Unfounded Rumors
Our estimable contemporary,
the Seward Gateway, was led in-!
to error in saying that the
freighter Sinaloa was compelled
to “anchor way off from the new
railroad town,” because of a lack
of water. The Sinaloa lay in
absolute safety where other ves
sels that have their terminal port
at Anchorage lay when they ar
rive here. No trouble at all,
neighbor.
The vague rumor that reaches
the Gateway’s ears with respect
to difficulties encountered in drill
ing tests to determine the for
mation for harbor improvements
is likewise wholly unfounded.
As a matter of fact, the forma
tion is all that could be desired.
Indeed, so easy will it be to make
the planned harbor improve
ments, that it would not be at
all surprising if the Commission
enlarged its ideas in this regard
and do much more extensive work
than at first contemplated. This
statement, however, is merely
surmise on our part, and we do
not wish to be understood as
quoting the Commission as au
thority in the matter. It may be
stated, however, that the Com
mission did''not contemplate any
actual harbor work this year,
other than to determine by a
practical test, just what forma
tion would be encountered in the
dredging operations.
The Commission, handicapped
as it was by a limited appropria
tion, has done remarkably well
in getting railway matters sys
temitized and the construction
work well under way this season.
It is to be hoped that the coming
session of congress will give the
Commission an adequate appro
priation, so that a largely in
creased construction force may
be employed next year.
A matter which the local com
mercial club might well take up
is that of a uniform system of
time for Anchorage. As it is
now, about every fellow you meet
has a different time. This leads
to confusion, especially when a
public meeting or some private
function is given. Some arrive
too early; others come too late.
The result is a loss of time for
the early arrivals. This confu
sion could easily be corrected, if
we all agree upon a standard
time. _ _
If you have and doubts what
ever about the agricultural and
vegetable raising possibilities of
the Matanuska, Knikand Susitna
regions, just drop around to J.
H. Smith’s office and take a look
at the samples on display. Mr.
Smith is to be commended for
his enterprise and foresight in
providing for this exhibit of local
products. One may write about
these matters and some good may
accrue therefrom. But an occu
lar demonstration is the thing de
sired. _

Health Conditions Good
From time to time we observe,
especially in outside newspapers,
reports concerning the health
conditions of Anchorage, and in
nearly every instance people are1
warned to keep away from here
on that account. A lot of mis
leading information has been
published with respect to this
highly important matter, and it
is just as well that the facts be
given.
In the first place, all who have
lived here this year will agree
that as for climatic conditions, it
would be difficult any where on
earth to surpass Anchorage. It
has simply been ideal throughout
the summer months. Perhaps a
little too warm at times, but
taken altogether, it has been
above criticism. Those who lived
here last winter declare that the
winter climate is likewise de
lightful. Just cold enough to be
invigorating and exhilerating.
As to health conditions, there
is not one iota of truth in the
statements that Anchorage was
or is, afflicted with contagious di
seases of any kind or nature.
People rushed in here by the
hundreds and sought temporary
abodes pending the opening of
the townsite proper. But the
government physicians and the
deputy United States marshal met
the situation with promptness
and energy and prevented any
contagions that might have arisen
under the conditions, unsettled
as they were, and we passed
through the early stages of our
history with but one death from
disease. The victim died of tu
berculosis.
In the new townsite, we are
protected by health rules and
regulations for our benefit and
guidance and a vigilant health
officer to enforce them. In this
situation, therefore, Anchorage ■
is favored above most Alaska
towns. As for the location of
the townsite, it is simply ideally
situated from a health stand
point, being upon a high plateau
or table land.
