Before Alaska’s Future Can Be Planned There Must Be Central Control B U E N A V IS T A Clint Cole and wife, accom panied by Mr. Linn o f Oregon City, visited at the home o f Mr. Cole’s sister, Mrs. R.

FALL, Secretary of the Interior The big questions in the development of Alaska are outside and above politics. They have to do with policies that will make Alaska more accessible, that will open the way to the development of resources now locked up and that will invite settlement. Between 1910 and 1920 the population of the territory decreased 15 per cent. The population today is only 55,000, against 65,000 in 1910, and the decline has been in the pioneering white settlers. Difficulties of transportation form one of the big gest barriers against Alaska development. We are now dependent wholly on boat* operating out of Seattle. Inside Alaska, transportation conditions arc no better. We are building a Tailroad up there, but it begins nowhere and ends nowhere. In my judgment Alaska should be connected with the United States by an all-rail route through Canada. One of the big possibilities for Alaska is the development of a paper industry. Properly safeguarded, Alaska could supply us indefinitely with an amount of [taper equal to that which we now import from Canada. But there again the transportation barrier controls. Alaska’s coal fields are another source of great possible wealth. We are now developing mines there for the production of coal for the Pacific fleet. But perhaps the greatest barrier to getting anywhere with Alaska is the fact that at present half a dozen different government departments and bureaus have charge o f various functions there, and there is no co-ordina tion and co-operation in plans for development. Before Alaska’s future can be planned for and effective step« taken to tap her rich resources and open them to the people, there must be some central authority in control. Personally, I believe that should be vested directly in the President THE LUCK OF LOCAL NIMRODS The Wells threshing machine company finished th resh in g last week and Cleve Prather will finish this week.
