Alaska is the last frontier of the

■is a grand frontier with more wealth

; in all Southeastern Europe, more

• Five times the size of California,
j siv times the size or Oregon and

’with enormous resources of coal, oil
'and wheat land, forest and uumincd
tores, with the tides of business and
1 migration setting northward to her
I coast, and a sea-bourne commerce
rising rapidly between her snuth
Iwestern ports and the ports of this

$200,000,000 a year, and most of
this trade must belong to Seattle.”
These are the words of a bin busi
ness man. who, before doing busi
ness here, did business on a large
scale in Alaska. The figures seem
incredible, but he stands by them.
“There would be many kinds of re- ,
sources to keep the trade at this fig

This is proved even today by the1
statement of Seattle retailers. This
city has not only its wholesale cus-1
tomers in Alaska. It has any num
ber of shopping customers— women !
who buy baits and clothes by mail, j
women who come down from the Al
aska coast towns periodically to buy j
their hats and gowns and knick
knacks, women who run charge ac
counts a>t Seattle department, stores
as if they were suburbanites and
whose husbands pay the monthly
bills with checks on running ac
ccunts on Seattle banks.
So it is and so it was. A closer
relationship between a, prosperous
frontier and a prosperous commer
cial port could hardly be imagined.
Then came the great political blow.
Alaska, must be conserved; Alaska
must be reserved for posturity; Al
aska must not be developed, because
development and exploitation meant
enrichment of this generation of Am
ericans still unborn—Whatever that
may mean when brought down to
So at the demand of a little group
of distant “canservattets,” who knew
as little of Alaska as of the Isles of
Greece, this vast territory was lock
ed up by means of restrictive laws
against large capital investments, by
means ©f forty -of fifty commissions
and 200 or 300 commissioners who
were put in charge of her resources,
by means of violent measures of
pretty much everybody who might
seek to work Alaska’s resources “for
(profit rather thfcn for service.”
Alaska was locked up and the key

Alaska was locked up. And what
was locked up with her? Any busi
ness man here will tell; almost any
' report of the Interior Department at
1 Washington will tell. The list is
long, but the chief it- in.-* may be
named— many million barrels of oil,
hundreds of millions of tons of coal,
countless millions of feet <»f lumber,

Delegate Sutherland will oppose
•both territorial division and reap
portioament of representation in tho
Territorial Legislature, according t>»
■a declaration made by th»- Delegate
to R. E. Robertson, social envoy
sent from Juneau to Washington, D.
C.. by the Juneau City Council for
the purpose of laying the division
proposal before Congress, and to se
cure if possible, a reapportionment
of the divisional representation in
tho. Legislature, based on population
rather than arbitrary rule of Con
fess. According to a telegram
from Mr. Robertson' following his ar
rival in the capital, the Delegate in
formed him that lie would assist in
all matters except a division of the
territory and a reapportionment of
representation. The Delegate is
openly against separating South Al
aska from the remainder of the Ter
ritory. claiming that such action is
desired by the fish packers. Mr.
Sutherland says he favors Statehood
for Alaska but will no<t work for it
ot this thne, and agrees with Mr.
Robertson that it would be impossi
ble to achieve it at the present time,
or for several years to coine.
Mr. Robertson was assured by
C‘ a?irman Curry, of the House Com
mittee on Territories that he favors
partial reapportionment of legisla
tive representation bus Is opposed
i to ithe division proposal. Tie said
Mr. Robertson would probably be
