ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1916.
GOING AFTER THAT SMELTER.
With commendable public spirit in behalf of Anchorage,
the Chamber of Commerce is communicating with Mr. Henry
D. Reynolds, inviting him to come to this place and make an
investigation of the ore-producing prospects of this part of
Alaska, before definitely deciding upon the location for the
smelter which he has in prospect. If Mr. Reynolds comes tc
Anchorage, and we trust that he will come, he will find a live
progressive young community; he will find men that will give
him accurate information about the mineral wealth of the
Broad Pass country’ and the TVilow creek gold camp; he wil
find public-spirited citizens who will lend him every possible
aid and encouragement in bringing to full fruition his plain
for a big enterprise that will vastly as-ist in the developmen
of the country round about.
On beliaif of Anchorage and the country contiguous, Tin
Times extends a most cordial welcome to Mr. Reynolds, a mai
who does things. If he comes to take a look for himself, Mr
Reynolds will find himself among people of like mind—peoph
who believe in doing tilings; who believe in progress; who be
lieve in development and growth; who believe that if thing
are to be accomplished, energy and intelligent effort ax-'
needed.
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR GOOD INVESTMENT
It would be a good paying business proposition, in tht
opinion of The Times, if some individual or company woulc
erect a large warm and cold storage warehouse in Anchorage
The warehouse should contain stalls and the stalls could b(
rented by the local merchants and tradesmen. The prime ob
ject of such a warehouse would be the protection of an ade
quate supply of goods and merchandise, should it occur that a
serious conflagration visited the town. It is the part of wis
dom to prepare for such an emergency. The warehouse could
be erected at a point separate and apart from other structures
and the danger from fire would be reduced to a minimum, by
the exercise of ordinary discretion on the part of the manage
ment. Such a storage warehouse would be a desirable place
for the keeping of surplus stocks, whether requiring warm or
cold storage.
NOMINEE HUGHES OPENS CAMPAIGN.
In a speech accepting the republican nomination for pres
ident, Charles Evans Hughes opened the political campaigi
and gave the keynote a^ to the point of attack against the in
cumbent administration. Republican stump speakers wno wil
participate in the campaign will follow the leader and attacl
that which justly calls for attack—the weak and uncertain, tin
timid and dilatory, foreign policy that has prevailed through
out the length of the "Wilson regime.
Indications are not wanting to show that for the mos
part the members of the progressive party, which has no presi
dential nominee, will support the republican party. They wil
do this because the republican nominee is a man of progress
ive thought, and is recognized throughout the country as ai
able, strong and experienced personage, fitted in all essentia
things to fill the high office which he seeks. Then again, tht
platforms of the republican and the progressive parties art
very similar, both being marked by progressiveness.
Securing the normal republican vote, which he will do
and gaining the much greater number of the progressive votes
the election of Mr. Hughes is not difficult to forecast.
In Alaska the re-election of Delegate James Wickershan
is assured, despite the efforts of his opponent—Charles Sul
zer—who is now campaigning in the territory. Mr. Sulzer i
a good man, so far as we know, but as long as Alaska can hav
the services of a man of the ability and experience of Delegat
Wickersham, it is not plain why he should n6t be re-elected
h rom a financial standpoint, Delegate Wickersham is the lose
by remaining in congress, but he is leading the fight of the pen
pie as against the hoggish monopolists, and it is the expres
wish of a big majority of his constituents that he remain there
The Chamber of Commerce has already initiated actioi
with respect to securing a twice-a-week mail service durim
the winter months. The chamber recommends to the post
office authorities tha; in lieu of the once-a-week mail of six
teen hundred pounds, a twice-a-week mail of eight hundre<
pounds be given us. It is desirable to take up these matter
in time, as has the local chamber, which is a live, energetic
organization devoted to the interests of Anchorage. We some
times wonder if the efforts of the officers and members are ap
predated by those not affiliated, but who derive the same bene
fits from results obtained as do the members. If you are no
a member of the chamber, join and aid in building up the town
