ACTIVE HEAD OF
E
This week Anchorage is entertain
ing a celebrity in the person of J. L.
McPherson, secretary of the Alaska
bureau of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce who, in company with Dr.
Alfred Brooks, made the trip to An
chorage via the Admiral Farragut.
Dr. Brooks returned to Seattle on
the same steamer, but not until he
had spent a few profitable hours on
shore, the result of which made the
steenth Anchorage booster. In his
position Mr. McPherson realized that
it would be impossible to do justice to
Anchorage in a few hours and decided
to remain in this vicinity until Fri
day and the people of this city and
the authorities of the Alaskan Engi
neering Commission will see to it that
he will not have one single idle mo
ment.
Anchorage is in the itinerary of Mr.
McPherson’s route and the time will
be spent in familiarizing himself with
conditions and in getting his ideas and
data first-hand. From the remarks
Mr. McPherson made this morning ne
is naturally observing and moreover
the sights of Anchorage and the com
mission are convincing.
Mr. McPherson said, “It is really
amazing but a gratification to know
that the American citizens can ac
complish so much in so short a time.
Nor have they built on the sand, but
the wonderful development has the
appearance of being substantial and
speaks of absolute permanency.
“Whoever selected the Anchorage
townsite deserves a pedestal in the
hall of territorial fame, for this site
is ideal and you have the prospects
for making a beautiful as well as re
markable commercial city. 1 can well
realize what the future development
of the famous Willow creek mining
district and the renowned Matanuska
farming community mean to you, but
the fact that this city is the head
quarters for the Great Alaska rail
road should be sufficient incentive ard
adequate reason for your remarkable
‘'With the expenditure of a large
amount of money for the harbor
which I understand will commence
next spring and the culmination of the
original promise to furnish this city
j with a harbor the opportunities and
I possibilities for Anchorage are, to my
mind, unlimited.
“All things that are beautiful ap
peal to me, and I couldn’t help but re
mark to Dr. Brooks what a wonderful
.opportunity for a driveway you have
! around the bluff overlooking the har
! bor, but this matter will probably
| come up in time with your other civic
improvements.
“All the coast states, especially
the state of Washington realize and
appreciate what an exceptionally well
managed and energetic Chamber ol
Commerce you may well boast of but
I in passing I must compliment you or
the neat and metropolitan appearance
of your building. More particular!;,
| in regard to the display window
i which is unquestionably worthy of em
ulation. Your homes and yards show
thrift, the streets, the clubs and the
; administration buildings, in fact ev
erything connected with the city be
speaks of one of the prime requisites
of success—civic pride.”
Mr. McPherson w;ill accompany
Commissioner Mears on a trip up the
| line over the new government railroaci
tomorrow and take in the different
j sights of interest in addition to ac
quainting himself personally with the
! great work of the Great Alaska rail
road and upon his return tomorrow
will address the citizens of Anchorage
at the Chamber of Commerce Wednes
i day night.

! Crescent hotel during his stay in this
I city.

TO EXTEND ROAD
Several days ago the Anchorage
Daily Times took up the fight of the
Willow creek mining operators for
the immediate extension of the wagon
road from mile 32 to the Little Susit
na ami Reed creek, a distance of about
three miles. This particular section
of the now famous mining district has
reached such an important stage of
development that good roads are an
essential and vital point to future
work.
To this end The Anchorage Daily
Times with the co-operation of the
Anchorage Chamber of Commerce,
took the matter direct to headquar
ters with the following communica
tion from Lieut. J. C. Mehaffey as the
favorable result:
“Reference Willow creek road ex
tension; other members absent will re
turn Monday. Probable that small
allotment will be made.”
(Signed) J. C. MEHAFFEY.
The communication was addressed
from Valdez and there is no doubt
but that the Alaska Road Commis
sion will act favorably upon the sug
gestion and the request of the Wil
low creek mine operators be heeded.
There is no reason why this should
not be the case, as there is a party
of men now working in this vicinity
under the direction of the road com
mission and the expenditure of a few
thousand dollars will make the ex
tension passable for fall and winter
traffic. A further delay in this mat
ter will materially retard advance
ment and every influence has been
brought to bear on Colonel Richard
son and the commission for immediate
assistance.
If you wish to enjoy “the pictures”
where it is cosy and warm come to
