AID THE FIP.E DEPARTMENT.
Under t'.e auspices of the local fire department, a benefit
dance is announced for Saturday night. This social function
i - e ' uq ose of raisins funds for the pm and mstal
iation of additional fire-fighting equipment. It :s well known
that the present equipment is entirely inadequate for the pres
ent and la>t-trr<.-wing needs, due to the rapid advancement of
ihe community and the consequent increase in the number of
build::..-*. ' tor busines* ar.-l residence pun ••.•*••.*.
Here is a matter that should directly appeal to every prop
ertv nwner and busines* man in Anchorage. In the very na
ture of things, model sent conditions, insurance rates are
Ugh. and t: e only liope of reduction lies in securing fire-fight
ing facilities t: at are in keeping with the demand*.
T e An- :. .'rage fire department i* a volunteer organiza
tion. No cue receives a cent for hi* effort* in tLi* behalf. It
is composed of live, energetic business men and citizens, who
are willing to t of their busy the proto -
tion of the town. Now the fire department feels the need of
better and ... :*• equipment. I* take* money • . uy tne desired
equipment, and it i- the manifest duty of eltizen* to aid in the
matter.
N" -ne know.* when a disastrous fire may lay wa*te a
goodly oortmii of our promising town, resulting in financial
los* to many peison.* wiio can ill afford to lo*e t. eir little all.
It is the part of wisdom to take time by the forelock and pre
pare now, to the end that the fire risk shall be greatly lessened,
if not almost entirely eliminated.
We - loyal to onr volunteer department, realizing
that their efforts are in our behalf, as well a* their "wn.
WHY NOT A SMALL PAPER MILL'1
The ; resent LiirLi cost * i print ]>aper. with every indica
tion t at it will further imrea-e in price. is lea*iiug manufac
turer- and others concerned dir—-tly or indirectly in thi- in
dustry to look about for timber available for making wood
pulp, the product used very largely in the manufacture of pa
]»er. It i- known that the cottonwood, which is native to the
Inlet country, i- adapted to the making of wood pulp.;
Indeed, it i- considered one of t • very btst mat -rial- that
can be found for thi- purpose.
Cottonwood b.-;ng native to this region and being ad a: tel
to V ■ making w< »] pulp. it woul i -eem that the establi-!
nieut of a paper n .. in * >• < ook it: -♦ country is one of tF
indu-tiie- that may be looked forward to with some degree of
hope. It is hardly likely ti.at there i- a sufficient cottonwood
for—t to justify a large paper mill in thi- region, but a mill]
with a somewhat limited capacity could probably find ample
timber for it- requirements for year- to come.
WICKERSHAMS SUCCESS AT THE POLLS.
For the benefit of the more r.nt arrivals in Alaska, who
will have a vote at the coming election, the record of Delegate
•fame- Wicker-ham. the never-defeated candidate, will be of
interest. In 1 e ■ r 3:«••;. r. I >. Murane wa< the “regular*’
republican nomine*- for delegate to congre--. He was mu ->-d
by Judge Wicker-ham. who ran independent, and who achiev
ed a dee - ve vi* tory at * e polls. In 1908, the delegate was
opposed by John (‘oi>on. lately deceased, who was also a '‘reg
ular'' republican party nominee, and John Honan, democratic
candidate. now running for s-nator on the democratic ticket
in thi- division. The delegate won in a walkover. In 1912,
the delegate defeated \\. A. Gilmore, republican, and H. W.
Jennings, democratic candidates. In 1914 Wicker-ham gained
an easy victory over Judge Bunnell, now of the Fourth divi
sion.
FACTIONAL COMMUNITY.
LSkagway Alask&u)
Nothing so retard- the progras- of a smaller community a5
does unharmoniou- factions. It j- to be regretted that this
city i- in the main Hampered by factional -ides, each working
tor individualism and not co-operation for the superlative pro
gress of the city and society in general.
I Jic world i- made up of different temperaments and var
ied characters. A queer world this would really be if we all
held tiie same ideas on all subject-. A man is entitled to hi
own particular ideas and fancies but this right should not be- j
come so prouounced that it enters into the very life of the
community. How m h more beneficial it would be if some
common understanding could be reached by all and instead of
warring, pulling and packingchips on our -boulders, we would |
center our surplus energies on the accomplishment of some!
goal which will make the city in general a better place in which
to live.
Anchorage proposes to aid the Alaska Labor Union, which
is taking the initiative, in the fitting celebration of Labor I)av.
September 4. Let u hope that the weather will be propitious
for the occasion.
