ENJOYS A UNIQUE DISTINCTION.
Anchorage, Uncle Sam's youngest, city, with a population of
6,000 people, has the unique distinction of probably being the
only city under this government to observe Memorial Day.
Having no honored dead of either the north or south to pay
their respects to, and in the absence of a soldier’s grave, the
children of the public schools scattered wreaths, flowers and
the American flag on the waters of Ship creek, a swift-running
stream that empties into the arm of the ocean at Anchorage.
The fraternal orders of the Pllks Masons and Odd Fellows and
the dignitaries of both the city and the Alaskan Engineering
Commission, together with the school children, took part in
the exercises.
THE BEST IS NONE TOO GOOD.
In order to be abreast of the rapid growth and development
of this town The Times will spare no expense in providing An
chorage with the largest, best equipped and most up-to-date
printing plant in Alaska. Although the paper has been owned
by thn present management but a month today, the advertisers
and reading public have shown their appreciation of the effort
made to give thm a bigger, better and newsier daily, and these
improvements are only a forerunner of what is to follow.
On every incoming steamer new stock and material is being
rece:ved, and on the Mariposa, due tonight, a paper
folder will be received- to be fo1 lowed shortly by more presses,
now on the way here from the factory. Realizing that the con
stantly increasing business will demand the issuance of a
twelve-page paper, another typesetting machine was ordered
by wire yesterday. Upon its arrival the Times will be able to
set more reading matter and thus add new features that will
undoubtedly prove attractive and entertaining to our sub
scribers.
A BOULEVARD FOR ANCHORAGE.
There is no more ideal place in Alaska than Anchorage for
ihe establishment of a boulevard. Here the country is per
fectly level and the ground of such a character that road mak
ing is easy and inexpensive. The idea of having a boulevard
for the use of automobiles and other vehicles in the summer
and over which course the dog team races could be run in the
winter has been suggested by a number of our prominent citi- j
zens. among them being President AVendler, of the Chamber
of Commerce.
The following out of this idea would not only prove a good
advertisement for the town, but also furnish an enjoyable
drive for those fortunate enough to own machines or to ride
with those who do. The boulevard could be made and main
tained at a comparatively small cost, and is a matter well
worth considering.
Tlie roadway on Fourth avenue is now in excellent condi
tion, and by extending it on L street to Eighth avenue and
north on Eighth to Recreation Park the drive would encircle
the town and afford a course for a orood spin.
Information received from Rnl.y is to the effect that the
voters of the Fourth division are determined to re-elect Sen
ator Daniel Sutherland and Representative C. K. Snow tins
fall. This is as it should be, as they wei*e excellent members of
tl.-c last legislature and should bo retained in public service.
Both are old-time Alaskans and know the needs of the resi
dents and conditions of the territory, thus equipping them to
discharge their duties in an intelligent and satisfactory man
ner. If the entire legislative bodies were composed of such
men the results attained at the Juneau sessions would certain
ly prove beneficial to the people.
The “Kobukers” who took part in the famous stampede up
the Kobuk river in Alaska in 1898 recently celebrated their
second annual reunion by holding a banquet at the Frye hotel
in Seattle. There was a large gathering of old-timers, and all
those who participated in the event were of a reminiscent
frame of mind and some thrilling experiences and good stories
were told.
