EXPECTED THIS YEAR
Widespread interest in Alaska
homesteads is manifest by the
number of inquiries that are still
coming in from the Middle West
and Northwestern States, said M.
D. Snodgrass, Agricultural Develop
ment Agent, who pased thru Sew
ard Saturday from the states.
Mr. Snodgrass said that since
July 1, 1930, there have been re
ceived more than 3,000 inquiries re
j garding homesteading in Alaska,
! making the total above 6,000 let
ters received. The agricultural
booklet of the Alaska Railroad has
been sent to these inquirers, to
gether with the fare and rate
sheet and personal letters to more
than half of this number who de
sired specific information on many
subjects relative to the Territory.
A questionaire was sent to each,
party making inquiry, requesting
them, if interested to fill in the
answers relative to their age, oc
cupation, number in family, and
ages, equipment they would want
to move to Alaska, when they de
sired to come and numerous other
data that would serve to classify
the inquirers as to their ability
and qualifications for homestead- j
ing in Alaska.
Four hundred and 89 have re- j
turned their questionaires and in
dicated their desire to move to j
Alaska, and more than half of
these have requested a personal
visit of the Agricultural Develop
ment Agent of the railroad. Two
hundred and 95 of these parties
have been visited and given first
hand information relative to Al
aska and the homestead possibil
ities.
During the first year some 20
public meetings were held and
slide and moving pictures of Al
aska agricultural scenes were
shown and talks given on the sub
ject. Since July 1, 1930, 24 public
meetings were held and slide pic
tures shown. Some excellent pub
licity was had thru a number of
articles written in several mag
azines and farm publications in the
States.
Thirty three prospective set
tlers have come to Alaska as a re- |
suit of direct work among I
them and several others have |
come as a result of the new set
tiers activities. A dozen have re
turned to the States. Some have
written that they would return
as soon as they could finance the
move, and a few er disappoint
ed in what they found.
Three parties who started for
Alaska were turned back by ad
verse reports from old Alaskans
who cannot see any possibilities.
This class, Mr. Snodgrass said,
j belong to those who come every
| season to work in Alaska and
| return to the States with their
earnings, each winter, and there
spend their summer earnings.
Much of this adverse criticism
is vicious, unreasonable and in
most cases, from hearsay. Many
of the worst offenders in ' this
respect are among the men who
come to work on the roads and
on the railroad, who, by their
own sordid stories, tend to des-1
troy the very program of the!
government to make possible the !
development of Alaska.
“A friendly interest shown to!
the new settler coming here could i
do much to hearten those who ;
have come 2,000 miles to build a ‘
home among us," he said.
From present indications, there |
will be between 50 to 100 new j
settlers coming to Alaska this sea- I
son.

The KOHLER Automatic
produces 110-volt current
The Kohler Automatic Power and Light Plant produces
standard 110-volt electricity, and therefore allows you to
use the same standard electric light bulbs and appliances
used in cities. These appliances are available everywhere
and cost less than those of lower voltage.
Coupled with this advantage of the Kohler Automatic is
tiie feature of “no storage batteries.” This does away with
the trouble and expense of maintaining a large bank of
glass-cell storage batteries. The cwily battery used with
the Kohler Automatic is a small, automobile-type, for
starting the engine.
Thus the Kohler Automatic gives you all the advantages
of city electricity with the same convenience—simply
turn any button on the circuit and you have electricity
for power or light. Send for illustrated booklet. Come in
and see the plant in operation.
