New Alaska Board
Named by Sec. Work
SEATTLE, Nov. 9— Governor Scott
C. Bone, arriviing from Washingtoi
last night, found a letter from Secre
tary Work, advising him of the forma
tion of a Commission of Policy of the
Alaska Railroad, composed of Gov
ernor Scott C. Bone, chairman ex-of
ficio. The other members of the boarc
will be Lee H. Landis, general mana
ger of the road; Major John C. Got
wals, chief engineer; B. S. Barndollar
legal adviser.
Secretary Work ordered the estab
lishment of the commission’s head
quarters at Seward.
The members of the commissior
are to serve without compensation
and its purpose is declared to be tc
“strengthen the hands of the genera:
manager,” and advise with him as tc
development of the district covered
by the raliroad.
Discussing the Alaska tourist move
ment the past season, and the lack ol
adequate transportation, Governor
Bone said:
“In my report to the Secretary and
| President I declared it my belief that
at least three thousand people failed
i to make the trip to Alaska this year,
because of lack of steamship accom
1 modations. We need more boats, and
! I am informed that the Canadian Pa
cific expects to have two new boats
1 operating to Southeastern Alaska next
i season. We need also new tourist ho
I tels, particularly at Juneau, Sitka and
the entrance to Mt. McKinley National
Park.
|
i
“I told them there was a likelihood
of the Canadian Pacific Railroad run
ning boats up the Tanana next sum
mer to connect with the Alaska Rail
road at Nenana. If the Canadian and
Alaskan roads could be connected up
there would be a 1000-mile trip unpar
alleled in beauty and charm.”
Gov. Bone will sail for Juneau on
tomorrow’s boat.
LINE BE ESTABLISHED ALONG
ALASKA RAILWAY, WITH
MUCH CHEAPER UPKEEP
WASHINGTON, Nov. S—Conversion
of the Government telegraph line be
tween Valdez and Fairbanks to tele-;
phone purposes and the inauguration
of a new system of Government tele-1
graph lines along the Federal rail-:
road in Alaska is recommended in a
report made by General Squire, chief j
of the Telegraph and Cable system,
made public today.
It is urged that early action be tak-|
en to rid the system of this highly un
profitable piece of line, and that steps
be taken to secure a right of way
along the railroad, either by placing
additional wires on the railroad poles
and operating the existing lines by
mutual agreement, or by the construc
tion of a new pole line, to be operated
entirely by the army department.

With Home Town Buying
You live here. You make use of the public benefits of this
city. Then help pay for them—and make it possible to increase
municipal improvements.
You can’t do it by sending your dollars out of town. Every
cent you send away to mail order concerns represents so much dead
loss to the community—and no gain whatever to you on good purchased.
Your dealer sells standard goods of the highest quality—
and sells them at honest prices. Merchandise of greater merit can
not be had for any amount of money—and certainly not for less
money. You can inspect the goods before purchasing—a big advantage
over mail order buying. You can see what you are getting. You can
buy in small quantities if you wish, or you can purchase in large lots
and obtain price concessions granted bulk buyers. The goods you buy are
delivered within a few minutes after purchase is made—right into your homer
and free of deliver/ costs.
If you are not satisfied with purchases—or desire to
exchange goods for any reason whatever—you may do so quickly
and conveniently.
These are a few of the buying advantages to be had
right here at home that can not be offered by any mail order concern
in creation. You benefit yourself—then you benefit the dealer.
You enable him to continue in business. By giving him
bigger business you enable him to give you better bargains.
The profit he makes—a legitimate one—is spent right here
tf/home. Some of it is turned over to other dealers. Some of it goes
for rent. Some of it for clerks’ salaries. Some of it for taxes. It assists in
building up the entire town. It helps advance property values. It contributes
to the betterment of schools—which your children or your neighbors children
attend. It helps put down better side-walks—and put up better public build
ings. It pays you actual dividends in development of the town— your town.
It makes the town in which you live a better town for you to live in.
It invites outsiders to settle here. It booms prosperity and you share in
that prosperity.
It is your plain duty —to yourself — your family —your friends
—your town — to spend your dollars with local dealers. Do it.
