ALASKA WILL DEVELOP
OIL ON A40MMERCIAL
BASIS SAYS BROOKS!
- i
Col. Alfred H. Brooks, who has had.
charge of the Geological survey work
in Alaska since 18t»8 and who has]
spent twenty summers in the territory j
at a meeting of the Juneau Commer- \
cial club the other day urged the peo
ple of Alaska to think of Alaska in
territorial terms rather than to local-;
Ize issues and problems.
Dr. Brooks also declared that Al
aska should be governed in Alaska,
and approved the proposal to establish
an Alaska Development Board to ad
minister the Federal resources within
the Territory.
Dr. Brooks said that when Secre
tary Payne took office his knowledge
of Alaska was very meager but that
his visit to the Territory has opened
his eyes. He has, at least said T)r.
Brooks, gained an accurate conception
of the size of the Territory and now
he realizes that it is a pioneer coun
try and must be helped. He declared
that the new Secretary is a man who
can and does act quickly when ho ar
rives at a conclusion.
"It is unfortunate,” said Dr. Brooks
"that unc num's information and i»pin- ,
ion should mean so much to Alaska
as it duos in the case of the Secre
tary of the Interior, because Alaska
should Is- governed in the Territory by
those who understand it." But ac
cepting conditions as they arc. Or.
Brooks expressed his pleasure that
the Secretary of the Interior had in
dorsed the idea of the Alaska Devel
opment Board.
Secretary Payne recognizes that the
great need of Alaska is population,
said l»r. Brooks, and he will do all
in his power to encourage people to'
come to the Territory.
Dr. Brooks said that In his opinion
Alaska will develop oil on a com
mercial basis . While it is ssiid only
■trilling will demonstrate whether the
Territory possesses one or more great
oil fields, the indications are that oil
•will be located in commercial quanti
ties In Alaska. Tt is his opinion that
■>iI will be located in sufficient quan
■til.ios.tM supply the local demand and
for eviort, and that there is a stror.g
possibility tha* a great oil field will
be located.
That «Ahtska has great quantities

"As I traveled with my family thru

I said Mr.. Hamlin. "I could ritualize

“Probably every ipemon in America
woukl like to visit Alaska because of

hardships. When these things nre
