LEADING PAPERS
OF THE NATION
ADV. TERRITORY
PUBLICITY ON ALASKA BEING
PRESENTED TO ALMOST TWO
MILLION CITIZENS
In the Joint Pacific Northwest Ad
vertising campaign inaugurated two
years ago by the Great Northern
railroad, Chicago, Burlington &
Quinicy Ry. amd the Northern Pacific
Ry., in which the sum of over a mil
lion dollars was provided to cover
a period of three years, exploiting
the Pacific Northwest and Alaska,
the Territory is now reaping nation
al advertising thru the leading peri
odicals of the Nation.
The Gateway is in receipt of a
letter and advertising matter from
C. W. Meldrum, assistant general
passenger agent of the Great North
ern Railway Company, which dis
closes Alaska is receiving publicity in
ten magazines. These are the Na
tional Geographic, Nation’s Busi
ness, Asia Magazine, Century Maga
zine, Forbes Magazine, Atlantic
Monthly, Review of Reviews, Har
pers Magazine, Scribner’s Magazine
and World’s Work, with a combin
ed circulation of 1,762,000.
Wat/ch Alaska! is the by-line
which catches the eye on one of the
ads. Alaska’s millions today and
her billions of tomorrow must move
through our Alaskan doorway, the
ports of the Pacific Northwest, con
tinues the descriptive matter.
Pacific Northwest ports are the
doorways to Alaska. They open
both ways to imports and exports
that reach many millions of dollars.
Alaska’s rich future is linked in
evitably to the Pacific Northwest.
Her billions of tomorrow, like her
miil ons of today, must move thru
the ports of Washington and Oregon..
The advertisement carried in De
cember numbers of the above men
tioned magazines are:
The United States bought Alaska
for $7,20,000 in 1867.
Since that time Alaska has ex
ported products worth 140 times
its purchase price.
Last year it exported commodities
valued at $67,846,000 and imported

But Alaska has only begun. It -
has 20 million acres of merchant
able timber, and coal resources es
timated at 150 billion ton3. It has
100.000 square miles of good iarm
lapds, and fisheries now producing
40 to 50 millions of doMars annually.
Its metal, mineral and oil resources
cannot be estimated.
The gateway to this vast, scarely
touched treasure land is tihe Pacific
Northwest.
The ports of Washington and Ore
gon are the channels through which
by far the largest part of its com
merce has flowed in the past—and
will flow in the future.
The deveflopment of Alasna. now
being pushed in earnest, will add
billions to tihe trade volume of the
Pacific Northwest ports. For the
Pacific Northwest is and must be
always the market place of Alaska.

out the world observed the 42nd An
niversary of the founding of the

ship of Mr. Houghteling, for the pur

church. The brotherhood now has
chapters thruout the Uinited States,

Traveling Dredge Leased
by Joaquin and Associates
The much traveled dredge now on
Gaines creek, McGrath district, is the
dredge that Frank Joaquin, well known
in Seward, will operate next season,
according to recent arrivals in town
from the Interior. This dredge has
been shifted about more than any
other dredge in the entire Territory,
and it has been said that prior to be
ing set up on Gaines creek, a few
years ago, the cost entailed reached
the high peak of $300,000.
The dredge was first sent in to the

Later the Union Construction Com
pany of San Francisco purchased the
dredge. George Kilroy was then made
manager of the subsidiary company,
the Innoko Dredge Company. Mr. Kil
roy moved the dredge over to Long,
then back to Ruby. It was then found
necessary to ship it down to Seattle
and back again by way of the Kusko
kwim in order to erect it on Gaines
creek. It was this constant moving
that run the expense up to the huge
figure mentioned.
Mr. Joaquin and his associates, Fel
der, Gill and Higgins, having leased
the dredge, will operate on Joaquin’s
three claims on Gaines creek. The new
company recently let a contract for
1500 cords of wood which is being
cut and hauled to the dredge this
winter by Roberts and Jones.
