ANCHORAGE, ALASKA.
WEDNESDAY. APRIL 11.

THE PEOPLE ARE COMING.
(iii tin* steamers and over the trail the people are pouring
into Anehorage. tin* metropolis of Alaska. Our streets present
a busy seen**. Activity is apparent in all directions. Things
are coming our way and it is up to us to take advantage ot the j
situation. The publication of the increased wage scale adopted :
bv the Alaskan Kngineering Commission is attracting skilled j
mechanics in tin* trades, a* well as the common laborer. All
that is lacking to make things boom aroiyid here, is the infor
mation that the greater part of the railway appropriation.:
amounting to over seven million dollars, and which is in the
simdrv civil hill, has been passed by the congress. There is no
doubt whatever of the passage of the item, but at that we want
the reclit> rather than the hope. The bill has passed, under a
suspension of the rules, the lower house of,congress, and is up
tn the senate T)** upper house moves more sIowl\. but none
the i* ss Mm-ly. in such matters.
It is learned that the Alaska 1-abor Cnion is timing a ref
erendum vote ou the wage scale adopted by the commission. ^
So for as The Times has been able to oseertain. there is very 1
little opposition to it' adoption by the big force employed by
the commission. There has been an increase of "Jo cents the day
in the mess houses conducted by the commission, but the in
crease in the scale more than offsets this food cost.
When tlui railway funds an* allowed by the congress, ami
they should Sr forthcoming within a week or less, it is possi
ble that work will begun on the harbor improvements at An-,
ehorage. While not coining from an official source, it comes to
'The Times from mighty good authority that the building of a
harbor at this point will not In* nearly the difficult task the
most of had supposed it would prove.. Indeed, our informant1
says that the*ex}>ert harbor man who is on the job has evolved:;
a plan that will give Anchorage the best harbor in Alaska, and ‘
that the cost of construction will not be as great as was antici
pated. Certain it is. that he man who is in immediae charge ;
of thi*- work has been devoting his best energies to the propo
tion and th.^ there will be no reason t" complain of the fruits
rf his endeavor.
The master of one of the big boats recently arming in
forme 1 The Time s that he saw no difficulty whatever fur a
large vessel in navigating the inlet waters the year around.
Wi' observe a desirable innovation in the matter of after
noon parties in which the women folk' alone are permitted to
participate. The new custom—the one we hope for the benefit
of suffering man will 1h- followed b> other hostesses—is to
serve luncheon immediately upon the arrival of guests rather
than just previous to the hour of departure. The dear ladies,
coming from a dainty luncheon served at 4 o’clock in the af
ternoon. naturally have no very great api*etite for the regular
home dinner hour, and poor man i' made the victim.
I pon the arrival of another telegraph operator, the local
telegraph office will remain open day and night. The day-and
night service is rendered necessary because of the fast-growing
business, incident to the developments in the Cook inlet coun
try. The officials in charge arc desirous of keeping abreast of
tlie times; hence the increased -erviee promised.
An amateur company from Seward is coming to Anchor
age to give a show or entertainment, on a date yet to l*e an
nounced. We -mould give the visitors a rousing reception. The
Times is informed that the show will l>e especially clever and
well worth attending.
UR. CHASE ELECTED
MAYOR OF CORDOVA
(Cordova Times.)
The municipal election passed off
quietly yesterday. In fact, there were
no contests for any of the offices to
be tilled, and the peoplpe’s ticket
polled the full vote, which was an un
usually light one, as no interest was
taken in the election.
Dr. W. H. Chase polled the high vote
and will be Cordova’s next mayor.
Joseph Stanton was second on the list
and Dr. Council third, there being a
difference of only four votes between
each of these candidates. Then came
H. I. O’Neill, Bartley Howard, W. L.
Smith and R. E. Capers. The city
council will meet next Monday night
and canvas the returns, after which
certificates of election will be issue I.
The new body can then organize foi
the ensuing year.
There was but one candidate foi
treasurer of the school board. Thomas
S. Scott, and he received all of the
votes east, excepting two, which weie
given complimentary to a party not
running.

Vol. 1. No. 227. ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, 4th and D
A bookkeeper of my acquaintance'
after using a Waterman Ideal Foun
tain Pen told me that never again
will be go back to any ordinary pen.
“Why, it is wonderful how much time
it saves.” Waterman’s Ideal Fountain
Pens are made in many styles and
forms. A point for everybody, is what
they are trying to make. A guaran
tee goes with every pen. Prices are I
from $2.50 to $35.00. We also have
new points.
We have received a complete line'
tof Cut Glass Ware in Wine, Liquor
and Water Sets. Having bought all of
Sellers’ stock, we have secured good
values at a bargain.
We saw advertised in the magazines
two new designs in Rogers 184" Ware,
the Athena and Heraldic. You would
like both of them on your table. We
will be very pleased to show them to
you.
Also Universal Coffee Percolators in
new designs, from $7.50 to $10.00 each.
A Box of Candy is always appreci
ated. but it has to be a Good Bov of
I’andv. Augustine & Kyer’s Famous
Chocolates, fresh from the factory to
you.
We would like to impress upon our
friends on the different points on the
railroad, that our sendee is at their
disposal at all times. That no matter
how little their needs may be, we will
be glad to send it out to them.
And following our policy of carry
ing only the very best, we have added
the well known “Krause” Chocolate to
our stock.
It seems that everybody has the
grip, ourselves included. A box of our
Cold Tablets does wonders, and if you
cough—better be careful and try some
of our l’ectoral Cough S>rup. It will
do the work.
Within the next few days we will
have three more boats enter the An
chorage Harbor, and each l»oat is
bringing us new stock.
We have already received a small
shipment of records and Victrolas, all
kinds of records, Swedish, French,
Creek. Norwegian, latest popular hits
like “The Poor Butterfly.” “The Cen
tury '-irl/'etc. Our April records will
be here soon.
