GREAT, GREATER,
GREATEST
Greatest Northwest belongs
most appropriately to the ter
ritory of Alaska. Greater North
west is a term used for the
first- time as far as this writer
is able to determine, by Build
er & Engineer to designate the
section of the United States
covered by Montana, Idaho, Or
egon and Washington, and in
cluded in the zone of the pub
lication’s operation. Great
Northwest is the expression
used by a number of the east
ern and middle west publica
tions to include Illinois, Iowa,
Minnesota, North and South
Dakota, the section which is
sometimes spoken of as the up
per Mississippi valley.
The area covered by Alaska is
586,400 square miles; that of
the Greater Nortwest 390,090
ssuara miles, and of the Great
Northwest 344,485 square
miles. The Greater Northwest
is once and a half again larger
than either of the other sec
I ions.
Seeing that the Mississippi
valley people have appropria
ted the term “Northwest” unto
themselves and for many ol
their organizations, it would be
futile to attempt to relieve
them of if. The use of “Great
er Northwest” will serve to put
one over on them—and no one
will object seeing that Alaksn
turned in some $17,000,000 or
gold and more than $18,000,
000- of sea food and furs last
year to the channels of com
hieree in this section, to ac
crediting her with the superla
live, “Greatest Northwest”—

PETITION FOR A
SCHOOL AT NEWTOWN
Ketchikan, Alaska, June
To The Honorable City Council:
We, the undersigned resi
dents of Ketchikan, believe
that it will better promote the
interests and wefare of the
children and the people of Ket
chikan to have a school built
in New Twn instead of the
proposed addition to the school
l ouse on Court House Hill for
the following reasons:
1. The present school is over
crowded. The steep, high
slops which it is necessary U>
c!:mb to reach this building are
difficult, disagreeable (especi
ally in wet weather) and dan
gerous, because it is injurious
for little children to climb
sleep stall's os it is liable to
cause excessive enlargement of
the heart—also for adults hav
ing tendency to heart trouble.
For older girls and women it is
injurious fur other reasons.
2. The majority of the child
ren live in New Town and there
ere several more children liv
ing beyond the city limits,
which will soon become a pail
of New Town, and the number
of residents is rapidly increas
ing.
3. It will he much more ec
onomical to build a school in
Ne wTovvn as the heavy, ad
ditional expense of hauling or
otherwise getting the material
up the high, steep hill will be
eliminated.
4. Suitable sites can now be
purchased in New Town at
reasonable prices, which, later,
when the building of a school
there could not be refused, will
have greatly incrased in val
ue.
b. The usual additional cost
of gelling material up a sleep
hill is in this case increased as
d would take 3 months to gel
Borden Street in a condition to
haul heavy loads over it, and if
Borden Street were not used
lor this purpose the contractor
would have to include in his
hid the cost of a railway from
the water’s edge and an electri
t al hoist—at ieast $2000.
For the above economic and
hygienic reasons we petition
I he council to build a school
in New Twn instead of an ad
dition io the building on Court
House Hill,
