Now Sherman Says Alaska’s AU Right
ASHINGTON.—What’s the mat­
ter with Alaska? “Inadequate
and costly transportation/’ says
Dan A. Sutherland, the Alaska dele­
gate in congress.
"Too much red tape,” says the In­
terior department, which would take
over the administrative functions of
ail other departments pertaining to
Alaska.
“Absentee government landlordism,
divided departmental control, and
hampered restrictions of development
of natural resources," says Representa­
tive Curry, chairman of the house com­
mittee on territories, who is pressing
for legislation to place all Alaska re­
sources at the disposition of a resident
development board.
W
President Harding and his cabinet
have devoted several sessions to dis­
cussion of the Alaska problem. The
house committee has held extensive
hearings on the Curry bill.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
dispatched E. A. Sherman, associate
forester, to Alaska, early last summer
to investigate the alleged retrogression
of the territory.
Mr. Sherman has
just returned and submitted an elab­
orate report, declaring that Alaska
is suffering from nothing more than
its share of the world-wide hard times.
Ail the industries of the territory, he
reports, are doing as well as if not
better than the same industries else­
where.
"In the face of such a showing,” the
Sherman report concludes, "one mar­
vels more and more at the origin of
this report that Alaska is on the down­
ward grade. I would like to know the
true inwardness of that idea. The
growth of our northland is now a
steady growth, in which the resident
Alaskan, and not the promoter or
underwriter, is being the chief bene­
ficiary. That seems to me to be most
desirable.”

The ‘ Block Signals
Are Working_
In some respects, human experience
is like railroading.
Every moment of the business and
social day the block signals are giving
right of way to keenness and alertness
—while the slow and the heavy must
w ait on the sidetrack for their chance
to move forward.
The ability to “go through” and to
“get there” depends much on the poise of
body, brain and nerves th a t comes w ith
correct diet and proper nourishment.
That's w hy so many choose Grape-
Nuts for breakfast and lunch. Served
w ith cream or milk it is completely
nourishing, partly pre-digested, and it
supplies the vitpl mineral salts so
necessary to full nutrition.
Grppe-Nuts has a rich, delightful
flavor, is ready to serve on the instant
—and is distinctly the food for mental
and physical alertness and speed. At

The Chisholm mine is in a heavily
tim bered district, at a n ’elevation of
17 60 feet. About $45,000 has been
spent in its development. In part,
the ore is a prim ary constituenf of
the norite country rock, and the vein
deposits were probably derived from
the ssm e source. That is, magmatic
waters, after concentration through
crystallization of the main magma,
probably carried the ores, sim ultan­
eously concentrated, into fissures,
and there deposited them with other
vein-forming m atter. At this mine
there is no evidence th at surface
w aters have produced any im portant
effects; the veins are not leached
or oxidized, and there is no indica­
tion of secondary enrichm ent by
'meteoric w aters.
