But not-this year. “Very little of the recent rains, which were light, remained on the surface. They were soaked up by the exceptionally parched ground. “Livengood Placers, Inc., is run- ning a telephone line from the dam site on Mess Creek to the town of Livengood, a distance of about seven { miles.” - NEW 'I‘ELEPIIONh DIR/ECTORY To be issued Sept. 30 and forms close Sept. 15.“For space, listings and changes please call Junéau and Douglas Telephone Co., phone 420. adv, y PO THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1939.

The xeport of Undersecretary of the Interior Har- ry Slattery summarized by the national publication and illustrat by a map locating the Territory resources, The Time account does not men- Alaska Time this is tion the refugee settlement pro- al which Secretary Ickes mad in releasing the Slattery report. Under the heading “Territories” and entitled “Defrosting,” the Time . article is as follows In 1867 Alaska was called “Sew- of ard’s Folly” and “The the North” because Sec of State William Henry Seward bought the land from Russia for $7.200,000 (7c per acre) and everyone inhabited by wolves and Es- imos. only Moral Obligation Last week Under Secretary of the Interior Harry Slattery defrosted the Ice-Box of the North. In 94 packed pages he réported to Secretary Ha old L. Ickes that the planned d velopment of Alaska “is an inescap- | able moral obligation” of the U. S, that its 590,884 square miles are the “last frontier,” that U. S. sconomy and national defense demand large-scale settlement, preferably by public-purpose corporations such as the East India Company that developed India for Great Britain, the Plymouth Company that de- veloped the Indian-infested wilds of Massachusetts. Although no hot-lipped trumpeter like his boss, Under Secretary Slat- tery released a report full of tall | talk in Technicolor, pausing occa jonally to put the blast on antique U. S. misconceptions of Alaska (see | {map). He found: Less than 3 per cent of Alaska is| under ice and snow. Some towns (Juneau, Sitka) are cooler in summer, warmer in win- ter than St. Louis, Chicago, York City. Sweden and Finland are in the same latitude as Alaska 14 Miles Cultivated Alaska has 65,000 square miles table for farming (30 per cent of that only for grazing), yet in 1930 had only 14 square miles in cultivation. Besides its known riches of gold, silver and copper, Alaska has the | only . U. 8. tin deposits. ‘The Territory is a feminine para- dise; 228 males to rach mo females (U. 8. 108 to 100), 6 per cent of the men are ovcr 35, mprm‘onb- ing the residue of sourdoughs who never left the trail. Fresh milk costs 25c per quart, bread usually 25c¢ per loaf, gasoline 35¢-per gallon, imported timothy hay $75 per ton, local hay $30—$40. Old Alaskans have never seen a wolf pack, do not know anyone who has (counting a pack as more than five, which is a family.) Mosquitoes Coastal mosquitoes are few, but those in the interior bad. Oldfim- ers swear you can’t tell mosquitoes | in the interior from ducks, unless you know a lot about ducks. In Southeastern Alaska five miles of tidewater ,enough tim- ber can be cut annually. to.supply one-quarter of U. 8. newsprint needs, in perpetuity, without dent- ing ‘the forests. In 1938, the 60,000 people in Al- aska bought $42,000,000 of U. S. products—more than Czecho-Slo- vakia, Denmark, Hungary, Ireland, Norway, Switzerland, Poland, Fin- land, Portugal or Spain, all coun- tries with much greater population, and only slightly less than Russia and Brazil.
