SOME REASONS FOR FAITH IN
ANCHORAGE.
The only way to build up a town
Is to go ahead and build It. That
is what Ancnorage is doing at this
time, the only handicap to much
greater progress being the lack of
building lumber. With the coming
of building material, now on the
way. the town' will witness a verit
able building boom. Before the set
ting in of another winter season, the
i Anchorage of the present will be but
i a fleeting memory of the past, so
great will be the changes and im
provements. This is not Idle boom
talk. It is as much of a certhinty
as anything not an accomplished fact
can be. We who have lived at Ship
creek since the founding of the tent
town have had the rare opportunity
of watching the process of evolution.
We have seen a wilderness of a year
ago turned into a prosperous com
munity'—a beehive of industry and
activity. And this substantial growth
and expansion is but at its incep
tion.
There may be pessimistic individ
uals who will question the future of
Anchorage; who may honestly be
lieve that this town will be prosper
ous while railway construction is
under way, but when this great
work is completed, think that about
ends it all. We cannot for a mo
ment accept such a belief. In the
first place, there was reason for se
lecting the spot now called Anchor
age as the chief base of railway con
struction activities. The Alaskan
Engineering Commission was not
concerned about any particular
place. It was concerned only in se
lecting as a base the most advan
tageous point for the purpose in
view. Now, why was Anchorage se
lected? Solely because of its ad
vantageous location, forming, as It
does, a natural base for the sur
rounding country and being the head
of navigation on Cook inlet. And if
Anchorage was the point selected
above all others for a railway con
struction base, why will it not con
tinue to be the chief base for the
developing resources for the rich
and resourceful country which this
big railway system will open? It
will be. ,
Having then the most desirable lo
cation in this part of Alaska for a
city, what else is necessary? We be
lieve the little word “faith” ex
presses it all. Faith to go ahead and
do things. One industry brings an
other, and that still another, and so
on. And we have observed that the
citizenship ot Anchorage have the
right spirit. Beople hero do things.
