Should McCarthy Commercial
Club Be Active?
It is one foolish question to ask, yet
with every question there should be an
answer.
Have we a town? Yes! Have we all
the business we could handle? No! Is
there any chance to stimulate more
business? Yps! How? At last we have
to answer the first question.
Practically every town in the Terri
tory has passed thru the theros of the
small jealousies and hatreds which rule
in every town sometime in its career,
Seward is just emerging from this
period and is trying desperately to catch
up to the march of progress which has
passed it by. Had Seward been awake
in 1915, it would be a far larger, and
more prosperous town than it is today
Valdez is in the midst of an advertis
ing campaign that will bring home the
bacon. The town is losing out, and mer
chants are being hurt —in their pocket
books; so they are making an effort to
stimulate interest in the possibilities of
that district.
McCarthty has as many possibilitiesJ
and undeveloped resources as any on
own in the territory; yet who knows it j
outside of ourselves?
A commercial body is the best and J
most reliable means of informing the
public what a town has to offer. Yet the
club in McCarthy does—Nothing. We
know the town needs to be livened up j
and yet no move is made. What about !
a little more activity along this line.
With the lengthening of the days
comes the talk of the bridge: Hope
Springs eternal.
Now that the politicians are begin-!
ning to eye one another, it is time for;
the common citizen to begin asksng
about the Literrcy Bill, the Soldier’s
Compensation for Alaska :ind the other
measures that should interest all intel
ligent Alaskans.

good fault to find with uny build
