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 rea’lzed.
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.”

PITTSBURGH, March 29.
“Pigs is pigs” to Joe McCullough,
railroad freight agent at Minerva, Pa.
A consignment of 12 pigs number
ed 17 when they reached Joe. Much
perturbed, he had his clerk, Cliff
Elliman verify the count, The con
signee refused the shipment on the
grounds the excess pigs did not be
long to him.
Joe called on officials here for
help. Before they could solve the
problem Elliman reported there were
20 pigs. Joe then took it upon him
self to change the bill of lading to
read “12 pigs plus natural increase,
total 20” and induced the consignee
to except them.
