the GOVERNOR'S MESSAliE
Tho Annual Message of Governor Scott C Bone Is before liie public
In Alaska and the States. In another section of the Alaskan will be
found selected portions of this long aud very interesting document.
There is an optimistic note in the. message which will cheer the hearts
of those, whether Alaskans or not, who are interested in the Xutura of th.s
northern territory,..
The first section of the menaage would in itself comprise a message
most worthy of note It has the meal of the whole matter within iia
limits. There is uo getting around the fact that Alaska has proved fa-er
latent and recoverable wealth; there is a further fact that great ignorance
or willful misunderstanding of the facta has and does militate against U'Jr
n ore rapid development. But not all of this is governmental, for Alaskans
themselves contribute largely to the fostering of these misconceptions.
When such a large percentage of Alaskans spend their winters, and
their money during the winter ic the States, and when almost non) think
ot Alaska as tlieir horns state K If certain to retain much of what has gone
on for these past twenty-five year*.
And so long as fishing, and summer mining is the main business of
(he territory, it is difficult to see how this can be remedied. If Tho Gov
ernment Railroad, opening up as it does the large agricultural tracts of ri>e
Interior, does not bring to the territory permanent agricultural people—
one naturally raises the question as to how It is to be done? Reference is
made to Americans crossing into Canada, it is true, but they are agricul
turists. not miner*.
Aud Americana going to Canada would never wait sixteen years; to
secure title from the Government lor ;heir land us men have done In Al
aska. Here, the Governiy speaks of tilings which should be enlarged
i.pon. Alaskan lands could be given away to any mail who will come here
cud settle and prove up his land and bring his family here, thin could be
done with profit to the Territory and the United Stales. Aud men can do
well here, probably get on far better than they could In tbe early days ol
the states.
Skagway is particularly Interested in the question which the Gover
nor takes up under the heading: "River Transportion Problem." The
Governor iguors the fact that the A'hite Pass and Yukou Route Is still
running steamers to the mouth of the Yukon river from Dawson. I't
taken the R.R. and subsidiary Company at its own estimation, when ho
states that they are interested only In transportation as far as Dawson. For
with the completion of the Government Railroad, tbe White Pass Houte
discontinued its river servk* on the Tanana, which would have connected
it with the Government Railroad and mado through routing from here a
possibility. This is certain to come and the first step has been taken to
ward its realization, the Governor's recommendation ane» the President's
provision in hit Annual Budget of $50,000 for connecting up the Yuk n
v. ith the Government line, thus serving the whole of the Territory
This may cut slightly into the number of tourists which return by
Skagway. but it will also increase the ingoing passengers by as many as
are lost of those returning via Skagway.
Further, the White Pass aud Yukon Route is the logical and natural
company to get thia river service. If they can see 4tbat It will be advanta
geou* for t.em to have it. „ They, have the boats, they have the system
v orked out, know its costs and lt* risks and a.ive therefore in a position to
present to the Government a tangible proposition, which should be bene
ficial to the Road, to Skagway. and to the new Government line and es
pecially to Alaska as a whole, for this is the superior interest when all has
been said. But it always works out JLhat .what benefits Alaska, benefits
every line of transportation coming.into Alaska.
The Governor emphasizes the Tourist Travel Feature, which today is
one of Alaska's great assets, not only ^ th.e money fiey leave In Alaska,
but the means thus afforded of dispelling ignorance of Alaska throughout
the states.
There Is little doubt that It the many Bureaus, operating in Alaska
ere consolidated that better government and far bettor results will be se
cured. But will they? That is the question which has been up for years
Does Alaska need a ilusaollni?
EARNEST WORKER PASSES
In the death o( Dr. L. S. Keller, pioneer citizen and newspaperman of
Skagway. both the Territory and that town loses one of its most valued
citizens and earnest worker*. He believed in the future of his town and
of Alaska and showed his faith by his works. He maintained the Skag
way Dally Alaskan on a high plane as one of the beBt newspapers of its
size in the Territory, preaching always optimism and hope. Even in the
days of deepest economic and industrial depression he did not lose any of
his faith that time would overcome all handicaps and eventually both Skag
v.ay and Alaska come JntO their own.. _
The North needs men of his type and can ill spare them. His place
iu his home town and in the Alaska circle of newspapers will be hard to
till.—Juneau Empire, D«c. 4. _
Secretary Davis advocates thb abolition of the Railway Labor Board.
What! Abolish an office? Never. What is government for if not to
supply offices for the faithful?—(Houston Post.)

J 16,457.37? Canned salmon was
the principal export !n respect to val
ue and totalled $1:1,000,000. Copper
ore was second worth $991,000. and
Scotch cured and salt herrins third,
worth $306,000.
A new ore strike In the Iditarod
district has been mado, the quartz
reported to assay from ?140 to $1,
7 3S per ton. The new strike is at
lh$ hesd of Slon Gulch and Slate
ctfek r.nd 309 tons of ore will be
taken out for shipment to a smelter.
Th« Alaska Department of the
Chamber has received a supply of
the tine new illustrated folder of the
Alaska Railroad. Besides time cards
the folder contains fine maps and a
i number of views of Alaska cities and
I scenes along the route of the road,
making it attractive to users and
i prospective tourists.
With a total of more than twenty
million dollars representing Alas
ka's output fur the past 60 days the
territory gave the most encouraging
sign of its Industrial comeback.
While the canned salmon, as is usu
ally the case at this time of the year,
represented a large proportion of the
total, other Ashing products shov
up handsomely and lead off with
jne million dollars worth of mild
cured herring. Mljerals represent
ed more than two milllou. The pub
lie knows more or less about the fish,
minerals and furs, but among the
unusual shipments of the last twe
' months are noticed ouch items as be
luga hides, seal skins, i\*ory and
reindeer carcasses frozen. South
eastern Alaska coast lod other sec
tions on acount of (he large propor
tion of the miscellaneous products
and showed the greajest Individual
increase. From Bering Sea came var
ious ore brought down from the
Canadian Yukon which cannot be
classed as products of Alaska, but
which find it expedient to ship by
way of St. Mlchaiel. Also from this
I section came the reindeer, walrus
| and whale products.
Showing a remarkable revival, Al
aska's trade with Seattle for the first
ten months of this year totaled 209.
145 tons, a gain of US,000 tons over
the same period of 1921.
The S.S. Brooksdale recontly un
loaded a shipment of 30,000 seal
skins at Seattle for the United
States Bureau of Education. The
skins, valued at $25 to $50 each,
with a total value of approximately
$1,000,000, are the prope-ty of the
United States Government, which of
fers them for sale at the St. Louie
fur show.
The Chamber has received advices
from J. C. Dort, assistant engineer
of the forest service that plans are
making for the construction of a
plnnt to furnish 3,000 horsepower
for cities at Anchorage and vicinity.
Stockholders of the Alaska Fur
Sales Company of Seattle, meeting
at the Arctic Club authorized immed
iate action to complete organization
of the company. It is understood ar
rangements have been made to fi
nance the company and that its or
ganization will bring more than $! ,
000,000 worth of new business from
Alaska to this city annually. The
meeting was called by Charles D.
Garfield, secretary of the Alaska De
partment of the Chamber of Com
merce.
Eleven thousand barrels of Al-vka
