He expressed a desire to meet
i the peonle of Valdez and secure
'such information as thy might have
pertaining to the subject. Accord
ingly a meeting was held at the
Tilikum Club which was largely at
tended by the business men of Val
| dez and all interested. The ad
I vantages of Valdez as a center,
with respect to population, re
I suorces, accesribilUy, was thor
oughly gone into- Various phases of
the situation were brought out by
various speakers. Mr. Sisson seem
d quite anxious to hear all sides
i of the question end impressed
gathering with his interest and lack
of bias since he seemed to take an
impartial view of all angles of the
proposition. The people of Valdez
feel that as far as he is concerned
he will turn in an unbiased report
to the department,
j It was the consensus of the
speakers that it is time to forget
about the past in the history of
Valdez as ferring to other days,
I but that the present conditions are
! sufficient warrant for keeping
the court headquarters here, to say
nothing about the future of t
! city, rich in possibilities of min
eral development, its fisheries and
its transportation artery to the In
terior
j The idea was brought forward
that if Alaska towns would lend a
helping hand to each other instead
of trying to cut each other’s
throats it might be a good thing for
the Territory as a whole. It was
truthfully said that every town in
Alaska had its ups and downs but
: that they all survived to look for
better times in the future when
Alaska finally comes into its own.
It was cited Valdez was hard
hit by the war when the Midas
Mine in Valdez Bay was compelled
to shut down because ships could
not be gotten to take away the ore,
and 150 men were laid off, many
to join the army. Then came two
disastrous fires with great loss.
Uncle Sam abandoned Fort Liscum,
Seward got the Signal Corps, Jun
eau got the headquarters of the
Road Commission. Was it any won
der that Valdez lost population.?
It was pointed out that Valdez
has many advantages and many
fine prospects- She has a harbor
big enough to hold a navy. On one
side of the bay is a mountain of
gold prospects many of which have
been proven. On the other side the
copper ranges and along the high
way to the Interior is more gold.
’ She has got the fish. It was brot
out that the Standard Oil Com
pany is putting up a distributing
station and service station. The
Fichardson Highway as a great
scenic route was referred to with
ts up-to-date road houses and its
first class hotels, such as the Ton
zena Lodge which cost $20,000;
that this highway in the future will
connect with the great Inteqna
ional Highway with Valdez as a
coast terminal.
To show what the highway means
to Valdez it was pointed out that
more than 20,000 gallons of gaso
line went over the road to the In
terior this season with many tons
of food and merchandise, a traffic
that is confidently expected to

about the future of Valdez?
Personally, the writer does not
| think the agitation will amount
| nuch/is the nation is too engrossed
with far graver problems that little
attention will be paid to moving
| the court headquarters of the 3rd
I udicial District. Why move the
court? It will only have to be mov
ed back to centrally located Val- j

TOWARDS SUCCESS
JUST ADRIFT— OR A STEADY PULL?
THERE is a certain school of thought which
says, “Eat, drink and be merry for tomor
row we die”. But when the hapless morrow
comes, the insouciant philosopher, money
spent, rather wishes he had been a little less
“merry” and a little more saving.
The hand-to-mouth life is mere drifting. It
is only consistent saving that pulls you to
ward your goal in life. “Pick up your oars”
by opening an account with us.
