Kingsberry, special emis- sary of WPA Chief Harry L. Hop- kins, to the Matanuska Coloniza® tion Propect, passed through Ju- neau Tuesday on the steamer Al- aska, refurfiing from his investi- gation of progress in the colony. While here Mr. Kingsberry called to pay his respects to Gov. John W. Troy Mr. Kingsberry spent seven days lin the Matanuska Colony, and | while' there visited fifty-one homes | of the settlers and investigated the community activies. He also con- tacted the older residents of the| valley in order to get a complete | idea of the project from every an-| gle | | In remarking on his findings,| Mr. Kingsberry declared the pro-| gress of the: colony to be quite amazing up to this stage of its de- | velopment. Having some first hand knowledge as to the difficulties in| getting the project under way he| considered that the work com-| pleted so far as extraordinary. He |found the colonists on the whole | {very loyal to Ross Sheely and the| | full staff of colony directors and| | with few exceptions they, by their| lown statements, were satisfied | with the progress in clearing, build- ing and organizing the community affairs, hopeful for the future and! encouraged as to their own pros- pects. Such criticism as he encoun- teerd was all of the constructive| type. Only three of the fifty-one | interviewed had any complaint. Market Possibilitias | | Mr. Kingsberry's special purpose| for Mr. Hopkins was to investigate! and determine market possxhilmes‘\ for the products of the colony, and | it is in that that he found the pro= |ject’s greatest difileulty lay. “In| my mind, the greatest question mark | !in the colony’s future is in the de- velopment of markets,” he said.; “After an investigation of all fi-| gures concerning the trade area| along the line of the railroad, it is my opinion that there is suf- ficient market for all of such pro-| duets as the colony will produce for| sale. All depends on the proper| organization of distribution facili-| ties and sales promotion. I found| |that the merchants of the sur-| rounding areas imported such pro-; |ducts from the United States, be- |cause heretofore they have been| unable to rely on the local pruduc-; ers for them when they are need-| ed. The colony's marketing or- ganization: must convince the mer- chants that.in the colony lies a stable source of supply. In my op- |inion, onceé a stable marketing ar-; rangement is arrived at—markets for the colony’s produce will be no, longer a problem.” i Mingle With Coionists | While among the colonists, Mr.! |and Mrs. Kingsberry had dinners, | |suppers and teas with them, ate {blueberries gathered from the sur-| rounding hills and salmon caught| |and prepared. by~ them from the {Knik River. “I was much surpris- led at the plenty of everything that | they ‘enjoyed,” he s$aid - “Their dairying was late in getiing start- |ed, but the dairyman is there now,| | installing equipmeént and getting the dairymen organized.

Also, Mr. Sheely’s family has been a great help to him, being very pop- ular among the colonists. “One thing I noted among the colonists was their- desire to pay off their indebtedness as soon as possi- ble, and the fact that they had great confidence in their prospects for so doing.” This is Mr. Kingsberry's second trip to Alaska, having been as far as Juneau thirteen years ago. “It is a wonderful country and the trip through the Inside passage the most, beautiful in the world—I have made them: all,” said Mr. Kings- berry. - “Fhere should be many more tourists ‘eoming all the time. One of the great drawbacks of the trip that I eneountered among my friends in the East—the long trip acrass the United States to reach Seattle—is. now . overcome by air| travel. <Air service from Alaska to Seattle would -aid greatly.” Mr. Kingsberry was raised in Se- attle,.
