shows the slashing signs of the cen
sors’ scissors. The writer advises that
he has joined the army and tells of the
life on the battlefield but the part

with the maneuers of the army, were
cut out and the letter presented a ver

Russia is on the job.

POSSIBILITIES
ARE POTENTIAL
The possibilities of Anchorage are
great. Many of the resources of the
adjacent territory are lying dormant
only waiting necessary working capi
tal and the ambitious hand of the man
with initiative and nerve for develop
ment. The farming opportunities of
fered by the Matanuska valley have
been proven; past results and increas
ed operation have forever settled the
speculative stage of the Willow creek
quartz district and the same conditions
hold true of the placer camp of Cache
creek. The commercial value of Chick
aloon coal i£ a certainty and the fish
ing industry is on a solid basis. The
copper and gold lodes of the Broad
Pass and Talkeetna districts have been
opened to the extent thaat success is a
certainty and the location of smelters
at Anchorage is only a question of
time. From the standpoint of scenic
beauty and grandeur of the mountains
and country easily accessible from
Anchorage compares more than favor
ably with other and better advertised
sections of America. It further af
fords a veritable paradise for the
sportsman and with the opening of the
Mt. McKinley National park the pos
sibilities of tourist travel are truly
remarkable. When these things come
to pass, as they undoubtedly will, and
with the completion of the railroad
into the interior and work commenced
on the Kuskokwim branch, it is plaus
ible to believe that the government
will operate its own steamship lines
from the states to Anchorage in con
junction with the Great Alaska rail
road.
BUSINESS DIRECTORY
IS READY FOR PATRONS
The people of Anchorage are in
debted to J. S. H. Matthews for the
new Anchorage city directory that is
.now ready for distribution. The new
directory fills a long felt want in both
the commercial and private life and is
compact and accurate in every detail.
It contains the names of over 3000
persons, together with their address
and business. It carries a business in
dex and a full directory of the officials
connected with the Alaska Engineer
ing Commission, taking in the depart
ments from Washington to Fairbanks.
The directory contains an alphabetical
list of the business firms, private citi -
zens, public, civic and federal institu
tions, in additions to a miscellaneous
directory of government and city of
ficials, religious, educational and fra
ternal orders. The publisher makes a
preface statement in which he gives a
short resume of the city’s history and
advancement, also speaks of the fu
ture possibilities of Anchorage and
adjacent coantiy. The new directory
is the result of thorough research and
an exhaustive canvass. Mr. Matthews
has given the work great care and
close attention, even to the minutest
detail and the compilation is a credit
to his efforts.
Publications of this size require a
special order of paper and as the or
der was not anticipated The Times did
not have the required stock on hand
and such paper as was available had
to be used in the make-up. However
this does not detract from the accurate
facts, names and addresses contained
in the indispensible Anchorage City
Directory.
Casey, the real estate man, has a
novel sign in front of his office on
Fourth avenue that is attracting con
siderable attention. Casey has a
framed map of the city on display
with the different pieces of saleable
property marked with a tack to which
js tied a thread running to a placard
advising the cost and terms.
