Congers Visit Matanuska Colony on Alaska Jaunt Ed. note: Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Con ger of Medford, returned Monday from a trip to Alaska during which, they visited the much -discussed Matanuska valley colonization project. Mr. Con ger's account of the tour follows: Mrs. Conger and myself, with friends from Dallas, Oregon, after at tending the national fihrlno conven tion In Seattle, boarded the S. fl. Alaska to see part of Alaska. We sail ed on the morning of July 18 and two days later, made our first stop at Ketchikan and the third day stopped at Juneau. Alaska's capital and larg est city. After leaving there and mak ing three more short stops, we ar rived st Seward on the Oth day from Seattle, At Seward we entrained for Fair banks about 500 znllea through wil derness with only one town to pass through In the entire distance. This was. Anchorage where we stayed over night, Tralna and stages do not run at night, so when they stop tourist must seek a roost-pole. From Anchorage we took a side trip by rail out to Palmer, the cen ter of the colony district of the Mata nuska valley which comprises 13,375 acres of potentially tillable soil, but now mostly a solid wilderness of small timber consisting of scrubby spruce and birch. Palmer Is the business center of this district and was erected by the government. It consists of a school suitable for about 300 pupils, hos pital with six nurses and a physician, recreation hall, commissary, etc. In the colony there are about 1300 persons. Each family la given 40 acres of tillable land by the government and furnished equipment for putting the land In cultivation. But everything is charged to them at 3 per cent with 30 years to pay. For their necessary supplies they are furnished "blngos" to be used for money. These are also charged to them. In Palmer there are occasional pic ture shows and other amusements and a large bus goea put Into the dis trict and brings those In who care to come. Very few have cars. These buses also bring the children In to school. We were tsken by bus through the farming district. Crops though plant-. ed late looked good. Owing to there! being very little dark new everything planted grows much faster. They tell us that the entire project Is expert- mental, but the settlers seem to be Well satisfied. However, my personal opinion la that the cost of putting the land In cultivation and the value thereof after it la cleared will make the value of the adventure question able. From Palmer we went again by train stopping for the night at Curry wnere there la nothing but a hotel owned by the railroad which in turn la owned by the government. I asked the brakeman If they had a headlight on the engine why they didn't go on to McKlnley station. He said they never ran at night, so we got off and again went to bed while It was yet daylight. Next day we arrived at McKlnley government park. Had a good view of Mt, McKlnley, the highest mountain In North America, 30,300 feet, saw some caribou, mountain sheep and grizzly bear, stayed all night and slopt In a tent house, the bast ac commodations they bad, and next day continued on to Fairbanks, 3600 population and third town In size In Alaska. It was there that Will Rogers and Wiley Post landed before their fatal trip to Pt. Barrow. I talked with the undertaker who prepared their bodies for the return to Los Angeles. We were taken about 40 miles north by auto and saw mining on a large scale. Dredges and hydraulic mining were In operation 34 hours a day and they were large ones and plentiful. We were taken then about 80 miles from the Arctic circle. After staying three nights la Fair banks, we took the motor stage over the Richard bo n highway, the main highway of Alaska and In the. first day'a travel, I saw only one car on the. road. We had 13 passengers and never picked up or let off any one on the entire trip to Valdes, nearly 600 miles. Ac Vsldez we boarded the S. S. Yu kon which was two days late. When It did arrive It took on 33,000 cases of canned salmon and 36,000 barrels of herring. Everything In Alaska Is on a one-horse scale except fish canning. mining and prices. Never saw any paving except In Juneau, Ketchikan and Seward and that was very limited. Leaving Valden we had rough water for two days and there was plenty of room In the dining room. I, however managed to get all my meals and keep them. After getting all the fish on board we sailed far &lx days and reached Seattle August -8 and. on August 10. arrived In the garden of Eden, Medford. $100 FINE LEVIED E M. P.
