Saturday March 4th 1922,
The worst is over in McCarthy
now — spring is almost here —
the work of drilling for the Ni
zina bridge site will begin this
month — there will be increased
activity at the various copper
mines — placer camps will re
open and things will soon be
humming.
It is up to us all to help things
along, and if we concentrate on
our own affairs and spend our
spare time in boosting, we will
find that a lot of the grievances
we have are purely imaginary
and the fruit of the long dull
winter.
Valdez Should Be Considered
There is no doubt that at
some future time the Headquart
ers of the Third Judicial Divis
ion will be moved from Valdez
to Seward, especially as the
proposition is favourably looked
upon by our future represent
atives to the Legislature.
There is equally no doubt
that it will be a fine thing for
Seward and make a great asset
for that city.
But it would be a terrible
blow to Valdez if something
were not furnished to take the
place,
Valdez has always been to the
front in all matters beneficial to
the territory, has had her re
verses and disasters, battling
bravely through them all and is
entitled to her share of Govern
ment monies.
A branch of the Land Office
placed in the Third Division is
a very necessary innovation and
in our opinion, Valez is the logi
cal city for that to be establish
ed.
The present Land Office at
Juneau is not nearly large
enough for the territory and in
view of the fact that almost all
the work of this year has come
from the Third Division, that
would be a most central location
for a sub office.
It would .be a tremendous
help to those who are develop
ing their properties in this sec
tion as well as giving Valdez a
a square deal.
