WELCOME, COLONEL QUINLAN
Advance dispatches as to Col. D. P. Quinlan, per
sonal representative of the President and special as
sistant to the Chief Co-Ordinator of the United States,
bear out the impression that an executive of the higr
est calibre is honoring the Territory witn an extended
visit; to help, in whatever way he may, to solve some
of Alaska’s troubles.
Colonel Quinlan, accompanied by his charming
wife and family, arrived in Seward today. We hope
they will remain with us indefinitely; but this cannot
be.'But the Colonel should know the “Keys to the
City” are his for the asking.
‘ There is nothing seriously wrong with Alaska,
Colonel, but being Uncle Sam’s infant child and like
all kids in swaddling clothes, we enjoy crying. We want
to throw aside our bureaucratic dress and wear the
long pants of a man. We’re old enough now. So if you
can assist us Colonel Quinlan in cutting out a new de
sign, we thank you!
MARKETING REINDEER BEEF
About four years ago the Gateway pointed out the
advantages to be derived from a radical change in the
marketing of reindeer meat. It was also suggested that
deer men be financed for driving their herds to The
Alaska Railroad, where, after regaining the poundage
lost in driving, they could be slaughtered scientifically
at any time and the meat shipped to the markets of
the world in its primest state.
For some reason, the deer men met with failure in
securing finances, and thus the matter lingered until
the arrival of General Manager Otto F. Ohlson to take
the helm of The Alaska Railroad! Colonel Ohlson saw
what others had seen, and included industry develop
ment in his plans.
Now comes Ernest Walker Sawyer, special repre
sentative of President Hoover, and after having view
ed the situation first hand, endorses Colonel Ohlson’s
plan.
Of course, the Gateway’s suggestion had no mat
erial effect upon the result announced by Mr. Sawyer,
but there is comfort in the fact the Gateway is think
ing in terms that would be vindicated as now indicated.
But the work of establishing the industrry along
the railroad is not finished. There are many herd own
ers in the Kuskokwim and Seward Peninsula country
who need capital with which to finance drives and
take advantage of the opening being offered by The
Alaska Railroad.
According to the last information on the subject,
the plans call for building a pasture five miles square,
somewhere in Broad Pass, at which point an abbatoir
will be established. Deer will be driven over in sufficient
quantity to provide a heavy tonnage, but not so num
erous as to crowd the pasture.
Once this industry is established, it will divert to
the Railroad Belt a large volume of business that has
hitherto traveled up the Kuskokwim, and held exclu
sively by Seattle merchants.
The community which displays the greatest alacri
ty in coming to the aid of the deer men with loans to
tide them over until they can secure returns on their
beef, will be the one that will control the trade to be
developed.
The slaughtering and shipping of deer is but the
primary element in this industry. There are hides to
be tanned, waste to be turned into glue and fertilizer,
and a new field of investment is opened to the mar
with money in the large herds now held by men who
are practically deer poor.
From a funeral oration: “Friends we have here onhy
the shell of a man; the poor nut is gone.”
One can understand why Southern Senators anc
Congressmen are strong advocates for farm relief ai
this time. Watermelons are ripening.
ALASKA’S PIONEER ACE
In behalf of the City of Seward j
Col. Ben Eielson, pioneer aviator ‘
and Alaska’s Ace, is welcomed
home. The reknowned exploits of
Colonel Eielson during the last
few years has won him world
recognition. The courage and for
titude under hazardous conditions
that mark exploration in the
Arctic and Anarctic with airplanes
cannot be extolled too highly. j
Alaska is mighty proud of Colonel j
Eielson; the entire world has i
ever held in high regard the start |
hearted men who take their lives j
in their hands in quest of land in j
the polar regions. J
(Continued from I’a^e One}
high power salesman who is in- !
terested in results for the Alaska
Railroad in particular and Alas- j
ka in general. Every man who !
has had any experience in the !
handling of men will recognize j
the type of the master mind j
and unswerving purpose that
characterize the real executive
who, knowing the justice of his
cause, follows through with a
genial determination which car- ;
ries a ‘wallop’ that all right
minded folks admire. Every safe
and sane Alaskan will be help
ing his own cause by put
ting his shoulder to the Ohlson
wheel.
“There must be some real ex
planation back of the oft
repeated statement one hears
here in Alaska that Colonel Ohl
son is the first real, honest-to
god railroad man that the Govern
ment has sent to Alaska. ‘Wis
dom is justified of her children.’
That man will go far, not only
in putting the Alaska Railroad
on its feet but in the upbuilding
of the Territory as well”.
! Mr. Frothingham, who has
been here since the latter part of
April, sails on the Yukon to
morrow for home- He has made
complete arrangements to spend
the summer and fall of next
year here with Mrs. Frothingham.
