Iditarod Igloo Wants
Best for Old-Timers
To give Alaska’s Pioneers the host,!
und to make the remainder of thi>
world's trail as pleasant as possible for
them, Iditarod Igloo of Pioneers at a!
recent session adopted the following
resolution:
“Be it resolved bv Iditarod Igloo, !
No. 10. Pioneers of Alaska:
"Whereas many of our brother Pio- i
Meet’s, old timers of Alaska, who havej
been continuously in Alaska nearlj I
twenty-live years, and have given the
best part of their lives to the prospect
ing, development aod betterment of
Alaska, constantly battling against the
rigors of our extreme climatic condi
tions, and are now getting weary of j
the struggle, and ready to eDjoy that j
rest which they have well earned and |
are justly entitled to;
“And whereas siyne of our brothers
have failed to acquire sufficient of the
world’s goods to enable them to give
up the struggle, or to enjoy their well
earned test,:
“And whereas our Territorial gov
ernment has provided a ‘Pioneers’
Home’ at Sitka, Alaska, for those of
our Pioneers who are eligible for ad
mission and who care to avail them- j
selves thereof;
"And whereas, while t.he said Pio-j
neers' Home is a means whereby our j
brothers may find free rest from their i
labors, yet it does not exempt them
from the rigors and hardships of out
extreme winter climate, and many of
our brothers do not care to sojourn at
•Sitka, but would rather have a change
to a warmer climate;
“And whereas the United States gov
ernment maintains several institutions
known as Soldiers’ Homes, which are
distributed throughout and situated in
various parts of the States—homes for
our soldiers who may see fit to abide j
thereon all of which soldiers’ homes
are most pleasantly situated, both as to '
climatic conditions and environment;
that said soldiers’ homes are large and
are by no means fully occupied, but

have jllei.t.y <if room for others, if ar
rangements would be made for their
sojourn thereat.
“And whereas it is greatly to be de
sired that, if possible, our Alaska Pio
neers should nave the comforts, priv
ileges and advantages of a warmer cli
mate, and it is suggested that some
arrangement might be made between
our Territorial government and the
federal government, through its proper
departmental officers, or through spe
cial authority of Congress, that our
brother Pioneers might be permitted,'
instead of entering the Home for Pio
neers at Sitsa. Alaska, to sojourn at
one of t he many soldiers’ homes in the
United States, or such of said homes as
might be seasonably available to them, !
linancial arrangements therefor to ne
agreed upon between the said Terri- j
torial and federal officers;
"Therefore be it resolved, That our
Governor and Delegate be requested to
communicate with the appropriate offi
cers of the United States government;
to the end that our brother Pioneers
may have access to some one or more
of the said soldiers’ homes, if so de- ;
sired by said Pioneers, instead of at!
the Pioneers’ Home at Sitka, Alaska;
that linancial arrangements therefor'
be negotiated between the Territorial
and Federal governments, as aforesaid.
“That a copy of these resolutions be j
forwarded to each of the other subordi
nate igloos of t he Pioneers of Alaska,
and to the Grand Igloo thereof for in
dorsement, approval and adoption.
“That copies of these resolutions be
also forwarded to Governor Bone at
Juneau, Alaska, and to Delegate Dan
A. Sutherland at Washington, D. C.,
with the request that they each take
su^h appropriate action as may be nec
essary it) accordance herewith.”
Oil Reserve, Colville
River to Arctic Ocean
Washington. -In announcing the
withdrawal of twenty million acres of j
land in Alaskn, for the purpose of!
forming a new naval reserve, an an- ;
uouncemeut from the rnterior depart
ment states that the section set aside
occupies the northwest corner of the
Territory, between the Colville river, i
on the east, and the Arctic ocean, on
the west and north.
The reservation order refers to oil
and gas only, and does not interfere
wii'.i the use of t he land fo" other pur
poses.
The lands affected will be reserved j
for a period of six years for classifies- j
tint) and preparation of plans for devel
opment, and thereafter, until the Pres
ident or Congress otherwise orders.
The order establishing the reserve
also sets forth that large seepages of
petroleum along the Arctic coast of
Alaska, together with conditions favor
able to the occurrence of valuable pe
troleum tields there, makes this action
advisable.
