NEED DF ALASKA IS
PERMANENT POPULATION
SAKS MORMON ELDERS
One of the most interesting of talks
made before the Seward Chamber of
Commerce in many months Past was
given yesterday when Heber J.
Meeks, one of the Mormon Elders
from Utah, addressed the luncheon
guests briefly.
Mr. Meeks said “First I wish to ex.
press my pleasure to be here today.
I have discovered we have not known
the real Alaska. The advertising
matter and things htat we have read
and seen have dealt largely with the
Alaska Eskimo, your glaciers and wild
things. While you have all those, yet
life in Alaska as we find it has not
been properly portrayed in the States.
*‘We have found rr^odern homes,
hotels and towns, and wherever we
stop found likable and hospitable peo.
pie. It seems to me the great need
of Alaska is permanent residents. I
have found that many come here only
to make money, later to return to
their former homes. To make a sue.
cess of any country, it residents must
be imbued with a home spirit.
“The paper and pulp industry in AJ_
aska, it seems to me, has a great fu.
ture. The spirit of cooperation which
lies at the base of success should be
in vogue in the Territory. I am not
acquainted with the Interior, but we
shall be here for the summer, looking
ing things over with the view of es
tablishing a branch of the Mormon
church.
"While at Juneau the Secretary of
Alaska very kindly gave us access to
all Territorial books and records. I
feel the Territory is very well admin,
istered; it is out of debt and has a
substantial sum on hand. I found that
six percent of the Territory funds are
being expended for administrative
purposes; this is quite low. I also
found that 53 percent is being used
for educational purpose,st "which is
most commendable. The Bureau of
Education, with their native work and
experimental farms, are performing
a. remarkable work.
"It is surprising how climate mod.
erates when people settle up a coun.
try.” Mr. Meeker at this point touch,
ad briefly upon former colonization
ivork of his people; that -where former
lardy climates, upon being colonized
noderated greatly, and grains were
rrown, which previously had not.
"I believe Alaska has a future in
tgriculture a well as her mining, fur,
ishing etc. I think the Chambers of
Commerce in the Territory should all
>e under one hand in a general way,
n order that advertising and publicity
:ould promote the welfare of the Ter.
'itory. There is nothing like loyalty,
dther for the home, town, or country
rou live in.
"Should we establish a branch of
he mission in Alaska, we hope to be
»f some assistance and do some good.
U least we will do no harm. All the
hurcheg which are now in the Terri:
ory have done splendid work. We
esire to cooperate and assist in bring,
ng about the ben£ c conditions f^r
humanity.”
Other Monmon Elders present were
fames Judd, Alvin Bngle^tead and
•e under one head in a general way,
Cowell T. Plowman.

He proposes to visit Seward in the
very near future.
