“k NOCK DOWN" V km; I • M KNTS
The Anchorage Times of November
8th, under the caption of “The Trou
ble with Seward." takes* up all of it>
editorial column ’ in a harangue on
knocking and the only redeeming fea
ture about this article is that if a
black border had been placed about
it, it would have been a most suitable
death knell, a bit of crepe which
would have signified its own death.
As usual the Anchorage Times
again insinuates that the Seward
Gateway is “knocking" Anchorage
If telling the truth is knocking
then you het your old pacs, the Gate-j
way has knocked, hammered, slugged,
wrestled, hammer-locked and half-nel
soned Anchorage. If the Gateway has
knocked in telling the truth, then this
poor old world is compost'd of nothing
but knocks, courts are nothing but
knocks, everything i.^ knocks, knocks,
knocks and yet more knocks. 1 he
reasoning of the Anchorage limes
editorial is about as poor an excuse
on the merits of the subject as would
be acclaimed by a primary grade pu
Then the Anchorage Times pro
ceeds to declare that the cause for all

“knocks,” beg pardon.I were inspired
by a man who has absolutely no in
terest in the Gateway, financially or
otherwise. This last declaration was
in black face type, it’s last wail

What you perhaps mean to use is
the word “knockdown

pletely overthrows the reasoning oi

directed.’’ Don’t say "we are knocs

Brig. Gen. W. 1*. Richardson, who
has long anti >o weell served the Alas
ka communities in opening the wilder
ness by means of communicating
rou*is and trails, has been called to
report at Washington for duty, and
it is likely that he is to be detached
from his important work in the north,
to perhaps more important work for
the nation.
Gen. Richardson's long service ii
Alaska has builded him a monument
in good roads that will endure long.
When he was first made chairman <>1
the Alaska road commission there |
wee not more than six miles of \va
gon roads in the territory. Today DS(>
miles of wagon roads, f»00 miles of
winter trails and 2,000 miles of pion
eer trails are under the jurisdiction
through the Alaska wilderness ha*
been a tremendous task, beset with
difficulties, not only in accomplishing
the work, but often in getting federal
support for it. Just now the new
Alaska railroad promises to greatly
assist the communicating lines of tht
territory', but General Richardson'*
roads will always !>e useful, always
necessary to the full utility of the rail
lines, and even more are needed. On«
road in particular, the \ aldez trail, is
to become a great scenic highway, in
creasing in popularity ar.d use as it?
utility becomes known to tourists.
The Alaska bureau of* the Seatth
Chamber of Commerce and Commer
cial Club entertains (Jen. Richardson
at luncheon today, and this will fur
nish an opportunity to Seattle men t<
express personal appreciation for hi.
splendid work in the north. 1 he l*ost

in voicing appreciation on behalf ol
the communities and peoples he ha?

(Seattle Spirit)
All producing copper mines are be
ing operated to capacity and devel
opment pushed on the more promising
properties to bring them to a shipping
stage. This industry has been some
what hampered through lack of suffi
cient transportation.
The ri-himg industry of Alaska this
year has exceeded ail former record:
both in catch and in prices, resulting
in most prosperous conditions in thi?*
industry. All of the coast towns of
Alaska are now using every effort to
develop their fishing resources.
Cold, quartz and placer mining in
Alaska is being curtailed, due to the
shortage of labor and high cost of
supplies and material. No improve
ment in these industries can be ex
pected until conditions become more
normal.

And yet not a peep regarding the
party or parties who suggested that
Seward should give a mid-winter car
nival Some one must have made tin*
proposal, and who was it ?
They do what no
other cigarette
ever did before;
they satisfy— and
yet they’re MILD.
