DIVIDING THE TERRITORY.
THE ANCHORAGE CHAMBER of Commerce is asking the Fair
banks Commercial Club to join with it in the attempt to divide the T« r
ritory by cutting loose from the Island upon which Juneau is isolated,
and which is too near Seattle to ever amount to much. The Anchorage j
organization recites that the Second, Third and Fourth Districts have
nothing in common with the First District, and for that they wish to
let the First go by its lonesome, and the other three be banded together 1
in bands of twine. #
Anchorage will have to go further than that, to get recognition |
from the Fourth District. The Fourth has as little in common with the j
Third as it has with the First. Whatever vital we are for here. Anchor-,
age is on record against, just as much and as strong as Juneau is. We •
can get along with the Second, for those fellers talk our dialect, and if it
came to a fight between us it would be a friendly fight, whereas if either ;
the Second or Fourth were attacked by other Districts, they would stand
together for the bond that is naturally between them. But, if the Fourth |
tied up with the Third on any bond, it would just be one darned Kilkennv j
Fair from vstart to finish, for the Beachcombers and the Producers never |
could get together in spirit or in truth.
Whenever they are ready to make it a 50-50 split, the Fourth will |
spend money and time and voice to make it come that way, but at present j
we feel better and safer to let the Mormon contract of four-in-one stand,
and let Juneau and Anchorage take the day shift and fight all day. for 1
thus we save board and lodging if we take the night shift. By sleeping |
all day wr save our boardbill, and bv working all night we save our lodg
ing house*/bill.—Fairbanks News-Miner.
SEK1.VG ALASKA
MANY EXCURSION -PARTIES are being made up i-n the States
for the purpose of ••seeing" Alaska. These excursion trips will be confined
to Southeastern Alaska only, and may come as far north as Juneau. Un
fortunately., these excursionists will s<e about as much of Alaska as a tour
tot would of California, if he poked his nose one hundred yards over the
northern border. The Territory of Alaska does not begin until one
reaches the 141st degree of longitude, near Cape St. Elias. All below
this is really as much of Alaska as the tip of the tail might be said to
compose the dog. The tip could be cut ofT and the dog would still be
there. The residents of southeastern Alaska rightly speaking, are not
really Alaskans. Their sympathies, aims and ambitions are not of Alaska
nor for Alaska. They work in a circle without end and without begin
ning. Their interests are Canadian, their territory is properly Canadian,
and the greater part of their trade is derived by transportation to and
from the Yukon valley.
Any question touching Canadian interests is fought bitterly by
the First division, irrespective of harm done to the northern majority.
Their fishing boats outfit and trade with Canadian ports, and the majority
of inhabitants drink Canadian whiskey. Lipton's teas are a staple, and
on holidays the Canadian flag floats proundly beside that of the United
God forbid that we should criticise our neighbors for their display
of patriotism toward a country we ourselves esteem highly, but it is a case
in point in “seeing Alaska.” The tourist parties gain a wrong impres
sion of the Territory by confining their trips to the alien part of it. They
should spend a few dollars more and visit the towns north of the vermi
form appendix. They should go over the government railroad to Fair
banks, where the old sourdough may be seen in his native habitat, and over
the Valdez-Fairbanks trail, where nature is at her best and the country
has not changed since the tertiary period. Continuing, the tourist may
take the boat from Seward and journey to Nome, passing along the Aleut
ian Island and through Unimak Pass into Bering Sea. From Nbme he can
journey to 8t. Michael, passing up the mighty Yukon, a river ten times
as large as the Mississippi, and take the government railway at Nenana.
% After be has done this it may be said he has “seen” but a very small
part of Alaska. A country as large as the United States west of the Mlss
Isatppi cannot be “seen” by a steamship voyage of two days.—Seward
ROAD* AND TRAILS FIR8T
ROADS AND TRAILS MUST be constructed thruout Alaska, mak
ing it easy lor the prospectors to get in and out, if the wealth of the Terri
tory is to be developed. This is a primary need, prior to any other.
Ways and means of transportation come first. A few million dollars thus
expended, in carrying out the plans of the Road Commission, would re
turn enormous profits. It would not be an expense, Jiut. an investment,
and one sure to pay rich dividends. The plans aye all worked out. All
that is needed Is the money for the work. The labor supply never was
ao great.—Cordova Times.
