ADVERTISING
THE COUNTRY
The commercial printing depart
ment of The Times has completed the
printing of thousands of copies of a
circular letter, issued by the enter
prising Bank of Anchorage, that
deals with the resources of the Cook
Snlet country, and that will be em
ployed for outside circulation. The
subject matter is reliable and inform
ing and is well worth reproduction in
these columns:
The term, Last Frontier, would ap
pear to be a misnomer as applied to
that section of Alaska tributary to
the Government railroad in its 500
mile course from Seward to Fair
banks, and more particularly to that
portion lying adjacent to Anchorage
and the rich coal fields of Matanuska
which the road is designed to open.
Mining.
To speak first of the mining indus
try of this district would seem fitting,
inasmuch as Alaska made her bow to
the public hard upon the discovery of
gold in the Territory: The Willow
creek district, contiguous to the rail
road, reached the half million mark in
its output for 1916; there are four
mills in operation in this district,
with three more to be installed this
season. Hundreds of acres in this
section, as rich as any that are pro
ducing mines, are as yet unprospect
ed, owing to the difficulties of trans
portation, which will be overcome
with the gradual extension of the rail
road to tap the northern reaches of
the district. It is inevitable that gold
camps fully as rich as those of the
early days of the territory will spring
up from time to time as development
makes the prospecting of the country
possible.
Agriculture.
Perhaps the astonishing growth of I
the agricultural industry is best epi- j
tomized in the statement that the j
Northern Pacific railroad has declared ,
the Alaska potato, as grown in the i
Matanuska valley, worthy to appear i
on its tables as its nation-wide cele- j
brated “Great Big Baked Potato.” Ev
ery variety of vegetable is grown in
this section in quantity and of a qual
ity unsurpassed. A not uncommon
yield of potatoes, according to the
government report, is 200 bushels to
the acre, without fertilization. In
this farming belt—practically virgin
until within the last three years—
there are now over 400 homesteaders,
forming several attractive little farm
ing communities, with thousands of
acres still open to filing, each home
stead consisting of 320 acres. Dairy
ing will be a factor to be taken into
consideration with the growth of the
population, as a consequence of the
opening of the coal fields. The best
quality of red top hay grass grows
abundantly in this section, and the ex
portation of such dairy products as
butter and cheese will without doubt
form an important item.
Fishing.
Another important asset: Six can
neries operating in the Cook inlet
country export hundreds of thousands
of cases of fish annually.
The City of Anchorage.
Anchorage, the two-year-old gov
ernment town, the metropolis of the
Cook inlet country, headquarters of
the government railroad commission,
has a population at this time of over
6,000, making the largest town in
Alaska; three churches, modern elec
tric light plant, water works and tel
ephone system, two theatres, one dai
ly paper, two first-class hotels, many
handsome residences and apartments
with every modern convenience.
The Bank of Anchorage, established
May 20,1916, showed a total of depos
its on March 19,1917, ten months from
the day it opened for business, of
$502,488.98, a definite index to the
progressiveness, and actual as well as
potential wealth of the district and
its bountiful promise for the future,

“SELDOVIA NAMEOFF”
LANDS AT ORPHANAGE
In the Kodiak Baptist Orphanage
News Letter, appears the following
well-told story of little “Seldovia
Nameoff,” now an inmate of the insti
tution on Wood island near Kodiak:
When the steamer Admiral Evans
arrived in September we were inform
ed that there was a child on board for
the orphanage. It proved to be a lit
tle girl about four years old. She
was in the care of the stewardess.
And the following is all that could be
learned about the child:
Just as the boat was leaving the
dock at Seldovia a man rushed up
with the child in his arms and handed
her over the rail to one of the passen
gers, saying, “she is an orphan for
the mission at Wood island.” With
the child he handed $10 to pay her
passage. The man who received her
happened to be U. S. Deputy Marshal
Brenneman. He turned the little one
over to the stewardess, who, with
the assistance of one of the lady pas
sengers, cared for her till the steam
er arrived at Kodiak, when she was
handed over to Superintendent Learn.
It was expected, of course, that
there would be a letter concerning her,
but in this we were disappainted. Al
though the child can talk, no question
ing, no matter how skillful, has been
successful in getting her to tell her
name.
rot' six weeKs or more we called her
‘ baby,” but as she is older and larg
er than Katherine, whom she calls
“That One” it seemed so inappropri
ate to call her baby that we named
her Seldovia Nameoff, which sounds
sufficiently native to go with her lit
tle round, brown face.
When told her new name she was
very proud and happy. She would go
to the other girls and in her sweet
little voice say: “Seldovia Nameo'Y
me,” pointing to herself.
She is a plump little lass with black
hair, dark skin and dark brown and
rather small eyes.
Since her first day at the Orphan
age when she asked a few times
“where mama?” there has been no
question or any reference in her chat
ter to her past life. It seems as much
of a blank to her as it is to us. She
is very happy and contented in her
new home. And is daily adding weight
to her already heavy little body.
Perhaps some day we will learn
something of her history before she
came to the orphanage.

The grand igloo of the Order, of
Pioneers of Alaska, which meets in
Juneau March 29 will be called upon
to decide whether membership in the
order shall remain restricted to those
who came north prior to January 1,
1901, or whether all who have lived in
Alaska for 15 years can become mem
bers. The proposal to open the doors
of the order to pioneers of more re
cent vintage will be laid before the
grand igloo by Luther C. Hess, An
drew Nerland and O. P. Gaustad, del
egates from the Fairbanks Igloo, who
are now in Juneau.
At a recent meeting in Fairbanks
this matter was brought before the
pioneers, in the shape of a proposal
that the grand Igloo be asked to
amend the constitution so as to pro
vide that men who have been in Alas
ka 15 years are eligible for member
! ship, or shall attain eligibility after
! they have resided in the territory for
| that length of time. The constitution
at present says that no one is eligiole
to membership in the order who did
not arrive in Alaska prior to January
1, 1901. The supporters of the prop
osition, in putting it before the Igloo,
pointed out the fact that such an
| amendment would keep the order well
I supplied with new members at ail
1 times. It is understood that they
took the idea from the Fairbanks Ig
loo of Pioneer Women, who incorpor
ated the 15-year residence clause in
i their constitution, which was approv
| ed by the Grand Igloo of Pioneers
j last year, when the Igloo became the
I auxiliary of the Fairbanks Pioneer
| Igloo.
Many other legislators are dele
j gates to the grand igloo meeting,
i The grand president is Cecil H. Clegg,
i of Fairbanks, but will be called to
| order by the vice-president, because
! it is not expected that Mr. Clegg will
i be able to come to Juneau for the
I convention.
