Some of the Pioneer’s Future
Plans
Now that the Pioneer is get
ting squared around in its new
home in the new townsite, some
thing of its future hopes and
plans will not be amiss. Due to
the vast amount of work incident
to moving to other quarters and
installing additional machinery,
it was not possible to issue last
week, and this week’s paper will
not be up to the standard which
we hope to attain within a very
short time.
It is the Pioneer’s plan to issue
a daily publication possibly be
fore another month shall pass.
By that time the Alaskan Engi
neering Commission will have
completed a telephone system
connecting Anchorage with Sew
ard, and if the tolls charged are
within our reach, we shall have
a first-class telegraphic service,
giving our patrons daily news
from the outside. We are sure
that our patrons will appreciate
such an effort by according us a
patronage that will warrant the
largely increased cost of produc
ing a daily publication in addi
tion to the regular weekly paper.
The Pioneer owners have dis
played their confidence in this
community and the surrounding
country by installing a really
first-class printing plant. The
policy of giving the people a
wholesome, reliable newspaper
will be continued, for experience
has taught us that this type of
journalism is not only right and
this is the chief consideration
that should actuate newspapers
as well as individuals—but it is
likewise more profitable. Sen
sational, misleading rot will find
no place in these columns; per
sonalities of a vicious nature are
likewise out of our realm of en
deavor. We shall continue the
policy of constructive work, seek
ing within our limitations to do
our best in behalf of the section
in which we have elected to do
business.
Five hundred votes at a school
election with but one ticket in
the field is a record of which An
chorage may well be proud. It
is an achievement never before
attained in an Alaska towm.
For Sale—Brand new Eastman au
tographic kodak, $18. Inquire at the
postoffice. x
The Pioneer is an admirer of
the All-Alaska Review, the ex
cellent monthly publication is
sued by the Messrs. Stone and
McGrath, of Seward. As a friend
of this publication, we suggest
that it terminate the services of
the agent who has been canvass
ing this town for support during
the past week. The tactics he
adopts are not conducive to gain
ing friends for a really excellent
publication which merits support.

If you have any doubts at all
concerning the future of Anchor
age, just read the Alaskan En
gineering Commission’s plans for
this place, which appears on an
other page. This will be the coal
terminal for the government rail
way system.
FOR SALE—Good location at Mata
nuska; also good grocery and dry goods
stock at Seattle; cost if taken at once.
