UNITY.
(From Anchorage Times)
Judging l'rom the representative at
tendance a* the recent chamber of
commerce meeting the annual spring
cleanup campaign has ^entered the
kitchen of Anchorage homes; the hour
was apropos and there was an evi
dent collusion between Pres. Spauld
ing and the housewives. But this is
not the real reason, which is tound in
the sincere compliment paid the presi
dent for his untiring efforts directed
towards a progressive Anchorage.
Practically every business house in
town was represented. This in itsell
is an endorsement of the suggested
policies to be followed out to make
Anchorage grow.
This particular meeting was called
to create harmony and promote co-or
dination among the towns of the rail
joad belt, believing that the major in
terests were in common. Invitations
were forwarded to Seward, Nenana
and Fairbanks. Seward courteously
responded and was ably represented in
Ambassador L. V. Ray. Any town
could well be proud ot this biilliant
citizen; Seward especially so for in
acquiescing with the proposed move
ment of concerted action and prom
ising support of himself and fellow
citizens to all measures tending to ad
vance community interests Mayor Ray
emphatically declared his loyalty tc
his own home home town and went or
record as saying Seward citizens weif
strivinig to change the seat of the
division court headquarters from Val
dez to Seward. This statement "a;
heartily received, the local chambei
practically endorsing the change anc
gave evidence of supporting our neigl
boring town in the contention.
The apt suggestion of Mayor Ray
to eliminate the word naimony ant
substitute the word “Unity,” met witl
general approval and "unity” was th«
keynote of the meeting. Anchorage
Seward and other towns located on th«
railroad belt are repeatedly petition
ing the powers that be tor assistance
these towns have many thing in com
IQOn. ,
President Harding, Secretary \\oii
and a number of senators and con
gressmen contemplate a visit to Alas
ka this summer. It has been suggest
ed that the different towns pool thei
interests as far as practicable, and pe
tition the lawmakers for those thing:
which will be mutually beneficial. 1
this program is carried out and th<
matters presented in a concise, Intel
Jigent manner, success will be attain
ed! In unity there is strength. Unit:
in'action will bring results and result;
are what we need.

FROM A MISSOURI EXCHANGE
“Roaring River City pillows her
head on her own shadowy mountains,
the stars pin back the curtains from
the blue skies above her, and the an
gels peep through and smile at her de
light as she tucks her dainty wrapper
around her knees and dabbles her dim
pled feet in the clear, cold waters of
Roaring River.”
John Nash, a pioneer homesteader
of this district is visiting in Seward
this week. Mr. Nash has recently
been under the weather with rheuma
tism.
