ANCHORAGE, ALASKA. MONDAY, APRIL 1917.
WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE MONEY?
< (lie-half of tlu* money derived front lire sale of lots in 11 it* (
townsite of Anchorage, and this comprehends payments al-1
ready made as well as payments to he made, is to he placed at
the disposal of the townsite authorities, to he expended on such
public utilities and public improvements for the benefit ot the j
whole town as may he thought advisable. The Alaskan Engi
neering Commission has advanced a substantial amount ot
money in financing the erection of a public school building, etc.,
and the funds so advanced will be returned out of tin* town's
.‘»0 per cent share of the lot sales, .lust how much money the
Commission has advanced to keep things moving along here, we
do not know. I Wit after liquidating this indebtedness, we shall
still have a substantial sum remaining for public improve
ments. Now, what sltall we do with the money? That’s the
important question to be decided at this time, and the people;
who compose this community have the undoubted right to have
a say in the expenditure.
The Times lias taken some trouble to sound public opin
ion with respect to this matter. Our canvass has not been as
complete as we should like to have it. and our columns are
open to anyone Inn ing suggestions to otter. And in the mean
time. we shall make a few observations ourselves, as to what
we think should be done, with a part ot the funds, at least.
Fourth avenue, the main business street ot Anchorage,
should he improved without delay, .lust what torm this im
provement should take opinions may difler, but we would sug
gest that for the present a substantial roadbed, made of crushed
rock or coarse gravel, for a width ot some 20 feet, would sut
fiee. There should likewise he drains on each side of the street,
close to the sidewalks.
Another vital need is a sewerage system. A part of the
fumls could Ik* very wisely employed in this direction this sea
son. The need is urgent as a protection to health and proper
sanitation.
Improvements in the water system should be made, to the
end that the hydrants, depended upon for lire lighting, should
be kept open and in working condition throughout the winter
period.
A PIONEER HAS BEEN CALLED.
The pioneers of this community are shocked at the passing
of William B. Hastings, whom the death angel summoned from
a sick bod in the government hospital yesterday. Thirty years
ago, this sterling sourdough citizen first came to Alaska, to
accept employment with the Alaska Commercial company, at
one of its westward trading stations, lie had resided in the
territory since that time, save for a year or two, passed in the
states. At the time of his death he was employed by the Alas
kan Engineering commission. In company with Sam (Dun
ham, the Alaska poet, Mr. Hastings at one time owned one of
the richest placer mines ever found in the northland—No. 1 on
Daniels creek. 100 miles south of Nome. I nder tin* Noyes
regime, the claim was thrown into the hands of a receiver, and
when it was again returned to the hands of tin* original locat
ors. it had been denuded of its fabulous wealth.
In the untimely demise of this respected pioneer, Alaska
sutTcrs a distinct loss, (tin* of its trail blazers, one of its most
devoted and loyal citizens has crossed over the last Great Di
vide. Because of his long residence in the territory, he was
among the most widely known; because of his attributes, he
one of the most beloved.
Requieseat in pace.
OUR GERMAN ALASKANS.
(Juneau Dispatch)
Now that it has come to war we can be sure that the Ger
mans in Alaska are just as good American as any of us. There
isn’t one of us who is not happy in the acquaintance of some
Alaskans who were born in the country with which we shall
be in a state of war, but we know them too well to consider them
anything but the best of. Americans and the best of friends.
George Washington was English to the core, even if not born
in England, and who would dare say that he was not the
noblest American of them all.' There may be some Genuan
born amongst us who have not been njttjiraljzed, but even if the
law requires that they must be considered as “alien enemies,”
they will only 'be so considered in the technical sense. Ger
many and America will again be friends. The German people
and the American people are friends today and tin* government
of the United States in warring on the governmental methods
of Germany can well say to the German people in the words of
Ihi* old German song:
“Brothers, till up anew; we war not, friends, on you.”

THE STORY OF THE FAITHFUL WIFE.
There was a certain Female Woman who thought that a Wife should be
a Real Helpmate, and do any little thing she could to help Husband the
Family Bank Roll. While competing lor a Silver Bon Bon Dish at a Bridge
Party she heard her partner telling about the wonderful results from San
Tox Cold Cream she bought from Z. J. Loussac’s Drug Store.
With ears open she drank in experiences showing that this cold cream
would cleanse and beautify the skin, that it is soothing and healing and will
not grow hair, is cheaper than other creams, and that altogether it is very
desirable.
This Resourceful Charmer escaped a chiding for having neglected her
Household Duties by informing Friend Husband how he could have money
and have a more Beautiful Wife through her buying San-Tox Cold Cream
at Loussac’s; ami she did to their Mutual Delight and Profit.
MORAL: The experience of others is just as valuable as your own—
and it costs less.
