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.”

Browning inventions never lacked
a market. From the time he manu
factured his first gun at the age of
13, until the World War, made him
more widely known, Browning receiv
ed flattering offers for his ideas and
inventions almost as soon as they had
taken definite shape on the work
bench.
The son of a rifle manufacturer,
Browning devoted much of his time
as a child fashioning simple toys
from scraps of metal picked up around
his father’s shop in Ogden, Utah. It
was from such scraps that he made
his first gun—a single shot weapon
that proved effective in shooting rab
bits. Ten years later he had invented
and manufactured 600 rifles which lat
er became known as the Winchester
single shot model. From then on the
Winchester company bought every
model young Browning was willing to
sell.
Turning his attention to automatic
pistols, he produced in 1S96 the model
used by the United States armies in
both the Spanish-American and Euro
pean wars. The manufacturing rights
for this "weapon were secured by the
Colt Arms Manufacturing company.
For more than a century before
Browning’s time, inventors had been
experimenting with rapid-fire repeat
ing guns. The most notable survivor
when Browning turned his attention
to such a rifle in the early 90’s was
the Gatling gun, produced by Richard
Jordan Gatling before the American
Civil War, and used as late as the
Spanish-American war.
The first machine gun turned out
by Browning was made famous dur
ing the Spanish-American conflict and
though its effective work in both land
and naval battles around Santiago, be
came known as “The Peacemaker.”
After the Spanish-American war,
Browning devoted his time to im
provements in pistols, rifles and shot
guns. When the European war be
i gan he again turned his attention to
i
machine guns, realizing that such
weapons would become of first im
i portance in the conflict. The Browning
: water-cooled rapid fire gun, capable of
firing 600 shots a minute, was the re
I suit of his experimentation. Then fol
! lowed the machine gun rifle and still
i later the airplane arrangement , by
which three guns, controlled by one
trigger, can discharge 3,600 bullets a
minute. These devices were used by
the armies of the United States, Eng
land, France, Belgium, Italy and Rus
sia.
Shortly before the European wrar,
Mr. Browning was decorated with the
Chevalier of the Order of Leopold by
King Albert of Belgium. In the
United States he was honored with
the John Scott legacy, awarded by the
Franklin Institute of Philadelphia.
Mr. Browning "was born in Ogden,
Utah, in 1854. While regarding Og
den as his home, he spent a great part
of his time during and after the war
in Hartford, Conn., headquarters of
the big plants which manufacture
many of his inventions.
Early in life he married Rachael
Child. They had seven children, John
Browning, Mrs. E. L. Ford, Mrs. B.
F. Ballantyne, Mrs. Joseph Olson, and
Val, Kenneth and Elizabeth Browning.
