SUGGESTION FOR CO-OPERATION.
_
A prominent attorney who is visiting Anchorage, and who
is interested in Alaska, suggests to The Times that Anchorage
and Seward should bury the hatchet, let bygones be bygones,
and work in harmony, to the end that both towns shall grow
and prosper. The visitor suggests that there are many things
that could be gained, if the proper co-operation were manifest
ed by the towns. He thinks that perhaps Seward should be the
official headquarters of a new judicial division that will ulti
mately be carved out of the Fourth division, while Anchorage
should be the headquarters of the Alaska Road commission
and that a United States land office should be established here.
So in other things, evening matters up, so to speak.
There are arguments in favor of this plan and there are
equally good arguments against it. In the first place, Anchor
age has initiated a fight against no other town or community.
It has been going along attending to its own business. But it
has been the object of villification and vituperation of the most
vicious kind; it has been knocked and berated as no other
community in Alaska has been attacked. And much of this
wilful misrepresentation can be laid at the door of small-mind
ed, narrow individuals at Seward. There are just as good peo
ple at Seward as anywhere on God’s footstool. And there are
some of the pettiest mortals there that ever the sun shone on.
Just who is in control of things over there we are not advised.
If the narrow set runs things, they would sooner wreck their
own fortunes than see an assumed opposition town prosper. If
the broad-guaged element is in control, there would be no dif
ficulty in bringing about a thorough understanding that would
he helpful to both places.
In view of' the fact that Seward began the fight, it is up to
her to make the overtures for peace. We do not feel that An
chorage, that has been so busily employed in attending to its
own matters, should now extend the olive branch, because we
did not start the fight. We have simply, in a mild way, been
acting in self-defense.
DISPATCH SWINGS INTO LINE.
The Juneau Dispatch jumps into the band wagon and an
nounces that from now on, it will employ every agency at its
command for the re-election of Delegate Wickersham. The
Dispatch will he welcomed into the fold of the Wickershamites
and will be able to do the delegate much good in the First di
vision, the only one in which there is any doubt whatever. The
Dispatch was formerly a loyal supporter of Wickersham. At the
Seward convention, its publisher was the recognized spokes
man for the delegate, but Boss Shackleford had that conven
tion tied hand and foot and the delegate’s name was not pre
sented for the delegate nomination. The nomination was left
in the hands of four trusted henchmen of Shackleford’s, but up
to this time, they have made no nomination; nor will they
make any. On orders from their boss, they will lend their aid
to the support of Candidate Sulzer, the democratic aspirant for
delegate. But it will make no difference whatever in the re
sult. Shackleford’s influence, outside of the Alaska-Gastineau
crowd, amounts to worse than nothing. His support of the
democratic nominee is a vast aid to Wickersham, because the
people will not stand for anyone wearing the Shackleford tag.
And with the election of Candidate Hughes to the presi
dency, which is now assured beyond the peradventure of a
doubt, the delegate will come into his rights with respect to
federal appointments in Alaska. And there will be a clean
sweep, too.
The Times’ advocacy of a pulp mill for Anchorage is lia"
ble to bear fruit of the most gratifying kind. Large pulp mill
men have been written by local parties and it is fair to expect
that at least an investigation will be made. And if the pulp
men come here and take1 a look at the situation, the result will
be the establishment of ft big pulp mill. Just mark this, kind
reader, and if the pulp mill comes, remember that The Times
started the agitation in this behalf. The Times be
lieves in constructive work; it wants new enterprises here;
new industries that will benefit the community. We want to
see this town grow into a big, substantial city, that can stand
on its own bottom, not depending upon the railway payroll.
There will come a time—six or seven years hence—when the
railway construction will be pretty well over. Now is the time
to prepare for the future, by building up and encouraging home
industries. Then we shall not feel the lack of the railway con
struction payroll. We can stand alone.
George B. Grigsby, candidate for attorney-general, did not
make his visit to Anchorage in vain, as he undoubtedly made
many votes for himself. That he did no good in the way of
furthering the candidacy of Charles Sulzer is not to his dis
credit. It is rather because the people here propose to vote, in
large part, for the re-election of Delegate Wickersham, and
they are not to be dissuaded otherwise. Mr. Grigsby, in his
talk to the people of Anchorage, sought to show that the dele
gate is a friend of the fishing and other large interests. This
effort was entirely futile. The best evidence that the large
fishing interests are opposed to the delegate is the fact that
they are fighting him. Big interests do not fight their friends,
nor those who serve them. Rather, they fight those independ
ent men whom they cannot control. And Delegate Wickersham
belongs in this category.
“The Store That Has What You Want—When You Want It.”
Loussac’s Daily Gossip
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1916.
Vol. 1. No. 59 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA -Hh and I)
Congratulations! Everybody in town is getting married apparently, for
every second person coming in our drugstore is buying wedding presents. And
they leave our store satisfied—they found what they wanted.
We have added the famous "Swan” Fountain Pen to our stock. It has a
chain attached to the top of the pen. You simply cannot lose it—And you
should have a fountain pen. It is an evidence of business efficiency. We car
ry the Waterman Ideal, Parker, Conklin, and the Swan.
When I decided to move my drug store from Juneau to Anchorage, while
the boys were packing up the stock, I ran over to Sitka. Sitka is Alaska’s
old capital, as you all know, and it has many interesting points for a visitor.
It is a very popular trip with the tourists. Our boat had over 100 of them.
We went over to see the sights and of course visited the Alaska museum. We
were looking at some old curios, when I heard one of the fair tourists ask the
custodian if they had a drug store in Sitka. “No,” replied the lady in charge,
“we always send for our drugs to Juneau.” “That is too bad,” said the tour
ist, “I have a prescription I want filled; who would you suggest as the best
druggist in Juneau?” “Why,” answered the lady, "We always send for our
drugs to Loussac’s drug store. He is the most reliable there.” She did not
know I was there, and I am sure I never saw her before, but believe me, I
feel very proud. It is just things like that which spur you on to further ef
forts in improving your service.
We have many an article, not expensive in the least, but which added to
your home will prove a necessity. Towel racks, soap dishes, glass holders,
bath room supplies of all description, at the most reasonable prices.
Now is a good time to send a souvenir of Alaska to your friends. A book
of poems by R. Service is most appropriate, in “The Spell of the Yukon” is
embodied the spirit of Alaska in the days of ’98.
We have received a new supply of Victor records and machines at our
other store—formerly the Northern Drag Co. If you wish any special rec
ords let us know. We will get them for you.
“Libbey’g” name on cut glass is like “Gorham” on silver—it stands for
quality. We are the agents.
