! The Alaska Railroad, which runs
! between Seward and Fairbanks,
and which with its branches
comprises about 485 miles track,
was built by the Unted Staes
Government at a cost of $70,000,
000 and cost the American tax
payers every year about $1,000,000
to pay the deficit of operating ex
penses, according to Captain
Hughes, who attributes this loss
to lack of outgoing freight. The
Railway runs through some of the
most fertile land in the territory.
| “Alaska imports yearly about
$9,000,000 worth of food products,
of which 75 per cent can be pro
duced within the territory, ’ says
Captain Hughes. “A number of
experimental farms have been
operated successfully for several
: years in different parts of the
country, and the possibility of
raising wheat, oats, rye, barley,
vetch, Canadian field peas and
sugar beets as well as of breeding
cattle, pigs, sheep and goats has
been convincingly demonstrated.
Large Sections of Land
Await Developement
“There is no country today un
der the United States flag where
a man can take up 160 acres of
rich soil and make a living out
of it as can in Alaska. There
are sections of the territory as rich
as the delta lands of the San
Joaquin and Sacramento river
valleys, and the market for its
products exists not only in Alaska
but abroad. Between the Matan
uska and Tanana valleys, there
is room for 60,000 immigrants,
whom it is hoped to draw chiefly
from /the experienced farming
communities of Northern Europe
and from the Northwest, Middle
Western and Pacific Coast areas
of the United States.

the sections it is proposed to set

The sea-sled is powered with

to know the river, especially at
