ENDORSE H. P. SULLIVAN
Now that the smoke o. battle has
cleared away, it is up to the friends
of the officers who have administered
the laws in the Third division the
past four years to stand behind them
with their indorsements for reap
pointment. Among the Federal ap
pointees who deserves the indorse
ment of every citizen of the Third
division is United States Marshal H.
P. Sullivan, of Valdez. Mr. Sullivan
has not administered his office with
the fanfare of trumpets and sound
ing brass, but has plunged steadily
along without fuss or feathers, and
has made a really excellent officer.
He has at all times been lenient with
the offender unless the law violation
was so flagrant as to be obnoxious
to the public, and has used good
judgment tempered with mercy in
his dealings with all. We believe this
to be the best recommendation an of
ficer can have, as a pussyfooting, ca
pricious official can stir up more
strife than an Orangeman parade on
St. Patrick’s Day.
We believe too, that Mr. Sullivan’s
deputies have been generally accept
able to the public, as at all times
he has favored the ex-service man,
and has placed men of judicial tem
perament and executive ability, in
charge of the various precincts. If
an error has been made in the ap
pointment of any officer, Mr. Sulli
van has not been to blame so much
as the persons insisting on the ap
pointment of the men.
Mr. Sullivan has been a resident
of the Third division for nearly" a
quarter of a century, coming to Al
aska in the good old days when there
was little law north of 53, and at a
time when our civilization was in
the raw. He has been in several bus
iness enterprises, and has also served
acceptably as United States marshal
under previous presidents. Mr. Sul
livan is a consistent republican and
has followed the fortunes of the con
servative element without deviating
from party principles. The party can
do no better than indorse his reap
pointment.
The election lr. r..^ mrsi division
caused a surprise. W. W. Casey,
who has been announced dead for
some time was voted upon by the
people and received a great many
votes. This incident in the elec
tion of the First division showed the
esteem in which Mr. Casey was held,
even though their vote was sacri
ficed. Anyway those judging the elec
tion are well satisfied with the re
turns regardless the sympathetic vain
! in which it followed.

It is intimated thru press reports
i that Charlie Chaplin will come to Al
I aska to film the “Luck of the Hap
less Prospector.” We wonder where
the joke will lie—In Charlie or on
Alaska?

less than one and a half million dol
lars for equipment, reduction of
grades, improvement of tracks and
bridges, construction of snow sheds
and changes of line. The possible
advantages to be gained thereby, cer
tainly do not justify any such ex
penditure.
In addition to the direct and in
direct effects of the operation of the
Anchorage dock on the railroad, its
continued operation is a necessity to
Anchorage and the surrounding com
munities but also to the greater part
of Cook Inlet, from a standpoint not
only of economy but also of service.
The canneries and other industries of
Cook Inlet naturally look to Anchor
age for coal and a large quantity of
other supplies. The district has a
permanent winter population of about
1000 and a summer population of
nearly 3000 people. Anchorage has
fostered this trade and even now a
movement is on foot to place a boat
on the inlet capable of adequately
caring for the growing trade. The
industries and traffic arising there
from will continue to increase, wheth
er the Anchorage dock is closed or
not. If closed, it means a working
of hardships on the communities of
that section and shutting Anchorage
and its people out of participation in
that trade, with a resulting loss to
the railroad.
“As a matter of fact, and from a
strictly economic standpoint, instead
of being restricted in its operations
the Anchorage dock should be improv
ed and extended in order to properly
take care and encourage the growth
of the business of the communities
tributary to the railroad belt. The
dock was originally built with the
idea of future extensions and better
ments and, in fact, all materials were
purchased for this first extension in
1922 and 1923. Through a change in
policy, this material, except a portion
still on hand, was used for other pur
poses. The extension as planned
would have enabled the larger ships
on the Alaska run to make this a reg
ular port of call and to handle cargo
regardless of the stage of the tide.
It would have been of incalculable
benefit to the people of the railroad
belt and to the railroad directly.
“As a matter of concrete justice
and the fulfillment of promises made,
the dock should not only be not dis
continued but the contemplated im
provements should be made without
further delay. The Anchorage Cham
ber of Commerce was organized at
a time when the government sold
town lots in Anchorage at public
sales, upon the distinct representa
tion that these improvements would
be made and adequate provisions
made for the handling of coal and

a matter of record. • The people of
this community, relying upon these
promises, bought property and pro
ceeded to build homes and establish
businesses. Later, surveys were
made and plans drawn by the Alas
kan engineering commission for har
bor improvements and construction
of coal bunkers, but beyond the
building of the present dock these
promises have never been fulfilled. In
asking for the retention and improve
ments of the dock, we do not disre

ises that we so made.
