LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

MEET JNDECEMBEB
THREE-DAY CONFERENCE TO BE
HELD IN SAN FRANCISCO
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 19. (£>)—A
widespread demand for a further dis
cussion of important Western prob
lems has called for the addition of a
third day to the program of the West
ern Divisional meeting of the Cham
ber of commerce of the United States
at Colorado Springs. The conference
is now scheduled for December 6, 7,
and 8.
The third day, December 8, will be
devoted primarily to topics of out
standing interest to executives of
commercial organizations.
The development of commercial
aviation as dependent upon individual
community assistance will be discus
sed by R. E. Fisher, a director of the
California Development Association
and chairman of the Aeronautical
committee of that organization. Cali
fornia—Fisher will showr—has already
taken the leadership in this new field
of transportation progress.
As the establishment of municipal
airports is considered one of the vital
factors of commercial aviation de
velopment, and their standardization
of equipment, size and proximity to
population centers are a gauge of their
value, Fisher will ask the cooperation
of all states of the Pacific slope in
the formulation of a coordinated pro
gram in the advancement of this
work.
The development of the scenic and
recreational features of the great
West, lauded by many as peerless in
their diversity and supreme in their
magnifieance, will be discussed by T.
A. Stevenson, manager of the Tacoma
Chamber of Commerce; H. A. Rhodes,
president of Rainier National Park
company, and speakers from other
parts of the West.
The theme of this discussion will
also be that of cooperative and co
ordinative development. A compre
hensive schedule of the scenic and re
creational resources together with
their potentialities and a listing of
the comfort facilities care for the
tourist will be urged.

ANGHORHEE YOUTH IS
ON OOILDSON; PUNS
BECOME SILVERSMITH
En route to Seattle from Nome on
the motor schooner Donaldson, is Wil
liam Black, former Anchorage youth,
who, during the past summer has been
holding down an engineer’s job on the
Seward peninsula railroad, operating
out of Nome to Shelton., a distance of
75 miles. When asked how a man as
young as he was, happened to be an
engineer, young Black laughed and
said the locomotive was operated by
a Fordson engine. He also worked
for the Alaska Road Commission in
the Nome area. He is now on the
ship’s articles—the DionaldJst^n’s—as
assistant cook, as he explains it, dish
washer.
It is his intention to become an ap
prentice in some silversmith shop in
Seattle for while in Anchorage he was
employed by Avakoff and Brown, who
also conduct a store in Fairbanks, and
while there showed remarkable appi
tude for this line of work. Just when
he will return to Alaska. wTas doubtful
for he has been up here many years
and more or less is inclined to re
f'
main in the States and perhaps, later
and if he is lucky, find the right girl
and settle down, for he is tired of
roaming about.
While in Seward ‘Bill’ met many
former acquaintances with whom he
has been enjoying a good visit.
RAILROAD REDUCES FARES
FDR T1NKSGIIUNG TRIPS
Round trip fares for Thanksgiving
excursions on the Alaska railroad,
will be one and one-third the charge
of the one-way fare, according to an
announcement by the railroad. The
dates of sale of the tickets will be
fronj Nov. 21 to 25, inclusive, with the
final return limit November 30.
This ruling applies from and to all
stations on the system. Where pas
sengers board the trains at non-agen
cy stations, they will' be carried to the
first agency station where tickets can
be obtained from the originating sta
tion to final destination. Stopovers
will not be permitted in either direc
tion.
The New York Trust company
points out that increased money
wages and* a decline in the price
level have contributed toward giv
ing labor today the highest wage in
history.
