Suggests One Department. to Administer Laws on Alas- kan Resources. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—An un- @apped wealth estimated at a mini- mum of one hundred and fifty billions of dollars !s contained In the more than 400,000,000 acres of land still held in the public domain, Secretary Fall of the Interior Department says In his first annual report, made public to- day. ‘ Coal and oil form the bulk of this wealth, the total coal deposits b-ing estimated at 110,000,000,000 tons and the of] deposits at 1,825,000,000 barrels, with an additional 60,060,000,000 barrels of shale oll. From the development of these re- @ources the Federal Government, Secretary Fall says, would realize by way of royalties, rentals, &c., a total of $12,387,500,000. Secretary Fall devotes a considera- dle part of his report to reclamation projects and in this connection he urges that “an affirmative strong policy be announced by the execu- tive.” “The necessary advances can be made from year to year without be- coming an excessive burden upon the| |& taxpayers,” the Secretary says, “and ‘aa has already been proven by exper'- ‘nce, one year’s crop upon one acre of reclaimed irrigated ground will be of a value largely in excess of the total amount expended in rendering such acre productive, fegislation, of course the cost of such project will be repaid and meanwhile +@he added wealth yielded will lightan the tax burdens upon all the taxpay- rs of the country." Referring to pending bis provid- ing for further reclamatior. activities, Mr, Fall says that if they are en- acted additional opportunity for labor will be offered the unemployed and et the same time homes made for Discussing the situation in Alaska the Secretary declares the resources of that territory and “the wealth to ‘be drawn therefrom in the future are | [Ey almost incalculable.” “Alaska's resources,” he says, “have eons, among others the lack of trans- portation and largely because of the! [iB fact that these resources are admin- Under the! |B present system, or any proposed | |e istered through some thirty-eight bureaus and various departments of this Government. In my opinion, au- bse 4 to administer the lawa rela- tive to Alaska’s natural ap eos must be vested in some one depa: ment of this Government, that the ace tivities charged with tha administra- tion of such laws may properly co-ordinated. “Transportation is necessary, and the Government han assisted in so far as the construction of a railroad from Sewa Fairbanks {s concerned, which road will be ready for opera- tion within a few months. Vast de- posits of valuable metailiferous min- tral and great coal eines are known to exist and must be made cortetaae 6 the railroad and to const tran purtation, While no extensive oll de ia Jopment has as yet been made, It ts well known to this department that Thdications of valuable oll deposite exist from Point Barrow to the Sew- jard Peninsula. anastasia MINOR DISTURBANCES IN PACKERS’ STRIKE State Troops’ Threat Reported From Two Clties.
