A BUSY SEASON AHEAD
Not only is the proposed Lowell Creek project prac
tically assured for Seward in the spring, meaning an ex
penditure of $125,000, but it is almost certain the con
struction of the proposed breakwater in Resurrection
Bay, near the San Juan cold storage plant, will begin.
This is the latest cheering news from the front.
MINING, AGRICULTURE ALLIED INDUSTRIES
Many a farmer legislature has felt it a duty to pass
restrictive mine legislation, under the impression that
mining is/ an alien industry that prays upon instead of co
operates with agriculture.
Th facts are that mining and agriculture are the
closest friends in the whole world of industry. The min
er buys everything from the farm; he produces nothing
that the farm can raise or sell, and the greater the mine
property, the higher price and the more permanent and
exclusive the market for farm stuff.
The metal miner produces a commodity that the
whole world must buy. Given the chance to expand, he
reaches the farthest market in the world with his im
perishable products, every pound of which means more
farm products bought right at the mine for labor.
In general, the mining men, who come from every
walk of life and so are utterly free from class conscious
ness or predudices, know what effects laws have on their
industry. It would be a boon to many States and to the
Territory of Alaska for the farmer to understand the
kinship of mining and agriculture, and try to frame laws
to encourage mine development. To think of the mine
as a partner of the farmer would work a revolution.
As we interpret today's Associated Press dispatch
from Washington, D. C., President Coolidge has signed
the Lowell Creek bill, which is included in the general
budget, and passed it on to Congress.
