The request of the chamber of
commerce road committee that
every one in the community write ,
a letter to the Alaska road com- ]
mission at Valdez urging an in- ,
crease in the allotment of funds ,
for road work in the Second di- ,
vision should by all means receive ,
a ready response from the citi- ^
zens of Nome. Every one who -
has given the slightest attention 1
to the conditions prevailing on t
Seward peninsula recognizes that ,
the absence of easy means of
communication is, next to the ■
lack of capital, the greatest de- 1
torrent to the present and pros- ■
pective development of this sec- <
tion of Alaska. Every form of 1
mining enterprise is crippled or
restricted through the absence of
good roads, and in some cases,
miles of known mineral bearing
areas must remain unexploited in
their absence
As the mining industry is the
chief business of the district it
naturally follows that the retard
ing in°uences produced by the
absence of open highways also
has a by no means beneficial ef
fect on practically every other in
i.lustrv. Anything which tends
to hold back the mining develop
ment of the district is bound to
have a reactionary effect on busi
ness enterprise of every char
acter through lessening the vol
ume of trade which naturally de
velops in direct proportion to the
volume of mining. The" develop
ment of the one industry means
the success of all others. At the
present time we are inclined to
look upon capital as the great de
sideratum. Everything would de
velop if we but had ample capi
1 but it may not have occurred
to us that one of the first uses
to which capital would be devot
ed, in the event of it being at
hand, would be the construction
of the necessary roads and trails
to facilitate the economical trans
portation of mining commodities
From this it may naturally be
concluded that if we had the
roads and trails the field for capi
talistic exploitation of the mining
industry would be greatly bene
fited and offer a larger induce
ment for capital to invest. In
deed, it may be said that if there
were a comprehensive system of
roads reaching every section of
he peninsula we would need but
ittle capital in the development
)f the mineral resources. The
•hamber of commerce is now set
ing itself to the task of securing
he roads on which so much of
he present and future prosperity
>f the district depends and has
ssued a call for the assistance of
he citizens of the community in
tirthcring their efforts- It is
herefore the plain duty of every
lerson who has a desire to see
he country go forward to lend
heir aid as far as possible. In
his case it does not mean a great
leal of effort and will not cost
mv one more than a cent or two
'iid a few minutes of time. It
'oesn’t matter whether you think
hat Nome has no future and, is
iniind to eo to the dogs in a very
hort while; write anvway. Even
hough you consider that nothing
vill come of it: write just the
ame. Don’t let the thought that
■our letter will not help to bring
nvthine. stand in the way. Every
etter will help and the more let
ers the greater the prospect of
esults. It doesn’t matter how
cou fell about the country or
vhether you care a darn about or
lot; put your shoulder to the
vheel for once and help your
’eiqrhbor, even if his view of
hings does not coincide with
ours. He may be crazy but help
lim along, as long as it pleases
iim- He might be right in think
ing that something can be done
to develop the country and in that
case you would be doing a public
service in helping out his foolish
plans. Foolish or not, show that
you are a good citizen by doing
you bit to help along a proposal
that is very likely to bring some
good results to the community
tt will only cost you a two cent
stamp and a few minutes of your
time. If you haven't got the
stamp borrow one, but don’t fail
tp write between now hnd Friday.
•Most of us have done very little
to help the community in which
we dwell, aside from paying our
taxes (some of us) and doing a lot
of grumbling about “bad condi
tions.” We have an opportunity
to show our spirit now and we
should by all means get busy just
to show that our heart is in the
right place for once.

There’s one rubber
boot that has
“made good’’ in
Alaska and that’s the
Goodrich
HIPRESS",
White Scot
“With the Red-Lino
'round the Top”
,^ ^**ot*~ You know that when a Boot
comes in and simply sweeps the country
like “HIPllESS” has done, it’s GOT to
1 be SOMETHIN UN USUAL-for Alaska wear
ia the supreme test for Boot Quality,
White Goodrich ' * HI PRESS’ * Boots actually wear longer than iron or steel I
You don’t have to half-sole them with leather—they far outwear hob
nailed leather soles.
The reason for this unusual service Is that “HIPRESS” are constructed by
an entirely new process—fifty years ahead of the old-fashioned boot. They
are made of the same tough rubber that goes into Goodrich Auto Tires—
welded together under enormous pressure INTO ONE SOLID PIECE!
There’s nothing to come apart—they can’t leak, peel, crack or split!
They’re comfortable, too—shaped to the foot while its working. We
promise that once you start wearing White “HIPRESS” you’ll never bo
satisfied with auything else,
SlUfeAnd remember—there is but ONE “HIPRESS” Boot—It haa
a Red-Line 'round the Top.
DEALERS: If not already stocked on “HIPRESS** writ* at onoo for tamplat and pitta
jt Tint it tha beet tailing, bait wearing Boot over put into Alatlca.
