HAINES COMMENCES A NEW
ERA OF DEVELOPMENT AND
PROSPERITY.
When the voters of Haines decided
by an overwhelming majority at the
special election last week to incorpor
*te, a new era of development and
prosperity dawned for Haines and her
people
Haines is now a municipality, and
subject to intelligent and systemized
direction. Xo longer will it be nec
essary for a few public spirited men
to get out and spend their time and
money in obtaining needed improve
ments. The town eouncil will direct
what and how improvements shall
be made and the councU will have
$4,600 of federal license monies with
which to carry on the expenses of th
town for the first year.
This is a sum amply sufficient to
conduct the regular expenses of
Haines and at the same time make
many needed improvements about the
municipality. This money will be
spent in Hahies and for Haines. For
merly this money was taken out of
Haines, never to return. Haines will
be greatly the gainer in this one re
spect alone.
Haines will now be recognized as
one of the sister-hood of Alaskan
towns. No such recognition would
have been accorded Haines as long as
it remained un-incorporated.
Under incorporation whatever ex
lenses are incurred for street improv
ments. sidewalks, street lights, water
protection and other similar works,
will be shared equitably by the peo
ple. in case the F*edreal license funds
?re not sufficient to carry on the
*ork Previously a few citizens of
Haines hare carried on their shoul
ders the bulk of this burden.
It is extremely unlikely, however,
that the residents of Haines will be
called upon to pay taxes. The fed
eral license money funds are at pre
sent sufficient to defray the expenses
of all needed improvements and the
funds will increase just as the town
I nder a wise and economical adminls
tratioa of affairs no taxes need be
levied in Haines, as is the case in
several other Alaskan towns.
Tho people of Haines are to be con
gratulated upon their choice of coun
cilmen. The Pioneer Press knows ?r
ery man on tie new council and be
lieves that each one will do his ut
most towards the development and
upbuilding of Haines. There are
Just as good men who failed of elec
tion, but they, too. wiU take off their
coats and put their shoulders to the
wheel.
The election is over and whatever
differences it caused should be for
gotten. The majority rules and the
minority should bow to their will and
?how tjiemselves good losers by join
ing hands and working for the wel- 1
fare of the town.
Let the year 1910 be prolific of
tangible results for Haines and her
people In prosperity and growth.?
Haines Pioneer Press.
OUR OWN FOLK FIRST.
The best way and the right way to
build a prosperous community is to
support in every possible manner lo
cal enterprise and home concerns.
If you send your money to the out
aide for merchandise or other goods
or materials, which you could with
* almost equal satisfaction and cost
purchase la Seward, you diminish

WILLIAM BRITT, Druggist
by the amount you send the local
circulation. It Is gone never to re
turn. if, on the other hand, you
spend your dollars with home con
cerns. indirectly some of it returns
to your coffers. This is a self evid
ent fact, apparent to everyone who
gives thought to the matter, very
properly observes the Seward Gate- J
way.
Just for example, take commercial
printing. The Gateway office Is
equipped with a printing plant suffi
cient for the requirements of a town
of this size. It can turn out a qua
ltiy of work good enough for any
concern in Seward. And yet we have
noted that some concerns send much
of their printing to the outside, ra
ther than give the local office the
order. They claim they can make
a small saving. This is conceded
when we look no further than a di
rect saving on a specific order. But
indirectly those concerns would as
sist themselves by helping other lo
cal enterprises in every possible way.
If the Gateway could get all the
commercial printing in Seward, two
more well paid printers would be em
ployed. a typesetting machine would
be added to the equipment and a
much better and larger paper would
be published.
These remarks are not made in a
spirit of criticism .nor are we com
plaining of lack of support. On the
contrary ,no other town of equal
population in the United States
boasts a daily paper .small though
the Gateway be. But we are Just
suggesting what might be done. And
what applies to the Gateway applies
with equal force to all other local
concerns and business enterprises.
Patronize your local merchants, your
local manufacturing concerns, your
local water and light plants, your
local banks. Spend your money in
Seward. Keep it in circulation here.
We must all stand together, or we
may fall together.
HAINES STANDS FOR HOME RULE
Last fall when Delegate Wicker
sham asken and obtained the en
dorsement of the Pioneer Press in
his cabled request to President Taft
for home rule, we stated that an over*
whelming majority of the people of
Halues favored this measure.
If there was any doubt to the truth
of this statement it was settled at
the incorporation election. Incorpor
ation meant nothing more or less
than home rule at home and Just
about 80 per cent of the voters of
Haines put themselves on record as
favoring home rule.
This is gratifying, not alone to the
home rule element of Haines, but to
the great majority of the people of
Alaska. Straws show the direction
of the wind. ? Haines Pioneer Press.
