NATIONAL CAPITAL
(By W. A. Steel)
In the year 1930 the gold output
from Alaska amounted to 407,356
ounces, with a value of $8,420,800.
which was second in production in,
the United States California taking
the lead with a value of $9,308,300.
Some of the government officials
in Washington predict that for the
year 1931 Alaska will take the lead
in the output of gold, which am
ounted to $47,247,600 in the United
States last year.
President Hoover, on August 4th.
signed an executive order excluding
three tracts of land from the Ton
gass National Forest in Alaska, pre
; viously occupied as homesites for
| cannery purposes, and restoring
them for entry under the applicable
public land laws. Included in this
order is a tract of 2.54 acres oc
cupied by Con E. Giebel, under a
special use permit from the Forest
Service, which he desires to enter
under the act of March 3, 1927.

Efforts are being made to nave
some of the big salmon packers in
Alaska give a little more thought
to the needs of the Natives, partic
ularly in the matter of securing
employment in the fisheries. Writ
ing on this subject the manager of
one of the large companies says:
“I realize that the conditions are
not good afc some of the canneries.
For instance, during the past win
ter the Natives at two of our opera
tions had no money or food, and I
instructed our representative to help
j them by giving some of these men
a certain amount of work each
week in clearing land, when the
land will probably have no value
j to us for many years to come. I
believe if more salmon packers,
Steamship Companies, and miners
will assist along these lines to up
lift the Natives, the day will come
when we will be more proud of our
Natives in Alaska than could well
be imagined.”
A newspaper man from the West
ward. Editor E. F. Jessen. of the
Seward Gateway, writes a strong
letter to the Assistant Director of
the Department of Commerce, in
the plea to have Alaska represent
ed in the “Commerce Reports—A
Weekly Survey of Foreign Trade.”
He cites the article written and de
livered by Delegate Wickersham on
“Alaska’s Trade Value to the United
States,” upon the occasion of the
completion of the Capitol at Jun
eau last February, as an example of
what might well be brought before
the people of the country, in clos
ing his letter the writers says: “The
weight of evidence in favor of Al
aska is impressive. Increased public
interest in the Territory, the de
velopment of more scientific a nr
more accurate methods of analyzing
her trade, coupled with an effort to
bring the facts before the thought
ful citizens not only in the States
but in all parts of the world, will
receive its due share of attention.”
