Tht* announcement of Mr J. L. MfPherson <»f the Alaska Bureau
i» liis recent communication to the. Nome Chamber of Commerce re

structive governmental policy and centralized administration of affairs
In Alaska, along lines that will result in the utilization of <)Ur resources
to create permanent local industries, and bring about an increase in the
permanent population and the establishment of an nlarged stable
His message also requested the Chamber of Commerce to make
known its views regarding such policy and administration and provide
data concerning the necessary road and trail construction requirements
of the district.
The suggestion was also made tluu the Chamber of Commerce se
cure the opinions of other organized bodies in this locality regniding
the proposals mentioned.
It will occur to all who have given attention to the subject of Alas
kan affairs tliat this means an unprecedented opportunity to lay the
development requirements of this section directly before the congres
sional committee’s which are the leading arbiters of the territorial des
tiny—the very men who a re* most able to provide tin* assistance which
must be forthcoming if the district Is to prosper and reach tin* high state

Tliis is the opportunity we have been .seeking for years and we
should take full advantage of it. It‘presents to us not only an un
exampled opening for Impressing uiion congress what we need in the
line of material assistance to make the district a populous and highly
productive section, but also enables us to assist in bringing about
•i change In the present system of iwtmlnisUnting Alaskan affairs from
far away Washington and centering it where it rightly belongs—in
Alaska.
Aftei years of seemingly hopeless waiting, opportunity is knock
ing at our doors and every citizen should take heed. The Chamber
of Commerce Is contemplating a public mass meeting aimed at secur
ing tbo widest possible range of views and suggestions concerning what
we need and what we Want to improve local conditions.
This meeting should he attended by every adult citizen. Every
organization in the city should participate by sending delegated rep
resentatives. If wo wish to go ahead, now is the chance for us to
prove it by laying aside nil selfish and personal interests and working
liand tin hand for the good of all. We have laid before us the oppor
tunity to talk to congress direct. Let us use it with all the force and
effect possible.
