RETIREMENT OF MR. GARFIELD
In the retirement of Charles D. Garfield as director
of the Alaska Division of the Seattle Chamber of Com
merce it is regretable to Alaskans who have watched his
labors on behalf of the Territory. The retirement is the
result of retrenchments of the Seattle Chamber, which
evidently does not consider Alaska of paramount impor
tance in its program of rehabilitation following years of
depression.
In this the Chamber is in error. Alaska is the source
of new wealth, as it was the source of Seattle’s being. The
question of markets, which are now at the low ebb, is vit
ally involved in the progress of the Territory. In fact,
Alaska is the only developing region which gives promise
of stimulating trade on the Pacific Coast. That it is not
in full swing has been due, to a great extent, to the lack
of interest in its resources, displayed by Seattle.
With a mining boom incubating, the Alaska Bureau
of the Seattle Chamber was one of its most important
functions. It is hoped that the revival of the department
will not be long delayed.
In the meantime we imagine Mr. Garfield’s services
and his intimate knowledge of Alaska, will prove of great
valuq to the San Francisco and Los Angeles Chambers of
Commerces wdiich organizations are making a strong bid
for a portion of Alaska’s $30,000,000 annual imports.
NORTKERIHJGHTS
These items are taken from the
various papers of the Territory.
Oil obtained from sockeye and
Chinook salmon has a high value
for treatment of rickets in infants
and young children has been de
monstrated by Dr. Martha A. Elli
ott, director of the Child Hygiene
division, United States Department
of Labor.
It is understood from unofficial
but authentic sources that the four
partners in the Goat Mountain
holdings have received wires from
another Canadian mining company,
requesting that the deal be held
open until they can make a survey
of the prospect. It is understood
further that a wire granting this
concession was sent out recently.
Suffering from a seriously in
jured back, Ernest Harding was
brought to Juneau from Port Con
clusion. He is an employee of the
North west Herring Company at
Port Conclusion and suffered his
injury in a fall.
Dr. R. G. Smith, Petersburg dent
its, was recently married to Miss
F- Marion Wells. Mrs. Smith ar
rived in Petersburg from Colorado
Springs, Colo., with her companion,
Miss Helen Wilkeson, who has her
home in Los Angeles.
