SAN FRANCISCO
BOOSTING FOR
ALASKA NEEDS
The necessity for rapid communica
tion between Alaska and the outside
world has been brought to the atten
tion of the San Francisco Chamber of
Commerce. It was pointed out that
1* while there are at the present time
many wireless plants in Alaska, it is
very important that two more stations
be added, viz:
One at Nushagak, and the other at
Bethel, on the Kuskokwim river.
The ordinary means of communi
cation from these places is at the
present time very slow and irregular,
and it is felt that considerable advan
^ tage will accrue not only to the resi
dents of those places but to outsiders
desiring to send messages in.
The board of directors of the cham
ber voted unanimously to indorse the
establishment of wireless plants at
both of these places. The committee
on military affairs is already familiar
with the need of this service, and Hon.
Julius Kahn, chairman of the commit
tee, is heartily in favor of an appro
priation being made to provide for
^ their immediate construction.
A letter from Governor Riggs of
Alaska to the Association of Pacific
Fisheries at Seattle, outlining the ne
cessity for providing adequate protec
tion for the fisheries of Alaska has
been brought to the attention of the
San Francisco Chamber of Commerce.
This communication requests in
dorsement of a plan which will pro
vide in Alaska for the establishment
of a uniformed constabulary similar
to a certain extent to the constabu
lary of Pennsylvania or the Royal
Northwest mounted police. This force
would be federally controlled and ab
solutely removed from any territoria.
political influence. The annual main
tenance of the force, sufficient to care
for the interests at stake, would prob
ably run in the neighborhood of $350,
000, not counting the initial expense
for equipment.
The board of directors of the cham
ber gave consideration to the merits
of the request and indorsed the num
ber advocated by Governor Riggs, a:
* well as the enactment of suitable legis
lation to carry out the purposes a:
outlined in the governor’s communica
tkm.

WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAW AND MANUFACTURED
FURS IN THE NORTHWEST, and all we ask of you, Mr. Shipper, is to give
us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that we pay more
for furs and make quicker returns than you can get anywhere in the country.
We have been in business in Alaska for 36 years and have built up a very
extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all parts of the United States
Canada, and in a great many European cities.
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaska industry but you are
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as we buy direct from the trapper and
_ trader and sell direct to the consumer; thus we are able to pay you a better
price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS THE SAME DAY
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire our
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you'may wire at our expense and we will,
ship to any place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us'
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
