HISTORY OF A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT
The outline chapter which The Gateway publishes in this
* issue from a historical volume in course of preparation
by John E. Ballaine will meet the wishes of the entire
population of Alaska, and many thousands outside of
Alaska. It contains exactly the authoritative informa
tion for which there has been real need and a general
demand.
It too often happens that originators and leaders in
big developments that are permanent in their bearings on j
all future generations have neglected to leave authentic
accounts of their undertakings and achievements.
The volume that Mr. Ballaine is preparing will be one
of the most important of permanent historical works
from original sources ever compiled for a large section of
the growing and expanding parts of the United States.
He was the originator and the leader who planned
and carried through to a successful finish a great work
that will affect the destiny of Alaska for all time.
With it, he has been clean and honorable in his con
duct and methods, and has fought his battles bravely and
in the open.
On the screen the other night the following sub-title
was flashed; Kodiak, near Alaska. The editor might
have gone further and stated: Kodiak where Kodaks
were originated.
It is said a baby is worth $1,000 to the community.
The McMahilFs should be rewarded then for they present
ed the town of Anchorage with twins the other day.
