Extract from address by George E. Baldwin of Val
dez, to the American Mining Congress, Chicago,
October 27, 1911:
EVERY RIGHT MINDED CIVILIZED MAN ABHORS WASTE
PARTICULARLY OF SOMETHING THAT CAN NEVER BE RE
PLACED; BUT THE DOCTRINE THAT THIS IS THE LAST
GENERATION OF INVENTORS ANT SCIENTISTS THAT WILL
LIVE AND THAT THE MANY FORCES OfIuATURE NOW GO
ING TO WASTE, COMPARED TO WHICH ALL THE COAL
FN THE WORLD IS AS A TALLOW DIP TO A THOUSAND
ARC LIGHTS, THAT THESE SOURCES OF POWER WILL
NEVER BE HARNESSED BY MAN, AND THAT THE PRES
ENT GENERATION MUST BE STARVED AS WE ALASKANS
ARE BEING STARVED, WELL—WORDS FAIL ME WHEN I
ATTEMPT TO EXPRESS MY OPINION OF SUCH CRIMINAL
FOOLISHNESS.
THESE LAMENTING JEREMIAHS WHO MOURN OVER..
THE EXHAUSTION OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES PAY
ALL THEIR ATTENTION TO THAT SECTION OF THE COUN
TRY WHERE THE POPULATION IS SPARSE, .WHILE THE
RE80URCES IN THE SECTION OF THE COUNTRY WHERE
THE POPULATION 18 DENSE ARE BEING U8ED AS CIRCUM
STANCES DEMAND WITHOUT. ANY OF THEIR VALUABLE
ADVICE AND A8SI8TANCE.
ONE OF THE PROBLEMS OF OUR NATION IS TO - RE
STRICT THE PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY FROM CONGRE
GATING IN THE CENTERS OF POPULATION; YET THESE
RADICAL CONSERVATIONISTS DEMAND THE CONTINU
ANCE OF AraD EXTENSION OF, A SYSTEM WHICH IS DE
POPULATING THIS TERRITORY, IN WHICH AT PRESENT
THERE IS ONLY ONE HUMAN.BEING, MAN, WOMAN, CHILD
SIWASH SQUAW AND PAPPOOSE FOR EVERY SEVEN
THOUSAND, SEVEN HUNDRED ACRES.
ALASKA IS BEING LITERALLY STARVED TO DEATH.
WE HAVE FOREST RESERVES. MILITARY RESERVES,, ONE
OF THEM ONE HUNDRED MILES IN DIAMETER, COAL RE- ;
SERVES, FISH RESERVES, NAVAL RESERVES, SEAL RE
SERVES, BIRD RESERVES, AND I SUPPOSE BY THIS TIME, !
BUG RESERVES, AND CRANKS CRYING FOR STILL MORE
RESERVES.
