CHANGE IN NAME OF PAPER.
Beginning today this newspaper will hereafter be issued as
the Anchorage Daily Times, but for the present it will also
carry the name of the Cook Inlet Pioneer. This change was
deemed advisable in order to keep the town of Anchorage
more prominently before the reading public and is only one
of the many improvements contemplated as soon as the neces
sary machinery and equipment, which has been ordered from
the factory, can be delivered.
The Engineering Commission deserves much credit for the
excellent roadway it is making on Fourth avenue.
District Attorney Spence has clamped the lid on raffles of
any nature in this judicial division, thus suppressing one form
of gambling.
It begins to look as though the G. O. P. elephant and the
Progressive bull moosers both intend occupying the same bed
at the Chicago convention next month.
With $8,247,000 to be expended this year on the govern
ment railroad, building from Anchorage, there should be con
siderable business activity in this section.
Within a few weeks the ting-a-ling of the telephone bell will
be heard in all parts of the town, which will be a joyful sound
and the service a great convenience to the public.
Two new banks have been established here within the
past week, and the constantly increasing business they are
both doing speaks volumes for the prosperity of our residents.
All incoming steamers are bringing a large number of pas
sengers to Anchorage, but the real rush to the railroad ter
minal will begin when that additional $(5,247,000 becomes
available for construction work this year.
In order to locate new arrivals in town the hotels and room
ing houses should not only keep a register, but insist upon all
of its patrons entering their names thereon. In fact there is
a territorial law covering this point, and it should be lived
up to.
The newspaper fraternity of Alaska extend their condol
ences to Mrs. Charles A. IIopp in the deatlv of her husband,
former proprietor of the Douglas Island News and a pioneer
editor of the territory, having established his paper over
eighteen years ago.
"While the government is doing practically all of its railroad
construction work from this point, there is also considerable
activity in mining circles at the quartz and placer claims ad
jacent to Anchorage, and the outlook for this community is
indeed very promising.
Although the Pioneer has been run but three weeks, under
its present management, the circulation has been increasing
in leaps and bounds, and yesterday 1,000 paid copies were
printed. It is hoped to increase this number to 2,000 within
the next month or two.
Arrangements are now being made for the proper celebra
tion of Memorial Day. There are a number of Grand Army
men. Sons of Veterans and others who have served Uncle Sam
on the battlefield, who will unite in holding services commem
orative of tie deeds rendered by the fallen heroes.
The slight fire that visited Anchorage the other day should
prove an incentive for our citizens to get busy and put the
volunteer fire department upon a substantial and efficient
basis. A meeting will be held tomorrow night for that pur
|x»se, and all who have the interest of the town at heart should
be present and in every way assist in the re-organization that
is planned.
It should not only be your duty, but a pleasure as well,
to become affiliated with the newly organized Chamber of
Commerce. Cast your anchor with the town of action, and the
best way to show your faith in the permanency of the town
and its bright future is to pungle up a membership fee to a
live commercial organization, which is ready and willing to
do everything within its power to advance the best interests
of the community.
The first convention of the Territorial Federation of
Women’s Clubs will be held in Alaska this fall and the An
cliorage Club has extended an invitation to that body to meet
here, which it is hoped will be accepted. Although the new
est town in the territory, the women of Anchorage are doing
a commendable work and they have shown the proper spirit
in asking their co-workers to meet with them for an exchange
of ideas on the upbuilding and betterment of the different
conwnunities in this northland.
