Although new colonists will not need government aid, Delegate Di- mond said good roads must be pro- vided to aid them. “Pioneering is now being done but the pioneering period will be! short. Not only is the growing of field and root crops financially successful but the colonists are proving dairy and beed cattle, hogs and sheep can be raised to advant- age,” said the Delegate. “The Mat- inuska colonists will continue to need assistance for time but as more land is cleared the need will diminish. A ready market will be found right at hand and as the permanent population in Alaska in- crea: the demand will increase.” Delegate Dimond paid the Mat- anuska Colony two visits last sum- mer.

LATHROP IS IN JUNEAU ON WAY SOUTH Declares Alaska Has Had Most Prosperous Year —Leaves on Norah On his way to Seattle where he spend the next few months, on business in connection with his various enterprises in Alaska, Capt. A. E. Lathrop, prominent business man with interests at the Committeemart, arrived in Juneau today on thef PAA Electfa from Fairbanks.. Captain Lathrop will remain here; sails! until the Princess Norah southbound Wednesday. “Alaska, from Nome south, has L\pel"l enced an exceptional year,” Lathrop said. “Of course, this is due largely to the excellent season experienced by gold mining operators throughout the country. Naturally every town, and every business in every town came in for its share of the increased prof- its. “Furthermore, all the earmarks are that next year will bé another big year for the Territory. Dredge operators are getting ready for in- creased production, putting in new dredges, increasing their operations Capt. Lathrop, who last week 'warned the Chamber of Commerce in Fairbanks against too many SOS calls in regard to the maritime strike, repeated his warning. “There is nothing to be afraid of up here,” he said. “We won't starve. In the Interior and the Westward merch- ants have tremendous stocks of ods on hand. I think it is better ‘o let the employers and longshore- men fight out the strike without influence from us in Alaska.” Capt. Lathrop owns among his various enterprises, newspapers, canneries, moving picture theatres 'and coal mines, and during the years he has lived in Alaska has done much to develop its reseurces. He is planning an extensive building pmgram in Fairbanks next year. He was enthusiastic over his trip rrnm Fmrbanks on the Paa Electra . “I can hardly believe I am hcrc, he said. We left at 7 o'clock this morning, and had a smcoth, sunny flight. It was 15 de- igrees below zero in Fairbanks.
