Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northfland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm faith
in the Territory's possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and, that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

Two Partners Cutting Ties
In the Clouds, Bear Bake
Cutting ties at an altitude of 1500
feet, Henry Larsen and Ed Vogl, have
well over 1500 ties cut to date at their
camp above Bear lake. A chute, lead
ing down to the lake, makes their
transportation problem of minor im
portance.
Their contract calls for 4000 ties to
be delivered to the Alaska Railroad by
the first of June. The partners, work
ing alone, are cutting about 500 a
month. They claim they have the
best timber in the entire Territory to
select from and defy any other con
tractor to produce ties equal to those
manufactured by them. They esti
mate they would be able to cut at
least 45,000 ties on the ridge providing
they had a contract for that num
ber.

Map work and office detail in prep

Commander of Fifth
Infantry Brigade To
Make Visit This Year
Perhaps a Brigadier General will
visit this district this year is the re
port turned into the offices of The
Gateway last week. Brig.-General
Wolf, of the Vancouver Barracks,,
Commander of the Fifth Infantry Bri
gade, and probably General Cheatham
may make a tour of inspection of the
Alaska posts, it is stated.
Providing the inspection is made it
is said the visit will no doubt be in
line with present military plans to ex
pand the army units in Alaska, and
in particular, in the Seward area.
Select your Easter cards now and
mail them out Saturday. Easter ar
rives April 4, just time enough to
get them out.
