of Mr. Meyer’s party and explained
how much good had resulted at Pan
ama following visits by similar parties
there.
In a humorous vein he expressed
considerable interest ih Mr. Austin,
secretary to Meyer, whom he stated
after securing permission to patronize
the commissary on the line had ap
peared in gum shoes and a dark veil,
“taking notes.”
“Mud, mosquitoes and expense ac
count,” was Austin’s explanation.
Andrew Christiansen recounted the
uproar he had caused early in the his
tory of the project by penning a tele
gram to encourage people to buy lots
in the government townsite at Anchor
age.
Baseball and Terminals
“I had been advised by a friend who
had experience in selling lots, to
boost,” said Christiansen. “Casting
about for material 1 considered the
statements of Captain Mears as to
what he wanted the land for on which
the people were squatting. He used
the word ‘terminal’ and I used it.
There was a meeting at the old head
quarters of the organization which
was just as enthusiastically attended
as this one and I was also there.
What they said to me was plenty.
“As 1 consider the matter today
and realize that had it not been for
my building Anchorage, as I am re
sponsible for all of it, you know, what
would the Seward fans have done for
a ball team to beat or for a meal
ticket.”
Mr. Christiansen then called atten
tion to the fact that Matanuska Val
ley farmers were raising between 3,
000 and 4.000 tons of potatoes this
year and that so far indications from
Alaskan merchants provided a market
for only 1500 tons.
“It is our duty and your duty to use
Alaskan products first,” said Chris
tiansen. “We must encourage this de
velopment by using the output ot the
farmers. So long as these potatoes
last none should be shipped in, for in
this way we can cut down on the ton
nage necessary to be hauled into the
Territory.”
Final remarks were made by Judge
Finnegan and following the luncheon
the guests tarried to express personal
appreciation of the courtesies extend
ed. Copies of The Gateway, which
was just out, were distributed, and
every man present paused for a suffi
cient time to acqaint himself with the
latest news from the battlefronts.
