Even further North, where the ‘Winters are rigorous and the breath of Winter fastens its icy grip on the inlets and bays along the coast, fish- ing can be carried on under condi- tions similar to those on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland in the Win- ter. As to the resources of the fish. eries, he declares they are boundless. Mining Activity Increased. Atded by completion of the Alaskan Rallroad, gold mining companies are showing increased activity in rework- ing old diggings where previously ex- plored pockets have proven commer- ctally unworkable by old methods.

Back in Washington, where he was unexpectedly appointed governor of ka 11 months George A. Parks, chief executive of Uncle Sam's northernmost possession, brings to | the Capital 2 message of cheer regard- ing Alaska’s future prospects and the Jossibility of enlarged competition of Territory with industries native to the United States and Canada X months as governor of Alaska, he succeeded Scott C. Bone on July 1, have given the new Territorfal exec- utive a broader grasp of the affairs of the region with which he had had surface grasp previously “Surface grusp” is literal for the new governor was chief of the far. vanging group of General Land Office employes who travel over Alaska’s un- bounded domain year in and year out, until February 14 last when Secre- tary Work threw a bombshell into the placid Parks existence by sending his name to the Senate as « nominee for governor of Alaska Bombshell to Parks. To Parks it was truly a bombshell for he knew nothing of the intention of the Secretary of the Interior to name him administrator of Alaska before noon of February 14, quite a departure from political practice, which ordinarily has all the details arranged and the post made clear to the nominee-to-be befors his name is actually sent to the Senate. George A. Parks, whose experience with politics had been meager up to that time, took the afternoon off and walked in the wind-swept spaces of Potomac Park to think the thing over. On the heels of the discussion pre- cipitated in the House Wednesday by GEORGE A. PARKS. Representative Treadway of Massa- chusetts, who asked whether the Fed- eral Government should relinquish “paternalistic” ald of the teritory, Gov. Parks brings to Washington a message of enlarged spheres of busi- | || ness enterprise in Alaska, increased activity in mining precious metals and the hope that Alaska will soon be in a position to compete commer- clally with paper mills in this country and Canada. Parks is new at the governor busi- ness and does not want to take issue with a United States Representative. He met Mr. Treadway in Alaska last Summer und regards him very highly. To the assertlions of the Massa- chusetts member of Congress he simply says, “Perhaps he has been misinformed.” A mild answer for a two-fisted, §-foot-3 individual of whom lurid tales of bravery on trall and glacier in the snow-bound fastnesses of the north have gone about. Parks believes Alaska can be, in addition to its great salmon produc- tion, one of the great centers of world fisheries development. The southeastern seacoast of Alaska, he The Hechinger Co.
