State Editors.
—
SEATTLE, Jan. 2 2.—“Real con
servation is a stranger in Alaska
ami has been unknown front the dat ■
I of the Seward purchase,” Gov. Scott
■ C. Rone told 400 guests assembled at
j the Alaska Products Dinner at the
t'niv rsity Commons last Saturday
! night. The dinner was the closing
! feature of the State Press Associa
tion's annual convention !^td was at
i tended by Stato editors and their
wives and prominent citizens of both
I Washing: >n and Alaska.
The menu was composed entirely
(of Ala: kan products. Included on it
I were blueberries from Juneau, bread
Irom grain grown and milled in the
I Tanana Valley, reindeer meat, vege
tables, yrawberries, salads built
|around red salmon. The dinner was
I arranged under tlte auspices of the
1 Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
Alaska Is Misunderstood.
Governor Rone addressed the
guests in part as follows:
‘‘Alaska is the least understood, tiio
most generally misunderstood, of all
I the civilized countries of the world.
; In tne mind's eye it Is a froze i, ico
' houi.d, glacial upheaval and loi ma
II Ion, unfit for habitation save by
Esmmos and polar heaps. In actual
| ity «nd fact it is the very antithesis
of tnat mental picture. The feast
'here tonight, an Alaska feast in toto,
j attests the truth. Alaska is an in
! viting ijnd in all Its aspects. Its
! summer climate all along the coast
j is virtually the same as that of the
I’ngot Soun 1 and the average winter
[temperature is comparable to that of
[St. Louis and the Mississippi Val
i ley. In the Interior the summers
[are warm, often as hot as in Western
[Washington, and the winters are no
[more severe than in iiie Rocky Moun
tain and Northern states. Only in
j thef Arctics is frigidity encountered
| and even within the Circle the mere
1 ury rises to the 90s in midsummer.
uniruins rirmiy impiantea
“It should no! bo necessary lo re
Rt a I« and reaffirm these facts, but
j tin.truths as to Alaska have become
so firmly implanted in the public
I mind that iteration and reiteration
become necessary to dispel fancy and
supplant it with fact.
“It is a common saying that every
thing can be grown in Alaska ex
cent cotton, corn, beans -and melons.
This statement does not do the Ter
jri'.ory Cull justice in excepting beans
and melons. Your Yakima and VVe
, natchee Valleys have nothing to fear
I from Alaska in fruit growing, but
berries of ail varieties thrive antaz
, Ingly and there Is an abundance of
| soil near tidewater as rich and fer
tile as .that of your famed Puyallup
| Valley, d Mr. Paulhamus mSy not yet
view with alarm the prospect of Al
askan competition, but the berry
growing and berry-canning industry
ef the Northland is certainly larg:
in possibilities. Alaskan vegetables
! are unexcelled. A country fair held
j in Juneau in September disclosed as
• fine products of garden and field
ja3 could be raised anywhere o.
; earth. Native celery and lettuce ar
I unrivalled in any ciinf. Wheat equa
1,0 the best Minnesota grade is grow
i !n the Tanana Valley. There ha
been but one crop failure in the 2'
i rears of agricultural development It
I Alaska. What state of the Unioi
can equal that record?
Sustain Large Population
“Alaska can easily sustain a popu
ation of a million people—possibl1
en million—out of the products ol
its soil and waters and the game o
t3 forests. Yet the strange anomalj
3 presented in this 20th century o
that resourceful domain today num
bering a scant 60,000 souls! Mor
>vor, save for its fish foods, Alaska
Iraws upon outside markets largely
tor the necessities o? life. Only ar
infinitesimal fraction of the 100,001
square miles of agricultural land h
under cultivation. This is something
for you gentlemen of the press to
marvel over and consider upon your
return to your desks. Efforts are
now under way to bring about a
transformation of the Northland, and
I crave your support and aid toward
that end.
“I am a conservationist. I be
jieve in conservation of aU om

more a conservationist after a year
anil a half in Alaska Conservation
politics has been a blight to Alaska,
j but conservation-real conservation
i -is a stranger to Alaska and has

"From the vast forests of Alaska
for the fiscal vsir 1020-21 timber tc

sold. Think of that dent in the re

Palp and paper mills are assuredly

Hoarding Is Waste
“Hoarding is waste. For half a
century Alaska lias had tills wast

| Mean while, and with no outcry o
, protest, the fisheries ot Alaska, sav
i for the seal herds, have bean ex
