al school boards. The legislature
of 1927 made the office of com
missioner of education elective.
This was again changed by the
Legislature of 1933 and the offi_
ce has again become appointive.
The Legislature of 1933 abolished
local school boards that had here
tofore looked after the hiring of
local teachers. This is now done
for all Territorial schools thru
the Commissioner of Education
at Juneau.
The Legislature of 1933 also
created the Territorial School
Board to take the place, in a
measure, of the local school
boards. This school board on
which each of the four divisions
of Alaska are represented meets
once a year at Juneau.
I have given you some idea of
the progression of steps in Al
aska’s fonm of government and
what is entailed in our present
legislative body, together with
its authority and power.
Statehood for Alaska
I would like to touch briefly on
the ultimate and final form of gov
ernment for Alaska—Statehood.
For a great many years the
people of Alaska have advocated
statehood. This has been the
dream of countless men and wo.
men who pioneered our great
Territory, and should be the hope
and aspiration of every forward
looking citizen.
Alaska today more than shares
the same prospects of the west
ern territories of the United Stat
es before their incorporation into
the family of states of the Union.
Washington, Utah, Arizona and
New Mexico were under a ter_
ritorial form of government for
36, 46, 43, and 56 years respect
ively.
It is not surprising then that
Alaska under a Territorial form
of government only since 1912
has so far failed to enter the fed
eration of states.
Produced 2 Billion Dollars
Alaska has produced up to
1935, two billion dollars worth of
wealth. Unfortunately the wealth
! produced has not remained with_
lin the Territory.
| Since 1898 the extensive dev
elopment of the mining industry
and our fisheries has stimulated
commercial enterprise to the ex_
j elusion of agriculture.
Agriculture Necessary
The development of agriculture
is the one sure road to statehood
—for this means permanent pop
ulation, not the transient one en
gendered by mining and fishing
Lumber in Alaska
Alaska has today over 80 bil_
lion feet of standing commercial
Weather Today
(U. S. Weather Bureau)
Fair skies obtained generally
thruout central and western Al
aska. Some fog conditions were
observed in the Fairbanks and
Anchorage districts. Rainfall
continues over southeastern Al_
aska.
Temperatures were lower last
night over interior and western
Alaska and were below zero over
most of the Yukon Valley; the
lowest reported being —32 at
Nulato at 7 a.m.
Barometric pressure is rela_
tively high over Alaska and low
central near Aitka on the Aleut
ians. This general pressure dis_
tribution will likely cause con_
tinuation of fair weather for
Nome and vicinity for the next

timber .In the past this vast ac
reage of potential wealth has!
been jealously guarded by the
federal government, but the pres_
ent administration seems dispos
ed to open this new bonanaza to
private commercial exploitation
which will give employment to
thousands and cause the creation
of hundreds of permanent homes
and families.
The production of gold and the
canning of fish has not brought
the Territory statehood, neith.
er have they brought the Ter
ritory population or wealth com.
mensurate with the total pro
duct of these industries.
We must therefore look to ag_
riculture principally and to min
ing and commerce secondarilly
to accomplish this result.
Matanuska Project
The Matanuska Colonization
project has brought one thous
and permanent settlers to Al_
aska. Since the advent of this
colony seventy-five births have
been recorded within the group.
There are many other fertile val
leys within the Territory await,
ing settlement and development.
Agriculture—fields of waving
grain, herds in the valleys, gar
dens, homes in the country, child
ren on their way to school—
without these no territory ever
has or ever will become a State.
(The End)
To Butcher Soon
Born in Nome, recently, at the
dairy of M. J. Walsh, was a
young calf. It will be butchered
soon by Herman Hoop, the sour,
dough butcher, and put on sale
at Polets Meat Market. Polets’
will feature this special Veal as
a suggestion for Sunday dinners,
December 7. As there is only
one Veal let us suggest that you
get your order in early, not later
than Thursday evening, Decem
ber 3, so it can be delivered as
soon as their genial butcher be_
gins cutting it up. Only once a
year do we Nomeites get a treat
like this, so don’t miss this op_
portunity.
