CENTRAL ALL ALASKA PUBLICITY BUREAU
The large number of inquiries received by Leonard
Hopkins, popular and proficient Secretary of the Seward
Chamber of Commerce, relative to Alaska and the op
portunities it offers, splendidly supports the consistent
contention of The Gateway that “persistent publicity
pays.” It eloquently emphasizes the duty and desirabil
ity of the population centers of Alaska establishing an
All-Alaska Chamber of Commrece with a permanent
paid secretary in charge to conduct a consistent and cap
able campaign of publicity for Alaska.
We have advocated a Central All-Alaska bureau of
publicity for a long time. It has been much cussed and
discussed. Most of the Alaska papers with the exception
of Anchorage and Fairbanks, have, at different times,
approved it.
The voluminous correspondence of the “one man
chamber of commerce” of “Babe” Hayes of Cordova,
shows what can be done by one man interested in Alas
ka and its progress. The success of “Babe” Hayes can
be greatly multiplied by the united action of the com
mercial bodies of the Territory operating under a Cen
tral All-Alaska bureau.
Commencing with this issue The Gateway extends
its campaign to do some effective boosting for Alaska by
giving free to each arriving tourist a copy of The Gate
way and urging him to continue on to Anchorage, Mc
Kinley Park, Fairbanks, the Richardson Highway, the
Steese Highway and all the other interesting points in
the Interior.
REACHING TOWARD THE STARS
Alaska’s struggle toward the stars will some day
attain a place beside the stars of sister states in the
union but not before Alaskans themselves get behind
the land of their adoption 100 per cent; also, when the
plutocrats at Washington give serious thought to Alas
ka and its development instead of how many votes they
might get from “Podunk” next year should they favor
a certain “pork-barrel” measure.
Owing to the terrible condition of Seward streets,
it might be well for autoists who contemplate taking
visitors for a ride, get out of town as quickly as possi
ble. The streets are a disgrace, speaking frankly.
Our ancestors lived on roots and raw meat, inhab
ited caves and hollow trees and attired themselves in a
streak of red paint for winter overcoat and a few freck
les for summer ulster. But as the world made progress
from pure animalism the luxuries of one generation be
came the necessities of the next, until the present era
when we find the entire world living far beyond its sen
sible or practical income.
************
Sourdoughs around Alaskan towns have long been*
amused by many flapper tourists who desire to meet
Northern oldtimers with pokes of gold bulging from
packs and coats. This kind of oldtimer exists, principal
ly, only in the movies.
************
Patrick Henry it was who said: “We can only judge
the future by the past.” Past experiments with prohibi
tion have been rank failures as is the present attempt.
************
Free and unlimited coinage of silver is a step for
ward; gold monometalism is an unequivocal step back
wards.
