WANT ESTABLISH
The local Chamber of Commerce is
in receipt of the following communi
cation from a nuesociation of men in
Tacoma who intend to build a manu
facturing plant in Alaska:
“We will erect a modern factory
building thoroughly equipped with
the most modern machinery used in
the manufacture of biscuit, bread and
confections.
“Our plant will be so complete
with the best and latest machinery
that our products will be turned out
practically without coming in contact
with human hands. The factory will
be of sufficient capacity to enable us
to supply our products to the growing
population, and over a wide radius
of Alaska. Our employment roll will
be worthy of your consideration.
“We have determined that we
should locate either in Cordova or
Seward, and we are approaching the
proper authorities with the aim of
securing factory site concessions. We
will require one hundred feet frontage
adjacent to transportation facilities,
and I will ask you to kindly advise me
if the commercial body of your city
is prepared to offer us any induce
ments to come to Cordova.
“We extend to the people of Cordo
va and vicinity our hearty congratu
lations over the announcement, by
the government, to build railroads In
Alaska, and we predict a wonderful
growth, in a Bhort time, for your sec
tion.”

RADICAL CHANGE
IN ELECTION LAW
The Ketchikan people have ad
dressed to the legislature a memorial
praying for a new method of electing
city councils, as follows:
That the mayor shall be elected by
a vote of the people annually, as
such.
That a town council of six qualified
voters of the town shall be elected,
two of whom shall hold office for one
year from the date of their election,
two for a term of two years from the
date of their election, and two for a
term of three years from the date
of their election, and at each annual
election to be held after the one at
which said council of six is so elected,
there shall be elected two members
of the council to succeed the two re
tiring members, such two new mem
bers so elected to hold office for the
term of three years.

ALL SECTIONS
Capt. William N. Armstrong, who
has mining interests in this section,
where he has spent considerable time
during the past five or six years. Is
a firm believer that the construction
of the Alaska railroad will stimulate
mining and other development, not
only along the line of the projected
railroad, but in many other parts of
Alaska. A recent issue of the Seat
tle Times contains the following in
terview with him:
“There are two things that Alaska
needs,” said Captain Armstrong,
"transportation for supplies and mon
ey for development. That Alaska
has abundant resources is so well
known that it Is almost useless to
discuss it. nut it takes capital to
develop resources, and the construc
tion of the railroad is going to at
tract capitalists to the territory.
“I believe that many of the streams
of the Alaska peninsula ultimately
will be dredged or hydraulicked," he
continued. “Along the valley of the
Susitna and the Yentna and other riv
ers traversed hv the roilrnnds
are dozens of creeks where there is
sufficient gold for dredging purposes,
and there are low grade quartz veins
and commercial ore deposits without
number. This is true not only of
the route followed by the railroad but
of many other parts of Alaska to
which spurs from the main trunk line
ultimately will be built.
“The Broad Bass section which will
be traversed by the railroad Is one of
the richest in the territory, but it is
now absolutely inaccessible for the
man with a big plant. The proper
ties are not such as lend themselves
to development on a small scale. The
tonnoges are enormous and it will
take many big plants to operate them.
Prank Watson and several others
went into this country in 1903 and lo
cated a number of likely looking de
posits. They figured that the Alas
ka Northern railroad would be ex
tended through that district, and it
would have been had not the coal
land been withdrawn from entry.
"That the railroad has created a
great deal of Interest in the territory
is manifested in the fact that every
stranger in Seattle is talking about
it. I have seen a number of people
from the East and they are all Inter
ested in it. Many parts of Alaska
that have laid undeveloped for years
will be opened up this summer and
next year. Prospectors will move
ahead of the railroad. As the road
progress, so also will the country
through which it passes."
