TEAR DOWN THE FENCE
As early as 1837, the New York Post took up the
cudgel of the western squatters, demanding that justice
be given the pioneer. Commenting editorially, the Post
said:
“We see pretty frequently in the party prints, expressions
roncerning the squatters of the western prairies, and attempts
to scout the notion of a general pre-emption law for their ben
efit. We know well what class of persons are designated by this
title, for we have seen them amid the broad prairies, where they
raise their harvests, and beside the noble woods where they hunt
their game, and we have shared the hospitality of their cabins
... We have known among these squatters some of the best
and purest men it has ever been our fortune to be acquainted
with. . . . The neighborhoods formed by squatters give a value
to the unclaimed lands around them. ... It is just that they
who founded the colonies from which the lands derive their sub
sequent value, should be compensated in some way or other for
the hardships and inconveniences they have undergone.”
Ninety-four years ago the West then spoken of was
something like Alaska, differing perhaps in the fact that
the squatters Were compelled to face the dangers of hos
tile Indians. The more timid souls who clung to the At
lantic seaboard and its big cities were not unlike those of
today, viewing the frontier from a purely disinterested
or prejudiced standpoint. They do not know that the
settler in Alaska may fence and harvest the same fertile
acres; that he can hew the same home from the great un
tamed empire of the North, that big game, wild fowl and
fish abound and that, given the privilege, as was the case
of the earlier settlers, may practically fill his larder from
the woods, hills and streams, but . . .
With the discovery of these things by the same type
of misguided politicians whom the Post scolded came a
multitude of rules and regulations that threaten to defeat
the very things claimed to be sought for Alaska. True, a
settler may fill his larder from the woods and mountains,
but under laws now in force he takes a chance of arrest
and heavy penalty. He may not have game birds or game
animals in his possession 30 days after the hunting sea
son closes. There is no distinction between the man who
hunts for sport and he who thus seeks to help out his food
supply as was the case with the settlers in the States. An
other rule, and one which has evoked stinging criticism
from prospective settlers and such men as Brigadier Gen
eral Fleming, retired, big game hunter and sportsman,
is the one denying the settler the right to take game for
food without special license and guides. Efforts on the
part of the colonization department of The Alaska Rail
road to have this rule revoked, as it applies to homeseekers
and prospectors, has met with adamant refusal.
While his efforts to assist Alaska are laudable, the
suggestion that the immigration laws be amended to ad
mit several thousand foreign settlers for Alaska, as was
made by the Congressman from Colorado, we would
amend it by suggesting that Alaska can absorb many mil
lions from the United States if he will tear down the fence
placed around the Territory.
Even rouge and powder are not so deliberately de
ceptive as the bustles worn by our grandmothers.
Since obtaining a divorce a St Louis man is said to be
gradually gaining his power of speech.
