
partments whose busy heads are rive
thousand miles from Alaska is not
the proper system of administration,
yet it is questionable whether the pro
visions of the Curry bill limiting tht
membership on the board to actual
residents of Alaska is entirely vise
and justified.
Local men are prone to forget the
future and act only on present needs
The millions of pens of unproductivi
barren Aurap lands roum^the Great
Lakes in the South and in the Grea,
West are eloquent witnesses to the fol
ly of blind local interest that sacrifices
the wealth of the next generation foi
today’s profits. Alaska must and shali
have a resident board, but two trf five
of the members should be selected
from residents of the States proper
that the future may be safeguarded.

ent of the Pure Food cannery at Ket
