FARMERS' IN STATES LOOKING
< TOWARD THE TER
RITORY
CSpecial to The Qatew&y)
The efforts of the Department
Of the interior to settle, the Mata
nuska, Susitna and Tanana valleys
in Alaska have met with encour
agement in the form of 6,000 in
quiries from interested fagngrs in
the mid-western, and northwestern
sections of the States, it Wak re#*
vealed by M. D. Snodgrass, agri
cultural development ageiffc, wprkr
ing in cooperation with Col. O. F.
Ohlson, general manager of the
--
According to surveys made by
the Department of Agriculture
there are 50,000 square miles of
tillable land open to homestead
entry in the Alaska Railroad belt,
and the land bears timber in
quantities sufficient for building,
fencing, etc. Of this land at least
20,000,000 acres are suitable for
the raising of grain, and it is all
adapted to truck gardening and
berry culture.
Lying between latitudes 60 and
64, the three valleys open to set
tlement are comparable in climate
to Montana and northern Minne
sota— contrary to ideas enter
tained generally by persons fam
iliar with our northern territory
only through the medium of novels
and motion picture thrillers. Many
of the genus sourdoughs have
spent their lives in Alaska and
have never seen an Esquimaux,
an igloo or a polar bear. The
first aim of government educa
tional advertising is to drown these
frost-phantoms of the north in
the balmy waters of the Japanese
current and convince prospective
settlers that Alaska is not an ice
bound wilderness.
That the farmers looking north
ward for new land are of pioneer
calibre was evidenced this spring
by one dauntless old frontiersman.
•John Gobb, 70, of McCabe, Mont.,
arrived at Seward, the northern
terminus of the Alaska Steamship
Co., with the intention of taking
the train to the Matanuska valley,
150 miles inland, and there filing
on a homestead.
Speaking only broken English,
he was unable to correctly inform
the ticket agent of his destination
and as a result was given a ticket
to the first station north, a dis
tance of about 5 miles. Undis
mayed, Gobb shouldered his suit
case and set out afoot. Six days
later he arrived at Anchorage,
headquarters of the Alaska Rail
road, and asked to be shown some
homestead land. Investigation
brought to light that he was a
wealthy rancher and had left his
Montana possessions in the hands
of two capable sons while he Jour
neyed north to assist in the pio-'
peering of Alaska farm land. He
bad , Walked j 111 miles and had
crossed two snow-covered moun
tain ranges, without losing a par
ticle of his original enthusiasm.
Others like him are hewing out
homes in the rich valleys of the
north country' arid the dreams of
Dr. C. C. Georgeson, plant wizard
of Alaska, who in 1808 established*
the first agricultural experment
station in Alaska at Sitka, bid fair
to be realized.
About $5,000 damage was done
to the Alaska Hoad " Commission
blacksmith shop in Fairbanks last
week, reports the News Miner,
by fire from an unknown cause.
Alabama produced 10 per cent of
the bauxite and a smaller percent
age of the asphalt mined in the
United States In 1929.
Large deposits of green slate
tohich takes high polish have been
found in Arkansas.
