News Thanks
Times Force
The staff of the Alaska Labor News
takes this occasion to express its
grateful appreciation to the force of
the Anchorage Daily Times for its
generous assistance in getting out our
first issue in the remarkably short
time of three days.
We wish particularly, to thank the
mechanical department, since it did
much or t of the ordinary to make our
first number what it was: An unusu
ally good-appearing paper. This ac
complishment speaks highly for the
co-ordination of the various depart
ments which quite nearly approaches
that of the interstitial adjustment of
its linotypes.
That these union boys are with us
goes without saying. We thank you.
JACK DALTON TO
LEAVE ALASKA
(Cordova Times)
Alaska is soon to lose one of its
most picturesque characters. Jack
Dalton, the well-known old-timer and
trail-blazer, who has sold his exten
sive realty holdings at Cordova and
will go outside to reside and enjoy the
rest of his days. The Dalton trail
over which stampeders in the early
days rushed to the gold fields was
named after him. He was among the
first to locate here and several years a
legal was was waged between Dalton
and the railroad company over the
possession of waterfront property
which he occupied and the company
claimed for terminal purposes. After
having threshed the case out in the
local courts, and while it was being
taken up on appeal to a higher tribu
nal, a satisfactory adjustment was
reached between the parties concerned
and now the railroad people have pur
chased all of Mr. Dalton’s interests
here, and he and his family are about
to leave the northland. In their new
place of abode,, wherever it may be,
they will take with them the well
wishes of a large circle of friends.

Iditarod Man's
Aerial Mail Bid
Is Satisfactory
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—Uncle i
Sam’s aeroplane mail route into
Alaska, contracted for some time ago,
cannot start because the European war
is gobbling up all the aeroplanes as
fast as they’re made.
Second Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Praeger, who is in charge of the
new air route between Seward and
Iditarod, Alaska, is in high hope that
the route will be in operation by
spring, he said today. The air line
will take the place of the old Mala
mute trail and instead of listening to
the postman’s whistle as most persons
do, the Alaskan folk will strain their
ears for the whirl of a 200-horse pow
er motor high up in the air.
Earl L. Byers, an Alaskan capital
ist, made a bid for the aeroplane serv
ice contract that was acceptable to the
government, and he’s trying hard to
get the aeros.
McADOO’S FARM LOA$
BOARD IS UNPOPULAR
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—Secre
tary McAdoo’s tour of the country
with the farm loan board is bringing
him some first-hand information re
garding the manner in which the peo
ple look upon this scheme. The north
has no use for it. Banks doing busi
ness under state charters, banks which
pay taxes, banks whose resources are
made out of the savings of the pru
dent and the thrifty, banks whose
management is in the hands of their ‘
depositors, banks whose operations
are safeguarded by wise laws and su
pervised by experienced officers—
there are banks like this all through
the north. And these banks can, and
do, lend money to farmers at as low
rates as the federal government can
possibly do it—unless the plan is to
take the taxpayers’ funds and make a
direct gift of them to the borrowing
farmer. Down south, of course, where
enterprise and thrift have lagged
somewhat and where usurious interest
rates have been found to prevail, the
land credit scheme may be helpful. In
fact, it was probably devised to be
helpful to the south—which is most
distinctly in the saddle nowadays.
