Commissioner Henry O’Malley, I;
am certain this industry is now on !
a permanent basis. Fur is one of j
the great industries of Alaska, j
and fur farming is a real busi- j
ness in many of your localities. I]
favor an experimental station for j
fur-bearing animals.
“Your pulp—and this reminds
me, I just received a telegram
today that one of the mapping
planes in southeastern Alaska dis
covered this morning a new source
of water power, one sufficient in ;
size for a 25.000 horse-power plant
—industry is destined to become
one of the great productive sec
tions of the world, and I under
stand that a deal has just about'
been consummated wherebv two ;
large mills are to be erected. :
Waste, waste. I see a vast waste,
in this connection, for as trees j
mature they should be utilized, j
Instead they are going to waste j
up here. I
“And this is where the pulp in- I
dustry in Alaska* will become a |
great source of revenue to the
Territory. Though the develop- j
ment of mines is now in the
hands of large organizations, and j
will continue so in the future, the ;
prospector has his place, for the
prospector locates the mines. Ij
had always thought that a pros- ;
pector could get around anywhere,
but I find here in Alaska this is
not so, owing to vast distances
and climatic conditions. We have
-done a great deal in the exten
sion of roads and trails, and we
propose to do more. The commit- ,
tee has been very liberal in this
matter, and I have discovered
since my visit here that the peo- j
pie of Alaska love their roads.
Why, in one place where they had
Jbut eight miles of road, I found
a man who had driven his car
80.000 miles.
“Iowa produces many crops
among which are many school
teachers. These like Alaska, and
especially the salary that you pay.
these teachers marry, thereby be
I find that after a year or two
coming a part of Alaska. There
fore, I feel that Iowa is making
a splendid contribution toward
Alaska. t
“But, with all due respect to
the farmers and the agricultural
situation, how manv marry pros
pectors or farmers? I fear the
farming situation in Alaska faces
a serious problem. In all of my
travels throughout this vast coun
try, and of the innumerable farms
visited, I found but one woman
on a farm.
“Probablv the next generation
of your men and women will go
on the farms. In any case, we
are extending every facility to
Alaska. When the extension cno.
f>m is out into complete force in
your country, or when von "ro
pbip tn brino- together all eatables
of the producers to the consum
er. a o^aat stride in progress will
be made.
“I want to close my remarks
with, that as we hold meetings
this winter in Washington, we will
take a deeper interest and will
Just say to her:
“We’ll go out to
dinner tonight
dear. And wash
ing the dishes
won’t spoil the
evening for you
“ASK FOR MEL’*
have a deeper sympathy and un
derstanding of Alaska, on acount
of our visit with you.
“The most striking feature I
have noted among Alaskans is
your keenness and appreciation
for roads and trails. This has
been a revelation to me. The trip
has certainly been worth while,
and I can assure you that you
have more friencis at court. I
would say that you need at least
100,000 people in order to really
begin a slow and steady develop
ment. You will find the govern
ment friendly and" the various bu
reaus trying and arranging to
carry on a constructive program
of development in Alaska.
“We greatly appreciate the time
that Colonel Ohlson has taken off
from this mutiple duties in order
to be with us. We also appreciate
this opportunity of meeting the
-itimers of Seward. Maintain your
faith and stamina, men and wo
men. for you are the backbone of
Alaska.”
With 20 minutes before sailing
south on the cutter Tahoe, no
time was left for the guests to
individually meet the congressional
narty, excepting to unanimously
bid them farewell. The cutter de
noted at 9 o'clock, direct for Se
attle.
