DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT DESTROY.
There is nothing new under the sun, and
biatoiy ri peats itself. Where are the timber
and the game and the natural resources of
the remainder of America which were hers
in the yesteryears? done with the buffalo,
and us ruthk.-sly destroyed to make a holi
day for u thoughtless iieople. Now all the
vest tracts containing natural wealth arc in
Alaska, and the Outside grafter is after it —
and tin prodigal Alaskan wishes to give it to
them for the belief and pieayunish immed
iate "drop-in” exploitation’s activity may
give the local feller. They have practically
destroyed our fishing industry, which was
once the greatest natural resource in that line
the world has known. They did destroy our
i aHng industry, the richest the world lias
known, and the Government Is now nursing
it back to life with a nursing bottle. They
tore the placer wealth from our land su far
as they had time to deplete the rich spots,
and spread the tailings over the ground
thereabout until the ground was good for
nothing. They were > busy exterminating
the growing timber, the flowing oil and the
burning coal of the Went that they didn’t
have time to bother about our vast forests
and coal and oil deposits, but now that the
West is depleted of easy destruction in nal

m-i\ Northern Industry.
(Dawson News.)
An excellent illustrated report in pamphlet form
dealing with Hie reindeer, murk ox and caribou herd,
of Canada as pro pective sources of meat supply on
a large trait for the Dominion has just been issued
by the Federal Commission which sat some time ago
in Ottawa. The report goes exhaustively into tlie
subject, giving tlie statements of many prominent
Norblic-rntrs. including several Yukoners, as to tile
extent such herds now exist in the North and the
nieces obtained In the domestication of the animals.
The experience of the United States Government
In introducing reindeer into Alaska 13 given much
space. Tlo rep rt on the whole is of great interest
to those vitally concerned In the development of the
nerthern portion of Canada. From the statements
of the man qualified men who appeared before the
ccmmii ion, there seems little doubt but what the vast
areas from Hudson Hay to Bering Sea in time will
become < f great economic value as gracing lands for
domesticated herds. As the lands far to the south
become appropriated for farming purposes by the ever
increasing population, the northern lands will he
looked upon with more favor as the last great graz
ing range, of the continent.
The i tahli: liment of transportation routes through
the North will aid greatly in the development of the
grazing industry. There must he a way to get meat
products ,s well as mineral and other products of a
country to market. Illustrative of this fact, the rein
<!c-,r owners of Alaska already have begun to move
their herns toward the new Alaska railway. An
ticipatory of the new rail transportation facilities,
i.lltid reindeer have been driven from Nome to the
SiiBitna and Nenana valleys, paralleling the new Al
aska railway. These herds will form the nucleus of
; n annual deer meat supply to he routed conveniently
to Seattle, and distributed from that point. Former
ly reindeer caress es could he shipped out of Nome
i nly during the short season of navigation.
it is a comparatively short time since Alaska im
ported her first reindeer, and now they not only art
supplying many K.-kimn and Indian tribes with meats
hut are helping feed the whites of Alaska, and kern
ing the money ai home in the North. Canada’s in

Transportation in Alaska.
(Seattle Times. 1
Placing tlie construction of roads and trails and
hi’ operation of the Government Railroad in Alaska
under one head should help both activities and make
( mi re efficient their service to the Northland Road
w°rk in Central and Southwsetern Alaska
: 111,1 1 11 ' I'lmiNid so as lo promote traffic for the rail
road and make available to residents in those regions
i 1,le use of the steel trampcrlation system.
Railway operation, no doubt, will disclose instances
uhi re branch rail lines will be superior to roads and
";uls iin'1 111 »«ch cases, with all work directed by one
|0ftnc, there will be no duplication of expenditure hut
; In lead the adoption of the better idea. In coordinating
; transportation activities, the railway will be trans
'erred from the Interior Department, which has had
iharue of the system's court ruction, to the War De
l par: incut which always lias exercised control over
i on Us and trails.
Tlie work of building the railroad began In 1915.
i Except for tlie bro-adgauging of titty-five miles between
1 Nenana and Fairbanks the system of -lit miles it cont
i plctcd. Its cost totals $62,000,000. Throughout the
period of construction, it has transported freight and
pus enger. to the extent of its facilities. it* traffic
i lias steadily increased, but receipts have not yet
: initialed operating expense Except ler a period (lur
ing the World War, Col. Frederick Moors. present
i licit' of the Railway Commission, has been actively
I "iigaged in the construction of the system. lie has
bien eminently successful in solving difficult en
j gineering problems and in administering the affairs of
'lie enterprise. His work has evoked the highest
Praise. The railroad is a monument to his probity
land ability.
The Alaska Road Commission, which ha* directed
,! id and trail work and which will operate the rail
«a> was constituted by Congress in 1905. During its
xistence it has expended $6,687,309, built .8,T4 miles
; 1 I '. 'ls and trails and constructed numerous bridges,
jtirri .- and tramway- Maj. James (5. Stecse, chief of
,l>" <’< mmi.slon, will take over tlie railway from
i Colonel Mears.
('■ irdination of transportation faetilities and ac
Itivilies will simplify Federal appropriations. Hereafter,
lure will be but one fund With the completion ~nf
the railroad and the necessity of building feeders,
ICungri-s will be asked to authorize a ten-year road
build ng program involving an expenditure of $10,
(100,000. The ten-year idea was first suggested in
1915, but tlie financial demands of the railroad lim
ited appropriations for roads and trails. The compre
hensive plan now r.hould receive consideration.
Development of Alaska's resources depends on
making them accessible by Improved transportation
