Areas, of Tillable Farm AMI DA'AnanoH lln - LiailU Will UO VJiivj '-'HJ Says' A, H. Bryant,, FOOD SUPPLY IS PROBLEM Xttl of Faraanant Mract lUamn . Zaa Saaa By On Who is Familiar ' With situation. 1 Th construction of the proposed Alaskan railroad by the government will prove . of Immense benefit to Alaaka and to Ore (ton and Washing ton aa well, according to A. H. Bryant, a mining man of Valdez Creek, who arrived from the north recently, and will apend the winter In tha United Btatea, r Incidentally he remarked the rail toad will open up vast areas of tilla trie farm lands. Alaska's greatest trouble he, says at present la to find a suitable food sup ply. . In thin connection It has been frequently pointed out by The Journal that Oregon produce is shipped to Seattle by rait, thence northward by teamshlp. when the same shipments could be made direct from Portland if permanent water transportation were established between thia port and the northland. ', Greatest Froblam Seen. "Alaska's greatest trouble at pres ent," states Mr. Bryant, "is to find a aut table source of its food supply. The jteountry la rich In natural resources. 'but the few. people who populate the district bave their attention attracted by other projects, and agriculture is neglected. Every steamship arriving In the north la loaded with vegetables 'from the states, but long shipment, natural ageing and refrigeration all haVe a tendency to decrease Its qual ity, especially If it must be transported 'inland. Alaskans, while accustomed to hardships, are neverthelesa fond of : good food, and their greatst problem at present Is to obtain It. ; "Until a few yeara ago all the meat couaumed In the coiuitrv was im ported, but it was finally discovered .that the cattle could be raised on the grassy nlains of the Knik and other districts, and the meat supply of the country was' greatly Increased both in quality and quantity. A little effort .In the agricultural line has also been . made, but It 1s not carried on in suf ficient quantities to benefit the coun try a great deal.'f - Boad Za Awaited. ?"Tha coming of the railroad is an event which is awaited with anxiety by the inhabitants of the north. Miners feel sure that It will open fields of operation haretofore un touched, especially in the rich Broad Pass district which has never been ex tensively worked because of the diffi culty of shipping the ore to smelters. 'The road will undoubtedly pass through this country. '"Another great advantage of the road will be that a large number of people will be brought to the country both to operate the road and to settle. Theae people must eat and it will soon Vbe found that commodities cannot be Imported fast enouvh to feed this host. "With thousands' of acres of farm land available on which can be raised any thing temperate climes produce, the ' necessity of home production will soon be seen and farmers be encouraged to ' enter ,the country. Grain, vegetables, berries and fruits can all be produced, w and with an extension of cattle rais ing, there la no doubt that AlasKa will be practically independent."
