DON'T WASTE IT C
rOTEMlAL ALASKA
Gov. Strong, iii it recent report,
makta a pita for more liberal laws
iu opening the natural resources of
Alaska. Coal, oil, timber and po
tential »attr power are just now
items of some importance to the
United States a'?U its people. Says
Gov. Strong:
"The coal ar»as oAlaska are
capable of sullying sufficient coal
fur all domestic anil industrial pur
poses of tlic l'acific coast region,
and if the oil lauds o£ the territory
could be properly deveopedl they
would largely uud to the uupply of
gasoline. * * * iVliat has been said
of the coal ajd oil lands applies,
out not with the same force, to
the timber and water power. Alas
ka possesse a number of the
finest jvater oowers to be found on
tlwj Pacific coast, only a few of
which have ever been utilized in
any way. There are billions of
feet ol timber suitable only for
wood pulp."
Even with ll;e partial locking up
of its great natural resources, Al
aska last year yielded a mineral
output valued at $51,t»t>0,000, of
which approximately So0.0uu,i»i»u
wa« ia copper alone. Lead, tung
sten and tin, low urgently sought
in the markets of the world, are
being produced in Alaska in increas
ing (juantity. Four distinct fields
of petroleum have been delimited,
i*it await developnmt, while the
world supplies of oil are greatly de
pleted, and the American govern
mental orders iiave decreased the
supply of gasoline and enhanced
its value.
AKias.3 is like a strong box lull
of treaure, tae key of which has
Ceen thrown a way. Laws have
been, oagsed in recent years t'nat
mad« Bom© portion of the great
natural wealth, available, la coal,
oil and some e ther mineral produc
tion the law yet imposes such res
triction as to keep private capital
out o£ the field Much of the min
eral wealth of the great territory
may now be placed in the service of
man only through governmental de
velopment, and there is thus no use
of it except for governmental pur
poses.
The great coal deposits of the
territory are comparatively untouch
ed, except for preliminary work
in procuring government supplies
■jid small development work by two
or three private concerns.
Congress might give profitable at
tention to the passage of such laws
*s would attract private enterprise
to Alaska resources. Resourc
es contributing to the national war
needs are just now of as much im
portance as armies and ammunition.

THE WEEK
IN SOCIETY
LX A BE ECM WOOD
A golden arch abov© my head,
A path with jrolden carpet spread,
Each side the golden mantled trees
Soft singing iu the faint sweet
breeze,
Down-fluttering leaves in goldeaj
showers,
A sold gleam of witch-hazel flowers,
And dazzling my uplfted eyes,
The sunlight in the golden skies;
What magic spell haa compassed
me?
What strange new world is this I
see? 1'
