ALASKA TO BE
SAWYER SEES TERRITORY AS
A JUNCTION POINT FOR
WORLD AIRWAYS
(Los Angeles Times)
Alaskan reindeer steaks may be
come a popular entry on Los Ange
les menus; only 750 miles of high
way remains to be built before
motorists can drive to Fairbanks;
aviation is opening up new possi
bilities in Alaskan gold explora
tion; and boundless opportunities
to reap substantial reward on capi
tal awaits investors.
There are a few of the highlights
of an address by Ernest Walker
Sawyer, executive assistant to the
Secretary of the Interior, made
during a luncheon of the Chamber
of Commerce.
Altho Sawyer is in Los Angeles
following an extensive tour of Alas
ka in the interest of increasing
traffic on the government-owned
Alaska Railroad, he was alert dur
ing his trip to the new vistas which
flying and motoring are unfolding
for America’s northern possession.
RAPID TRANSPORTATION
The fishing industry in Alaska,
now its largest producing asset,
may run into competition when
swift transportation by air and
highway make reindeer meet ship
ments to the United States possible,
Sawyer belives.

ed in Alaska, he pointed out, per
mitting rapid transportation of
Imen and supplies to gold producing
| regions which formerly took months
'of lavorious travel to reach,
j Trade and tourists travel from
Los Angeles to Alaska will be in
creased when the nearly complete

• stretching from Los Angeles to
Fairbanks, is welded by the 750
miles still to be constructed, prin
cipally in British Columbia.
OPPORTUNITY AWAITS
Los Angeles capital, Sawyer be
lieves, could well be invested in
some of the Alaskan industries still
ilargely undeveloped. He mention
led agriculture, minerals, such as
coal and tin, lumber, the propaga
tion of fur-bearing animals, prin
cipally mink and fox, and the de
velopment of beautiful and inter
iesting summer resort sites.
The chamber luncheon was at
tended by a group of Los Angeles
| business men interested in Alaskan
'affairs. At the close of Sawyer’s
talk, Clarence H. Matson’s sugges
tion that an Alaska committee be
formed here received a unanimous
vote. It also was suggested that
the chamber sponsor a trip to Al
aska next summer for Los Angeles
I business men.
