Government Opens Alaska Farmland to Settlers Monday
A remote 2,990,000 acres in Alaska near Norton Sound will open for settlement after a proclamation by the interior secretary. Thousands of hopeful homeseekers, despite limited steamship service, head north as agriculture, mining, and rail and steamship development drive growth. The land is described as temperate with strong potential for hay grain and stock feed, boosting white population and possibly statehood, with railroad lines pushing toward Fairbanks and the Yukon.
