The News has received an in
vitation from the Board of Trus
tees of the Agricultural College
and School of Mines at Fairbanks
to be present at the dedication
of the College next week.
We wish we could accept the
invitation, for this is a great
day in Alaskan history. Alaska
is surely fulfilling her destiny |
and the opening of the Alaska
Agricultural College shows a
a big piece of the cloud’s silver
lining, which makes every old
timer feel like”chncking a brace’
and ref rising to be pessimistic.
And it would be travelling’‘de
luxe” to visit Fairbanks today.
We well remember in the sum
mer of 1906, when a man with
a pair of good understandings
and a spool of rabbit wire did
not hesitate to travel from the
coast to Fairbanks, and reached
there too. After the Valdez to
Fairbanks road was opened up
there were oases along the
traiHn the shape of roadhouses
even equipped with phonographs
and lady cooks.
Today we have our choice os
travelling to Fairbanks by rail
road or automobile.
