Prosperity
The prosperity of any community depends very largely upon the
ooperation manifested by the many individuals and institu
tions forming the community. There can be no lasting prosper!
iy or genuine progress in the life of any community without
honest cooperation between' all elements that in any way affect
the common welfare. if" '
So it ip with Alaska. No one section of this great land can
prosper for long at the expense of any other section; all construc
tive efforts must be so coordinated that but one outcome will re
sult—Cooperation; and Cooperation means Prosperity
It is the constant aim of The Alaska Railroad to at all times
render such aervice as will best serve the citizens of the entire
Territory.

CHARITY FUNDS AND THE
AUASKA PACKER’S ASSOCIATION
We don’t doubt at all but what
the sum set aside, for the unfortun
ate sufferers at Kake by the Alaska
Packers Association, was from depth
i of heart and will to help. We would
a 1 have let it go at that and consider
V, j ed it a worthy deed in time ol
stress. In fact we had a stickful oi
stuff typewritten bearing on the do
nation on those lines, but when the
Ketchikan Chronicle, reeking in po
lical effluvium, has to take a fling
at the Natives through the gift
route, we’ve something to say. The
Alaska Packer’s Association has
made enough out of the toil and
sweat and blood of employee and
fisherman in Alaska to make many
such donations. ' We know. We
were on the ground floor in the days
v hen Babbler was at Wrangell and
Hickman at Loring. We know of
stunts pulled off at that, if printed,
would make Ida Tarbell's “Standard
Oil” look like a meek and watery
Mother Goose jingle in comparison.
Not alone did the Indians suffer;
not alone were they cheated, lied to,
browbeaten and humilaited. There

A. Does the Chronicle want to
know more? Let it make any more
nasty cracks wherein suffering hu
manity and helping hands are one
and we’ll spread out a basketful,
i'ho Chronicle is one of the horns
through which the Independents (? j
aye blowing, and if they’ve got to
toot, politically, the misfortune of
one and the charity of another to
aid their cause, it is time they laid
aside their tin pipes and sized them
selves up.
PETERSBURG-SCOW BAY ROAD
The Petersburg-Scow edition of
the Chronicle libates wonderously
and lengthily on the condition Of
the bit of trail between the town
and Scow Bay. It, the trail, is
n’t overly passable, true enough,
but if the edition would know why
the trail has had so little money
to make it better, let it nose
around a mite not so many doors
from where it runs its sheet, and it
v. ill learn. Back of the objection
to appropriations for the Peters
i .
burg-Scow Bay road were the com
plaints that the road would benefit
Scow Bay, would tend to build up
tbo town of Petersburg along the
road instead of on the muskeg hill
at the upper end of twn and would
eventually draw business from
where it has been—and where
it should be located. Is there
any neighborly feeling in this re
euc-st that no road appropriation be
made? Is there consideration shown
for those who have built their
homes along the road? Not at all.
The attitude of the anti-appropria
tion clique is selfish, narrow and ti
mid. We should have a road, and a
good road, clear through to the city
property on Blind Slough. There
are acres of tillable land that would
be tapped by such a highway. It
means more business, town would
expand and it is not at all unreason
able to look forward to a beautiful
water-front city,should a Peters
burg-Blind Slough road go through.
STEAMSHIPS AND MAIL
There is hardly a steamhip, or
large motor vessel, that really likes
to land at Petersburg. Unless the
tides* are slack, or in the neap stage,
it is difficult to dock the big ships.
The Narrows are good enough as a
harbor, but they are shy of sea
room. It calls for a deal of backing
and filling to safely land and the
larger packets would rather drive
right on by than to undergo the de
lay and anxiety in working up to the
docks. No sailing master, nor does
any member of a crew, desire to
ground a ship, and there’s a pos
sibility of this very thing right in
front of town during strong tides.
So, the steamship companies, look
ing to safety first, don’t schedule
anv more of their boats than they
can help. Again, at low run outs,
the wharf frontage isn't deep
enough to accommodate those ves
sels of heavy draft. ((We under
stand that the Citizen’s Cooperative
Dock is now deeper than it has beer
and can accommodate most if no1
all the vessels.)
The panacea for these marine
ailments is longer wharf frontage
in deeper water and wharf facet
more in line with the currents. II
takes money to build docks anc
build docks right, but until this it
done the big boats will shy off a‘
every opportunity.
To be of real service, the docl
frontage should extend unbrokei
from the oil docks to the cannery
Safe and reachable landing placet
will halt any and all Alaska steam
ships. The Petersburg edition oi
the Chronicle, whining like a sicl
baby at things it doesn’t understnd
lays the blame on Sutherland foi
the non-mail carrying schedule oi
the Alaska Steamship Company’s
steamship Alameda. The truth lies
1 in the sailing dates * of that vessel
j She could have had a mail contracl
any time she changed her time o1
departure from that of sailing im
mediately following a mail steam
er. The boats managers didn’t se<
fit to change sailing dates and th<
boat, therefore, carries no mail.
