liitjf Urttaiai Paper
NOME, ALASKA, DEC. 3, 1915.
judging from present indications, '
lue uwunlMir ot Commerce, reorganized
and rejuvenated, is about to step into
uie nine light as a positive factor in
the auuirs ol lue community and will
make uu ellort to bring about sundry j
aiiu ulvers changes in tbe existing j
ruer ol mings ill ibis section of Ai- j
uska.
Among other contemplations, the
chamber will attempt to eii'eci the much
Uesiieu improvement in the mail ser
. n_e and will also endeavor to secure
ail increased allowance from Washing
ton tor uie extension of road construe
null to uie interior. The program also
uiciuaes ihe furthering of the cinake
river harbor project and such other
public improvements as will result in
a general betterment of the commer
cial and industrial conditions of the
town and district.
This is assuredly a very ambitious
program and one that is calculated to
tax the energies of the members in no
.small degree as it is most undeniably
true that none of the desired effects
are to be lightly won If the contem
plated program is faithfully ad
hered to much time, thought and labor
will be required before results of a
uc unite character can be achieved.
To secure results in the case of any
one of the principal features of this
program is a great big contract and the
chamber will have Us hands full in
every sense of the term. To many of
our narrow minded and pessimistically
inclined citizens it will probably ap
pear that the chamber is really set
ting out to strive for the unattainable
—to shoot at the moon, so to say, In
the hope that something will happen
and they will probably be ready as usual
with the derisive sneer or the gentle
knock, characteristic of their kind.
However, this should not be discour
aging to any with a clear sense of dis
cernment as the motive in such cases
Is easily recognizable. It is to be ex
pected that there will be plenty to
throw cold water on what is being at
tempted for the reason that nearly all
who are not ambitious enough to do
anything themselves consider it their
especial province to tear down what
ever others strive to build up. All this
counts for little with those wrho are
determined on their course and will
therefore have little effect on the con
templations of the chamber of com
merce or its individual members. It is
to be regretted, however, that tenden
cies of this character are bound to
manifest themselves at a time when
the men who are trying to accomplish
something for the relief and better
ment of tlie district need the full sup
port and encouragement of every citi
zen of the district. The chamber is
preparing to undertake a great big
contract and one that will require a
lot of hard and thankless labor even
in the event that they are not success
ful. Further It is being done in the
interest of the whole community and
for the benelit of every citizen and is
therefore worthy of the fullest com
mendation.
That the chamber is striving after
big things—things that are hard to
accomplish—is all the. more to its
credit and the greater will be the sense
i f achievement—of work Well done—
n the event that results nre secured j
any one of the contemplated pro- 1
iects.
The members have probably con.tid- I
ered well what they are about und j
,iave thoroughly digested the possi- j
iiilies of obtaining what they are !
,fter, hence, it may be accepted that |
.he.v are prepared to meet the dini
quities and lace the discouragements
.< hit'll are ever a prominent feature of
ill attempts to disturb the accustomed
irder of things.
They undoubtedly recognize that they
.ave cut out a stiff Job for themselves
and it Is therefore exceedingly refresh
ing to witness the enthusiasm witli
which they are proceeding to their
.liiicult task. For this display of spirit
alone they are entitled to the support
nd encouragement of the community
ir it is indeed something rare to be
old a real live spirit disclosing itself j
mung the citizens of this section, i
. urther, it should be remembered that 1
me work they have undertaken Is not |
themselves alone but is for the j
eneilt of the entire district and is a
ubllc service in every degree,
in assuming a task of such mugnitude '
icy are giving ample evidence of a :
.orough earnestness and a whole '
carted desire to do something for the I
enetit and advancement of the dis- I
ict in which they reside. This whole- j
oine evidence of genuine public spirit ;
.s particularly worthy of commenda- 1
n in that it is something which, if
. previously existed in tills community,
.as heretofore betrayed but little evi
dence of its presence. The people of
.tune have at all times been notor
..sly lacking in civic and communal j
ride and genuine public spirit.
,.te the earliest days of the camp
- has at all times been more or less
case of every man for himself anu
i .ie devu lake the liiiiomosi. There
..is been no unanimity of purpose anu
i
j L me slightest evidence of a desire
I j further the general wellare of the
qiiiinunity.
mroughoui the many years of the
.unp's existence we nave cominueu
I . pieserve an attitude of almost com
iete indifference to anything whicu
.u not uirectly beneiit ourselves auu
uve seldom snow n the least inclina- 1
on to put our shoulder to the Wheel, |
.garuiess of what measure looking ;
u me public weal might he proposed,
u short our general altitude nas been
ny tiling but conducive to development
no pi ogress and we have been much
..ore inclined to hinder than to as
isi. in tills we have been unutterably
.lush and regrettably lacking in all
.at is essential to advancement and
ecvelupment in a situation such as ours
-vow, however, if the evidences being i
finished by the Chamber of Com- I
..nice are fair ground for Judgment, J
,.e are changing our views a little unci |
.e coming to realize labor for the gen
erai good is generally labor for ones ,
elf and that much may be accomplish- j
ed in the way of personal benefits if j
,e get in and pull on the other fellows
uw line once in a while. At least
..e Chamber of Commerce is showing
..at spirit in a marked degree and it
1 : to be hoped that the rest of us will
s.milate some of it for our own good.
.Ve can do much for ourselves by pulling
ogether for the general good of the
.ommunity and the district but, by
.untinuing in the same old attitude
f indifference to the general welfare
ve will never accomplish anythinhg
/orth while.
The Chamber of Commerce is show
.ng us an excellent example in tack
.ing with energy and enthusiasm some
cry difficult projects and it is to be ;
oped that they will be successful in
umo of them at least both for the
-sultant benefit to the community and
Iso that we may come to learn the
effect of unanimity and concentrated ef
ort in our own behalf. Goodness knows
ve need the lesson badly.
