jlUSItl IS ONE PUCE
! WHERE DEPRESSION HUS
IDE NO KEMf
(By Charles P. Stewart)
WASHINGTON, D. C. Nov. 27. —
! Alaska is too difficult and expen
sive to get to, to make it at all
j likely that a rush of job hunters
! will start in that direction, no mat
ter how enticing the prospects
there may be. So probably there is
no harm in relating that Judge
Janies Wickersham, the new Ter
ritorial Delegate from Alaska, says:
“ We Alaskans hardly know there
is such a thing as a depression.”
Judge Wickersham is the Terri
tory’s new Delegate in the sense,
anyway, that he succeeds Dan A.
Sutherland, who last March con
cluded a 10-year stay here and was
not a candidate for reelection, but
the judge also preceded Dan, and
now is back again after an inter
val. He was on /the Territorial
bench in President Roosevelt’s day
—dates back to the gold rush, in
fact. And is the youngest-looking
progressive Republican of nearly
half way between 70 and 80 thatj
I ever met, I am positive.
“Good times for the remainder!
of the world,” explains the judge, I
“were not such satisfactory times j
for Alaska. That is to say, gen
erally high prices meant a low price
for gold, Alaska’s great product.
The more it cost us to produce, the j
less we could get in return for it.” !
Of course. Gold is money—at
least in gold standard countries.
And an alterative method of de
scribing high prices is to speak of
money as cheap.
Today, however, with prices
f slumping, gold soars, Is that it?
“Exactly," nodded the judge.
“Even very low grade mines,
which formerly were unprofitable
to work, now pay handsomely, pro
vided they are not too far from
transportation.”
Meaning water transportation—
in an almost railroadless country?
“Yes,” said the Delegate. “Our
only railroad is the government
built line, and that has been finan
cially unfortunate through no fault
of its own or the Territory’s. It
was well conceived, but just as it
was started the war broke out,
enormously inflating construction
costs. Built on a pre-war or re
cent, post-war basis, it would not
be a losing enterprise.”
And with more railroads there
could be more gold mining?
“Certainly,” rejoined the judge.
“The oldtime placer claims are
worked out. Mining in this genera
tion is a large scale undertaking,
requiring rail facilities. As the in
terior fills up, and they develop, it
will be a vastly expanded indus
try.”
| As the interior fills up? With!
| whom—for instance?
I “With farmers, among others,” j
(said the judge, “and settlers gen-:
j erally.”
Farmers—in interior Alaska?
“To be sure, farmers,” insisted
the judge sharply, evidently resent
i ing the implication that his home j
| Territory is not an agricultural J
i paradise. “There is no finer wheat I
j area in the world than the Yukon i
I Valley. Our garden truck hasn’t j
I its equal, especially our potatoes.” j
“Bear in mind,” urged the north- j
j land veteran, “that we’re not at
j the North Pole. We’re in Sweden’s
\ and Norway’s latitude, and their
i people are the settlers we need.
(They must be hardy folk, prepared
I to face primitive conditions. Those
Scandinavians are just the raw
material.”
Alaska is not, then, like the
“States”—afraid of immigration?
“On the contrary,” said the Dele- *
gate, “if it’s the right kind and i

WHEN WINTER COMES
IS YOUR house packed to the eaves with tremend
ous stores of flour . . . meat . . . clothing . . . and
other supplies to carry you through the long winter?
Not very likely!
But if not, won’t you—like the butterfly that
played all summer without a thought of the cold
days to come—won’t you be in danger of facing
famine, months before spring comes around again?
Certainly not!
When wintry winds are blowing their coldest,
and the storm is wailing like forgotten banshees on
the roof-top, the chances are you may be eating juicy
strawberries from Costa Rica and fresh asparagus
from Florida. For the day of storing up supplies
against the barrenness of winter has gone forever.
It has passed^when America ceased to be a lot oiJ
scattered communities, and became a nation united
by swift line of transportation.
As you read the advertisements telling you just
what the stores contain for you, fresh to your order,
remember that here are the inexhautible store
rooms of today . . . storerooms that have banished
forever the anxieties that went with the snows of
yesteryear.
