Dear Friends: —
Having been in Alaska three
months I will endeavor to give you
some of my observations of this land
of silence and mystery.
Perhaps a few words about Alaska
in general would ba of interest to
some.
Alaska is about ona-flfth the sise
of the U. 8., with a while popula
tion of about 20,000 and a native
population of about 30.000.
*
It has many varieties of climate.
Ito chief industries are mining for
coal. gold, copper; fishing for sal*
mon. halibut and many deep sea fish.
Agriculture is receiving a great
amount of attention, Wheat, corn
and vegetables are raised in abund
ance in the vicinity of Fairbanks
The U. 8. bureau of agriculture has
an experimental station at Fair*
(tanks to further this work.
Fox farms are very numerous.
The government leases an island to
any person wishing to start a farm.
Reindeer farms are encouraged by
the government and it bids fair to
become one of the leading industries
of Alaska. Much fur is secured by
trapping.
A man from northern
Alaska has brought >30.000 worth
of furs to Ketchikan for the Xmas
trade. The furs are many different
kinds.
Some are fox. ermine,
otter, mink. Hudson seal and beaver.
It is a well known fact that Alaska
has paid for itself many times since
>7,200.000 was given to Russia for
it m 1867.
The government is putting a rail*
road from the coast near Anchorage
into the interior fer the reason of
large coal mines to be worked and
the product sent by rail to ocean
thence all over the world.
Ketchikan has much the same
climate as the Willamette Valley
I htsusc of the Japan current wash
mg its shores. However, it has it
listen on the amount of rainfall,
which is usually 14 feet during the
year. During storms here oilskin
coats are no protection, the rain go*
mg through the coat.
We have
heavy frosts but little snow. Skating
is unusual, but it happens to be
g>Mid just now. A skating party
left the schoolhouse at 3:30 p m..
walked about lj miles to a lake; it
was dark when we got there, but
put on our skatee and had a fine
time. We could not build a fire
t>ecause the spruce trees around
aliout the lake would not burn. We
had a few flashlights id help along.
Twilight, however, ud here lasts a
long time. The reflected light is
very beautiful on the hills and on
the water.
All the entire length of the inside
passage which reaches from Seattle
to Skagwav is dotted with rocky is*
lands. The hills eome down to the
water's edge, so boats must travel
slowly and follow their charts care
fully. Lights are all along each
side of the passage, the same as
along a lighted city street. This
inside passage is open all winter for
travel, but above Skagway rivers
frees? over snd travel must be done
by dog team over trails
The sun comes up about 8 a. m.
and sets about 2:30 D. m. We often
burn electric lights all day at school.
Ketchikan is the headquarters of
the Alaskan lighthouse service, the
U. S. forestry service and the first
customs port.
Alaska has a cable service from
Seattle to Sitka and branches to
other coast towns. In the interior
telegraph lines are used while Nome
has a wireless service.
So you see that far away Alaska
is in close touch with the doings of
the world. We get all the latest
news in the two daily papers that
are published in Ketchikan. We do
not care to read the newspapers
from "the states" because by the
time we get them the news is old.
