CONGRESSMAN SANDLIN
Speaking with the delightful ;
soft southern accent, John N.
Sandlin of Louisiana was the first !
of the distinguished members of j
the Congressional party to ad- j
dress the gathering.
"Evidently some kind of a ‘She- j
nanigan’ has been pulled off here j
for ordinarily I have been hither- ;
to called on last to make a speech, j
However, I thought that when I j
came to Alaska I would see a
strange country, strange people,
strange voices, etc., but I find my
self in the same place as the
colored man in No Man’s Land
when he overheard the ‘ivories’
rattling and someone exclaimed:
‘Shoot you for a dime!’ and the
colored chap yelped ‘Thank God,
I have fallen into the hands of
Christians.’
"Your mayor, Mr. McMullen,
comes from near my home wThich j
is not far from the Texas border, j
We have lots in common. I must J
admit I was extremely ignorant of j
Alaska before coming up here.” j

aptly illustrated his remarks.
; “These visitations to your country
|are bound to give us a better
iknowledge of conditions up here.
!you have vast natural resources
in minerals, fishing and agricul
ture but what interests me more
than anything else is folks, just
folks.
“The people will be the de
velopers and the pioneer spirit
is what your advancement will de
pend on. Right here let me say
that if every member of Congress
could visit Alaska I am afraid
there would be no money left in
the treasury. Before I forget it,
while on this trip, we organized
a new Alaska lodge; the men are
called ‘Gentlemen, of the Caribou’
and the women ‘Caribouses.’ I no
ticed this evening one of the mem
bers had forgotten the password.
“I can assure you as far as I
am concerned Alaska problems to
come before me in the future
will be looked upon with a friend
ly attitude.”
J. W. SUMMERS
Dr. J. W. Summers of Wash
ington stated: “I find that Alas
ka is peopled largely by citizens
of the state of Washington, which
state is noted for its wonderful
climate. I also find former citi
zens of Kansas and Iowa, but
these came up here for the pur
pose of finding a better place in
which to live.
“Our committee deals with ev
erything concerning agriculture;
under this are the national for
ests. You have tremendous areas
of timber in southeastern Alaska.
We are not overlooking other proj
ects, however, in framing appro
priations. The Alaska experimental
farms and stations are of much
interest to us, and I am greatly

'surprised at the developments
which have taken place, which is
proof of the productivity of vege
tables and grains in Alaska; also,
your flowers are a source of won
der and amazement. I would also
suggest that the practice of send
ing out ice and snow pictures be
| discontinued, and in their place
summer scenes be distributed.
“I must confess that Alaska has
completely won me over. The hos
pitality which has greeted us in
every place has made a deep and
j profound impression on this en
jtire committee. We are immensely
j pleased with the high type of the
citizenry of Alaska. I do not think
! that we will serve in Congress
long enough to ever forget Alaska,
jand appropriations for the Ter
| ritory will certainly fall upon sym
| pathetic ears. I predict Alaska will
i receive splendid treatment.
“One thing we see that you need
is roads as a means of communi
j cation. Your towns, with few ex
ceptions, have short roads only,
10 to 15 miles in length. With the
numerous autos in each town, they
form almost a continuous proces
sion on these short roads. Civiliza
! tion and road building go hand in
i hand, and for one, I am heartily
in favor for more road building
in Alaska, which is the funda
mental factor.”
