MAKING ONE’S OWN PROSPERITY
While it is quite natural that everyone is desirous of saving in any ;
manner possible it is questionable if this rule aptly applies to The Alas
ka Railroad in relation to freight charges. There is such a thing as be
ing penny wise and pound poor.
The railroad is the gauge of imemdiate prosperity between Seward !
nd Fairbanks. It is the largest disbursement of wages. Any curtailment
of this item through diverting tonnage from the railroad to the Rich
.rdson wagon road, means a curtailment in crews and other employees.
And it must be remembered that the building and upkeep of the
Richardson wagon road comes out of the public purse. It was builded
for the purpose of opening a large stretch of rich country between
Valdez and Fairbanks, and to afford tourists the experience of travel
jng overland along a route made famous in pioneer days. It is hardly
to be expected that the government will be willing to exert itself in
maintaining this avenue at its highest standard if it will serve as a
rival to its heaviest investment in the Territory, namely the railroad.
Every legitimate effort has been made to have the railroad rates
reduced. The question is not dead by any means, and should be kept
alive in Washington. But there is such a thing as pride—(not allowing
the other fellow to know how bad he has hurt you! It is time to begin
asserting this pride, and cooperating with Colonel Ohlson in getting
the railroad out of the debit and into the credit column. There are
•other things incubating which will overshadow the question of differ
ence between the rates and the revenue to b drawn. Among the present
important hem, is that of creating a demand for larger payrolls on the
railroad and guarantee not only permanent jobs for the workers but a
larger revenue disbursed to business.
King Amasis of Egypt promulgated a law calling upon every man
in his kingdom to declare the source of his livelihood. If it was not
honest., the culprit was put to death. Just suppose Borah got this by
the Senate?
Arguments over who invented the typewriter have been renewed.
Anyway, nobody has invented one that spells correctly.
Some of our foreign investments may not be entirely sound, but
• they nevertheless have the appearance of permanency.
The fashion notes say there will be trimmings in profusion. Evi
dently the efforts of Congress to control Wall Street have met a snag.
No one loves a quitter, but the acquitters seem to be fairly popular.

FLOATING CANNERY
Skinner & Eddy plan to bring a
floating cannery Westward this
season and operate at Sand Point,
it is reported, with Wm. Studdart
in charge. The King Cove can
nery will not operate this season,
it was also said, and the Squaw
Harbor plant will only operate two
lines.
The program celebrating the
200th anniversary of George Wash
ington’s birthday, held in the Com
munity Church Sunday evening,
was well attended by Sewardites.
The local rumor has it that the
local cold storage plant of the San
Juan Fishing & Packing Company
will not operate this year owing to
the low price of halibut. A recent
quotation at Seattle was 2c and 4c.

FUNERAL SERVICES HELD
FOR MRS. V. R. PIERCE
Hundreds of Alaskans assembled
at the Home Undertaking Chapel
in Seattle February 19 to pay a
final tribue to Mrs. V. H. Pierce,
who passed away in Seattle. Scores
of beautiful floral tributes sur
rounded the casket wherein lay the
remains of this pioneer lady, who
recently came out of the Northland
and was unexpectedly called away
to the realm from which none re
turn, reports the Alaska Weekly.
To mourn her loss, Mrs. Pierce
leaves in her immediate family a
daughter, Mrs. Edith Johnson of
Fail banks, her father in Seweden,
two brothers in Minnesota, and her
devoted husband, who at present
is in Seattle, and who for many
years has been connected with the
Alaska Road Commission.
Pallbearers at the funeral were
Gus Peterson, Thomas Carr, Chas.
Holky, John Gravdahl, Harry Lane
and R. J. McKanna.
