PROSPEROUS SEASON AHEAD
There is every reason to believe that the coining j
summer will be one of the most prosperous industria ,
ka Railroad belt owing to the prospective industrial |
and building progress looming on the horizon I
The influence of this activity will be felt from one
end of the line to the other. In the Fairbanks area min-;
ine activity will be more general and larger than nv
many years past. . , ,
the coal mines are all operating on a good scale:
with every indication pointing towards a stead\ m
At Anchorage, a tremendous amount of new con-j
struction will go forward, and all the canneries will |
operate full blast. \
Between the Cook Inlet metropolis and the Port ot
Seward the mineral fields will be exploited to a much
greater extent than has been witnessed in years gone
by. • . • . ,
And Seward is keeping in step with the Interior s
steady advancement by the erection of more substantial
buildings; the Alaska Railroad will soon begin enlarg
ing the government dock; the tie-making industry has
shown a good inrease; the Seward Fisheries has doubl
ed its plant capacity. The Paulstiener fish market, judg
ing from its growth, holds every promise of developing
into a large concern. And in the future Seward can look
for the establishment of coal bunkers, a giant cold stor
age plant for the storing of reindeer carcasses, a break
water and many other items which will make for a real
big payroll; something which Seward—unlike other Alas
kan towns —has always been without. But like a good
man you just can’t keep a good town down.
New York is to have more artistic garbage cans.
What it really needs is bigger ones, especially in the!
theater district.
Wall Street will need little Spring cleaning after such 1
a thorough job as was done last Fall.

KELLER WISHES SET
I In a communication received
| from W. K. Keller of Juneau, !
| candidate in the primary elections J
j for the office of Commissioner of
, Education for Alaska, reference is
made to an editorial which ap
I peared in the Valdez Miner be
! fore the election. Mr. Keller states
j that he had intended to file nom
ination as an independent, but.
| although these plans were chang
. ed and he filed on a party ticket,
, he stands by his original an- I
nouncement that schools and
'school affairs, according to his be
j lief, should be kept free from po
Uitics. Contrary to information
l contained in the editorial in ques
tion, Mr. Keller states that he had
not been asked for. nor had he
given, any promise of patronage
I or otherwise return for the support
i of any political! faction during the
j election, Refutation of statements
jandclaims conained is made, for it
is thought that the informant
j of the Valdez Miner sorely misrep
resented the facts of the case. Mr.
'Kellers communication states that,
j while entirely unfamiliar with the
; reason why he was supported by a
I certain faction during the cam- ;
f paign, to whom he is alleged to I
! have made promises as stated a
| bove, he has no intention what
| soever of exerting his influence
i for patronage in their behalf, and
it is desire to set his many friends
, "straight on this matter.”

Editor,
I The Valdez Miner
Valdez. Alaska
Dear Sir:
Mv attention has been called to
; an editorial which appeared in
, your paper shortly before the i
primary election, to the effect 1
j that I have . or may have, prom
| iscd political patronage to the
' Paul Faction” in return for their ;
I support during the recent primary
| election. Such a statement is so
far from the facts of the case that
I believe it my duty to set you and
j my many friends reached by your
paper straight on this matter.
Early in January I announced
1 that I planned to run for the
i office of Commissioner of Educa
: tion as an independent in order
! that the schools would be kept
entirely free from politics. This j
; was in accordance with a verbal I
;agreement between Mr. Breuer and
I me that this was the proper !
course to follow. Shortly after
j this, however, he filed for nomin- |
iation for the office on the Re- I
| publican ticket, with, as he was |
publically stating the support of J
the Paul Faction. Shortly after
this, Superintendent Karnes filed
| for the same office on the Dem- |
j ocl'atic ticket also, which did but I
«with a pledge to my friends Chat1
