’‘THE BATTLE CRY”
“Sutherland and the Alaska
Engineering Commission a
gainst, Galen, Cordova, and the
Copper River interests. Let
this sink in—DEKP”
It does sink in, that the An
chorage press comes out against
Galen and the Copper River In
terests. This section of the
country has not had a thousand
dollars of Uncle Sam’s treasury
spentonits development, as com
pared to the millions which
have been spent on the Govern
ment railroad, but. in copper,
fish and gold its production has
been enormous. There are still
untold millions awaiting devel
opment in this section and be
cause we want representation
which will help us in that devel
opment, we are attacked.
Galen, Cordova and the Cop
per River Interests are our
interests, and as such we should
not fail to exercise our preroga
tive when we go to the polls on
Tuesday.
It does sink in and sinks in deep
the fact that Dan Sutherland
would allow his name to be used
in an article of such a vindic
tive nature. We who are voters,
who are in this Copper River Val
ley, realize that there may be a
thousand and one things to be
adjusted when private interests
control the transportation, not
only in this territory but in the
United States: —in New Zea
land which enjoys the reputation
jf having the most progressive
government in the world, it took
many years before the railroad,
telegraph and telephone ser
vices, even under government
control, weie entirely satisfacto
ry.
it is true that we have had
very little aid in the past from
the government for the benefit
of this section, but we dont hol
ler very much:—for the reason
that we have practical demon
stration that this is the richest,
biggest, most prosperous and
most resourceful section of A
laska, in spite of the fact that
everything has been developed
by private enterprise.
To attempt to use Mr. Suther
land's name and the Alaska En
gineering Commission political
ly, against Galen, tVndova, and
the Copper River Interests, is
to say the least very absurd.
One might expect something
of this nature from a yellow
journal but Alaska so far, has
been singularly fortunate in
that respect, but even a public
Ration with the standing of tlie
! Anchorage Times must not foi
j a moment imagine that it car
! cast a reflection upon the in teg
rity of the voters of the Coppei
i River Valley unchallenged.
Our integrity is still unimpair
j ed and it is up to every man anc
| every woman in the Copper Riv
i er Valley to repudiate the An
J chorage Times’ statement, anc
! show by our actions next Tries
j day that Galen, Cordova, anc
' the Copper River Interests an
'our interests; without any figh
! on our hands whatsoever a
gainst the Alaska Engineerin'
j Commission, by voting for Jin
j Galen as Alaska’s Delegate t<
! Congress.
This will sink in —DEEP.
