ANCHORAGE. ALASKA. WEDNESDAY. APRIL 4. 1!*17.
LET THE PEOPLE COME.
The win" today inform us that hundreds and perhaps
thousands of people will couie to the Cook inlet country 'this
reason, drawn hither by the new wage scale adopted by the
Alaskan Kngineering commission. The wage scale, complete,
has been published throughout the country, because of its news
importance. It comprehends the highest rate of wages that
|.as ever been paid on either government or private work, of
great magnitude, such as the Alaska railway project. Anchor
age is coming in for some mighty tine advertising as a result.
Let the people come! That’s what the country needs-—
more people. AH newcomers may not be able to find work on
the railwav project, but there will lie private enter]irises that
will employ, in the aggregate, hundreds of men. And there are
opportunities in other directions. There i- more land to be
taken, and it ha- been demonstrated that an industrious per
son can make a mighty fine living by raising herb and root
ero] i».
So far as The Times has been able to ascertain, the new
wage scale meets with general approval in this section. Ot
course, there are those who would not be content, and would
■-till agitate, it' the scale were double that adopted by the engi
neering commission.
'The Times believes in good wages, W e did our part in
gaining ail increase last year. But we are trank to say that
we believe that, in the main, the wage scale adopted by the
engineering commission, of its own volition. Is just to the men
and reflects credit upon those responsible for its inauguration.
The big eastern papers have led us to believe that Secre
tary of the Xavy Daniels is about the weakest man in Presi
dent Wilson’s official family. Admiral Dewey, before his re
cent death, took occasion to say that he had served in the I nit
ed States navy for a continuous period of <>** years; that he had
served under some 'JO or more secretaries of the navy during
this time, and that he considered Secretary Daniels by Jar the
ablest of anv of his predecessors. The great admiral said Dan
id’s grasp of the technical side of the navy was little less than
marvelous, for a man who had had no special training. These
big publications are inclined to believe, or assume to believe,
that just because a man comes from the country, rather than a
metropolis, he doesn’t amount to much. Our city brothers
have no lack of conceit. They display upon occasion a remark
able lack of discernment.
We find ourselves in complete harmony with Senator Bo
nan. who insists that roads and trails and common schools
should have the first consideration at the hands of the Alaska
legislature, in the matter of appropriating territorial funds.
Sutherland and (iaustnd appear bent on establishing an agri
cultural college at Fairbanks, and pushing a bill for the pur
pose through tin* legislature, before other parts of the territory
have lieeii heard from. 'The hill should he defeated. The agri
cultural college may he a good thing—in time. But first, let
us have good common schools and more roads and trails.
Then will lie time enough to talk of colleges. And when an
agricultural college is to he established, we wish to present the
claims of the fertile Matannska valley, the garden spot of
Alaska.
