Volumes could be written about
Alaska—the farthermost territory on
the North AAmerican continent at
some future date will become our
forty-ninth State—the largest and'
richest of all.
With proper development, the end
less resources of this unparalleled I
country can become the source of,
vast wealth and permanent homes.;
The climate is invigorating and
healthful and people from any zone
can enjoy its winter sports, scenic
beauty, its modern life, its industries, j
homes, schools, churches and litera-1
ture.
Except those who actually have
been here, and especially those who
have lived among its primitive peo
ple and helped to solve their vitally
important problems, most persons
know very little about this Territory
that has been in our possession for
more than half a century, and without
this personal touch, it is impossible
to feel the spirit of this great Amer
ican Northland.
It is mere conjecture in saying just
at which corner of Alaska was laid the
“cornerstone,” but when Vitus Behr
ing, a Danish navigator in the Rus
isan navy, who being sent on this ex
ploring expedition by Peter the
Great and who discovered Alaska,
stopped and rested, it was at what is
now called Unalaska, the port of entry
to the Bering sea. This pioneer me
tropolis of Western Alaska is noted
for its many meritorious advantages,
it being the only possible location for
the government naval base, a harbor
from where the coast guard cutters
can easily reach and assist a ship in
distress, or protect the great seal
herds of the Pribilof Islands from the
sea pirates who cause such wanton
destruction of the mother seals and
the loss by the thousands of baby
seals by starvation. Besides being a
safe and sheltered port for all ves
sels plying between Seattle and
Nome—and of these there were many
in early days—it is the gateway into
Bristol Bay, the oldest and greatest
salmon cannery section of Alaska.
Some of these colossal industries
have been operated for more than 40
years and have taken out millions and
millions of dollars worth of salmon,
and are still producing their usual
quota of canned fish. The Jesse Lee

LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
