EDITORIAL PAGE
ONLY A HALF TIU'TH
Iu the May number of Munsey's i
Magazine, Jmlsou C. Welliver under
the caption of "Alaska; Land of;
Opportunity," gives a lengthy write
up, profusely illustrated, of this
northern country. Mr. Welliver's
article, as far as it goes, is all
right, but the iminensLy of tiio
task he undertook evidently over
shadowed his powers of observation,
description and illustration, for
it deals almost exclusively J
with tho Southwestern and
Middlewestern portion of the
territory, and hardly inases men-;
tion of tho Southeastern part, which
is, ia reality, the most <>i» uiising in
many ways of the whole vast area I
of which. he treats. Now, do
not misunderstand us, f'-r while \v j
are in no way trying to detract |
from any portion of Alaska in com-j
parison with the Southeastern part,
we believo we are safe iu the af-1
firmaiion that in no other portion j
o£ the territory, in au aiea equal in
extent to the long nan aw strip !
which is embraced in whjt is known
at Southeastern Alaska, is there
the possibility of as great returns
from certain industries as there ii
here.
Iu this couuectiou we refer more
particularly to the exploitation am!
development of the immense ore
bodies which have already been dis
covered aud are of prowu richness,
and which will be pouriui; out their
golden treasures long alter the
placer fields have been worked out
and practically forgotten.
Mr. Welliver, also ii. s several
illustrations of iuterio" Alaska
horticultural and agricultural scenes
His information along these lines
seems to have been furnished by
Prof. C. T. Georgeson, in charge of
the experimental station at Sitka.
*vhose time since his appointment
to that position, appears to have
been mostly taken up in finding
enough soil around Sit k:: to give
his experimental farm a small
semblance of what it is intended to
be; and as that very learned gentle- j
man has during his tenure of!
office seen fit to almr.st totally j
overlook the most fertile, and pro
lific spots in the territory- -i. e. the
sections around Skaway, Dyea and
Haines—it is hardly to bo wonder
ed at that a person who was simply
making a tour of the country, as
was Mr. Welliver, should fail to be
more explicit.
Air. Welliver says: "Cue private
gardener (presumably of Fairbanks)
is credited with producing half a
ton of cabbage on a. half acre of
ground in the season of 1K10."
In 1913 Roy Gault v> Skagway,
produced 2500 pounds ol potatoes
on less than one-fourti-einh of an
acre of ground, or approximately
17^3 tons to the acre.
In 1913 H. D. Clark of Skagway,
produced and shipped out over six
tons of as line celery as was ever
grown anywhere.
In 1913, in Haines, one man grew
0,000 quarts of strawberries for
Bhipment, besides Jill those he sold
for home consumption; others rais
ed and shipped 1,000 sacks of rut
abagas, 150 sacks of potatoes and
about one ton of cabbage.
In addition to the above, iu Skag
way especially, almost every family
has its own garden patch in sum
mer in which is grown all the veg
etables used.
In concluding his article Mr.
Welliver says;
"No presentation of the facts
concerning this new Alaskan era
would be either comple'.o or just if
it omitted acknowledgement of the
great services rendered to his con
stituents and to the nation by James
Wickersham, delegate in Congress
from the Territory. It has been tho
peculiar good fortune of Alaska that
In its pioneering epoch It was able
to command the services of a man
who can combine all tho elements
of practical statesmanship in the
| measure that Mr. AVlQkCrsham has
proved himself to possess.
"•Mr. Wlekersharj first went to Al
aska when Mclviiiley was President,
being appointed by .Mr. McKlnley as
cne of the Federal judges in the
Territory, lie knows Alaska today
belter than any .'ther map in the
world, lie had the first real vision
of the wonderful tuture that is now
so manifestly assured.
"The government railroad system
will open the door of opportunity
to Alaska. After thai, tire pioneer
ing quills ot' the race which has
carved this country out of a wilder
ness, aud has done most of the
work in a little over a cjntury, may
be depended upon to give Alaska
i ho place it deservs and is
splendidly worthy to occupy among
:lie great new dominiins of the
world."'
