from the foot of Third street to the
end of steel on the railroad toward
Turnagain Arm. This line is first

special high-grade copper wire with a
steel core for circuits. This crew is
being moved to Matanuska today to

the bunch will be down in force with
in 30 days, at which time things will
happen in Anchorage. Mr. Goheen
will probably spend the winter in this

Local Men Land
Wrangell Contract
Hats off to Anchorage. Through
the energy, enterprise and efficiency
of two local firms cne landed the con- :
tract for the construction of a iein- 1
ft'red concrete building for the Bank i
of r. laska at Wrangell and the other
one furnishes all tiie building mate
rial. i
W. L. Balch, of the contracting firm i
of Balch and McDonald, left for 1
Wrangell on one of the late steamers i
to superintend the structure which i
will he on the same order and design <
as the present comfortable and com
modious building, erected by this firm 1
and occupied by the Bank of Alaska in i
Anchorage. i i
George M. Campbell, of the North
Side Lumber company, furnishes
building material, which will be ship
ped direct to Wrangell from Seattle.
The Bank of Alaska is erecting per
manent buildings in the various towns
where they are located and the direct
ors were so well pleased with the* An
chorage building that they decided to
duplicate it for their quarters in
Wrangell.
Not that Wrangell, Juneau and
coast towns haven’t contractors and
lumber kings, but Anchorage supports
better ones—full of energy, enterprise
and efficiency.

Commission Calls
for Bids for 400
Tons of Potatoes
With the exception of the absentees
from the city the entire membership
>f the Anchorage Chamber of Com
nerce executive committee attended
ast night’s meeting.
In the absence of President Wendler
dee George M. Campbell ably pre
sided over the meeting which was one
>f utmost importance to Anchorage
ind the farming community of the
Watanuska valley.
After disposing of the regular rout
ne the matter of the price for Mata
luska potatoes was taken up and Mr. j
Siken, representing the Farmers’ as-1
sociation, presented their side of the j
■ase, which dealt with a contract for
supplying 400 tons of potatoes to the
Vlaskan Engineering Commission.
The government, through the prop
;r channels, asked for bids under date
>f Sept. 20th, for 400 tons of pota
oes, previously giving out the infor
nation that it would patronize home
ndustry as a preference, provided the
•ompeting bid was not exorbitant.
The farmers set a price of $50.00 a
on, which was considerably in excess
>f outside prices and naturally the]
government refused to accept the bid. j
In order to assist the Matanuska i
'armei's the Anchorage Chamber of
Commerce took the matter up, to the
>nd that Chairman Campbell appoint
sd a thoroughly representative com
nittee consisting of Messrs. Herron,
Shonbeck, and Pilger to wait upon
Commissioner Mears to see if a mu
;ually satisfactory adjustment could
\ot be reached. The committee with
Chairman Campbell and Mr. Eiken
net with Commissioner Mears and
Walter De Long this morning. Mr.
Wears and Mr. De Long were excep
;ionally fair in the matter and advised
;he committee that from the fact that
;he bid turned in by the Matanuska
farmers was too high the government
.vould re-advertise for bids in order to
give the farmers a second chance to
:ompete with outside prices. Mr.
Mears reiterated the statement that
the government desired to patronize
home industry and would stretch a
point to this end.
The Alaskan Engineering Corpmis
aion has been offered the best Yakima
potatoes, in 400-ton lots, at prices ran
ging from $23.00 to $25.00 per ton cal
ling for October shipment; with the
freight added this would mean a price
in the neighborhood of $43.60 per ton
laid down in Matanuska.
The government will accept the bid
of the Matanuska farmers on this ba
sis, viz: Seattle price plus cost of com
mercial freight rates, lighterage and
rate to Matanuska. In allowing the
added freight rate to Matanuska the
government is certainly more than
fair from the fact that the bulk of the
potatoes have been allotted to the
Tumagain Arm and Anchorage dis
tricts.
The farmers can not expect a more
liberal deal than this and there is no
doubt but that they will get together
and submit a bid, to be opened Octo
ber 1st, that will close the contract
for the 400 tons for delivery to the
Alaskan Engineering Commission.
Future contracts will depend large
ly upon the successful fulfillment ol1
the contract by the Matanuska farmers
and The Daily Times suggests at this
time that the Farmers’ association
handle the order as an organization,
thereby guaranteeing prompt delivery
