VOICE OF ALASKA PRESS
A man may say he does not believe
in advertising, but he gets consider
ably fussy when a paper says some
thing he doesn’t like.—Valdez Miner.
William Gerig’s appointment as
first assistant to Chairman Mears is a
good move in the right direction. It
will give Mr. Gerig more authority and
relieve Colonel Mears of many re
sponsibilities.—Seward Gateway.
The government is reserving lots
in Western Alaska for coaling stations
for the Pacific fleet. While we hope
something comes of it, the mere fact
that ground is being reserved does
not make a coaling station. May
flower island, which is right in ITont
of the town of Douglas, was reserved
by the government for a coaling sta
tion thirty years ago. There has
never been a doggone war boat take
coal from there yet.—Douglas Newrs.
A survey of the gold-bearing ground
in the Fairbanks district alone, suit
able for dredging purposes, and not
taking into consideration other mining
property, reported on by a special
committee appointed by the Alaska
Chapter, shows a total of 218,900,000
cubic yards, having approximate gold
content valued at $100,200,000. The
committee making this report was
composed of mining engineeers and
practical mining operators, and it can
be depended on to be conservative.—
Fairbanks Citizen.
Despite the fact that all those who
have gone before write back or come
back, bringing the story as excess
baggage (that anyone is better off in
Our Town than anywhere else, during
the reign of H. C. L.) the mob are put
ting themselves on record now as
those who will be missing when the
roll is called in Our Town this win
ter. Every street and every block has
its quota of people who are “going
out,” and every mail brings the story
of people who have, and who are “com
ing in,” and the in-and-out tabs are
plentiful in Our Town. In the mean
time the Prudent Person figures that
when the Big Potlatch starts this win
ter the fewer people there qre here to
divide with, the better.—Fairbanks
News-Miner.
Officials of two Anchorage banks
express themselves as being especially
well pleased with the appointment of
A. H. McDonald of Seward as terri
torial bank examiner, for Anchorage
and Seward. Mr. McDonald accepted
the office only as a matter of accom
modation to the territory, and consid
ers the office a temporary one, as his
personal affairs will not permit him
to devote the time required to the
work. However, this does not detract
from Mr. McDonald’s ability both as
to sound business judgment and ex
pert efficiency, which is evidenced by
his success in life and the merited,
enviable reputation he bears through
out Alaska.-—Anchorage Times. *

The circumstance that some fifty
former residents of Norway, working
men and fishermen, are leaving this
section of Alaska for a trip to Europe,
where they will spend all or most of
the winter, speaks well for working
conditions and remuneration for ef
fort in Alaska. It also speaks well for
the thrift of those who have saved
the funds necessary to make the trip
during these times of strenuous trav
eling costs. However, it suggests that
there are a lot—many more than are
leaving—of well-to-do fishermen and
workingmen who will remain in
Alaska, where their efficiency as
workers, their thrift and savings, are
assets which will count not a little
in the continued development of this
territory. A place where a man with
out capital with which to start can
save enough money in a short time to
make a trip to Europe and return is a
good country to stay wiCh.—Juneau
Empire.
