LET US HAVE ROADS AND TRAILS.
The Times would like to see some member of the Alaska
legislative assembly from the Third division, when the assembly
convenes next March, introduce a bill calling for the appropria
tion of four hundred thousand dollars for the building of roads
and trails in Alaska, one hundred thousand dollars to be al
lotted to each of the four divisions of the territory for this pur
pose. When Mr. Cobb, attorney for the territory, was in Anch
orage, he informed local citizens that there were some five or
six hundred thousand dollars in the territorial treasury, await
ing appropriation, at the pleasure of the coming session of the
Alaska legislative assembly. It is within the province of the
territorial legislature to appropriate this money for any pur
pose it may see tit. We know of no better way in which the
funds, which should be set to work at the earliest opportunity,
could be employed, than in the building of roads and trails and
for school purposes. Both of these matters are of the first im
portance to Alaska and a legislature that will thus wisely ap
propriate the available funds will win the approval of the peo
ple of the territory.
We commend this suggestion to* the thoughtful considera
tion of our home representatives—Messrs. Cannon and Price.
WE. HAVE THE MATERIAL IN PLENTY.
Probably fevr towns are to be found with as good timber
for a military company as Anchorage. We have not only ex
national guardsmen but there are also numbers of ex-regulars
with the technical knowledge and training, llie insouciant
swing and “I’m-at-home-in-my-clothes” sort of style pe
culiar to professionals in military affairs.. Some are from the
line, representing infantry, cavalry and artillery; the staff
corps are represented by men from the medical, engineei’, sig
nal, quartermaster and coast artillery corps; men who have fil
led all enlisted positions from top-sergeants to kitchen police.
There are drill instructors, red-tape wrestlers, graduates of ar
my cook’s and baker’s schools and mule skinners. There are
naval men, volunteers and marines. Many of them are carry
ing marksmen’s insignias around in their war bags, and have
a personal speaking acquaintance with artillery ot all sorts
from Colts’ automatics and mud ovens to coast defense plotting
boards and Buzzacotts. So'nic of them have smelled hostile gun
powder in Cuba, the Philippines and Indian campaigns, have
looked in on a few of the numerous Central American revolu
tions, and broken trail in the sand while mushing along the
Mexican border.
Anchorage seems to present an ideal field for a territorial
military company and a detachment of a staff corps or two,
and since Governor Strong has been authorized to provide for
such organizations, now is the time for some wide-awake enthu
siastic professional or business man, with a modicum of mili
tary training to start things, secure men and equipment, fasten
the double hurdles to his shoulder straps and give Alaska a
feature that will put. Anchorage on the military map.
DEPARTMENT HEADQUARTERS HERE.
The establishment of the headquarters of the land and in
dustrial department of the Alaskan Engineering Commission
at Anchorage is a proper designation. Tt should have been es
tablished here in the first instance, because the Cook inlet
country is essentially a region that will come mostly within
the scope of the department's activities. There is a logical
location for headquarters for activities of this nature, and An
chorage is certainly tin* ideal location as a headquarters lor
this department. There are things doing around here. De
velopments of a substantial nature are in progress. To aid. in
these developments is the province of this department and it
has a wide field for its activities hereabouts. The department
is hardly on a working basis as yet, but by next spring it will
be in shape to-take a helping hand in many matters.
Mr. Andrew Christensen is the head of this department,
which is a guarantee that it will be capably conducted and that
it will employ its energies for the good of the whole territory
tapped by the railway line. _

Robert Olson and Tom and William
Donahue arrived in Anchorage Sun
day from the Ophir district and are
stopping at the White House while in
the city preparatory to their trip to
the great outside, where they will
spend the winter, taking in the sights
as a just recompense for the hard
summer’s work on Yankee creek. The
boys made the trip in 11 days from
Takotna to Knik, where they left their
outfit with Alex Frazier until next
spring, when they expect to return for
further development of their placer
claims on Yankee. They report the
trail in fair condition with splendid
road house accommodations the entire
distance. In speaking of the Ophir
country, Olson, especially was enthus
iastic over the future prospects of the
district and says that four outfits were
working on Yankee creek this season
with good results. They also reported
that there were several outfits work
ing on Boob creek, in the Tolstoi dis
trict this winter and that it was the
common opinion of that section that
’he Tolstoi would yet make good and
| eventually develop into a good camp.

(Jet in with the crowd—and have a good time. We will
supply you with masks, dominos, theatrical make-up, etc.
At last navigation is closed; the last boat is gone—and we
are not a bit sorry. After all Alaska is at its best in the winter.
All of our holiday stock is in and we can say with pride that
there is no city in Alaska that has anywhere near the stock we
carry either in quality or quantity. Ever since we came here
our intention was to have a drug store Anchorage can he proud
of. We are still trying.
Of course you are going to send out Xmas cards. We can
show you all kinds of latest cards and booklets. An engraved
card with an appropriate inscription on it is the popular thing
among people of refinement and culture.
There is nothing like a live growing plant to make your
home more cheerful and bright. We received on the last boat
some ferns and palms. You will appreciate having one.
Parisian Ivory is very popular this year. It makes a
suitable gift on all occasions—and you do not need to buy a
whole set at one time.
To the lover of good chocolate we point to Augustine &
Kyer Olympian Victoria chocolates, a large box for $1.50. They
have no equal. They just melt in your mouth.
When you hear the names of Eastman, Victor, Libbey,
waterman or Squibb—they mean to you exactly what they.rep
resent—a camera, a phonograph, cut glass, a fountain pen and
drugs—and it is because they are standard—the best in their
line. We deal in standard products only.

IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac
tive. If you plan to repaper you
should by all means see these new
papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.
