ASSOCIATED PRESS TKLEORAPHIC REPORTS._
ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 12, 1916
Another reinforced concrete business block is in course of
erection on Fourth avenue, which thoroughfare is fast assum
ing a metropolitan appearance.
The Valdez Civic league lias started a “Swat the Fly”
contest, and prizes are offered to the youngsters who get rid
of the greatest number of these germ distributors.
The federal authorities are busy these days rounding up
all the places where gambling is permitted or liquor sold, and
Uncle Sam is becoming enriched by the fines imposed in most
eases.
While Anchorage does not claim to be experiencing a
building boom it V a fact that about a hundred new homes
and business blocks are in course of construction, and numer
ous sales of lots are being made almost daily.
There are several public improvements contemplated |
which will add materially to the growth an t up-to-dateness of
Anchorage, but The Daily Times is not at liberty to make
known what they are until those directly interested have con
summated their plans.
There is no question as to how the voters of Cook Inlet
stand towards Delegate Wickersham—they are for him first,
last and all the time. This fact will be brought home to some
of the self-constituted bosses of Alaska when the returns are
received from the November election.
Tourists, you are ever welcome in Anchorage and the
Chamber of Commerce proposes to see that hereafter all of our
visitors will be made welcome at the railroad terminal, and
when they return home it will be with the most pleasant recol
lections of Anchorage and the hospitality of our people.
The voters of Anchorage and vicinity will hold a mass
meeting at the Labor Temple Friday evening, and endorse
the nomination of Hon. James Wickersham as the republican
candidate for delegate to congress from Alaska. The judge
has a warm spot in the hearts of all residents of the territory
and they are desirous of having him retained as their repre
sentative at Washington.
While the ladies back east carry rolling pins in prepared
ness parades the members of the Anchorage ladies’ baseball
team demonstrated in last night’s game that it is not necessary
to use any kitchen utensils in order to beat the members of
the sterner sex. They turned the trick with the regulation
bat, which was wielded in a most proficient and effective man
ner, and left the diamond as the victors of the fray.
The Alaska Road commission will immediately begin the
work of repairing the trails leading out from Knik and as a
reconnoissance of that section is also being made by the field
representative of the commission it is believed that the neces
sity ijor additional roads, for the opening up and development
of a vast mining area, will be apparent with the result that
better transportation facilities for the mine owners and pros
pectors will soon follow.
A\ liile Anchorage i- progressing in a commercial way the
spiritual welfare of its inhabitants is not being overlooked, as
is attested by its creditable churches. On Sunday next the
newest of these, the Presbyterian church, will be dedicated
with appropriate services. Rev. McBride and the members
of his congregation are to be congratulated upon the erection
ot this handsome edifice, which compares favorably with those
in much larger towns than Anchorage in the states.
From the limited information received by cable it seems
that Delegate \\ ickersham is calling for a show-down in re
gard to transportation charges in Alaska. This is a good
move for it is high time that some attempt be made to regu
late the rates between Alaskan ports and the states. Immense
dividends were declared last year by transportation compa
nies doing business in these waters, and all above a reasonable
profit on the money invested was added to the high cost of liv
ing, borne by people living in Alaska, or by people living out
side who purchased articles made from Alaskan products.—

Anchorage is naturally proud of its band but in or
der that it be maintained at its present standard of effi
ciency it is necessary that the members remain here, and they
can only do so by having steady employment. Director Ba
con is devoting considerable of his time, without compensa
tion, to instructing the band and he desires the co-operation
of our public-spirited citizens in keeping this organization
together. All things being equal he feds that his men should
be given some consideration in the award of permanent posi
tions. Under these circumstances the band will rapidly foige
to the front and its sweet strains be all the more appreciated
by the public.

The Anchorage Ladies’ Baseball
team has thallenged the Shamrocks.
It is a foregone conclusion that the
gallant Shamrocks will be defeated.
But I for one will go on record as
opposed to Ladies’ Baseball teams.
Some of them might become too pro
ficient with a bat.

after tomorrow. We have the pret- ;

Everybody seems to be catching |
colds. Even we caught one, but aft- i
er using one box of our famous “Cold
Tablets” we notice quite an improve
ment and now we can safely recom- j
mend them. 25c a box.
And speaking of medicines, we
have a “Gas and Dyspepsia” Tablet '
that will help you digest a keg of 1
ten-penny nails, not to speak of oth
er things we eat—only 50c.
