CO-OPERATION IS NECESSARY.
Tn the very satisfactory conference between Hon. J. C.
Cotton, personal representative of Secretary of the Interior
Lane, and a committee representing the Anchorage Chamber
of Commerce, the distinguished visitor laid particular stress
on the fact that it was es>cntial, if tiic best results \Yo¥e to ty?
achieved in the building of the big railway and the develop
ment of the country generally, that the heartiest co-operation
maintain between the people of this town and this region, the
Alaskan Engineering ConiniDsion and the authorities at Wash
ington.
.Mr. Cotton inquired particularly as to how the people gen
erally felt toward the Commission, the railway project and the
authorities at Washington in charge of the railway matters,
.and was informed that everything was going along as smooth
ly as possible in the big undertaking, especially since the sub
stantial raise in the wages of the men in 'lie employ of the
project. — -
Mr. Cotton pointed out that unless the heartiest co-opera
tion was maintained, the best results could not be gained, and
it would be very unfortunate indeed if other than the most
cordial relations continued as between the people and those
charged with the responsibility of building tlie railway.
With respect to the harbor improvements and the dock
age facilities at this point, the representative of the secretary
of the interior said lie was not authorized to speak or act in
Lane’s behalf. He was here to get information and report
such information to the secretary.
Two methods are suggested with respect to the dredging
of the channel. One is to call for bids throughout the United
States, letting the work out at private contract; the other is
for the Engineering Commission to purchase a big dredging
machine and do the work itself. In the eireumstanees, it ap
pears that the latter way would lie the better plan, because
the Commission would own a dredger that could be used at
:in|' future time in clearing the channel, assuming that it will
fill a little, from time to time, after completion.
A POPULOUS COMMUNITY.
The census enumeration, just completed under the auspi
ces of the townsite authorities, discloses the fact that the bona
tide population of Anchorage is very close to (>,000. We in- ;
dude in this calculation, as does the townsite manager in his
oral estimate, some two thousand citizens who live here, but
who are now employed at various points on the railway work.
The census enumeration likewise discloses the very grati
fying information that there are nearly I’OO children of school
age in this community. This indicates that Anchorage is es
sentially a home town. We believe that there are more indi
vidual homes and home owners in Anchorage than in any oth
er community in Alaska.
Every steamer that reaches this port brings the wives and
families of men who have elected to make Anchorage their fu
ture home. We like this condition of things. It speaks well
for the town’s permanence.
< >ur esteemed contemporary, The Post, of Seward, in a mo
ment of extreme caution, hands the Alaskan Engineering Com
mission some free advice with respect to the proposed harbor
age facilities at Anchorage. The Post volunteers the informa
tion that it is not advisable for the Commission to undertake
the work of harbor improvements here at this time, because
of the monetary consideration involved. Just what kind of
Jogii- tin* editor of The Post studied when he went to school, as
suming that he had the usual advantage*- of an American
youth, is not quite clear to us. We can’t figure out why this
work will cost more, if done now, than if put off to the distant
future. It is a class of work that does not change materially
wilh the passing of the yt*wv. now that. improved dredging IVi j
cilrties have come rate use. We suspect, however, that die op
position of The Post is founded on a very different reason tti«*
the saving of money to the government.' And the reason is that
the money, if expended, will be spent at .Anchorage,—and Hop
at Seward, the home town of the publication.
On anotlfer page in this issue of The Times will he found'
a very informing article from tin* pen of Secretary Kocln, «f
the Anchorage Chamber of Coraerce, the-result of bis observa
tions while making a tour of the Matanuska and Willow ereekj
sections. We commend this article as conveying reliable in
formation, and The Times ap] treoiates five courtesy of Ur.
