It is passing strange that some peo
ple do not eventually realize their lim
itations and after the spurious vent of
j spleen and bile do not come out of it
> and acknowledge the corn.
There seems to be a well concent rut
I ed action of the coast towns to con
i tinually hammer Anchorage, the me
| tropolis. Never do they allow an op
j portunity to pass and frequently draw
| upon their imagination and falsify
; their statements.
Like the drowning man and the
straw, they grasp at anything. Oh.
I<ord, anything, however frail or un
substantial. For instance, it was com
| mon rumor, outside of Anchorage,
that the merchants were out of coal oil
i and the city read and transacted busi
ness by candle light, but the rays of
the bright light from the government
electric plant finally reached them and
i they subsided.
The cry of no public schools facili
ties was hushed by the completion of
the magnificent $15,000 school build
ing and the perfectly solvent Alaskan
Kngineering Commission signing the
salary checks.
“Shortage of food stuffs in Anchor
age" was sent out from several sourc
es when as a matter of fact the An
i chorage merchants have supplied
many of the outlying camps and neigh
boring towns this winter without det
riment to the local demand; the pros
perous farmers of the Matanuska and
j Chickaloon velleys, tributary to An
chorage, rushed thousands of tons of
potatoes, carrots, turnips and other
vegetables to supply the shortage of
' other towns. A grievous error in
judgment was made when it was re
ported that there were no available
residences for rent in Anchorage. In
a measure this was true for hundreds
of mine operators and prospectors
wintered in Anchorage as well as oth
er people of leisure who selected this
city for their winter home. Residences!
were scarce all winter Inm tin. should
not be considered a drawback but on
the contrary should be in Anchorage's
favor.
The contract has been let for a
$15,000 modern apartment house; the
contractors report many residences
' under construction at the present time
and many more contemplated; several
1 new store buildings are under course
of construction and at least six more
are under contract in addition to two
cold storage plants and numerous min
or buildings. Really the only com
modity that Anchorage ran short of
during the winter was lumber and
building material. The winter popula
tion, thoroughly canvassed, numbered
i over 5,000 people, who spent a pleas
ant and prosperous winter. Winter
! work has been successfully carried on
in all branches of the Alaskan Engin
eering Commission and adequate pre
parations have been made to handle
the increased volume of business and
construction work for the ensuing
year, with Anchorage the base of sup
plies and operations.
The question of fuel has been set
tled for all time to come and the great
coal fields of Chickaloon have been
worked all winter and sent thousands
of tons of coal into Anchorage.
Rumors have been rife and unfound
ed; nothing has been left undone by
the neighboring towns to knock An
chorage. Their sound minded citizens
are leaving the ghost hamlets for An
chorage and the exodus hurts as does
the continued advancement of this
city, founded on rock, to the ultimate

end of being: the metropolis of Alaska.
Recent developments by the govern
ment has sounded the death knell to
the common cry of "no harbor at An
chorage.”
That the government will fulfill its
promise and build the harbor is set
tled and the knowledge of the fact is
back.”
The cry of the knocker is gradually
dying out in a plaintive plea for for
giveness and the supplication has gone
up to the throne of the charitable and
generous and prosperous people of
Anchorage, who know the whole card
and can well say: “Forgive them Un
cle Sam. for they have seen the hand
writing on the wall, that reads, ‘Har
bor and dock facilities for Anchor
age.’ ”
ENOCH ARDEN TALE
IN MODERN LIFE
ST. LOUIS, Mo., March 1.—Separ
ated eight years ago in a shipwreck,
Herman Jacobs, his wife and his child
were reunited in the L^nion station to
day under circumstances surpassing
fiction. The strange story of their re
conciliation carried a touch of the tale
of “Enoch Arden.”
The Jacobs were married in Ger
many ten years ago. They started
for America when their baby was a
year old. Their ship was wrecked.
The wife and babe went away in one
lifeboat and Jacobs in another. They
never met again and each thought the
other lost. Entering the Union sta
tion today Jacobs saw a little girl
standing near the candy stand, gazing
wistfully at the array of sweets. He
bought her a sack of candy and was
patting her head when a woman rush
ed up.
“Herman!” she shouted, and threw
herself into his arms.
In tears the missing wife told Ja
cobs that she had married a man
rained O’Connor in Mattoon, 111., sev
r ral years ago. No children have
been born to this marriage and she
promised to have it annulled. Jacobs
was en route to New York from Los
Angeles.

COAL BIN.
The furnace tolls the knell of falling
steam,
The coal supply is virtually done,
And at this price, indeed, it does not
seem
As though we could afford another
ton.
Now fades the glossy, cherished an
thracite;
The radiators lose their tempera
ture;
Mow ill avail, on such a frosty night,
The ‘short and simple flannels of
the poor.”
Though in the ice box, fresh and new
ly laid,
The rude forefathers of the omelet
sleep.
No eggs for breakfast till the hill is
paid;
We cannot cook again till coal is
cheap.
Can Morris chair or papier mache bust
Revivify the falling pressure gage?
Chop up the grand piano if you must,
And burn the East Aurora parrot
cage!
Full many a can of purest kerosene
The dark unfathomed tanks of
Standard Oil
Shall furnish me, and with their aid I
mean
To bring my morning coffee to a
boil.

VIENNA, March 13.—(via London)
—Herr Fokker, the builder of one of
the most successful military Hying
machines used in the German and
...
Austrian armies, predicts an era of
aerial passenger traffic after the
war. Speed, he says, is bound to
make aircraft a popular vehicle of
travel, but only for great distances, |
for which reason the inventor predicts j
the successful operation of aircraft\
on routes between Europe and the j
United States which will run in com-1
j petition with transatlantic liners,
i Herr Fokker believes the first at
tempt to fly from Europe to New*
, York will be made immediately after
the war, and asserts the route can be
traveled in two days at the outside.
He is of the opinion that all techni
cal handicaps will be easily overcome.
Herr Fokker was a Dutch pilot
who built a big monoplane without
the warping wing device. The ma
chine was difficult to handle and Fok
ker was ordered by the Dutch mili
tary authorities to abandon his model.
He then offered it to the British fly
ing services, but it was refused, on
the ground that it was not practical.
Fokker later carried out successful
loping flights on a monoplane with a
modified chassis. During the war he
developed this later type and sup
plied large numbers of the mono
planes and of biplanes with similar
bodies to the Prussian, Bavarian and
Austrian armies. Last year Fokker,
while at his factory and airdome at
Schwerin, was visited by the Grand
Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, who
presented to the inventor the war
cross.
