HOMESTEADS FOR FUR FARMERS
The bill offered in Congress permitting the
residents of Alaska to homestead 160 acres for the pur
pose of fur farming commands the endorsement of every
one.
As has been pointed out by the Alaskan press in gen
eral, no better method could be adopted for bringing large
areas of idle land under use and have it become a contri
butor to taxes than thus encouraging such use.
The leasehold system has so many defects that it
signally fails to meet the requirements of the frontier,
and offers little encouragement for settlers.
For every tillable acre there is in the Territory there
are millions suitable only for fur farming.
It is to be hoped that Delegate Dimond will get this
thru Congress. It will go far toward offering many
people a chance to become self-sustaining and each 160
acres will eventually become a taxable asset.
At least we are learning to whom the United States
belonged all these years.
