COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATIONS.
The following editorial taken from
the Seward Gateway of a recent date,
shows the effect of the organization
in Valdez of the new Valdez Com
mercial Association has had upon our
sister town. The Gateway urges sim
ilar organization for Seward:
“Valdez has organized a new Cham
ber of Commerce to further the claims
of the glacier city as a possible term
inal for the new’ government built
railroad. Get in line neighbor and
boost for your own town, and it is
a good thing to remember the words
of one of the foremost citizens oi inai
place when he stated that it was up
to all Alaskans to get in and boost
for their own town in this matter, but
to limit their efforts to boosting, and
asking that they be as big as the
country they live in and as lofty as
the mountains of the country, and
not to stoop to knocking the claims J
of a rival town.
Valdez showed the right spirit when
they got in and subscribed the sum
of $1,200 to be used in a campaign
of publicity in placing the claims of
that town for the terminal before the
right parties, and Sew'ard might well
follow the example. The trouble with
this place is that we are prone to sit
back, all serene in the knowledge of
the fact that we have a cinch in our
natural advantages and kid ourselves
into the belief that when the time
comes to begin construction on a
railroad the engineers will come,
here and begin work. Theree is a
fable in the story books about a race I
between a rabit and a turtle. The
rabbit had all the best of it but went
to sleep and Mr. Turtle grabbed the
prize in a walk.
Let’s start something right away
and not be in the position of the
,rab"bit that slept until it was too bite.
