ANCHORAGE, ALASKA. FRIDAY. .II^N'F. 16. 1916.
ENLARGED PAPER IS APPRECIATED.
It remained for The Daily Times to set the pace in Alaska,
in the regular publication of a twelve page daily newspaper,
the first issue of which appeared yesterday, and results were
so gratifying that the management cannot help but feel that i^s
efforts to give Anchorage the largest and best newspaper ever
printed in all of Alaska are fully appreciated. We take a par
donable pride, also, in the fact that the edition of 2.500 copies
was exhausted early last evening and the demand lor extia
papers has been pouring into the office so fast that another
1,000 copies could readily have been disposed had it been pos
sible to furnish them. _
The people of Anchorage took our tip that the Daily Times
would contain much general information about conditions
here and what is planned for the future at the terminal of the
new government railroad that they were eager to secure extra
copies to mail to their friends in the states. It was only by fil
ing their orders early that they could be accomodated, but had
we anticipated any such a demand for the first issue we would
have kept the forms standing and the presses running until ev
erybodv had secured all the papers they desired.
However, 12-page editions are to be daily occurrences, so
long as the business justifies the publication of such a large
paper, and it would be well to see that you are not only on
the regular subscription list, but are having The Times mailed
to friends on the outside in order that they too may know what
is going on at Anchorage. We have several new features in
contemplation and we can promise our readers that some good
things are in store for them which they cannot afford to miss.
Upon the request of a large number of subscribers, who
were unable to get extra copies of yesterday’s issue, we are
today republishing the half-tone cut of Anchorage. Inis was
made from an old photograph, and while the growth of the
town has been so rapid that it does not begin to do justice to
the youngest and best town in Alaska, it gives those in tbe
states an idea of the place as it was last fall. As soon as the
engravers in the >tatei are able to furnish us with another cut.
showing the Anchorage of today with its 6,000 population, as
well a- other illustrations of local interest, they will be pub
lished in The Daily Times.
ALASKA'S POOR CABLE SERVICE.
While it may seem unkind to give forcible expression to
our opinion of anything worn out by old age, we cannot refrain
from commenting on the condition of the cable, over which
communication is maintained between Alaska and the states
when the line is in operation. This cable has been in service
so long that it is now old and feeble and upon the slightest
provocation goes out of commission. As a decrepit it is enti
tled to a permanent berth in some charitable institution.
These frequent breaks in the cable are not only an annoy
ance but frequently the cause of additional expense to the pub
lic and is one of the weakest links of any public service fur
nished by the departments of the government. The cable is
and has been in a rotten condition for several years past and
no sooner are the breaks repaired than they occur again. The
only remedy is to replace the old cable with a new one. and the
sooner this is done the better the public will be pleased.
The Daily Times has been one of the greatest sufferers
from this interrupted cable and telegraphic service and it is
with great difficulty that we are able to furnish the people of
Anchorage and Cook inlet with anything like the press report
that we aim to publish. When the cable is not working it is
necessary to get our press report over the wireless at either
Cordova or Juneau stations and if there is a break in the lo
cal lipe between Anchorage and Seward we are entirely help
less. However, it is no fault of ours if this newspaper fails
to get all the news of the states and foreign countries. We
want the news and are willing to pay for it, and it’s up to the
government to see that we get it.
It is discouraging to would-be prize fighters, heroes with
tin ears and gutta percha noses, to come to Alaska in search of
additional fame in the roped arena and learn after their ar
rival that the law puts a ban on fistic carnivals in this portion
of the sphere mundane.—Douglas News.
