.Whatever the pest „rid/stakes may
have .been, wheu you alight Ifican the
train or bus at Palmer, the Valley's
Principal town, you can see that -one
day this is going to be an impressive
capital. In a loose quadrangle around
a park there is a large sohool-as
well staffed and equipped as'the best
in the States. This is likewise true
of the hospital. There is a dormi-
tory which eventually will be an inn
when more homes for nurses, teach-
ers and ()theta are ready. Scattered
beyond the quadrangle are oo-opera-
tive buildings, machine shops, a big
hatchery. and the other buildings of
an up-to-date farm colony. The s.chtiol
is the center of social activities, with
clubrooms and a huge auditorium for
movies and dances.
The colony is scattered over more
than 10,00 acres and its 170 families
live in' warm, comfortable, inexpen-
sive hotises. The original pioneers
lived in tents during the summer and
fall while the houses were _being con-
structed, and 75 families quit then.
Hand-picked families to build up the
present number were selected from a
long waiting, list, now said to total
15,000.
"It's working out here like every
place where you git a thousand peo-
ple together," Peter said. "Some man
is better than other man. Some nev-
er done working. There's that Mrs.
Novak:' she has a family, but she
finds time to drive a taxicab, work in

Was the girl who opened a beauty
shop while her mother and father
worked on their tract. There's more
than a dozen families self-supporting
already. Pretty good, eh, for people
who were on relief only three years
ago!"
If Matanuska is a part, however re-
mote, of the national defense plan, if
it is the beginning of a farsighted
scheme to husband resources, it is
obeap; for it has cost, altogether,
scarcely mare than the price of a
modern destroyer. Purely ori relief
grounds, it is not easy to justify.

,This is fine dirt, Mister!" said
Peter.
It was moist and dark, with rich
hints of fertility -in it lay the bounty
of the centuries.
Makta,' this wife, came near and

was tall and slim and young, and

This was ithe picture you carried

from droaght and dust storms, a place
where by honest toil they could make

This year will be momentous for
the colonists of Matanuska. The
purse strings in Washington are clos-
ing; Matanuska is on its own -to go

ogy or to flourish as a milestone In

The uprooting four years ago of a
thousand men, women and children,
the transporting of. them more than
3,00,0 miles to a new world, was spec-
tacular and controversial. The pil-
grims were called Cream -Puff Pio-
neers; there were fights and sickness;
delegates were actually dispatched to
Washington to charge, parsimony. In
those days the shirkers and home-
sick, the unfit and the misfit, had not
yet departed to give a: clear view of

Colony of the 245 that were chosen.
Laymen often wonder why distant
Alaska was choaen.-with initial costs
of transportatiori and ground prepara-
tion so great -that only a small num-
ber of needy families could be aided.
The military advantage of a widely
tilled and settled Alaska is, perhaps,
the incentive principally credited. A
vast land, it lies far out at the crown
of the Pacific, extends west to Hawaii
like a sentry box guarding the main
routes over which any invaders from
Asia would have to approach us. But
it would take scores of Matanaskas
before Alaska be competent to
proVision an embattled. American de-
fensive army.
"I figure," said Peter, "it's just one
of them things you can't blame no-
body for and it coaaea out good any-
how. There have been many such ire
stances; movements for which neither
legal justification nor clear purpose
can be discerned, but after a while
you see it had to happen.'
Alaska is a "nattual," in these days
,of international hungr- far good land.
The flow there on a alrge scale was
inevitable -with our •t7.•! cultural pop-
ulation crowded over the edges of
non -arable land. Its coastal region
has lets of precipitation, luxuriant
vegetation, and escapes. prolonged
cold. Lowest winter temperatures do
not approach those of the Mid -central
States from which the Matanuska set-
tlers came. The warm Japan Cur-
rent does for Alaska's coast what the
Gulf Stream does for the British Isles.
The Kenai peninsula, which like Mat-
aniiska is south of the Alaskan Range
has a climate more temperate than
New England's, and large numbers of
rattlers are going there now.
Government experts hold that Alas-
:ta. contains 65,000 square miles of
tillable land; 35,000 more ideal for
grazing. This nearly equals the whole
area of New England and Pennsyl-
vania and should support an equiva-
lent population.
Alaska has been, essentially, a min-
ing and fishing civilization, with fur
and lumber tagging along. These are
fields of quick huge profits, with no
thought for tomorrow -industries that
attract hordes of transient workers,
industries that pay good wages, bring
high living costs on their margins,
and do not build up stable communi-
ties.

getic men to remain on 'the soil, for

A asked Peter whether 'he thought
any of the Matanuska colonists might
succumb to the fever.
"Mebbe," said Peter, "although once
a feller signs the various agreements
with the government it won't be a
tight matter to pull stakes again. Look
at this soil. The government agents
say it's 18 feet deep in some places.
That's my kind of pay dirt."
"But.' - but I understand,"
Mary said weakly.
"It's easily explained, Mrs. Win-
ters," Crowell said. "Your brother
realized that the place was worthless
now. He decided to let his half go.
He knew I would be out this morn-
ing to tell you, so he - didn't bother
to send word out."
"But Why are you buying it if it's
so worthless?" Mary had got a grip
on herself.
"Grass," Crowell. said bluntly.
"But the water?"
Crowell laughed easily. "We have
money, Mrs. Winters. Building up
that wall again with a crew of meia
is a small matter for us."
"Ted, what do you think?" MarY
asked suddenly.
"It looks like Dave has run out on
us, Mary. Without him to run the
place, I'd say we might as well give
up and sell out to Mr. Crowell."
He•heard Mary get out. of her chair
and walk to the window. When she
spoke again, it was as if she was
arguing with herself.
'But you'll have a court fight with
the spread, Mr. Crowell. Hammond
claims the lake too."
"But who owns it?"
"We -do," Mary said. ,
"And you have the papers to prove,
it?"
"May I see them?"
Mary hesitated a moment, then
said: "Surely."
' Rosy knew she was wanting time
to digest this.
"God, this is shaky! Do you think
it's going to work?" It was Crowell
speaking. •
"Sure. Dave's signature convinced

Crowell. laughed softly. "But -since
Dave and Hammond aren't fighting
each other, 1 don't know how much

About $1,300,000 has been loaned, or
is available for lending, to the colon-
ists and secured by mortgages on
their- farms and chattels. In their
home districts It was costing the gov-
ernment about $500 a year to main-
tain each of those families on relief.
Under the original terms, the gov-
ernment paid transportation for each
colonist, his family and 2,000 pounds
of household goods. Every subse-
quent advantage, save community
facilities at Palmer, was countedin-
to the sum he would have to repay.
He received 40 acres of land, and ra.1-
terials and help to tailld his dwel-
ling; he could draw livestock and
farm machinery in line with his per-
sonal desires. 1
There was little check on each col-
onist's borrowing. Thrifty people liv-
ed thriftily; wasteful people lived
prodigally. Some pioneers ran their
debts as high as $16,000; an insane
burden that could never be repaid.
Eventually a debt commission was es-
tablished. This called in each colon-
ist for a review of bis situation and
a joint decision as to the amount he
should repay.

Colonel Ohlson has dreams' of a
million -dollar market along his rail-
road for Matanuska products, and has
figures to give them substance. Ile
es the colonists eventually making
incomes of mare than $4,000 each.
Certainly the canneries and mines,
which now fetch all their provender
in CAMS to a land where fresh vege-
tables have been almost unkown, will
afford a market when the Matanuska
output is consistent and dependable;
the steamship officials hope to be
able to take aboard fresh Matanuska
things at Seward.
The chances are that the govern-
ment will get back much of the mon-
ey it has put into Mata.nuska. It has
made an important step in national
d.efense. It has turned the search-
light of American public interest up-

It is due to Colonel Otto F. (Nilson.,
general manager of the Alaska Rally
road, that a federally ble7sed coloniz-
ation project came into the Matanu-
ska Valley. Years ago he realized
that bis railroad and the towns be-
side it would -find. security only upon
a bas of permanent agriculture.
When drought and dust storms 'har-
assed the West, Colonel Ohleon set
a pregnant. word in Secretary Roper's
ear, and the Matanuska idea was
born.
There were mistakes in the begin-
ning, mostly caused by haste; but
there was shrewdness, too. Orders
went out to WPA field workers to
nominate families from the relief lists
of Wisoonsin, Minnesota and ,Micari-
gan: a s.ectien that most nearly 'par-
alleled Alaska climatically. The field
men were strictly charged to, pick
