This is the second installment of
Senator J. H. Stewart of Kansas, who,
!; with Mrs. Stewart, visited Alaska last
: summer. In a later issue will appear
j
i the conclusion of his interesting ob
‘ servation of the Territory.
1 j "The only roads in Alaska are those
| built by the IT. S. Government. Each
| town has a road starting for some ob
: jective running from say eight to 25
, : miles in the country like, for instance,
the road at Seward which isj built
and blasted 21 miles out to Lake Ke.
nai, a very noted fishing country. The
lake is 50 miles long and from three
to 15 miles wide and very deep. In.
land lakes must be deep to enable
fish to live but the climate along the
coarft and some miles inland is affect
ed by the so called Japanese current
so that weather is little colder than
in Kansas, but much damper and
mists, fogs, and light rains are very
frequent. Inland the cold of Alaska
is extreme and the snowfall heavy.
Near the mountain divide, between
I Seward and Anchorage, I saw a gauge
set up that excited my curiosity and
asked the station agent what it was
to measure and he said, ‘snow,’ and
added ‘We only had 13 feet last win
ter, less than usual.’
"From Seattle to Seward is 1,856
miles, to which place we sailed on the
steamer Admiral Evans, stopping on
the way at most of the places named.
From Seward we went inland on the'
1 Government owned railroad 3S4 miles
directly north, then 12 miles by auto
1 on a Government road running into

McKinley Park. This road is expect
ed to be extended about 75 mile® and
is to enable sight seeing tourists and
hunters to get into the big game terri
tory. Big game is plentiful in much
of Alaska, (moose, caribou, sheep,
bear, goats, etc.), but'is very difficult
to et at. This is part of the reason
for government road building. If the
towns of Alaska build, blast and con
i' struct their streets and maintain them
properly they do enough at their own
expense.
“When the government finishes a
road it is about equal to a paved
street, for material in the shape of
rock and gravel is unlimited, but the;
blasting and bridging make the cost
of the roads very high. I am for!
more roads being built in Alaska.
Alaska cost the United States $7,200,
000. Its purchase was regularly con_
' demned by certain political speakers j
' for nearly 50 years following.
“Last year, according to the report
: of the Secretary of Commerce, 50,000,
! 000 of fish and fish products was ship
ped down for the usie of the world,
j mostly to Seattle. In addition gold,
lumber, furs, meats, copper, etc., came
down to make Alaska’s total exports
over $81,000,000. The mineral wealth
of Alaska is only started to be de
' veloped.
“Agriculturally the country’s devel
opment will be slow, as long as wages
and employment continue to be good!
as they are now, but the time will!
come when there will lie a good agri-j
cultural population in a small part of!
the Territory. However, much of it;
is adapted to raising reindeer which 1
feed on moosebru h, a little grass and
moss. Fur raising al -o will, no doubt
be profitable. j
“The Alaska scenery is worth going
a'long way to set}, and the facilities j
for se :ing it leave no hardships or dis-!
comforts to be endured. After your j
boat is 24 hours out of Seattle snow
is in sight practically ail the time on
t e mountains. * The mountains start ;
from the water’s edge and go up to;
above sr.ow and timber line all the!
v.a; along the Alaskan coasts, and
spruce, he ml.", k. birch, and other j
tree--, wmt at. the water and cover'

of mountains I mean what I saw for
I 1“ litre 75 per cent of ’Alaska is'}
rocks and mountains, with no level1
1 . ile .ore ms and rivers have
no bottom land worth mentioning. I
But there are raging torrents in gul_ 1
civ of rock. The ocean, bays, chan-!
nels, sounds, inlets and canals, so;

•snow, waterfalls and glaciers are fas-.
