A STRANGE SITUATION,
VISITING CONGRESSMEN!
(Continued fiom Pane Four)
of the Government agents in charge.
There are 5,000,000 acres of fertile agricultural
lands in the Kenai Peninsula, the Susitna and the Mata
nuska valleys, and in the Tanana valley, where for 24
years crops of wheat, rye, oats and barley of hardy va
rieties have yielded averages above 20 bushels per year,
with never a single failure.
Can you beat that in California, or Idaho, or Ohio,
or Nebraska?
See for yourselves the magnificent grass lands and
the ripening grains in the Interior. See for yourselves
the hundreds of fine gardens in Seward, Anchorage,
Wasilla, Talkeetna, Nenana, Fairbanks and all other
places in Alaska, growing every variety of vegetables
that are produced in Idaho, Nebraska, Kansas or Ohio.
If you please, go to Sunrise, 70 miles north of Sew
ard, and there see for yourselves apple trees bearing
as abundantly of the best grades and flavor of apples
as you can find in any State in the United States.
" Resources? God in all His bounteous mercy never
provided more in such abundance as you see right under
your eyes, here in Alaska.
Why are they not being developed? Why? Why?
A Committee of United States Senators visited Al
aska last summer. They came to Seward. They trav
eled over the Alaska Railroad. Some important facts
then presented to them were suppressed. Senator How
ell of Nebraska, chairman of that committee, can tell
you why they were suppressed. It is important to know
the real reason. Some people in these parts have been
driven to the belief that he was influenced by the same
secret powers that are preventing developments in the
field of the Alaska Railroad. Is Senator Howell an apol
ogist and defender of former Secretary of the Interior,
Albert B. Fall?
This same Albert B. Fall, of $100,000 fame, can
tell you if he will who are th§ very influences that have
prevented and are preventing developments in the field
of the Alaska Railroad. He is the official who stopped
Naval Coal developments in the Matanuska district, who
stopped timber developments, who stopped all other de
velopments.
Why did he do it? The policies he initiated here are
still in full force and operation. Why? Why?
Go to the bottom of those facts, visiting Congress
men, and you will be able to submit a report to your
colleagues in the House of Representatives which will
throw an illuminating flood of light on the Alaska sit
uation.
If you will do this, gentlemen, you will render a
patriotic service to the American people such as no other
Committee from either branch of Congress has ever
equalled in lasting and far reaching benefits, concerning
any Territory west of the Mississippi river.
Alaska lias resources in abundance to support 20,
000,000 or more of American citizens in comfort and in
a high degree of civilization, as surely as the correspond
ing areas in northwestern Europe support 27,500,000 of
the hardiest and best types of men and women in all
the families of the human race.
The resources and the favorable climate are here.
All that Alaska and the Alaska Railroad need are in
telligent understanding by the rest of our fellow Amer
icans and honesty in dealings with Alaska and the Al
aska Railroad by officials in high places.
It is within* your official province to help the good
work along. It is within your keeping to tell the Amer
ican people some wholesome truths from a public ros
trum that will carry your words for all to hear.
It is not too much to say that you hold the power
to compel the application of the elementary principles
of common honesty and of business ability which alone
are requisite to make the Alaska Railroad an agency
•of great service for which Congress intended it, fi
nancially profitable in itself, and Nationally helpful and
creditable to all the American people.
