Anchorage, Alaska
SATURDAY, AUG. 21, 1915
Credit to Whom Credit Is Due
The Pioneer takes this occa
sion, now that the sale of town
lots in Anchorage is over, for this
year at least, to compliment Mr.
Andrew Christensen, the super
intendent of sale, whose conduct
of this delicate task was all that
could be desired. He won praise
and gained the confidence of the
entire community for his business
like handling of the situation and
fair and square dealing with pur
chasers of property. High and
low, rich and poor, were treated
with equal courtesy and consid
eration. Everything was open
and above board.
And in passing we might add
that in the person of Mr. J. A.
Moore, the townsite manager, we
have an official who inspires con
fidence and who is giving the ut
most satisfaction. It is no easy
matter to satisfactorily adjust the
many matters that require at
tention at the founding of a
town. There are numerous de
tails to work out that require
much thought and capable man
agement, and we are persuaded,
in view of the progress of things
generally, that no mistake was
made in selecting Mr. Moore.
The city engineer, Mr. J. G.
Watts, is another official who is
on the job all the time, and
knows what he is doing every
minute of the day. His excel
lent training under the noted en
gineer, R. H. Thompson, stands
him well at this time.
The health and sanitary officer.
Dr. H. W. Stoughton, is guard
ing the health of the community
with a watchful eye, and we may
rest in the assurance that there
■will be no contagious diseases
arising here, a danger and dread
to most new, inchoate settlements
wholly without proper sanitary
regulations.
In a recent issue of the Pio
neer, the statement was errone
ously made, through a typo
graphical error, that 25,000 tons
of railway material would arrive
in Anchorage during August. It
should have read 2,500 tons.
This paper has no wish to pub
lish misleading statements of;
this nature, hence the correction
at this time. Our aim is to pub
lish only correct information re
garding the big railway project I
now under construction, and in I
this connection we will say that
Commissioner Mears has treated
us with every courtesy and con
sideration in his willingness to
give out matters ripe for publi
cation.
Anchorage is fortunate in hav
ing a live, wideawake commer
cial club and it is a real pleasure
to attend meetings of the organ
ization and hear discussions on
topics of local interest. The
meetings have been well attend
ed and it is to be hoped the in
terest thus far evinced will be
continued. Such an organization
is a power for good and merits
the support of all interested in
the town’s welfare.
The increased price, compara
tively speaking, which purchas-1
ers paid for lots at the second
sale at Anchorage, is a very
strong indication of the faith of
people in the future of the town.
For a goo<l meal—home cooking, go
to the Morrison house, when in Knik.

A Merited Rebuke
Commissioner Riggs, in an in
terview in the Seward Gateway,
very justly takes to task the nar
rowness and provincialism dis
played by some of the newspa
pers in the coast towns of Alas
ka, when discussing the hip
Alaskan railway project. The
Cordova papers are especially
prone to cast insinuations against
the government selection of the
Susitna route over the Copper
river route. In a recent issue
one of them publishes a lenpthy
interview from an unknown min
inp man who assumes to know it
all and who attempts, in a feeble
way, to condemn the Susitna
route, at the same time laudinp
the Copper river route.
As a matter of fact, the pov
ernment has made the best se
lection of a route that could have
been made. No intellipent per
son familiar with the peopraphy
of the country will seek to refute
this statement.
The route chosen will open the
greatest and best coal measures
in Alaska, placing them, with a
terminal at Anchorage, within an
easy down-grade haul to tide
water. It likewise will open the
most favorable agricultural sec
tion in the northland, namely,
the Matanuska and Susitna val
leys. Then the mining wealth of
this region is as great and im
portant as in any other part of
the territory.
Most decidedly, the best, most
feasible, most easily built and
most practical route has been se
lected. A high and responsible
duty was placed upon the-shoul
ders of the Alaskan Engineering
Commission in submitting cor
rect information with respect to
the various routes available for
the big Alaska railway project.
The data collected and placed be
fore the president and secretary
of the interior, led to the selec
tion of what is termed the Susit
na valley route.
Notwithstanding the petty,
childish insinuations of those who
may not protit by the choice, the
fact remains that the best route
was selected, and those respon
sible for the selection are to be
congratulated for their wise de
cision.
When you wish to rest, go to
the Pioneer hotel, Knik. Frank
Cannon, proprietor. x
I hereby give notice that I will
not be responsible for any debts
hereafter contracted in my name
by my wife, Edith L. Jacobson.
