MANILA, Feb. 21. (/P)—United

traces of the missing American
freighter Elkton, which is believed to
have gone down with all hands, a crew
of 36, in the gale which swept the dis
trict this week. Distress calls from
the Elkton were answered but no
trace of her could be found in the vi

CHEERS OF MULTITUDE WITH
IN FEW SHORT WEEKS
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21 (£>)—
From the Ferry building at the edge
of San Francisco’s famed bay a small
army of baseball players, most of
them rookies, departed yesterday
morning enthusiastically looking for
ward to the sound of cheering in just
a few short weeks. Some of them will
hear the cheering, but most of them
will be farmed out for education or
dropped with a dull thud of realism.
At least three contingents left the Bay
region—the San Francisco Seals, the
Mission and the Oakland Acorns.
In the East, the major leaguers have
started the southward trek for the
Florida camps, and westward ride for
the California priming grounds. All
will be in harness within a week.
RAIN HALTS WORKOUTS
BOYLE’S SPRING, Feb. 21. (iP)—
Rain prevented the young athletes
from taking the field here today as
the opening of the spring training for
the coming Pacific Coast League sea
ers took to the concrete plunges and
son. Some of the pitchers and catch
water to try out their arms for a short
time, but most of them put in the day’s
training at the training table.

MORE ON ALASKA
(Continued from Page One)
of car loads of produce that are ship
ped from the Pacific coast and the
South to eastern and northern points
of the United States, and which often
take a week or more in transit?
My first impression of Alaska is that
it needs a Cecil Rhodes, or some far
seeing colonizer who can solve this
transportation problem, get the peo
ple of the States and of Northern
Europe to see the great agricultural
empire waiting here, help them to get
here, help them to get a good start,
see to it that transportation rates
are reasonably low, comparable with
rates in the States, and put Alaska
on the map as the prize possession of
Uncle Sam.
That States impression of the uncon
querable climate of Alaska has, so far
as I am concerned, been knocked gal
ley west clear into the Bering sea
since I landed at the foot of your in
camparablyt beautiful mountains—all
covered with snow! I walked down
your main street this morning, leav
ing at the hotel the overcoat without
which I would have nearly frozen to
the marrow in Detroit when I went to
the train, February 6, to undertake
this journey to “the frozen North.”
It rather staggers the imagination
to vision what might be the future of
Alaska if the job of developing her
resources is tackled in the right way.

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.”
