For a number of weeks past there
has been rumors of a change of
ownership in Alaskan Airplane
companies but while the majority
have heard of the proposed change,
nothing authentic has yet been an
nounced by the companies involved.
The first report was to the effect
that the Alaskan Airways was to
purchase the Pacific International
Airways; the second report is that
the Pan-American Airways is to
take over the Alaskan Airways giv
ing them another unit in their pro
posed round-the-world service.
It is also said that a Mr. Peck,
representing the Pan-American,
will shortly arrive in Alaska to
either look the proposition over or
to assume charge.
Employees of both Alaskan com
panies, while also hearing of these
reports, know nothing of any such
contemplated change.
Black bear appear to be numer
ous in the Lost Lake country, local
folk who have recently visited that
area, report.

BEAR STOLE CLOTHING
Mosquitoes in the Willow Creek
area recently enoyed a hearty
feast, it is reported when a miner,
deciding his year was up and it was
time for his annual bath, stripped
off his garments and plunged into
a creek. While performing his
abolutions, a bear appeared on the
scene and after tearing up the biin
die of clothes on the bank, made
off with them. The miner had to
walk 11 miles thru a mosquito in
fested region without a stitch on,
before reaching a cabin.
MUM IS NOW
ONE OF POETTIEST
CITIES IN TERRITORY
WiHh a rapidity exceeding the
transformation from a tent town
to the first evidence of a perma
nent community of graded streets
and sidewalks, Anchorage has rap
idly become the prettiest city in
Alaska.
Within the past two years old
time crudities of small shacks and
scars of earlier pioneer days, have
dissolved before an era of home and
city beautification which is in
spiring to all those who admire
progress and civic pride.
As if a keen rivalry existed to ex
cel, every home owner and business
tenant has plunged into a move
ment which has fructified in an
expression of civic pride as inspir
ing as it is interesteing.
And this at a time when the re
mainder of the world is talking de- |
pressicn and many others are
standing around asking what to do. j
One of the things which forcibly
impresses itself upon the visitor toj
the Headquarters City is the num
ber of beautiful vegetable and
flower gardens, the well-kept
lawns, beautiful parking spaces
along the sidewalk and the spick
and span small or pretentious
home nestling like a gem amidst
all this expression of refinement
and stability.
Through a natural genius far
material progress the city admin
istrators have managed to keep
pace with the private individual in
the well-kept streets, sidewalks,
| sanitation and lighting, and at the
same time maintained a substan
tial treasury capable of retiring
its bonded indebtedness, that for
the erecttion of the splendid $50,000
school building addition.
And throughout this, taxes have
been kept to the minimum com
mensurate with safety and the
march of progress now so visiblj
impressed wherever one cares tc
wander over the beautiful prairie
like townsite.
Back of all this, and of far more j
importance than any other per-!
manent agency, are the Willow I
Creek mines, which are gradually I
taking their place among the big;
mineral developments of Alaska.;
Further north are the Cache Creek!
and Valdez Creek mining areas and
to the south, Girdwood. Then there!
are the fisheries, whose fluctuation j
are offset by such revenues as those !
accruing from agriculture, also just!
now emerging from the pioneer j
stage into tangible permanent in
dustry; air t^ses from which radi-!
ate lines of communication to every !
part of the Territory and far out
into the Aleutian Islands, and fur
ther communications thru KFQD,
“The Voice of the Golden North,”
which broadcast-station has grown
from a small pioneer beginning to
be recognized as an indispensable
asset, whose good will extends to
every point where a receiving set
is installed, and which has per
formed a great humanitarian ser
vice in bringing the news of the
outside world to isolated places, re
layed messages of distress and has
won its way among the broadcast
ing stations of the nation for the
excellence of its programs and per
fection of its service.
The key to the situation was the
alacrity with which the citizens
readjusted themselves to the
changes occasioned by federal re
trenchment and branched out to
substitute something to take its
place. In the process they have as
i sisted in solving the unemployment
question by launching their move
ment at a time when other avenues
j of employment were closed, giving
j perference to those who have kept
Flowers made to order for all
occasions. Sylvia’s.

they are
Milder!
YOU’RE RIGHT.. . there’s one thing that stands
out about Chesterfield. That is . . . they’re Milder.
This means Chesterfields aren’t harsh. It means
they’re not strong or heavy.
Early in the day or late at night you’ll find that
Chesterfields are always pleasing. They are mild
and yet they satisfy.
What’s more they taste better, too. That’s it...
milder and better taste. These are the two out
standing merits of Chesterfield.
Plus ... a third important advantage. Chester
fields are as pure as the water you drink ... as
pure as science can make them.
