KEEPING PACE WITH A GROWING TOWN
In order to give our patrons prompt and efficient service—
to continue the business on a broad, progressive basis, The Dai
ly Times lias made many improvements and additions to its
plant, including the installation of new job presses, a newspa
per folding machine, the latest faces in job and advertising
type and other material that is necessary in the conduct of a
growing and up-to-date daily newspaper.
The latest innovation is a model “B” Intertype, a simpli
fied multiple magazine composing machine with two instantly
removable, interchangeable magazines. The standard Quick
change typesetting machine of the world. This is in addition
to the Mergenthaler No. 5 Linotype and with these two ma
chines that are the last word in the printing art we are pre
pared to print any sized paper and do the same class of job
work that is obtainable in the states.
Having faith in the stability and future of Anchorage no
expense has been spared to make this the best-equipped and
most complete plant in Alaska; that we have succeeded is at
tested by all who have inspected the office, and this increasing
growth and success are, we believe, as much matters of per
sonal pride and gratification to the residents of Anchorage and
Cook Inlet as they are to ourselves.
STATEHOOD FOR ALASKA.
Tn a lengthy and well-written article Dr. F. M. Boyle, an
old-time resident of Alaska, sets forth his views on statehood
for Alaska and he presents some strong arguments in favor of
that form of government.
During the present session of Congress Delegate Wicker
sham introduced in the national House of Representatives a
hill providing that “the people of the territory of Alaska be
and they are hereby authorized to form for themselves a con
stitution and state government, under the name of the State of
Alaska, which state, when so formed, shall be admitted into
the union as hereinafter provided.”
It will he a red letter day in Alaska’s history when this
territory is admitted into the sisterhood of states. While
dud go Wickorsham does not have any hope of the immediate
passage of this measure, he has taken time by the forelock in
introducing his bill, in the hope of calling the attention of
the people of the country as well as the members of Congress in
the belief that when the psychological moment arrives his la
bors will nut have been in vain.
Two United States Senators and four members of the
House of Representatives, one of the latter to be elected from
each of the four divisions, are provided for in the bill. Some
of the opponents of the measure point that Alaska shall not
have suflicient population to justify its admission into the un
ion of status. Nevada at present only has 81,875 people within
its border, while the population of Alaska according to the last
census was fi4,.‘»5G. Since then work has begun on the new gov
cmmnet railroad and it is safe to say that there will now be a
steady increase in the number of people making Alaska their
home.
Whatever your ideas may be as to statehood it Is worth
your while to peruse Dr. Boyle’s article and weigh carefully
the arguments presented by him in favor of Alaska’s star be
ing the next one added to Old Glory.
A LOT OF NONSENSE.
W. A. <iilmore, one of the delegates to the recent republi
can convention at Chicago from Alaska, has returned to his
home in Seattle, .and in defending his claim that he is a resi
dent of Alaska, he is quoted as saying that his only income
bearing property is in Alaska, which according to him, con
stitutes his right to be an Alaskan. What a lot of nonsense
coming from a man of Mr. Gilmore’s intelligence! Conclu
sively, he must think we are all fools and that anything tie
may say or do will be accepted. Because a man has a few
shares in a bank, it does not necessarily follow that he is.a di
rector. In law, the intention is to reside in Seattle. His ac
tion proves that. However, if the law now in force in such a
matter can be construed to favor Mr. Gilmore, it is about time
it should be changed. For Alaskans to be governed by offi
cials at Washington, D. C., should be sufficient without hav
ing meddlers in Seattle.—Ketchikan Progressive-Miner.
EMPLOYMENT FOR THE IDLE MEN.
The Alaskan Engineering Commission is today advertising
for seventy-five additional laborers to be used in construction
work, which is to be rushed forth as rapidly as material and
men are available. The employment of these extra men is only
a forerunner of the number that will be added to the pay roll of
the government railroad from this time forward. The fact
that the help needed could not easily be secured is a refutation
of the statement made in so many Alaska newspapers that An
chorage is overcrowded with idle men. Recently a cannery
man from along the coast visited here and he too was unable
to hire all the men desired. This is a healthy condition for any
community and especially a new camp where so many people
flock in the hope of finding something to do.
GRAND JURY IS CALLED
TO INVESTIGATE STRIKE
TACOMA, July 19.—The strike sit
uation has resulted so seriously that
the superior court has called a grand
jury to investigate the acts of both
the longshoremen and the steamship
companies.
LONDON STREET VENDERS
ARE FAST DISAPPEARING
LONDON, July 10.—The war has
hit even London’s street venders. The
old men who hold little trays in front
of them along the curbs are slowly
disappearing, “nobody knows where,”
says a London poor expert.
Hugh H. Bennett and Arthur C.
Ringland, of the U. S. department of
agriculture, bureau of soils and the
forest service, have arrived in An
chorage preparatory to making a re
connaisance of the Chugach National
forests The particular purpose of
their work is to inspect in the field
the classification work of the forest
service classification parties. These
parties have been mapping out the
agricultural and timber areas for the
past two years, particularly the Ke
nai peninsula, with the view ta listing
the portions valuable for homesteads
and those for timber. A large num
ber of homesteads have already been
taken up under the forest homestead
act under which the necessary pur
veys are made at government ex
pense. The completion of the classi
fication maps will be of great help to
prospective settlers and save them
expense in locating. Since soil sam
ples have been taken throughout the
areas mapped by the forest service
field parties exact information as to
the character of the land and its
value will be available to the public.
Specimens of the various species of
timber particularly the spruce, hem
lock and birch are now undergoing
tests at the laboratory of the forest
service at Madison, Wisconsin, to de
termine their mechanical and chemi
cal properties with a view to use for
mining timbers, pulp and other pur
poses.
The passage of the recent Shackle
ford road bill provides a fund of one
million dollars a year for the next
ten years for the construction of
roads and trails in the national for
ests, the money to be returned to the
treasury of the United States from
the earnings of the various forests.
Since this act is applicable to Alaska,
the road and trail needs of the Chu
gach national forest will be particu
larly reported upon by Messrs. Ben
nett and Ringland in the course of
their inspection trip. They expect to
be engaged in this work for the next
four months and Will make Anchor
age their headquarters.
Mr. Bennett was in this region
three seasons ago and is the co-author
letin on the soils of the Kenai penin
sula, the Susitna, the Matanuska, and
Tanana regions. His work this sea
son will be more local in view of the
detailed classification map data now
in course of compilation by the forest
service.
The national forests are under the
administration of the secretary of ag
riculture and this makes it possible to
use the specialists of the various bu
reaus such as the forest service, bu
reau of soils, farm management, road
and rural engineering and the like for
their fullest possible development.
The building of the government rail
way has stimulated the activities of
these bureaus to the end that in co
operation with the Alaskan Engineer
ing commission and the interior de
partment the fullest possible use may
be made of the national forest areas.
CHAMBER IS AFTER
BETTER ROADS
At the meeting of the executive
committee of the Anchorage Cham
ber of Commerce last night several
matters of importance were taken up
and other matters of interest were
discussed that can not be made pub
lic at this time. The all-important is
sue ol Good lioads was the princi
pal topic of discussion and it was the
sense of the committee that they
should devote more time and atten
tion to the matter of better roads for
this section and endeavor, through
Colonel Richardson, to get at least a
part of this appropriation.
It is perfectly apparent that Com
missioner Richardson’s memory is
either short or he is under the im
pression that the Alaskan Engineer
ing commission is also in the wagon
road business in addition to building
railroads. An effort will be made ti
see John Zug, who is in this vicinity,
representing the roads commission to
day to see what definite action they
may expect from his department.
Secretary Koch was instructed to
get together a comprehensive exhibit
to be sent to the Northwestern Prod
ucts Exposition to be held in Seattle
from October the first to the tenth
and Mr. Koch has started in on this
important work.
The matter of a city dock to be
used by the smaller crafts was undei
discussion and the secretary was in
structed to look into the advisability
of the matter and confer with the
proper authorities in regard to this
project.
Jas. O’Reilly was appointed an ad
ditional committeeman on the “Good
Roads’’ committee and the $6.90 bal
ance left over from the Fourth of
July celebration turned over to the
Welfare association.
Jeremiah Murphy, the Anchorage
wheel horse of the democratic party,
in Anchorage, announces through the
columns of The Daily Times that he
has received the cards for the Demo
cratic league and each member may
become possessed of one by calling
at the law office of Murphy and Almy
and signifying his leaning towards
democratic principles.

Bought from Russia in 1867 for
$7,200,000 and comprising an area
one-fifth the size of the United
States, the acquisition of Alaska
was made with a view of extending
national jurisdiction and republican
principles in the American nemis'
phere, and the purchase of the ter
ritory ranks as one of tne greatest
real estate deals in the world’s his
tory. Commemorating the 49th an
niversary of the transfer of the ter
ritory to the United States rrom
Russia, Representative James Wick
ersham recently introduced the
Alaska statehood bill.
With a population at the present
time of approximately 90,000 people
the greater proportion of whom are
American citizens, we ask the priv
ilege of having a voice and a vote
in making the laws to whlcn we are
subjected, as one of the inalienable
rights declared in the Declaration
of Independence, a right at present
enjoyed only in a limited way.
In the acquisition of Alaska sub
stantially the same obligations were
assumed hy the United States as in
the purchase of Louisiana and Cali
fornia. The inhabitants of the ac
quired territory were to be admitted
to the enjoyment of all the rights,
advantages and immunities of citi
zens of the United States. In Tact,
American statesmen who conducted
and concluded the negotiations for
the purchase from Russia employed
the form used in the acquisition of
the great Western states. There
fore Alaska stands exactly equal in
respect to its entrance into the Dody
of the nation, and the United States
is bound bv exactly the same prom
ise made to Oregon. Washington,
California and other Western states
in complying with Alaska’s request
for admittance into the union.
Seaboard of 3,000 Miles.
This embryo state, while noncon
tiguous, is, notwithstanding, entit
led to the same consideration and
treatment as its elder brothers and
sisters received in their youthful
struggles for a start in life, fof it is
a part of the body of the nation.
Alaska’s vast coast line extendi
30.000 miles in length, a large por
tion of which is washed by the Jap
anese current, exercising a marked
influence upon the temperature of
tthe southern coast-line region, mod
erating the climatic conditions,
which are similar to what prevail
summer and winter upon the middle
Atlantic seaboard between Boston,
Mass., and Richmond, Va.
On the southern portion of the
territory on the great Gulf of Alasr
ka nature has provided the largest
and grandest harbors in the world,
as easily protected and fortified as
Philadelphia or San Francisco.
Numerous interior harbors, unriv
aled in strategic position for ship
ping and naval use, branch inland
from these great outer harbors,, up
on which are located the principal
commercial centers; and, favored by
the warm Japanese current, ice nev
er forms, which cannot be said of
Philadelphia, New York and Boston.
Alaska extends for a distance of
3.000 miles west of the Pacific sea
board of the United States directly
north, but tributaray to the linees of
ocean travel to the Orient and with
innumerable, harbors suitable for
naval bases and coaling stations.
Naturally defended by mountain
sites tor fortifications, the future
strategic value of this territory of
the United States in maintaining
our prestige on the Pacific coast
cannot be overestimated and is, in
fact, beyond the1 computation of hu
man amnmeuc.
Grandeur Excels the World.
The Mpponese are aptly styled
the Prussians of the East. They are
undoubtedly aware that the Ameri
can navy does not possess a 60-day
supply of coal on the Pacific and it
is a recognized fact that they nave
looked with longing eyes for years
upon the greatly increasing produc
tion of our territory, holding, as it
does the key to the domination of
the Pacific.
The ' great Alaskan Gulf, includ
ing Bristol Bay, Bering Sea and
thousands of tributary streams,
abounds with fish of a superior
quality—salmon, halibut and cod
predominating. The value of the
salon pack alone for the year of
1915 exceeds $18,000,000. On the
shore line in many places shellfish
and other seafoods are plentiful and
the people living on the coast can
rightly say, “when the tide is out,
the table is set.”
The slogan applied to the Ameri
can tourist, “See America First,”
should be made particularly to ap
ply to Alaska, for in the grandeur of
itB pcenery and tne magnificence of
its mountain ranges; glaciers and
volcanoes, Alaska, without exception
excels the world. Mount McKinley,
arising to a height of nearly four
miles,* 20,664 feet, is only one o^ a
dozen or more peaks which overtop
the highest in America. The just
ly famous Vesuvius, of Italy, can be
duplicated in Alaska, for we nave
many active volcanoes.
Abounding In Game.
The country abounds with lakes,
rivers and mountain streams, afford
ing the finest fishing and hunting in
the world. The moose and bear of
Alaska are the largest specimens
known, while caribou, deer, moun
tain sheep, goats and water fowl
furnish game for the sportman
with minimum of effort.
The total mineral output ana the
sea and fur production, since Alas
ka’s purchase from Russia up to the
present time, exceed the sum of
$600,000,000. And the volume of
merchandise shipped between the
United States and Alaska for the fis
cal year 1915 was more than $70,
000,000.
All Known Minerals Exist.
It is not only a land of gold but
platinum, tin, iron, lead, ana, in fact
all the known minerals exist and
await development; for, so far, the
country has only been superncially
explored and prospected. The larg
est copper deposits in the world are
now being developed, the output of
this commidty alone for the year
1915 being valued at $20,000,000.
Along the southern coast the exis
tence of large mountain ranges, pon
derous glaciers and snow-covered
peaks are apt to give one unfamiliar
with the complexities of the topo
graphy and climate of the territory
the Impression that Alaska is a re
gion of inhospitable mountains, gla
ciers and perpetual snowg a coun
try without farming possiDilities.
The fact is, based upon the prelim
inary surveys made by the United
Statees Geological Survey anu re
connaissances by the Department of
Agriculture, that there are millions
of acres of level land in various
parts of the territory, topographi
cally an.d climatically well solted to
farming. With the equable sum
mer climate, long hours of sunsnine
and the exceptional quality of the
soil, farming in the future State of
the North is destined to become a
mainstay of the country.
The climatic conditions are very
similar to what prevail throughout
Canada, with the exception that we
have from 17 to 22 hours or sun
shine during the months of June,
July and August. This necessarily
stimulates and puts vigor into all
forms of plant life, which responds
so readily to the magic touch or the
sun.
Agricultui al Products Thrive.
All the hardier vegetables tnrlve;
potatoees are a staple crop and their
importation from the states, quite
general in the past, has virtually
ceased, and the celery raised in the
interior sections excels the famous
Kalamazoo product. In certain lo
calises wild berries are In aoun
dance and the recent productions of
cultivated strawberries have proved
successful. Several of the towns in
the southeastern section of the ter
ritory and in the interior, born an
nual agricultural and horticultural
fairs, where the finest variety or
grains, grasses, vegetables and flow
ers are exhibited.
To establish further the possibili
ties of agriculture a comparison
with Norway, Sweden, Finland and
the Province of Archangel in Rus
sia, all countries lying in (he same
latitude as Alaska and covering ap
proximately the same area, has been
made. It is established that the to
pography, climate, soil and plant life
are very similara. These countries
in Euiope sustain a population of
11,000,000 people and have more
than 8,000,000 acres of land under
cultivation, producing cereals of all
kinds; the total yield annually of
wheat, rye, barley and oats exceed
ing 195,000,0 00 -bushels, a state
ment based on dependable statistics.
In additon, live stock returns for
these countries show horses, 1,500,
000; cattle, 6,100,o0G; sheep, 4,
000,000; and hogs, 14,000,00; cer
tainly, with the development of ag
griculture as in Europe to supple
ment our mining, fishing, and other
industries, Alaska should support a
population of 15,000,000 American
peopre.
In the past a factor which has
naturally handicapped the develop
ment of the Pacific coast has been
the absence of coal of a suitable
quality. The American navy sta
tioned on the Pacific is dependent
upon British coal for its sustenance
or such coal as may be shipped from
the Atantic seaboard at an expense
of $9 per ton for transportation
alone; consequently, we maintain
our navy at an enormous expense
for fuel and for want of a ready
supply of coal on the Pacific coast,
in case of war, we might as well be
deprived of this particular or de
fense.
Reconnaissance surveys conducted
by government engineers show that
Alaskan coal fields cover an area of
20,000 square miles, and exnaus
tive tests conducted by the navy
prove the coal to be of a superior
quality particularly suited for' nav
al purposes. Within another year
jupon the completion of the govern
ment railroad, a portion of this vast
coal area will be made accessible,
thereby stimulating the manufactur
ing, mining and smelting industries
of the great Pacific Northwest. The
extent of the anthracite coal depos
its has not been yet fully determined
but it is estimated by government
geologists at about one-sixth or the
total known area.
This coal which occurs largely in
the Matanuska fields, tributary to
the government railroad now build
ing, will compare favorably with
the Pennsylvania or Virginia pro
duct, and the development of these
fields will give immediate employ
ment to thousands of people.
The building of 1,000 miles of
railroad, authorized by Congress and
now under course of construction
will prove to be one of the greatest
factors in rendering accessible the
vast interior of Alaska and the es
tablishment of new mining and bus
iness centers. Already new towns
are springing up along the railroad
right of way,« and several thousand
homesteads, comprising agricultural
land, each 320 acres in area have
been taken up by settlers and are be
ing gradually placed under cultiva
tion. ,
While as yet strictly pioneer con
ditions prevail and settlements are
largely confined to communities in
the vicinity of mining camps, for the
country is largely inaccessible, ow
ing to the absence of adequate roads
yet at the same time there is no
country in the world today which of
fers such opportunities for the young
man properly endowed physically
and with the right spirit of stick-to
it-ness.
Alaska with her unlimited and va
ried resources and vast possibilities
of mining, agriculture and com
merce, seeks admission to the fam
ily of states as the 49th star or the
union. It is ctrtainly an inalienable
right of the people of this Nortnern
Empire that they be granted the
same privileges and immunities now
enjoyed by the people of the 4 8 j
states of the unioon and that they
be admitted upon an equality.
With statehood the development
of the latent wealth of Alaska will
be materially hastened, and the re
sults within the next few years will
amaze the world. The people have
faith in the country. They are
building homes, developing resourc
es, taking up homesteads and estab
lishing permanent settlements. They
do not seek special favors, but ask a
square deal.
Alaska needs statehood because
Congress which now governs it, and
the various official government bu
reaus in Washington are situated
thousands of milese distant. They
know little about the territory or
the wants and requirements of the
population and have not the time to
give the intelligent consideration and
attention required.
