SEATTLE “GOOD WILL”
In announcing a prospective visit by members of
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce to Alaska next sum
mer Chairman Darwin Meiesinest says:
“Ala ka is one of the bright spots in Seattle’s trade
territory, and i lis to show the people of the Territory
•our appreciation of the business we receive from them
as w’el) as to establish new business connections.” . . „
Ob yeah!
Something like royalty going among its subjects and
giving them the “once over.”
As has been demonstrated during the past 20 years
all interest SeatCe has in Alaska is in the amount of
goods it can sell at World War prices regardless of the
general drop in commodity prices throughout the nation.
Possibly this delegation can explain that little mat
ter of invading Alaska's zone of activity and by some
hook or crook lifting a $75,000 railroad ttie contract. The
Gateway has b^en waiting patiently for several weeks
for the promised reply, but all are silent.
This delegation is entitled to courtesy and nothing
else. When Seattle money is ready to come into the Ter
ritory to develop its resources it will be time to accept
the outstretched palm now extended with a “gimme.”
FISH OILS FOR REVENUE
Any fish which will produce oil offers a potential as
set to him who will extract it. There is enough such fish
and mammals, -mch ns cod, porpoise, whales, hair seals
and siaHons, to give Alaska a goodly slice of this market.
There is no time like the present to consider these
resources when the commodities are low and other ave
nues for money making are closed.
When it corner to a question of maintaining a large
oft ice staff in Washington to compile voluminous reports
on wafer flow and maps on interior United States, Doth
non-productive, and stimulating gold mining in Alaska,
which is on the upgrade, Washington decided to throw
Alaska overboard and save office jobs.
It co°ts the Federal government $1,756,177 annually!
to conserve wild life and buy reservations. Unless they
take steps to emancipate Alaska from bureaucracy it’s
iioing to cosc a lot more to kee]) 50,000 wild men inside I
his reservation.
Une to the high cost of commodities entering into
^nfl*e Aliening of investment to the thousands
11 I'l'.ostries now almost defunct, mining in the United
oS3 ISO 0000001926 a*ld 1931 fe" °ff from $6,213,000,000
During nine years, between 1924 and 1932, Alaska,
»y bivisions, has produced gold as follows: First, $29
02. 742; Second division—$12,064,993; Third division—
5,669.3b3; Fourth division—$17,643,346.
If they must protect the gentle Alaska brown bear,
ne Game Commission might adopt the plan of a Wiscon
in owner cf a pet deer. He dresses it in a red coat du
ing the hunting season. We nominate John Holzworth
s vaHt by special warrant to King Brownie.
It looks as if Japan misinterpreted “Jehol” into ‘ gee
ole.”

HEM'S SPECIAL
Waechter r* s|
The Gateway is deserving of
much praise for the stand it has
taken on all matters benefitting
Alaska, and especially exposing
the secret deals in the matter of
buying crossties for the Alaska
Railroad, despoiling the people of
Alaska of their individual rights.
Oldtime railroad men, with
years of experience on section
work, are unanimous in saying
the hewed Alaska hemlock ties
outlast three of Outside sawed and
socalled creosoted ties.
They claim the former sawed
ties shipped in were cut from cull
ed out timber unfit for commer
cial lumber, and that the ties
were cut from the outside, sap
part of the tree, and that many of
them split when spikes were driv
en in them, something that a
hemlock tie cut from Alaska tim- j
ber does not do.
The socalled creosoting was
nothing more than a smut on the
tie that came off. From a stand
point of economy to the railroad
the sawed Outside tie represents
a cost of $3.86 a tie landed in
Alaska, against $1.10 a tie for
Alaska hemlock landed on the
right-of-way.
The Outside hemlock is worth
less for ties (and used by the 5th
Division Chamber of Commerce for
comparison) and not to be compar
ed with the Alaska hemlock tie.
A very large “nigger” will be
found in the pile of crossties some
where.
Tionsecly.
Ptarmigan season ends tomorrow
February 28. Many local residents
have been after birds since the
season opened and just recently
more than a dozen were on Mt.
Marathon in one day. The birds i
have been quite plentiful.
