NOTHING THE MATTER WITH
ALASKA SAYS ART J8HONBECK
A A. Shonbeck, former well known
oldtimer of the Interior but now set
tled down jit Anchorsin passing
through Valdea the other day, gave
vent to a few pleasant thoughts.about
Alaska.
■“There’s nothing the matter with
Alaska,” said Mr. .Shonbeek, “but
there is with a .few of the people who
make their living up here and then
go Outside to spend their money.
Business is good up here, and as a
matter of fact it’s .been getting better
every year since 1003, when I first'
came North. I .attend to business up
lfire, and if I go Outside it's on busi- 1
ness, and .just as soon as that busi- i
ness is attended to I oome back. .You 1
can say for me that my business is
better this year than it was in 1931,
and that in 1931 it was better than it
was in either 1931) or 1929. There’s
been no depression. here, and there j
won’t be one. We .produce fbodstuffs i
and gold, and God knows that is what |
you birds Outside jieed, and there’s rve
letup in the demand for either one of
them.
“The only trouble we.ihave ever
had is it seems like when some sim
ple-minded old dodo Outside can’t
find anything else to. meddle in he
wants to come North: and try . to run
a country that’s been getting ; aloqg
and going ahead steadily for the last j
fifty years,, and if he happens to be 1
any kind of a political aecident, or
have a politicali pul!.at :headquarters, j
he gets someone to listen to him, and
we have just one more ..handicap}
thrust upon us. but we always .handle j
it. Sure, Alaska is all right.”
