ALASKA’S PREPAREDNESS.
With all this talk about preparedness it is about time to
consider a little for Alaska. What a pickle this territory
would be put in effect to offset the difficulty, but in the mean
sition the steamers now running to the northlaud to carry sup
plies and troops to Mexico.
The shortages of provisions which may result from the
longshoremen’s strike would be nothing compared to what
would follow a witlidrwaal of all the large boats.
Of course, after a "few months some small boat service
would be in if Uncle Sam’s military department should requi
time famine prices would prevail. <•
There is a commercial preparedness without which mili
tary preparedness is entirely incomplete, but so far Alaska
lacks both.—Seward Post.
ANCHORAGE ADOPTS NUMBERING SYSTEM.
One of the greatest conveniences to the public will be the
numbering of the business houses and residences, and Town
site Manager "Watts has worked out a system that should
prove satisfactory. Anchorage has grown so rapidly and the
town covers such a large area that it is now a physical impos
sibility to direct strangers who are seeking to locate friends or
acquaintances.
Under the regulations adopted the streets will be num
bered from A street, those on the west to be known by the
usual name and streets east of A street will contain the prefix
“East.” Each block will contain 100 numbers, with the odd
numbers on the north or east side of the street^ as the case
may be, and the even numbers on the south or west side.
This system is very simple and when in vogue will be of
great convenience to the public. It is effective at once and
just as soon as the numbers can be made they will be put up
and Anchorage will then assume the appearance of a well reg
ulated town.
THE GREAT AMERICAN PEOPLE.
There is one dominant fact which the politicians of all
parties seem to overlook. That is the inherent strength, the
immeasurable power of our own country.
First its area, equal to half of Europe. (2) what it is cap
able of producing; (3) its population and the character of its
population; (4) its freedom from debt, and finally what it
might be in half a year were its forces called out. This last
influences the outside world in its thought of us more than
any one thing. The fact that it could in six months call ten
million of young men to the colors and have them efficient sol
diers without for a moment stopping or crippling one of its
great.industries. Is there wonderment?
Then there is a red school house on every country road
corner, and jo in almost any of the humble homes on the
mighty area and you will find some one who knows all that is
going on at home or abroad, and who will give you an intelli
gent opinion on any subject you may spring.
This fact ought to be a notice to all men who aspire to
high places, never to risk talking down to the people, never to
make a bluff to them lest they be called, never once to presume
on the supposed ignorance of the masses, for the deep exhaust
of the perfecting press is sounding everywhere and with the
dawn has for the people, all ready, the history of the previous
day from which the people keep jn touch with the events of
yesterday brought to them by the telegraph and the press to
dav. , 140
Behind the people is the ever constant thought that if
things do not come out just right, they will all be in a measure
to blame, for have they not each one his part to do and there
must be no relapsing of vigilance, no neglect of duty.
I or the men who on their merits command the respect and
confidence of such a people just praise is due, but for such men
the knowledge of that fact should make them grateful and at
the same time humble, and they of all men should fight shy
of any playing to the galleries from everything that comes of
personal pride or presumption.
The republicans of Anchorage have a well-organized club
and inteud taking an active interest in the political affairs of
the territory. A meeting will be held tonight and it is desired
that all the members be present as matters of vital importance
to the club and the public generally will be considered.
New membt rs are constantly being added to the roll of the
< hamber of Commerce, which organization is doing persistent
and effective work for the upbuild of Anchorage. Every bus
iness man of the town should affiliate himself with this* orga
nization and there tter time to become a member than
at tomorrow night’ ng.

Everybody seems to be catching
colds. Even we caught one, but aft
er using one box of our famous “Cold
Tablets” we notice quite an improve
ment and now we can safely recom
mend them. 25c a box.
And speaking of medicines, we
have a “Gas and Dyspepsia” Tablet
that will help you digest a keg of
ten-penny nails, not to speak of oth
er things we eat—only SOc.
“And we never eat other candy
when there is a box of “Augustine &
Kyer’s” Chocolates in the town,” is
what a girl wrote up from San Fran
cisco. Milk Chocolates, Victoria
and Chocolate Butter Crisp are some
candies. Bring her a box and then
ask her.
Which of the three national fig
ures in United States remind you of
a “Chocolate Nut Sunda?”—Ask us.
If you are a progressive, efficient
business man, you probably have a
complete set of books, files, etc.
We have ndw as complete a stock
as you will find in Seattle.
Meet me at Loussac's is getting to
be the popular phrase. That’s right.
We want you to teel at home in our
store. All our facilities are at your
disposal.
We met Mr. Billy Nourse on the
street this morning. He was full ot
smiles. We thought that he played
with the “Anchorage” team yester
day.
Since we put that "ad” in our pa
per telling you all about the Water
man's Ideal Fountain pen—we had
many people say they have been
waiting for us to get them. It is
certainly wonderful how that pen Ts
popular. In one of Waterman’s
monthly booklets 1 saw a man in the
trenches use a Waterman Ideal Foun
tain Pen, And he was not an Amer
ican. Any point—from $2.50 up.
Roger Summy is expecting a cable
from the "Giants.” Somebody told
him that Christy Mathewson is going
to quit pitching. What we admire
about Summy Is his nerve.
