USE ALASKA TIMBER
The following paragraphs are taken from the
splendid edition of the All-Alaska Review for 1930
just off the press of the Cordova Times. It was furnish
ed by the Forest Service of Alaska. Anyone who loves
Alaska as we do, should make haste to secure a copy oi
the Review. It is a fine piece of printing work and it is
instructive and stimulating. Talking about timber (and
we haven’t the space to carry the article in full) the
Forest Service has this to say:
“The utilization of Alaska products by Alaskans,
Insofar as these products are suitable for the purposes
at hand and can be obtained at reasonable cost, can be
made an important factor in the future prosperity and
development of the Territory. If looking first to Alas- j
ka industries to meet local needs became a matter-ol
course practice, industrial development would be im
measureablv expanded, and this in turn would assist
all of the activities on which growth said general de
velopment of the Territory depend. The benefits would
be apparent at once and no subsidies or other special
inducements to industrial enterprise would be required
to bring them about—nothing but aclherance to a mu
tual understanding among ail concerned that Alaska
products would be given consideration first when pur
chases are to be made.
Most persons would be astonished at the figures
covering the vast quantity and great value of the mat
erial being shipped into the Territory yearly and of
the good percentage of tiiis that is available locally
either in usable form at present or that could quickly
be brought into usable form if the local Alaska market
were reasonably well assured to the local producer.
One class of material used extensively in Alaska,
a much larger proportion of which could be supplied
locally, is lumber and simple products manufactured
from lumber.”
ALL ALASKA REVIEW FOR 1930
It is a pleasure to acknowledge receipt of this fine
annual publication of the Cordova Times. Each year
they have been getting better and this year it is the
best. It is a compendium of reliable information on all
Alaska. The material has been well prepared and the
selection of pictures shows discrimination and taste.
The art work is excellent. Every Alaskan should have
a copy for his own keeping and knowledge and he
should send several to friends in the States. The result
would almost certainly be numbers of new Alaskans
converted to our tribe.
Seward gets a good play with good pictures. The
article as written by Leonard Hopkins, secretary of
the Seward Chamber of Commerce, adequately des
cribes “Seward-Central Port of Alaska,” as a good
place to come for recreation, settlement and prosperity.
EDITORIAL PONDERINGS
It is on nights like the other night when the wind
comes tearing over the mountains, howling like a ban- j
shee, that our thoughts immediately leap to the men
at sea. How goes it with them? we wonder. Were they
safe in harbor? Were they riding bravely thru on that |
night, or are they now drifting helplessly in icy seas 1
trying to remember a last verse from the Bible?
Seems to us that if the government is beginning to
appreciate Seward as a possible military point of strat
egy as well as a coaling station, it should also think of
that element of safety at sea to be so much abetted and
ratified by the stationing of a coast guard cutter in
these waters, winter and summer.
As a bird is known by his note, so is a man by his
conversation. Ponder a bit on those words.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan., 5, (/P>
—The Eskimo in North Green
land are the world’s most nearly
perfect people, it is believed by j
Capt. Donald MacMillan, explor- |
er.
“They spend most of their j
time providing for their bare
needs but are the happiest and
so healthy that they pass no bad j
traits to the children. Their!
senses are keener than domes- j
treated dogs and their minds 1
can grapple problems never solv
ed by our own thinkers/’ Mac 1
Mil;an stated. “They are probably J
the most enduring race of the j
age/’ he added.
QUAKES IN GREECE
ATHENS, Greece, Jan. 5. (A5) —
Severe earthquake shocks caused
damage in several villages but no
lives were lost. At Corinth all old
houses standing after the quake of
early last year, collapsed- Ten
houses and a church collapsed at
Assos, Greece.
George J. Love, well-known resi
dent of Valdezz was an arrival on
th Northwestern on his way to
Fairbanks on general insurance
business.
NEW ARRIVALS
A new arrival not down on the
passenger list, was a calf born in
the dairy herd aboard th« North
western. It was a great object of !
Interest to every body aboard- The I
captain, the chief engineer, the
mail clerk went into an executive
would have to charge freight on
the new addition to the cargo. The
Alaska climate evidently proves in
vigorating for another calf was j i
born after the ship docked here.
