ASSOCIATED PRESS TELEGRAPHIC REPORTS.
ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1916.
WHY WICKERSHAM IS POPULAR.
Considerable enthusiasm is being manifested by the re si
dents of Anchorage and vicinity in the mass meeting to be held
at Robarts’ hall on Friday evening for the purpose ot en
dorsing the action of the Anchorage Republican chib in nomi
nating Hon. James \\ ickersham as a candidate tor delegate to
congress from Alaska. There is almost a unanimous sentiment
here in favor of retaining our present representative at W ash
ington. as he is a man of aetion and always on the job.
Even the enemies of Judge A\ ickersham must admit that
he possesses exceptional ability, is an indefatigable worker
and alwavs gets re: lilts. Tie is ever on the fighting line and no
service he can render the people of Alaska, no matter how
great or small, is overlooked, and it is no wonder lie lias so
many stanneli supporters throughout the territory.
PROPERTIES WORTH DEVELOPING
There are few sectious of Alaska that are more promising
in the production oi gold than the Kenai peninsula. it was
here that large quantities of the yellow metal was found in the
early days, when the crudest kind of mining was in vogue.
Now that hydraulic plants are in general use the auriferous
gravel of that section should add materially to the placer out
put of Alaska. This is particularly true of Bear creek, where
the channel is narrow and the deposits are such that they can
be easily and economically worked with the proper machinery.
In fact the ground there will justify the installation of a large
plant and if the resources of that section could he properly
brought to the attention of capitalists unprecedented activity
would result.
It can he truthfully said that the mining country adjacent
to Anchorage offers much inducement to either large or >mall
capital, as there are numerous properties, some partially de
veloped and others undeveloped, which are awaiting only for
sufficient money to open them up and put them on a paying
basis.
KEEPING PACE WITH A GROWING TOWN
In order to give our patrons prompt and efficient service—
to continue the business on a broad, progressive basis, The Dai
ly Times lias made many improvements and additions to its
plant, including the installation of new job presses, a newspa
per folding machine, the latest faces in job and advertising
type and other material that is necessary in the conduct of a
growing and up-to-date daily newspaper.
The latest innovation is a model “B” Intertype, a simpli
fied multiple magazine composing machine with two instantly
removable, interchangeable magazines. The standard quick
change typesetting machine of the world. This is in addition
to the Mergentlialer No. 5 Linotype and with these two ma
chines that are the last word in the printing art we are pre
pared to print any sized paper and do the same class of job
work that is obtainable in the states.
Having faith in the stability and future of Anchorage no
expense has been spared to make this the best-equipped ami
most complete plant in Alaska; that we have succeeded is at
tested by all who have inspected the office, and this increasing
growth and success are, we believe, as much matters of per
sonal pride and gratification to the residents of Anchorage and
Cook Inlet as they are to ourselves.
Anchorage will soon be known as the city of concrete
buildings and sidewalks, as most of the improvements now be
ing made are of that material, and the city is assuming a very
metropolitan appearance.
Chairman Edes has returned from his trip to Washington,
having been successful in his mission of getting the necessary
appropriation to continue the work of constructing the gov
ernment railway and is now in Anchorage, where he is being
warmly welcomed by his many friends.
The only thing necessaiy to make Anchorage the Coney
island of Alaska is a full-fledged summer resort, and this is
being pjovided by Joseph Spenard on his homestead which in
eludes Jeter lake, where there will be boating, bathing and the
other accessories that go to make a resort of this kind popular,
The republicans of Anchorage are in favor of a direct pri
lxiary law, in order that the will of the people mayr be expi’essed
at the polls, and the delegates to the divisional convention al
Valdez will insist that the candidates nominated for territoi'ia’
senator and representatives are pledged to vote in favor ol
this refonn.
V ith the strengthening of the commission team there
promises to be a renewed interest in the gaxnes of baseball here
after played by the local league. Anchorage is a town of fans
who are libei’al in their pati’onage of a good exhibition of tin
national spoi't, and there is now every indication that a friend
ly and spirited rivalry' will prevail in boosting their favorite
club for pennant honors.

The Result of Experience.
The other day a gentleman who
writes a good deal told me that after
having tried one fountain pen after 1
another he has finally selected the
“Waterman Ideal” as the best pen
on the market for service and qual
ity. There’s a reason.
Imprniing the Ordinary Way.
The dilTerence between work done
the ordinary way and that done in a
scientific way is often very great.
Several years ago motoring
through southern California I saw
two fruit orchards—one the result
of an orchard planted in the ordi
nary way. the other, judging from
appearance, planned in a scientific
manner, each tree several feet apart
planted in parallel rows with special
preparation of the soil. It was al
most picking time, the trees were
weighted down wdth fruit, and it
seemed as if the second orchard had
more than several times the quanti
ty of fruit, and the fruit looked big
ger besides.
As I looked I thought of the re
markable difference between the two
orchards. I thought of thousands
upon thousands of acres of fruits
and corn and wheat that are planted
and cultivated in an ordinary way,
and of how vastly the yield might
he increased by the use of more sci
entific methods. Then I thought ot
all the many business enterprises
that are being conducted in the ordi- |
nary way, and of the greater results .
which might be obtained if they were
conducted on a more thorough, sys
tematic and intelligent plan. To the
public it would mean better service,
better prices, hetter quality—and in
no other business can it be demon
strated than in the modern drug
store. This is the policy I pursue
in conducting my drug stores in An
chorage and Juneau. In trading
with us, you are assured of the very
best in stock and service.
