hope in pulp and paper
DEV ELOPMENT.
It ie conceded that the material development of
Alaska dept ndr upon Rating more people in the Ter
lltory, and it must lie admitted that people will not
come to AU. ka in'the manner that caused the rapid
growth of the agricultural States in their earlier
days. The difference in the conditions is so obvious
that comment is uuncu t. sat y Population in Alaskit
mutt follow the development of industries -mining,
hilling, pulp and paper manufacturing, lumbering, |
fox raising, etc.
The hope for large population gains in the near I
future for Alaska Her, in the promise of pulp and paper'
development in this section of the Territory. It Is
ttiimMcd tha' Southeastern Alaska's forests can be
made t? iftyduc In perpetuity 1,000,000 to 1,600,000
itper annum. That would mean the
poiimBoyment of from 30,000 to 46.000 people
In tfi1lP*1ndustry alone, and an addition of several
times that number to the total population. The I
development of the pulp and pape* business of South-1
eastern Alaska would create a market lor Alaska'
producers of agricultural and other products, and
thus continue additions to the population.
If the Government can do anything toward hast-;
cning the development of the pulp and paper Industry
In Southeastern Alaska, It is evident that it will help:
the situation Immensely by doing it. And it can!
hasten it. It cun give long term contracts for the
tale cf timber at a stipulated price that is, it can
'eliminate the five-year revaluation clause in the con-,
tracts that are now offered. It may he said that this1
would mean that in the later years of the life of a!
AiniUrL tho pmc'u-cr would be getting timber for
much Ires than its market value. Probably that is
true. That is otto of the attractions that would
make It easier to gt: capital for the development of
the Industry, and the Government’s profits would
come through the development. It would profit !
through the incrc.u d market that development would
make for the products of the State. It would profit
through inerca d coast wire iraffie. It would profit
tbrouflh the inert arc in the income and other taxes
that would flow into the Federal treasury.
t'nurod re urces are of no value to the National
Government or in the people of the country. The
country's gain from the reaaources always comes
through their development.
MAY THE INVESTIGATION TROVE
FRUITFUL.
It is very much to bo drain d that the investiga
tion Of the Ala-ha lirhcries by Senator Jones, t'on
giesemaft Hadley and l ulled States Fish Commissioneri
O’Malley may result In the presentation of a program
to Congees.-- that will prove acceptable. The day!
that we have the assurance that the* fisheries industry1
of thie Territory is being conducted on a basis that will {
itiFuro its permanency will mark an epoch in Alaskan
devclcpnirnt. The resulting sense of security will goi
a long way toward creating satisfactory confidence in
the future of the country and dispelling a tort of rcst
lersnet-" that will not down when llsli is uppermost
in the mind.
In rpite ,i.f all the criticism of the Presidential
proclamations creating llshcries reserves, the establish
ment ot the fishing zones. The Umpire believes that,
unless Congiess meets the situation with satisfactory
legislation, the policy adopted by Secretary Hoover fa
the Bering St a and Cook Inlet regions, and approved
by President Harding when he issued the proclama
tions, should bt extended. The need for action is
pressing and the time to act is now.
OBVIOUS NEEDS.
Observation cf conditions in Alaska should make
the need for a capitol building In Juneau and the
location of a lain! office here plain to the President
and the Secretary ot the interior. By the time they
complete their trip through the Territory it will
be evident to them that lhis city Is the center of
kite mo t populous section of the Territory, the section
ot greatest development. More than half of the
assess title pi open y if the Territory is located in tho
First Division. More than half of the school children
cf the Territory, more than halt of the hunk rer ittrces
and half of the incorporated towns are here. This is
a section of the Territory that did not show a de
cline in population between JitlO and 1H20. It
produces more gold and silver Ilian any other region,
and in it there is more mine development in progress
tliun anywhere else. There are more than double the
number of entries of pas.- tiger and mail boats in the
ports of this section of Alaska than in those of the
rert of the Territory. Southeastern Alaska is thel
center of the fast developing fox farming industry, I
and it murt b;t the center of the pulp and paperl
but ini 3 when that shall come.
INDIANS MUST ADJUST THEMSELVES TO
DEVELOPMENT.
Certain people who are represented to be spokes
men fpr the Indians of Southeastern Alaska contend
J\‘ the ealnton traps are depriving the Indians of
tb« •pportuntty of livelihood. In other words, these
flpokt'sint'ii would represent that the Indians ol Alaska j
should be permitted to earn enough during tiie short
season that salmon are running to support them
throughout the year. These same spokesmen are con
tending. too, that the Indians are entitled to the
full rights of citizens including the right to vote
and tints to help tire running of the Government.
If the Indians of Alaska are to become civilized
citizens of the country they must be taught to adjust
themselves to tlie commercial and industrial ways of
the wliile race. They must he tcught to work in
concord with modern development. White people
cannot make enough in Bixty to ninety days to sup
port themselves a year. Those who can have curceose
from laboi for sixty clays of the year are the lucky ones.
A dltsluguished soldier once upon a time pet*
petrated the grim witieisni that "a good Indian is a
dead Indian." That was a long time ago when"
prejudice* ran on high gear. However, it is not ■witi
cieni to say that a good Indian is a working Indian.
It is just as true as the fact that a good white man
is a working white man. li the Indians are to
lln.it their earning dav? to Bixty a year there is
likely to he more appreciation of the old warrior's
epigt am.
But the contention o? these so-called spokesmen
for the Indians is not borne out by the facts. Indians
in Alaska do not have to earn enough in the short
Ashing season to subsist for the year. The Indians
are working at other vocations. Just the other clay a
road contractor declared that if it were not for
Indian labor that he had been able to procure he
would not he able to complete contracts he lias on
his hands. Indians are working the mines, and at
many other tbdngs, side by side with white men.
W&AT THEY CAN SAY.
Visiting newspapermen, if they want to make note of
pcmtthing in which Juneau leads the world, might
till tluir readers that Juneau lias the gold mine
producing the greatest ore tonnage of any gold mine
in America, that It mines and mills ore at the smallest
cost per ton of any mine in the world (about 41
cents a ten), that the mine is juet outside tlie city
limits and the mill within the city itself. The
Alaska Juneau has solved low cost mine production
for the world.
The temperature :n Juneau .Saturday and Sunday
was higher than at any of the towns on the Pacific
Coast reporting by telegraph to the Juneau Weather
Bureau Office. Sunday it was 18 degrees warmer here
than at San Francisco, 20 degrees warmer than Port
land and Seattle was beaten by 8 degrees. And
our gentle tain yesterday was not a marker for the
downpour in North Dakota. That is not an unusual
situation at all. It is typical of the last six weeks.
Alaska can grow only with the development of
her natural resources. The development of natural
resouces in Alaska requires capital. The best way to
get capital for investment here is to treat the capital
already invested fairly. Good dividends on Alaska
investments is the best inducement that can be
offered to the man with money and disposition to try
some!hfhg different.
Due of the growing industries of Southeastern
Alaska is fur fox farming. There are now' 150 slocked
fox farms in this section of Alaska, and the stock is
increasing at the rate of 250 to 800 per cent, per
annum. Perhaps there have been more small fortunes
made in fox farming than any one industry in South
eastern Alaska during the last few years.
Monuments of Old New York.
(New York Post.)
Within a month New York has seen its oldest
and most famous restaurant and its oldest news
paper disappear into the wallet in which Time places
alma for Oblivion. Delmonlco's was not quite a
century old, while the Globe had celebrated its 125th
year. Very few newspapers in even the Old World
<< uld claim a longer career than the journal which
Noah Webster founded. In London, for cxumple,
only the Morning Post and Times go back further;
in Paris only the Journal des Dabats. On the other
hand, Europe has many restaurants of fame which
date back, like the Cheshire Cheese, to many decades
before the foundation of Delmonlco's. Noth the
Globe and Delmonico'e made important contributions
to American civilization. But while nobody would
underrate the service done by tlie restaurant which
made a finer art of cooking and hospitality, nobody
v.ruld compare it with the service done by the
newspaper which has just disappeared. To show
rev era I hundred guesls a day bow admirably Pilot
Soli Delmonico, Cotelottee d'Agneau Perigourdine,
and Sorbet an Maraschino may be served is a less
ruble function than to furnish several hundred thou
sand readers with accurate instruction and enlight
ened poinlon. Then why lias the passing of Del
men ico s called forth the more regret from those
who love cld New York instittuions?
Part of the reason, of course, lies in the fact
that people always think of a newspaper as a con
temporary. It i» to tile Globe's credit that people
ltgrct it as an institution of today, not as u inonu
n.i nt of times past. In part the reason lies in the
uniqueness of Delmonlco's. After all, we do have
halt u dozen Manhattan newspapers of respectable
antiquity, whereas Delmonlco's was tlie only Amer
ican restauranT" that was famous and fashionable
in stage coach days. But when all is said, we can
not vbid admitting that in some way* the stomach
surpasres the head as a seat of monmj^y. To hear
our oldest surviving citizen recall how pleasant or
irritating they found the Globe’s views on Hariton’s
election Is much leeuj interesting to us than to hear
them i oral I how Delmonico s used to prepare roast
duckling wiht pommee persllles and how excellent
was their Mcdetra 182:t.
