LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

INCREASE VALUE
FISH PRODUCTS
INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE SHOWS
GAIN OVER PREVIOUS
YEAR’S OUTPUT
While there was a slight increase
in the value of fish products of the
Territory during the past fiscal year,
the industry as a whole showed an
expansion over 1925, says Governor
Parks in his annual report.
The outstanding feature was the
marked growth in the herring indus
try. in which the investment value
and products increased more than 50
per cent over the previous high re- -
cord in 1924. The total active invest- ,
ment in the fisheries of the Territory i
in 1925 is estimated at §67,077,495, i
and of this sum 80 per cent is repre- i
seated in the salmon-canning industry, i
The total value of fisheries products i
in 1925, exclusive of aquatic furs is
estimated to be §40,038,745, or approxi
mately §250,000 less than for the pre
ceding year.
ALASKAN FORESTS
BRINGING REVENUE
NEARLY MILLION AND QUARTER
DOLLARS PAID INTO NATION
AL TREASURY
The use of national forest lands for
is permitted where such use is of a
purposes other than timber growing
higher economic value. Homesteads,
mines and townsites can be patented
under the general public land laws,
and lands for water power purposes
and fox farms can be leased under
appropriate laws and regulations.
The total receipts from timber sales,
leases, etc., on the national forests
of Alaska from the time the forests
were placed under administration in
1906 up to and including the present
year are $1,248,325. The total expen
ditures during the same period on the
forests, exclusive of the sums spent
for roads and trails, amounted to $1,
290,067. Twenty-five per cent of the
gross forest' receipts is given to the
Territory for the benefit of the schools
and roads.
