territory.
Health Regulations.
We recommend thai I he |ii»v
erninent provide adequate facili
ties for promoting the health of
the people of Alaska, and that it
establish and enforce, adequate
quarantine regulations.
Aid for Destitute Whites.
There is no provision for oll'i
cial care in Alaska of destitute
white persons, or persons of mix
ed blood, unless they he lirst con
victed of crime or adjudged to be
insane. We therefore recommend
that the sum of ten thousand dol
lars for each judicial division of
Alaska be s<*t aside annually b>
congress for this purpose; pro
vided, that any sum in each di
vision unused each year be cov
ered back into the treasury, ami
that the local administration ol
this fund in each precinct be un
der tin; direction of the United
Slates commissioner.
Aids to Navigation.
We recommend that a revenue
cutter equipped with life-saving
apparatus he stationed in I'rinct
William sound, and that addition
al lighthouses, beacons and oth
er aids to navigation be installed
along the coast of Alaska.
We also urge that the niilitar>
cable oM'iees in Alaska be kepi
open hours each .day to aid
! navigation.
I
Prospectors' Home.
We recommend I hi; erection
and maintenance by tin* govern
ment of a suitable home in Alas
ka for I lie care of bona fide pros
pectors, who, by reason of age 01
the consequences of their expos
ures and hardships in I his ter
ritory, are unable to provide food
arid shelter for themselves.
Commission Qovernment.
We are unalterably opposed t«j
the government of Alaska by any
appointive commission, and we
are also opposed to filling any of
fice in the territory by the ap
pointment of any but an actual
resident.
Land 8urveys. ^
To encourage and aid settle
ment of the agricultural lands of
Alaska, we recommend that the
public land surveys be extended
to the territory. At this time
the expense of the private sur
vey of a homestead is so great
as to be a burden to the home
steader, and operates to prohibit
any extensive settlement of agri
cultural lands by homesteaders.
Mineral Lands.
We are opposed to any change
in the mineral land laws appli
cable to Alaska which would stif
tle individual efTort. We therefore
condemn any and every logisla
liveo proposal lo retain title in
the government to the metallifer
ous doposits of Alaska, and make
tenants of the miners and pros
pectors whose independence and
daring alone make possible any
development of those resources.
Huch a policy enacted into law
would banish miners from Alas
ka and practically depopulate the
territory.
We respectfillly.suhinit that the
foregoing recommendations aro
all of interest, to the nation, and
especially to the citizens of Alas
ka; that past errors and delays
committed and omitted by Alas
kans and by the legislative and
other departments of the United
States government, have been the
eause of waste of Alaska resour*
ces, And have in a measure de
[stroyed the benefits which Arnor
lican citizens inherited through
• the purcliti.se of the territory, that
if this policy of indifference, in
action, delay and want of intelli
gent, definite purpose is contin
ued the development of Alaska
will be paralyzed for au indefinite
period.
Wo therefore insistently urge
that the foregoing recommenda
tions, all of vital and immediate
necessity, he given prompt con
sideration by congress.
