“Coming to Alaska with intentions
of staying only two weeks, but liking'
the country so well that I have re-'
mained over three months in the Ter
ritory instead, 1 think speaks rather
well for my opinion of this country.”
said Abe Epp, who hasi newspaper and
agricultural interests in central Kan
sas.
FI
at
“I am glad that I did not content
myself as some ship passengers did,
who only made the ocean voyage and
returning to the States without seeing
any of the interior, for the nearly con
tinuous rains and the many glaciers
of Southeastern Alaska recede into
the background when one enters the
broad open spaces of the Interior,
where the thermometer at times hov
ers around the 100 in the shade mark
and fields of ripening grain, which are
a surprise to an outsider. Alaska’s
many diverse and potential industries
offer the outlet to the young blood of
the country, who still hearken to Hor
ace Greely’s Advice, Go west, young
man, go west.”
Spending several weeks at Anchor
age, Matanuska and Fairbanks, Mr.
Epp was especially impressed with the
agricultural possibilities of the Inter
ior. “The mild even climate of the
Matanuska valley appeals to me as
laving the best possibilities for set
tlers”, continued Mr. Epp, “for the
soil is a deep silty loam and "with the
right farming methods used the re
sulting crops should offer good returns
to the farmer, for the position is strat
egic to supplying the Territory' with
grains, dairy products and vegetables.
Wonders never cease for the tourist
when he visits the experiment sta
;ions at Matanuska and Fairbanks, for
here may be seen what the land will
■eally do. Mr. M. D. Snodgrass at
Vlatanuska and Mr. George Gasser at
Fairbanks are sincerely interested in

heir work and their respective experi

hey are doing all they can to help
armers in their vicinity.” «
“There seems to be an opinion
imong a great many people of Alaska
hat there is no market for farm pro
lucts here,” continued Mr. Epp, “but
me has only to look into the larder
f a restuarant or into the storeroom
f a groceryhouse or into the refrig
rators of the meat shops and see the
rnmense amount of cold meats, cann
d milk and cream, cheese, vegetables
nd flour, which has been shipped in
•om the Outside, all of which could
asily be raised right here. Again
nd again I have been shown grains
nd vegetables that we would find
ard to duplicate in the States. If
le farmers would band together,
ave ,a common storehouse and
;andardize their products, I am
ire that they would have the hearty
a-operation of the merchants, and
len the million dollars, which in*
ioces show that is spent for products
eing shipped in and that could be
ipplied here, would remain inside
ad would swell the growth of Alaska.
“I have enjoyed immensely the tales
E the gold rush days, which the old
yurdoughs have been ever ready to
>11 me. I have enjoyed their candid
bss in expressing views of the condi
ons as they see them, w'ith which I
yuld not laways agree, but I do ad
lire the tenacious spirit which they
ave shown by staying here thru the
ials and viscitudes of the Territory
nee the days of ’98. The fever of
yld wall have to give place to the
mnds of the swinging axe of the
nd clearer, to the swish of the plow
irning up the sod and the hum of the
!aperr Alaska will enter into its mil
mium of prosperity when it becomes
df supporting, take pride in its
df-sufficiency and becomes a State.
“The Alaska Railroad is doing much
i help the farmers along the line and
le manager, Noel W. Smith, is in
ncere sympathy with agricultuure,
