All the Alaskans who have made their headquar
ters with us in the past, and those who are con

most convenient to the shopping district, thea
tres, churches and public buildings, absolutely
fire-proof. Rates: $1.00 per day and up, without
bath; $1.50 per day and up with bath.
Don’t forget the place—the Savoy Hotel.

(Seattle P.-I.)
J. L. McPherson, manager of the
Alaska bureau of the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce, who returned Satur
day from a visit to the coast towns of
that territory, said he found the con
ditions compared with those which
prevailed prior to 1914, and far more
optimistic even than on his last visit
during the spring.
Mr. McPherson, who, as a mining
and railroad engineer, visited nearly
every part of Alaska during the 15
years before he became secretary of
the Alaska bureau, was tendered a
banquet in Anchorage and later an
other banquet in the same city by the
Anchorage Chamber of Commerce,
and on both these occasions the work
of the Alaska bureau of the local
chamber in behalf of Alaska was
warmly commended.
Mr. McPherson said that Anchorage
was a wonderland. A year ago an
unbroken forest, today a modern town
of 3,500 population, including 340
children, 195 of whom are of school
age. Graveled streets, 78 blocks of
sidewalks, four of concrete, 335 build
ings in the fire district and over a
thousand estimated outside of the fire
district. Many of the buildings, he
said, are two and three stories, and
include a number of concrete struc
tures and a moving picture theatre
that cost $27,000.
“ The government railroad under
construction from Anchorage as a
base, directed by Commissioner Fred
erick L. Mears,” said McPherson,
“ shows a progress that reflects the
greatest credit on the organizing and
■admininistrative ability of Lieut.
Mears. I traversed the line for a dis
tance of 85 miles and found, as viewed
by an engineer, 85 miles of efficiency.
Lieut. Mears has developed a most ef
ficient organization. He has a force
of about 3,600 men working over a dis
tance of about 200 miles. By the end
of October there will be from 85 to 90
miles of track laid, exclusive of 79
miles of sidings and terminals. The
main line of the railroad will be fin
ished from Anchorage north to a
point about 12 miles beyond Matanus
ka, a total of 48 miles, and south from
Anchorage, a distance of 15 miles to
Potter crek, which will be the base
camp for the heavy rock work along
Turnagain Aim.
“ The Matanuska branch line will
be completed to King’s river, a dis
tance of 25 miles from Matanuska
Junction.
No Longer a “ Man’s Country.”
“ The Northwest Land Products ex
position has aroused much interest
throughout the north and many ex
hibits of Alaska’s resources will be
sent down.
“ The new era of development, on
which Alaska is now fairly launched
is everywhere apparent. The new
conditions are to the old-timers start
ling. The steamer Alameda on her
trip of August 27, departed from Seat
tle with 54 women, 24 children and 38
men, none of whom were tourists, and
18 of the men were traveling sales
men—conclusive evidence that Alaska
is rapidly becoming a land of homes.
B. H. Behrends, the pioneer merchant
and banker of Juneau, in commenting
on this change of conditions said:
‘ Look down through my store and you
will note that the customers are wom
en and children. Alaska can no longer
be classed as a man’s country.’
“ And such a country has Alaska at
last become,” concluded Mr. McPher
son.
