Our Winter Business
On every hand you hear talk of
a decided slack in business dur
ing the winter months, now fast
approaching. That there will be
something of a drop in business
over the fine season through
which we have passed, and now
prevailing, for that matter, is
scarcely a question for debate.
It stands to reason that things
will slow up a bit, when the rail
way work will call for the employ
ment of less men in the winter
time, than during the remainder
of the year.
But let’s take a look at the
bright side of the of the picture.
The railway work will extend at
least up to the first of the year.
The climatic conditions in this
country are not severe and will
permit construction up to that
time. The back of the winter, so
to speak, will be broken and it
will be but a couple of short
months when, possibly, there will
be but little employment on the
big government project. In large
part, it is fair to say, the men em
ployed on railway work—some
1500 of them—will come to An
chorage to remain until things
start up again in the early spring.
These men. employed throughout
the past season, will have money
and will require food, clothing,
ete. This means business for the
merchant, restaurant man and
hotel keeper.
For one, the Pioneer has no fear
for the winter months. We will
glide through them in the belief
that next year will be the banner
one for this section of Alaska.
It is rather a reflection upon
the various church denominations
that up to this time Anchorage
has been completely passed up,
so to speak. While some of the
denominations have procured
lots, presumably for the purpose
of building churches, they are
exhibiting a lassitude and indif
ference so fas as “getting down
to brass tacks,” to use the ver
nacular, Anchorage is entitled
to two or three churches and it
is about time those in authority
in such matters made a noise like
they were going to do something.
Churches and schools are sup
posed to be, and are, refining in
fluences that should immediately
follow the founding of a city.
Plans are about perfected for
the erection of a public hospital
for Anchorage. Such an institu
tion is a very necessary adjunct
to the town. While Anchorage
is a most healthful place, it is
not wholly immune from sick
ness, and it is desirable that we
use proper precautions to guard
against possible illness and be
able, when it comes, to give those
afflicted adequate care and atten
tion. _
Are Cook Inlet waters navig- i
able during the winter months?
This is a question that appears to
worry our coast neighbors more
than it does us. The records of
the Greek church at Kenai, kept
with accuracy by the priest in
charge, show that during the Rus
sian occupation of Alaska Rus
sian vessels, especially gunboats
on patrol duty, plied the Cook
Inlet waters at all times in the
year, winter and summer.
The taking over by the govern
ment of the Alaska Northern
railway system means much to
Anchorage. Most of the import
ant work, especially the rock cuts
around Campbell point, will be
tributary to this place, which will
derive the chief benefit in the
construction of the railway line.
Rather than a cause for regret, it
is a matter for congratulation.

Pure Paints Pilger’s.
Notwithstanding the published
statements to the effect that the
Guggenheims have thrown up
their options on claims in the
Broad Paw country, the fact re
mains, according to reliable re
liable reports from that rsfciOti,
that the big syndicate is still in
full possession of the Golden
Zone group and exhibit no evid
ence of leaving the country.
Sorrows of the Rural Editor
Consider the editor. He wear
eth purple and fine linen. His
abode is amongst the mansions
of the rich,
Lo! All the people breaketh
their necks to hand him money.
A child is born unto the wife of
a merchant in the bazar. The
physician getteth 10 golden
plunks. The editor writeth a
stick and a half and telleth the
multitude that the child tippeth
the beam at nine pounds. Yea,
he lieth even as a centurion. And
the proud father giveth him a
cigar.
Behold the young one groweth
up and graduateth. And the ed
itor putteth into his paper a swell i
notice. Yea, a peach of a notice.
He telleth of the wisdom of the
young woman, and of her ex
ceedingly comeliness. Like unto
the roses of Sharon is she and
her gown played up to beat the
the band. And the dressmaker
getteth two score and four iron
men. And the editor getteth a
note of thanks from the S. G. G.
The daughter goeth a journey.
And tne editor throweth himself
on the story of the farewell par
ty. It runneth a column solid.
And the fair one remembers him
from afar with a picture post
card that costeth a sixth part of
a jitney.
Behold, she returneth and the
youth of the city fall down and
worship. She picketh one, and
lo, she picketh a lemon. But the j
editor calleth him one of our
most promising young men and
getteth away with it. And they
send him a bid to the wedding
feast, and behold, the bids are
fashioned by Muntgommery and
Hawbuck, in a far city. Flowery
and long is the wedding notice:
which the editor printeth. The
minister getteth ten bones. The j
groom standeth the editor off for
a 12-month subscription.
All flesh is grass, and in time
the wife is gathered into the silo.
The minister getteth his bit. The
editor printed a death notice, two [
columns of obituary, three lodge J
notices, a cubit of po*. try and a
card of thanks. And he forget
teth to read proof on the head,;
and the darned thing cometh out
“Gone to Her Last Roasting!
Place.”
Ana an mat are aKin to me ae
ceased jumpeth on the editor
with exceeding great jumps.
And they pulleth out their ads
and canceileth their subscriptions
and they swing the hammer unto
the third and fourth generations.
Canst thou beat it?—Pittsburg
