SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1916.
THE DUTY OF ANCHORAGE.
Casting aside all thoughts of political issues or partisan
ship, and looking at the matter from our own selfish stand
point, it is the plain duty of the qualified electors of the town
of Anchorage and the voters of the Cook Inlet country to sup
port the candidacy of the Hon. James Wickersham at the polls
on November 7. We have repeatedly had occasion to say, and
we wish to reiterate the statement, that Delegate Wickersham
is the author of the bill authorizing the construction of the great
railway project, and this big development scheme was the di
rect and only cause for the establishment of a commercial cen
ter at Ship Creek—now called Anchorage.
As the author of the railway bill, the delegate naturally
takes a pride in seeing the work progress without interruption
until it reaches full fruition. The delegate is a supporter of
the Alaskan Engineering Commission, charged with the re
sponsibility of doing the construction. In his speecli here, he
paid a fine tribute to the commissioners, and paid an especial
compliment to Lieut. Mears, in charge of the work in this divi
sion. With our representative in congress, the Alaskan Engi
neering Commission and the people of Anchorage and the Cook
Inlet country working in harmony to bring about the best re-,
suits, the success of the big development scheme is assured.
The delegate has visited Anchorage upon two occasions.
He has met our people. He knows our aims and aspirations.
He appreciates our wants. He realizes that we want things to
move along and develop. He knows that we Anchorageites are
engaged in a laudable ambition to build up a big commercial
center at this point. To bring this about, railway work must
be prosecuted without cessation. Anchorage has done itself
proud in its receptions to the delegate, upon both of his visits
here. Without respect to party affiliations, we have turned out
en masse to hear him. He deeply appreciates this courtesy
and consideration. He informed The Times that his visits
here had been more cosdial and whole-hearted than any he had
received in any other Alaskan town. He is with us, and we
are for him.
A hobby of The Times is to see construction work cameo
on, with Anchorage as a base, for the next ten years, and we
are working to that end. Just as soon as the rails are^ai|T. to
Nenana, or wherever the interior terminus may be, we want to.
see construction start on the Kuskokwim branch line. The
Times asked the delegate if lie Would aid such a development
plan. He readily agreed to give it his hearty Support.
We don’t know what Mr. Sulzer’s attitude is with respect
to this railway project. We presume, of course, that he is in
favor of the development of Alaska. But Mr. Sulzer has not
had the opportunity to study this situation as has the dele
gate. He cannot take the fatherly interest in the project that
is natural for the author of the bill to take. This is self-evi
dent.
Here is a matter that vitally concerns the town of Anchor
age. We want no change in our representative in congress.
We are highly satisfied with his attitude and his loyal support
of the project. We must not change horses in the middle of
the stream. The result might be disastrous in the extreme. We
can afford to take no chances. We need take no chances. If
we in the Cook Inlet country give the delegate an almost unani
mous support at the polls, his re-election is assured. It is up
to us to protect our own interests. And if we fail in this, then
the fault will lie with us. We must support those who are sup
porting us.
LET THERE BE LIGHT.
In another column in this issue, appears a signed com
munication from Lieut. Mears, commissioner in charge of op
erations in this division of the railway work, which settles all
doubts with respect to a lighting and power system for the
town of Anchorage. Anchorage will have an electric light and
power system. Business concerns and householders may now
install tiie necessary wires and fixtures, in the knowledge that
the system will be available to the patrons, in accordance with
information on this subject in the commissioner’s letter.
People are prone to be captious and critical, not realizing,
perhaps, that it takes time to achieve results in a matter of
this kind, which comprehends the expenditure of. a consider
able sum of money. Then, again, with the big electrical con
cerns in the states working to theirjfull capacity, it is not al
ways possible to obtain, without delay, the necessary equip
ment.
When we stop to reflect on the matter, we are doing very
well indeed, in having electric lights for the second winter of
our history. __

“The Store That Has What You Want—When Yon Want It.”
Loussac’s Daily Gossip
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1916.
Vol. 1. No. 76. ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 4th and I>
HALLOWE’EN IS COMING! Remember the date—October 30th—We
have all sorts of Hallowe’en decorations, Post Cards, folders, etc. Show your
friends outside that we are on the map.
We are busy unpacking our Holiday stock—and still busier selling it.
Lately we have been burning the wires ordering more and more goods. What
sells it is quality and price. A man who knows values after looking over our
stock of Libbey’s cut glass said that we sell it cheaper than in Seattle. That
is because we are not looking for war-profit. Our prices where possible are
“ before the war ” prices. Most of our stock was ordered over a year ago for
our Juneau store.
There is a good deal of satisfaction in selling high quality merchandise
outside of the profit you make on it.
There was a time when you bought some article—you took your chances.
If you got stung, there was no redress—You just took your medicine and said
nothing. Conditions have changed since. A reputable merchant does not care
to sell goods he can not back up with an iron clad guarantee—Moneyback—if
not satisfactory!
We guarantee everything we sell. We do not handle goods of question
able value. As Gorham worked to establish his trade-mark “ Sterling ” to be
a standard of value Waterman’s “ Ideal ” for fountain pens, “ Libbey ” for cut
glass, so are we going to work until the name of Loussac will be associated
with the highest standard of drugs in Alaska.
A good time to send your subscription for magazines and periodicals is
before navigation closes. We take your subscriptions at outside prices. Bring
them now.
Thermos bottles are a suitable gift on any occasion.
We have just received the agency for San-Tox preparations. We know
that they are very good and reliable. Watch for the “ San-Tox Nurse.”
Speaking of Hair Tonics, we had a lyian inquire the other day for the
same tonic which made Frank Polley’s' ifiustache grow so rapidly, only he
wanted it to be dark brown. He got it. Frank reports progress.
We have opened our Hot Drinks service—in connection with our Soda
Fountain. In the afternoon when shopping, a glass of Hot Chocolate is re
freshing and invigorating. A cup of hot Chicken Bouillon or Beef Tea is a
tonic and a food. The English Afternoon Tea is not all fashion stuff. There
is a good deal of horse sense in a slight refreshment midday. Try it—and see
l for yourself.
Victor Phonographs and Records. New records to please the lover of
grand opera or ragtime. We carry the Victor goods at the Northern Drug Co.
Squibb’s name on the label of a bottle of Olive Oil, Cod Liver Oil, Epsom
Salts, Liquid Petrolatum, etc., is a.guarantee of superior quality. We have
them.
Dr. R. Simpson, the well known Optometrist and Optician from Juneau
has written me that he will be here in December. Judging from the demands
for eye glasses he is sure needed her. He certainly knows his business and
we heartily recommend him.
