WM. MAITLAND RETURNS
FROM SEATTLE OPTIMISTIC
OVER FUTURE OF ANCHORAGE
Wm. Maitland returned on the Ad
miral Evans from a trip to Seattle,
Port Angeles and lumber markets
where he has been for the past three
months buying stock for the local firm
of McNally & Maitland. Mr. Maitland
reports business in every line in a
very prosperous condition and much
demand for labor. He says that the
war spiri* is prevalent and contagious
and that the people as a whole are be
hind the administration, especially the
large business concerns and financial
institutions, who have come to the
front in support of the national issue.
Mr. Maitland is of the opinion that a
declaration of war will improve rather
than retard the government work and
as usual is optimistic over the pros
pects of Anchorage and vicinity. He
informs The Times that the new gov
ernment wage schedule will be con
ducive to bring the wage earner and
the artisu.. to Anchorage and that the
trend of tourist travel is rapidly turn
ing towards Alaska, with Anchorage
the objective point.
Mr. Maitland was on shore at Ju- j
neau for a few hours and says that ,
Cannon and Price, Anchorage’s contin-:
gent to the legislature, are extremely 1
popular in the capital city and that
they are doing great work for their
constituents, particularly in regard to
"good roads” for this section.
Mr. Maitland emphasises the advis
ability of tendering the territorial so
lons an invitation to visit Anchorage
and says th.v Anchorage is the talk of
the coast ci He reports that the
Alaska hu’ u of the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce is making great prepar
ations for the Alaska visit in com
memoration of the semi-centennial oc
casion and that the people of Anchor
age, through the Chamber of Com
merce, should commence at once to
prepare for the visitors, who are due
here in July.
Mr. Maitl^id purchased a large
stock of lumber, sash and doors and
building material that will be shipped
to Anchorage on the regular liners.
He also purchased a Iluick roadster
that will be used in connection with
the firm’s business.

work over to the manager and a force
of men will leave Anchorage next

tive spring work.
Wm. Martin will arrive from Seat

wired W. W. Meson to take charge of
the mills of the Martin mine. Mr.
Beson is one of the most experienced
mill men in Alaska and has been con
nected with the Martin mines for sev
eral years. He started a force of me
chanics. mill men and carpenters to
the Willow creek district yesterday
with instructions to get everything in
readiness for the season’s run.
A large amount of tunnel work and
drifting has been done this winter at
all of the mines and hundreds of tons
of ore blocked out ready for the mill
wheels to turn. Several new compan
ies will start operating as soon as the
machinery is installed and the hills
will be dotted with prospector?-.

for the famous Willow creek district.
