STILL MISUNDERSTOOD
Decent press announcements stating that a million dollars were wag
ered in New York that the Alaskan Flying Expedition would not reach
Nome are a c lear exanvplifleation of the need for continued publicity regard
ing Alaska and especially respecting the climatic and other natural condi
tions obtaining in the territory. *
This wagering of a huge sum against the success of the exepdition pro
vides conclusive evidence that Alaska is still widely misunderstood in spite
of members of the air expedition that the announcement that the government
past eight of ten years. This view is further suiltained by the dec larations
of members of the air expedition that the announcement that he government
intended to send an air e xpedition to Alaska created a sensation in the East
and borught upon the War Department a torren of protests.
Ca.pt. Streett, commander of the expedition, stated during his stay in
Nome that a deluge of letters condemning the projected flight poured into
the War Department prior to his departure. Ca.pt. Streett himself also
received numerous messages urging him to refuse to undertake the journey.
The action of the department was denounced by many as outrageous and
unthinkable, some writers even going to the extreme of declaring it “criminal”
to send men on such an hazardous undertaking. This after the American
continent and Europe have been repeatedly crossed by airplane; after men
have flown twice across the Atlantic: after the achievement of a flight from
Don don to Australia and from Paris to India. Crossing vast distances by
airplane has grown commonplace, yet millions are wagered that an especially
equipped, government backed air plane expedition cannot cross Alaska to
In view of the tremendous air journeys accomplished during the past
year there can be only one conclusion regarding the wagers and protests re
ferred to and that is that Alaska is still looked upon as one of the most deso
late and forbidding spot on earth: that to large numbers of people it is still
“Seward's Icebox;" a danger filled wilderness—a veritable “land beyond
Alaskan’s have grown accustomed to believing that this false idea had
long since been dissipated. And indeed, it would seem thA the vast amount
*A publicity given the territory during the past decade through the medium
of the government railway, opening of the coa! fields, congressional hearings
and investigations .and the thousands of magazine and newspaper articles
concerning the country and its resources, would have opened the eyes of the
Outside world to at least a partial uderstanding of Alaska geographical and
climatic conditions.
It appears however, that a great deal more publicity is required to
bring to the Outside a clear conception of what kind of country Alaska reallyj
Is and thereby destroy the forbidding impression still prevailing In the public
mind. It may appear an almost hopeless task to attempt to relieve the sit
uation by methods which have apparently done so little to place Alaska before
the world in its proper light but there is no other way of doing it. Constant!
Iteration of the true facts concerning the country and its resources will ul
timately bring about the desired results. But we (must make up our minds
to keep at it, sparing no reasonable effort that promises results, and resisting
all discouragements until a thorough understanding prevails.
THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY
It may seem rather surprising to some to mention as a possible poten
tial resource of Alaska the raising of sugar beets, says a prominent Southeast
-ern Alaska journal in a recent illuminating article on that subject.
Somehow or other, it says, Alaska is not regarded as a country adapt
ed to the raising of any kind of vegetables, let alone sugar beets. We are
wont to associate Alaska as a mineral, coal, oil, fish and fur country, with a
climate too severe and forbidding for the culture of edible things such as root
crops. Simply because this impression has gained currency does not in the
least alter the facts in the case. Although it will take a long time to wipe out
the long standing and deep seated impression regarding Alaska, which char
acterizes it as a land of snow and ice. inhospitable, rigorous and severe—
n place to go in quest of a quickly and easily won fortune, but not a desirable
place in which to dwell permanently.
But adequate experiments conducted in various parts of Alaska during
the past few years have proved that the hardier vegetables and forage crops
can be raised in abundance in Alaska. Furthermore, the quality is all that
could be desired. The best turnips on sale in the public markets of Seattle
were shipped down from Alaska.
It occurred to some settlers in the Cook Inlet country to experiment
with the sugar beet raising, in view of the demand for this vegetable for sugar
making purposes. The results clearly showed that sugar beets can success
fully be grown in that region.
