Occupying the most prominent
part oi' The Denver Post, “The Best
Newspaper in the V. S. A.” a four
column wide photograph of Jack
McCord, of Seward, and Mrs. McCord
appears accompanied by a lengthy
article which is published intact as
follows:
Denver capitalists are being inter
ested by Jack McCord of Seward.
Alaska, in a gigantic Alaskan devel
opment project, file biggest pioneer
ing enterprise ever undertaken.
Under tire Alaskan leasing bill, en
acted by the last Congress, an Amer
ican syndicate organized by Mr.
McCord to conquer the last frontier
of the American west and to develop
enormous natural resources of Al
askan territory on a sound, business
like, constructive basis.
Already Mr. McCord lias leased
1,000,000 acres of land in Alaska pro
per and the nearby Aleutian Islands,
for development by the syndicate.
Enormous sheep, reindeer, cattle and
fur raising projects are to be under
taken. Menuonites and Mormons
have been invited to establish colo
nies in localities best suited to that
purpose.
Big Start is A/iready Made
A big start has been made toward
the biggest and most substantial de
velopment Alaska has ever known.
Thirty Wall street bankers are
backing Mr. McCord, who is endeav
oring to interest Boston wool men,
l
| the biggest sheep men in the United
, States, bankers and capitalists clear
across the country, in the organiza
tion of a development corporation
i which will be one of the largest and
| soundest ever formed in this country.
One immense section of the leas
ed acreage is to be devoted to the
reindeer industry. Others will be
set apart for sheep and cattle graz
ing and the raising of fox and musk
rats.
The development syndicate is to
finance the enterprise. Sheep, cat
tle, muskrat and fox interests will
J furnish the animals necessary to
stock the various grazing and fur
raising ranges. Transportation agen.
i
cies are expected to be interested, j
The enterprise will be thoroughly |
and systematically organized all the '
way from the production point to '
the final market.
Opportunity Develop Last of West
“The opportunity for a profit is
not the main consideration which i
has interested the men who are
backing the enterprise,” Mr. McCord *
said. “Being successful men, they
intend, of course, that it will be a
success. The filing that has appeal
ed to them is the opportunity for
constructive development of the last
of the west. The blood of the pion
eer is in their veins. They are go
ing to build up, not exploit, Alaska.”
Single-handed, Jack McCord got
thru the Senate, on the last day of
the filibuster which tied up all other ,
legislation, the Alaskan leasing bill.
This country has never had an ar
rangement for leasing grazing lands.
At his own expense, he went to
Washington as the representative of
the Alaskan Chamber of Commerce
in general, and himself and his

Alaska on a firm, substantial, prac
tical basis.
