BOOST FOR A PAPER MILL.
On another page of this issue appears an article from the
pen of a resident who knows about the making of wood pulp
and the manufacture of paper and who declares that the wood
resources of the Cook Inlet country are adapted to this pur
pose. The Times assumes to know nothing whatever about
this industry; it does know, however, that the cottonwood and
other woods that grow in profusion in this neighorhood can be
employed to good advantage in this direction. Common sense
teaches this. If the raw material for the manufacture of a giv
en product is available in large quantities, water and rail
transportation are at hand, and working conditions about the
same as in the states, there can be no adequate reason for
doubting the possibilities that lie in the manufacture of wood
pulp and the product of such”pulp, which is print and writ
ing paper. Especially is this the ease in the situation that ex'
ists with respect to paper manufacturing. There is a scarci
ty in the states of the raw material necessary to make paper.
There is an abundance of raw material hereabouts. Then why,
in the name of common sense, is the way not clear and inviting
for entering this industry ? Why should paper manufacturers
scout about after corn cobs in old Missouri, or Oregon manu
facturers plant cottonwood forests with this field before them?
It is simply and only because they know nothing of this latent
resource that is within their reach.
The correspondent of The Times figures that a plant for
the manufacture of pulp would employ, roughly speaking,
fiOO people—a community in itself. As he points out, the set
tlers who are employed in clearing their homesteads would
have a sale for the trees that impede farming, instead of heap
ing them into a pile and setting a match to them.
Such industries are needed to make a city out of Anchor
age. Why may we not grasp the opportunity that lies before
us and boost and advertise our wood resources, good for little
else than for the purpose herein suggested.
George B. Grigsby, democratic candidate for attorney-gen
eral of the territory, did the best he knew how to aid his col
league on the ticket, Charles Sulzer, candidate for delegate
to congress, but his voice fell unheeded on the crowd that as
sembled out of curiosity to hear him last night. Mr. Grigsby
makes a good talk when he has a popular subject, but he found
last night’s audience cold and unresponsive, because they
were opposed to his advocacy of Mr. Sulzer. It is because An
chorage is overwhelmingly in favor of the re-electipp-^rcA??.
egate Wiekersham, the avowed friend and suppose / of the
railway project. The people of Alaska are not ficl^fe; rather,
they are constant and loyal to those officials in whom they
have confidence. That is "why they insist on returning the in
cumbent to the halls of congress. To a marked degree, the
delegate enjoys the confidence and respect of the people of
Alaska. They recognize his high order of ability; they know
he is a credit to them at the national capital, and they propose
to send him there as long as he wishes to go. And nothing that
Mr. Grigsby, good fellow that he is and our'Shoice of the three
candidates for attorney-general, can say, or Mr. Sulzer can
say, will change, in the least respect, their attitude toward the
delegate. They know him, and it is because they know him
that they favor him.
Citizens of Anchorage are urged to attend the benefit
dance at Labor Union hall tonight, given for the purpose of
raising funds to clear the $500 indebtedness on the baseball
grand stand and improvements. This indebtedness was as
sumed, for the benefit of the town, by public spirited citizens,
who saw the need of the fine basebalL grounds here, which are
a distinct credit to Anchorage. With the clearing of the re
maining indebtedness, the improvements will be turned over
to the town. The Labqr Union boys have very graciously
granted the free use of the commodious hall and other substan
tial donations toward the big function tonight have been made.
Citizens who have enjoyed the fine ball games that have been
pulled off this season, and those who may not care for this kind
of sport, but who are concerned in the town’s welfare, should
give their support to such a worthy cause.
In the oft quoted discussion of the rights of labor and of
capital which Lincoln incorporated in his annual message of
Dec. 3, 1861, it should be remembered that he said: “There
is and probably always will be a relation between labor and
capital producing mutual benefits. The error is in assuming
that the whole labor of the community exists within that re
lation. A few men own capital, and that few avoid labor them
selves, and with their capital hire or buy another few to labor
for them. A large majority belong to neither class—neither
work for others nor have others working for them.’’ The at
titude and interests of this vast group should now be given
1
A very nice, and yet a not very difficult question, says an
exchange, is involved in the proposition that the owner of r^al
estate in a community is in fact only a trustee, since whatever
value the real estate possesses is given it by the community.
It would take hours and columns to discuss this subject in all
its bearings, but, in brief, what right has any property owner
to treat shabbily the community which makes ownership of his
— property worth while? - ,

Vol. 1. No. 58. ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 4th and D
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, J
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 Drug Co. If you wish any special lec
ords let us know. We will get them for you.

IMS 10 GREAT
JUNEAU, Sept. 23.—Delegate Jas.
Wickersham spoke at the Coliseum
theatre last night, to the largest au
dience that ever assembled in Juneau.
So great was the rush for admission,
that the theatre was filled long before
the speaking began and 1,200 people
were turned away. The charge of the
Juneau Empire that the delegate is
spending out his speeches for cam
paign purposes by using his franking
privilege was refuted by the delegate,
who showed receipted bills signed by
the public printer for the printing and
mailing of the speeches. The delegate
said that opposition to the full terri
torial government for Alaska came
from the administration and all ad
ministration bureaus. He declared
that Secretary of Commerce Redfield
was seeking to have the tax imposed
on the canneries by the Alask^t legis
lature annulled. He declared that the
Alexander fish bill was a 'democratic
measure. The delegate declared that
the same difficulty was experienced in
the Taft administration. ___
Wickersham said that he had it on
good authority that the federal ap
pointees at Juneau had been assessed
a half a month’s salary for campaign
purposes. He announced that Emery
Valentine would be his campaign man
ager.
The charge that Wickersham had
neglected the Juneau school bonding
bill is refuted by Councilman King,
