ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, SATURDAY, JUNE 17. 1916.
ANCHORAGE MUSIC FULL OF HARMONY.
The Daily Times is often in receipt of communications
that are impossible and the relief comes when one does appeal
that is worthy of space and notice, but the one in reference tc
the band is good and should be read by the people.
The article expresses the proper sentiment and “The man
who has no music in his soul: whose body is not moved by the
concord of sweet sound is fit for treason, strategy and strife.
Let no such in«i) be trusted.” It doesn’t particularly follow
that every music tovaf should he trusted, nor did the immortal
“William” mean to express this idea, but the verdict is in the
music loVvi's favor,
Perhaps the Anchorage band will yet be the mean? nl se*'
tling the present baseball controversy for it is said that music
lias certain soothing charms. This organization lias not been
working under particularly favorable circumstances nor lias
it met with the proper support of the people and too much
credit can not be given to Mr. Bacon, the leader, and his faith
ful followers who have not only organized a band but have
reached a state of absolute harmony.
The communication refers to different conspicuous occa
sions and happily mentions how flat they would be without
harmony. The Anchorage band harmonizes with in music and
in spirit. It is going to give a big dance next Tuesday night
at Riobart’s hall; this dance should be well attended and ev
ery person should buy a ticket and in this manner help the
movement that will assist in giving Anchorage one of the es
sentials and without which no city can well boast—a real
band. f gg I ■

The Business Chronicle is the name of a new weekly pub
lished at Seattle and devoted to the interests of the Northwest
and Alaska. It is a well edited and printed magazine, with
numerous departments embracing the varied industries ot the
field it covers. Edwin Selvin, the editor aud proprietor of the
publication, states that lie intends to devote considerable
-pace to Alaska, and has secured the services of Edward Emil
Hurja. the well-known writer, for a series of article? on the
Northland. Mr. Hurja will sail for the North soon for the pur
pose of gathering material for these articles. ^
Secretary Laue lias taken another progressive step, which
means much to residents of this territory, by extending from
June 30 to August 1 the time within which first applications
may be made for leases on Alaska coal lands. The extension
is intended to give those interested a better opportunity to in
vestigate conditions in the coal fields, and is certainly appre
ciated by the public.
An assistant attorney general of the I nited States is now
on his way to Alaska, where he will spend three weeks, com
bining official business with a vacation. He expects to visit
Juneau and Fairbanks and confer with the district attorneys
there; also try and get first-hand information as to conditions
generally in the territory.
Fairbanksans are jubilant over the fact that Commissioner
Riggs has arrived there and reassured them that work on the
government railroad will also begin from that end of the line
as soon as Congress gets busy and passes that sundry civil bill,
which carries a big appropriation for construction work in
Alaska.
The residents of no community can be happy and contented
without band music, and as Anchorage has an organization ot
musicians who are rapidly becoming proficient in discoursing
sweet strains it i< up to the people to give them their co-opera
tion and support.
Great will be the disappointment of the fishermen of the ter
ritory if the present scarcity of salmon continues throughout
ihe season, as these men had made preparations and banked
upon making an unusually large catch of fish during the sum
mer months.
The town of Anchorage, with a population of four thousand,
has one hundred barbers. In the event of Judge Hughes re
eeiving a nomination at Chicago, he may thank his stars that
Alaskans have no vote for president.—Douglas News.
That there should be any controversy between the pari
management and the ball players is most unfortunate and il
is hoped that any differences that may exist will be speedilj
and amicably adjusted.
If Delegate Wiekersham has his way Congress will make i
liberal appropriation, at the December session, for the propel
celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the purchase oi
Alaska.
There has been a noticeable improvement in the appearance
of several of Anchorage’s “eligibles” since the announcemenl
in last night’s paper of the Admiral Evans’ passenger list foi
here.

AN APPEAL THAT HAS MERIT.
For some time past the newspapers of Alaska have been
making a tight to have the press tolls over the government
' cable reduced, believing that they are entitled to the same
j rate as is accorded papers in the states. It has frequently
been asserted by the publishers that they are not asking for
anything which will be of monetary value to themselves; if
the rate was lowered the service would be increased and thus
the benefit derived would be passed to their readers, which
means the people of Alaska.
This argument is logical and applies with much force to An
chorage. Here we pay fifty per cent more for press dispatches
than do the newspapers in any other coast town in Alaska,
simply because the telegraph line between Seward and An
chorage is controlled by a different department of the govern
ment than the one that has charge of the cable. As a conse
quence it costs the Daily Times considerable more for an equal
service received in neighboring towns.
This is to be regretted, as we desire to give the public the
very best press service we can afford, but do not feel that ve
should be compelled to pay so much more for this service than
our contemporaries. There is so much of importance happen
ing these days in the Tjnited States and the Fuiopean coun
tries at war that it would be a great pleasure to furnish the
public with more telegraphic news and at the earliest possible
moment if the government will only share our viewpoint and
give us a more reasonable press rate and a service that is con
sistent with the publication of the largest daily paper in
Alaska.
If you like the appearance of the Daily Times and the news
it is publishing we would be glad to enroll your name as a
regular subscriber, if you are not already on the list.
There may be other subjects of importance, but the baseball
fans are now having their inning—and the rooters are not con
fined to any one sex.
The Fourth of July committee is meeting with considerable
success in the raising of funds, and some celebration will re
sult.
