KTohn Unrton p.vnc, secretary of the Interior, an ner that bythc statement that Alaska's woes are caused by a short W of population. That answer Is also echoed by John Noon, of Seward, pioneer Alaska pro rector, who Is now In Seattle ready to rlsit Philadelphia and other eastern rltlc to urge nation-wide co-opera-Hon In ridding the country of bureau cratic o eminent. "Alaska oilers ,no opportunity for a poor man," declared Mr. Noon today. "I he territorial resoutce arc tied up hr forty-three bureaus, commissions and departments. Few mines ami mills arc operating. A man taking up a 160 tore homestead In Alaska would havo to have $3G00 cash' on hand In order to Hto the first year, for the govern ment In requiring that one-sixteenth of Ibe land be cleared compels the home steader to spend $2000 in the first year for clearing expenses." Mr. Noon cited the vast Matauuska mat fields as nn example, the fields now reached by the government railroad nd wmcii contain an excellent coal lor naval purposes. In the near future it is the hone of the government that this (oal will supply the Pacific fleet with fuel. X inspect the Matanuska fields was one of the chief objects of, the recent trip of Secretary Payne and Sec retary Daniels to Alaska. "A few rears ago there were 400 D ONDS .BOUGHT.
