Chairman Edes
Gives Interview
to The Times
Chairman Wm. C. Edes would have
made a successful banker, for he is
endowed with two of the prime requi
sites, viz.: Shrewdness and conserva
tism and these two essentials possibly
play an important part in his present
responsible position which he is filling
so competently.
The matter of a harbor and ade
quate shipping facilities is without
question the all-important one to the
property owners and business men of
Anchorage at the present time and
quite naturally, for a harbor at this
point is the key-note of future devel
opment and really the foundation of
permanent real estate values.
The officials and the men in power
who are in a position to know and ad
vise have repeatedly promised a har
bor for Anchorage; city lots were
sold on this promise; business houses
were established and the rapid devel
opment of the city has virtually been
based on the repeated assertion that
Anchorage will have a harbor and
shipping facilities that will be ade
quate to handle the immense volume
of freight received by the Alaskan
Engineering Commission, the mer
chants of Anchorage and the big
shipments of coal anticipated from
the Matanuska and Chicaloon coal to
gether with the added tonnage that
I is bound to come with the develop
ment of the farming and mining in
dustries contiguous to your city.”
This certainly sounded good at the
time, nor did it lose weight in the rep
etition coming from Secretary Lane
on down to minor officials who appar
ently believed their own story.
There is no question in regard to
the truthfulness of the rumor that
Seward and the smaller coast towns
have given way to their jealous feel
ings and petty animosity in their re
peated attempts to block the future
development of Anchorage and "it
was especially pleasing to hear Chair
man Edes say last night in ^n inter
view with a committee of representa
tive Anchorage business men that the
people of Anchorage had no occasion
to worry from this source, as ‘‘the
combined brains of Seward would
have about as much weight in Wash
ington as he would have in Heaven.”
Mr. Edes further said to the cora
mittee composed of A. J. Wendler, J.
T. Westermann, George M. Campbell
and Chas. E. Herron who met with
him on board the Admiral Evans last
night in behalf of the harbor propo
sition that “you can tell the people of
Anchorage not to get cold feet for we
will build the harbor and docks.” Mr.
Edes said that there were many mat
ters to take into consideration which
were being investigated at this time
and that it was a question whether
the government would build a dredge
and do the work themselves or let it
by contract. Mr. Edes spoke of the
further development of the coal fields
before commencing work but this
wasn’t taken seriously by the com
mittee from the fact that the ques
tion of the amount of coal is settled
and the future development depends
largely on the government’s activity
in the matter of a harbor.
It wasn’t the intention of the com
mittee to find fault with Chairman
Edes in any particular but the idea
was to get some definite assertion of
just when the people of Anchorage
could expect active work on the har
bor and to this end asked several
point-blank questions and Mr. Edes
'finessed the queen with the ace in his
.hand, which is always in good form.
The committee’s report will be fav
orable and the summing up of the in
terview may be put in the concise
,-tatement of Mr. Edes when he said:
“You may tell the people of Anchor
age not to get cold feet—I haven’t.”
Mr. Edes told the committee that
he had advised Commissioner Mears
to take additional soundings and do
further boring to moi'e fully deter
mine the character of the ground to
be dredged and this work will com
mence at once.
Mr. Edes returned to Seward on
the Admiral Evans, where he will
take up several matters of importance
before making the contemplated trip
to Fairbanks and Nenana.
By request of those who were un
der the impression that “The Wishing
Ring” would be presented one night
only, this fascinating photo play in
five acts will be the screen program
at the Empress this evening, follow
ed by a comedy calculated to separate
you from th.e most pronounced case
of the “blues.”
Vivian Martin’s portrayal of Sally,
whose many curious adventures dur
ing the play is sure to pleasure you.
The story is beautiful and touching, a
real “Peg o’ My Heart” of the films.

New Pay Found
on Bear Creek
E. T. Haun arrived in Anchorage j
this morning from his placer work
ings on Bear creek and reports a new
discovery of importance to the min- [
ing circles. Mr. Haun and his uncle
Tom Haun have eight claims on Bear
creek running from the mouth of the
canyon to the tide line and reports a I
recent strike at a depth of 18 feet
that runs three quarters of a cent to
a cent and a half to the pan. This is
of importance from the fact that it
means the installation of a complete
hydraulic plant. Mr. Haun has clos
ed down for the season and will com
mence immediately to lay the balance
of the 900-foot flume and about 800
feet of pipe necessary for successful
hydraulic operation next season.
Reports from the Sieifert camp on j
Resurrection creek are that Mr. Sief- j
fert is taking out from $1,500 to $2,-!
500 a clean-up and that the season’s j
output, for chis camp will reach the j
record mark.
