VISIBLE EVIDENCE OF PROGRESS
While those nervous energies, latent in almost
every frontiersman, demand something more or less
spectacular in the march of progress they do not retard
tne more deep-running currents of steady, enduring
advancement. This is proved by the outstanding evidence
of the growth of Anchorage. So gradual has been this
encroachment that few realize the great strides that have
been made in building a permanent little city, possessed
of nearly every modern innovation.
It had been four years since the writer had visited
Anchorage and the growth and air of permanency vis
ible was a pleasurable surprise. There are many who 1 k
member the tent city pitched near the mouth of Slop
Creek a little more than a decade and a half ago, wb.er-j
a landscape of timber- deep ravines and upland swamps
greeted them. Today one pauses at a street crossing for j
the string of private and public motor cars to break to
allow of crossing. Or it is to cast the eye upward to
where big commercial airplanes, arriving or departing
for thousand-mile journeys, are hovering like eagles
above the modern airport now in the building. The rough
trails that once led through the residence districts have
been transformed into boulevards, while the main bus
iness streets are oil-coated and “ironed’’ smooth with
modern road-building machinery. Along these streets
and avenues modern business houses and homes have re
placed the frontier shacks; moss-covered scrubble has
made way for the flower or vegetable garden. At night
the city is ablaze with electric light supplied by the new
artery of industrial development, the Anchorage Light
& Power Company, whose Eklutna hydro-electric
plant, completed a few months ago, brought to the
doors of the city this most potent essential to modern
progress. From this nucleus will flow energy for oper
ation of coal and mines, manufactories and all industrial
departures demanding power.
Glance out to where the barges once lightered the
necessities of life to the beach and one sees a fleet of in
land craft plying the commerce up and down Cook In
let, while the shore line is dotted with canneries.
Glance again at the bank statements and one gains
an idea of how commerce and finance has traveled hand
in hand with this civic progress. Each year has shown
a steady trend upward in deposits and clearances until
the two banking institutions boast near a million dollars
each in savings, reflecting the permanency and increas
ing business volume of the city.
Then glance again at the cause of this healthy con
dition and one sees a wealth of natural resources just
coming into fruition, including operating coal and other
mines, agriculture, oil development, timber, all coming
within the zone of influence of The Alaska Railroad
which cleaves this storehouse of wealth and furnishes
the arte 17 through which is flowing in gradually in
creasing volumes this stream of natural wealth.
Then standing behind it all is a permanent big pay
roll derived from The Alaska Railroad and other feder
al activities, insuring a field for the absorption of large
numbers of workmen, who, insured by the certitude of
steady employment, are building pretty homes and thus
keeping pace* with industrial and commercial develop
ment.
While this happy condition principally affects a
neighboring city its influence is reflected throughout
the railroad Zone and has a pronounced bearing upon
the prosperity of other centers not the least of which
is Seward, The Gateway City, through which flows a
steady stream of increment derived from the prosperity
of our neighbors.. ___
BEAR EATS GRUBSTAKE
Returning to his camp with a
ravenous appetite and alluring vis
ions of the “nose bag” after a hard
tramp in the hills, Bob Evans, well
known trapper, found an absolute
state of vacuum where his food
cache had been. It needed no Sher
lock Holmes to tell Bob that the
marauder, who left only foot prints
to satisfy his hunger, were those of
a# bear which goes to prove that
“Goldilocks” knew her porridge.
Bob returned to Seward last night
and, when last seen, was wrestling
with a juicy steak in one of the
local restaurants.
