Above is the name of a little news
paper printed at Rampart by Sam J.
Callahan for the three years ending in
August, 1907. The material on which
that paper was printed is the same used
in the production of the Tanana Leader
since George M. Arbuckle stampeded
with his more elaborate plant to the
Iditarod. It has been sold to Albert G.
Stamm, of Fairbanks, who succeeds to
the business of the Leader, but who
elects to put out the paper under the
old name. Mr. Stamm will be here in
a few days to assume control of the
publication, and Mr. Callahan will be
with him in the capacity of printer.
The latter may also occasionally con
tribute articles under his own signature.
Both tl>e Yukon Valley News and the
Tanana Leader were moderately success
ful ventures, and there are many rea
sons why the success should be more
pronounced under the present arrange
ment. Anyway, it is given out with
confidence that the people of this great
and growing section of interior Alaska
will be furnished with a newsy and oth
erwise meritorious paper.
BE OF GOOD CHEER
Viewed from the most pessimistic
standpoint, Tanana’s future never ap
peared so bright as at the present mo
ment. The jobbing business is better
than ever before, and all lines of legiti
mate trade are in a highly satisfactory
condition. The hotel business alone
has slightly outgrown the proportions
of profitable operation, but even in that
line of enterprise the gross income is
now and is liable to continue in excess
of all previous times. Besides, there is
nothing that so adds to the prestige of a
place that is called upon to entertain
numerous travelers, like Tanana is, as
the excellence of its hotel accommoda
tions. Tanana’s hotels will soon be
noted as the best in interior Alaska;
Tanana’s postoffice is the best equipped
in all Alaska; the Fort Gibbon military
post will soon rank all other’s in Alaska;
Tanana is the most central town in
Alaska. Some of the keenest eyes in
Alaska are on Tanana. Unlike other
places, Tanana gains from every good
that comes to any part of interior
Alaska. But one thing is needed to
make Tanana the premier city of the far
north, and that is the development of
the nearby mineral resources, and that
is within easy view.
Let us bee of good cheer, brethren, for
great things are in store for our chosen
city and section.
