Harding Says Nothing Is Wrong With Alaska (Cnlilinilnl from I'hko Two.) lain to comp and in numbers v.e do rot now dare predict. They will ^^ctrry their description to every quai ™r of the globe, and will send others to view and marvel. Thus will tie accomplished the greatest work lor building the Alaska of tomorrow. Some of the visitors will love it and remain; t^hers will believe in it, and send theiVineans to develop it; none, having seen it, will ever again ques tion its place among the wonderlands of earth. “Problem" Will He Solved.” “ ‘The problem of Alaska,' has been dinned into our ears a great deal at Washington. Somehow, in Alaska, one does not hear much of It, or feel acutely conscious of its exist ence. In Alaska, one gets the feel ing that the sturdy, vigorous and highly intelligent people of the terri tory, under the leadership of otir old friend, Manifest Destiny, .will solve the problem. Alaska Is our one twentieth century frontier, hut it will not continue such to the halt way point of the century. "There has been much misunder standing, no little misrepresentation and some disposition to hysteria at times about Alaska. It long since passed beyond the wild west mining camp stage and is as sobered, settled and normal a community as will he found anywhere. But the rich and picturesque literature of its earlier epoch has carried a mistaken impres sion down even into our times. Soapy Smith and White Horse Rapids, tlie looting of Nome and the burden 1 of the far northern winters give color to Alaska's picture in minds that have not been impressed by the pres ent community of homes and schools and churches, of railroads and roads and motor cars, of law ami order. Tho summer time of unending daylight and glorious luxuriance In all the realm of things that grow, is entitled he placed alongside tho picture l^of winters no more severe than many people In the northern states have experienced." Future for Fur Industry. Mr. Harding, before concluding hts address, declared: "Alaska is well on the way to an enormous expansion in its fur product and, what is far more significant, to making this product as permanent a source of wealth as are the cotton of the south or the corn of the midwest,” and said lie doubted whether "if anywhere an aboriginal people has been so fast as similated to civilization, industry, in telligence and education as have the Alaskan Indians. "The federal government's processes have not paralyzed, but rather have promoted the right, sort of Alaska development." he concluded. "The territory needs their continuance; some of them, as already indicated, on a more generous scale than in the )>a.«t. We have been paid back many times for every dollar spent on Alas ka and the dividends have only be gun. We ought to shorten the line ■ f communication ns much as%po*.i Me between Alaska and Washington and to bring about tile closest co operation and understanding between ilie national agencies which operate there and the splendidly efficient ter ritorial government which, under Governor Bone, has deserved and holds the fullest confidence of the people. "Mine is pride and faith in Alaska. Villi our rational helpfulness, with our Justifiable generosity. her people will work out the destiny of the en chanting eiuiare and turn a wonder land of riches and Incomparable fas cination to added power and new glory to our great republic.” Bee Want Ails Produce Kesuits.
