ALASKA—THE LAST FRONTIER
Under the above title W. B. Greeley, chief of the United States
Forest Service, tells what he knows about Alaska in Outlook magazine
of February.
The article is interesting because written from the far-eastern
uplift yjew and because Mr. Greeley is no doubt sincere and tries to be
thir. He makes concessions which were labeled as criminal conspiracy
against the government and the rights of the Eastern populace when made
by western men ten years ago This shows that Mr. Greeley is not only
a forward looking man but also a forward moving man. though he may
move as slowly as the mills of the gods. Doubtless this is so because he
travels' with the “lares and peuales” of the conservation household.
The first paragraph of Mr. Greeley’s article Moves conclusively
that all his information about Alaska is derived from printed pages. He
eays Alaska is “the story of Idaho or California retold. tie sees in
Alaska today divers pictures that disappeared from the Alaska screen
more than a decade ago. including the tinhorn gambler who is doubtless
scarcer in Alaska than in Washington City or New York because the
pickings are poorer and the come-ons less numerous than in effete Eastern
Mr. Greeley also sees on the Alaska film “the moneyed interests
intrenching for the future; men who create industries and men who p'ay
with forests, mines or water power as with poker chips.”
An ancient proverb averred that the oxen furthest from home have
the longest horns. Mr. Greeley can see things in Alaska that are wholly
invisible to residents. Alaskans are trying almost in vain to induce
moneyed interests to come here and dig in for the future. They believe
it would be good for Alaska and the country at large if the moneyed inter
ests would come. Instead, moneyed men have been moving out when
ever they could do so without too great sacrifice of money already in
vested. No “big” money has come to Alaska in the past decade.
Mr. Greeley concedes that "the development of Alaska has not been ,
guided wisely in all respects. Certain Federal laws under which she is
goverened are obsolete or inadequate. Some of them have been enforced
too arbitrarily or at too great a distance.”
The last sentence is the key-note to the whole Alaska controversy.
The other concessions are important, but all other vices in mismanagement
of Alaska are traceable to the fact that it has been controlled by bureau
crats five thousand miles away, hardly one of whom ever saw Alaska.
Mr. Greeley is apparently an earnest and honest student but if he
would spend a year in Alaska he would acquire more real information
than he now possesses. He would learn something of the Alaska mind
and that would tell him why Alaska has been decreasing in population
aince 1900—ever since the conservation fadsmiths began trying their
theories on the Alaska dog. The Territory has been going back because
enterprising men believe they can see better opportunities in the States
as long as Alaska is made an experiment station for political and econo
mic empirics—it would be impolite to say quacks.—Alaskan Churchman.
“All the world's a stage” and most of us only get to look at the
audience through a peep-hole in the curtain.
