SEMI-CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
The Alaska bureau, otitic Seattle Chamber of Connneree,
has sent a telegraphic m^Gkage to the Anchorage Chamber of
Commerce, which i&.self-explanatory, as follows:
“ We beg to suggest that you wire the secretary of the navy
requesting the assignment of naval vessels to accompany the
Alaska bureau party that will tour the territory this summer,
to participate in the Alaska semicentennial Celebrations at tin*
various towns. Everything is favorable for securing the most
distinctive party ever organized for an excursion to Alaska
The number will be limited only by the transportation availa
ble.”
The local.chamber will hold a meeting tonight and it is a
foregone conclusion that it will heartily accept the suggestion
made by rite Alaska bureau.
The semi-centennial celebrations referred to in the fore
going message are for the purpose of commemorating the fif
tieth year of American occupation of Alaska. And it is about
time that this community began to make preparations for a lo
cal observance rtfi this auspicious event. It is probable that no
exact date may he.set at this time for a local celebration. The
celebration can begin with the arrival of the excursion party
from Keattle-and other outside points.
THE BOND ISSUE.
It is to be hoped that, in lieu of a regular appropriation,
the congress will provide moneys for construction work on tin*
government railway project in Alaska, by authorizing a bond
issue covering this, as well as other items for which funds are
needed. The advantage of the bond issue lies in the fact that
a much larger sum would be made available than under a spo
cific appropriation, as heretofore. Information by mail seems
to indicate that the administration has decided upon a bond is
sue for this and other purposes. With a sum exceeding twen
tv million dollars available for construction, the Alaskan En
gineering commission could go ahead with construction, nnh’n
dered by lack of funds to complete the project as far a- Fair
banks. The best results can be achieved by having money
available to prosecute the work, unhindered by delavs iimi
dent ti> lack of funds.
mt. McKinley an asset.
We do not believe that the residents of this community i<■
alivse what an asset, from the standpoint of the tourist trade,
the majestic Mt. .McKinley, visible from Anchorage, is to this
point. We take it that very few communities would overlook
the fact that they were in sight of the highest mountain on the
American continent, and one of the highest in the known
world. This in itself is enough to attract a big tourist trade
to this port. The difficulty lies in the fact that the people
throughout the United States do not know that they can step
aboard a steamer at Seattle, land in comfort and safety at An
chorage and take a good* look at one of the highest and most
beautiful mountains in the wide world. We should play this \
mountain up. It is an asset that, if properly exploited, will
bring hundreds, each year, to this place. This mountain should
be a feature of steamship advertising, too.
While the war is in progress, the tourist is denied a trip to 1
the old world, lie must look elsewhere for his pleasure and
outing trip, Let us lead him in this direction. Congressman
Humphrey, of Washington, who himself has made two hunting
drops to southwestern Alaska, and knows whereof he speaks, |
is boosting the scenic beauties of the north land.

ASKS HONOR FOR ALASKA.
— (SeatJeJ/T.) ' J i
The appropriateness of naming one of the. new battleships
Alaska, after the country’s last great frontier, is to be urged
upon the navy department by the Alaska bureau of the Seattle
Uhamfeet of Commerce. This action was decided upon at a
meeting of the members of the bureau held on Tuesday in the
Arctic club. A resolution declaring that Alaska is a land of
rich and unlimited resources and that its great coal fields con
tain the only coal on the Pacific coast suitable for naval pur
]mses, was adopted by the members of the bureau and ordered
-cut to Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
From a democratic source, it is learned that if the d<*mo
crntic candidate for delegate to congress finds, by the official
returns of the canvassing board, that Delegate Wickersham is
in the lead, he will contest the election, presumably in the hope
that a democratic congress will seat him. It occurs to us that
the democratic candidate should abide by the result as deter
mined by the official canvassing board, the members of which
are democrats. The people like a manly loser.
