“Coming to Alaska with intentions
of staying only two weeks, but liking'
the country so well that I have re-'
mained over three months in the Ter
ritory instead, 1 think speaks rather
well for my opinion of this country.”
said Abe Epp, who has newspaper and
agricultural interests in centra*! Kan
sas.
“I am glad that I did not content
myself as some ship passengers did,
who only made the ocean voyage and
returning to the States without seeing
any of the interior, for the nearly con
tinuous rains and the many glaciers
of Southeastern Alaska recede into
the background when one enters the
broad open spaces of the Interior,
where the thermometer at times hov
jers around the 100 in the shade mark
and fields of ripening grain, which are
a surprise to an outsider. Alaska's
many diverse and potential industries
offer the outlet to the young blood of
the country, who still hearken to Hor
ace Greely’s Advice, Go west, young
man, go west."
Spending several weeks at Anchor
age, Matanuska and Fairbanks, Mr.
Epp was especially impressed with the
agricultural possibilities of the Inter
ior. “The mild even climate of the
Matanuska valley appeals to me as
having the best possibilities for set
tlers”, continued Mr. Epp, “for the
soil is a deep silty loam and with the
right farming methods used the re
sulting crops should offer good returns
to the farmer, for the position is strat
egic to supplying the Territory with
grains, dairy products and vegetables.
Wonders never cease for the tourist
when he visits the experiment sta
tions at Matanuska and Fairbanks, for
there may be seen what the land will
really do. Mr. M. D. Snodgrass at
Matanuska and Mr. George Gasser at
Fairbanks are sincerely interested in
their work and their respective experi
ment stations show careful labor; and
they are doing all they can to help
farmers in their vicinity.” «
“There seems to be an opinion
among a great many people of Alaska
that there is no market for farm pro
ducts here,” continued Mr. Epp, “but
one has only to look into the larder
of a restuarant or into the storeroom
of a groceryhouse or into the refrig
erators of the meat shops and see the
immense amount of cold meats, cann
ed .milk and cream, cheese, vegetables
and flour, which has been shipped in
from the Outside, all of which could
easily be raised right here. Again
and again I have been shown grains
and vegetables that we would find
hard to duplicate in the States. If
the farmers would band together,
have a common storehouse and '
standardize their products, I am
sure that they would have the hearty
co-operation of the merchants, and
then the million dollars, which in
vioces show that is spent for products
being shipped in and that could be
supplied here, would remain inside
and would swell the growth of Alaska.
“I have enjoyed immensely the tales
of the gold rush days, which the old
sourdoughs have been ever ready to
tell me. I have enjoyed their candid
ness in expressing views of the condi
tions as they see them, with which I
could not laways agree, but I do ad
mire the tenacious spirit which they
have shown by staying here thru the
trials and viscitudes of the Territory
since the days of '98. The fever of
gold will have to give place to the
sounds of the swinging axe of the
land clearer, to the swish of the plow
turning up the sod and the hum of the
reaper* Alaska will enter into its mil
lenium of prosperity when it becomes
self supporting, take pride in its
self-sufficiency and becomes a State.
“The Alaska Railroad is doing much
to help the farmers along the line and
the manager, Noel W. Smith, is in
sincere sympathy with agricultuure
