ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, FRIDAY. APRIL (i. 1017.
WE WILL BE THERE.
Anchorage will bo there in the matter of raising volunteer t
militia companies for the defense of the nation. \\ ith the pro
gressiveness that always characterizes the people ot this town,
plans were set in motion last night, and within the course of
a few days, it is probable that a public meeting jvill be called
for the purpose of formally accepting names for enlistment.,
Anchorage should have at least two, and possibly three com
panies of volunteer troops. \\ e observe that Juneau and h ail
banks have jumped to the front and are industriously engaged i
in forming militia companies. #
It is fitting that the veterans of the Spanish American war
should take the initiative in the organization oi local forces.
These veterans have had experience on the tiring line and know
Imw to go about the organization of military forces. I his town
is fortunate in having several men of especial fitness to take
the lead. There is Col. Sapp, an officer of -0 years’ experience
in militia companies and a veteran of the Spanish Ameiican
war. Col. Sapp is now a member of a Washington regiment,
and is subject to call at a moment’s notice, but until he is sum
money by his own regiment, he called at 'The 'I hues office to say
he would be only too glad to lend his assistance toward the or
ganization of local companies.
Anchorage believes in standing by the president. It will
be there in the matter of volunteers.
THEY DO BUSINESS HERE.
Several commercial travelers arrived in Anchorage on the
steamer Admiral Kvans, figuring before they came, that they
could “do” this town in a few hours, and return on the same ^
vessel on which they came. But they found it impossible to
• to so for the mighty good and sufficient reason that this is
no little hamlet that can be canvassed within a brief time.
This is a city, and the commercial men are doing a thriving;
business in gaining orders here, and as long as they can write,
orders, tliev will probably remain. These commercial travel
ers, an intelligent, wideawake class, are going to do >ome
mightv lino boosting for this community. It is <piite natural'
that they should do so. Anchorage is one of their very best
markets in Alaska. They sell goods here.
About the best index of business conditions in a given eom
munitv is repealed by the volume of business done by the com
mercial travelers. Large orders taken by them, means prosper
ous times in a given community. \\ e beliewe we are well within
tin* facts when we assert that, with the possible exception ot Ju
neau. the traveling men find Anchorage the best town in Alas
ka. The winter business done by all ot our 101*511 merchants was
highlv encouraging. We believe all oi them made monex. \\ e
don’t well see how they could have avoided doing so. The
people were here and had to eat and clothe themselves. Again,
our people have money. Then1 is no reason why they should
not have funds. There was work la>t season for all willing
and able to work, and good wages prevailed in all lines ot en
deavor. The coming season will be even more propitious, due
alike to the increase in the wage scale on the railway project,
the opening of coal mines in the Matanuska fields and the de
velopment of mining properties in the W illow creek camp and
other districts. More men than ever will find employment in
the Cook inlet region.
Hundreds of skilled mechanics and laborers, attracted by
the big wage scale adopted by the commission, will join us this
vear. Let them come; there will be plenty of work, and at a
good wage.
GOOD FRIDAY.
This is 1 iood Friday. As nearly as any similar date can
l»e figured, Jesus was crucified nineteen hundred lacking I-1
years, ago. In the older countries much is made of this day
and it is observed as but few days of tin* calendar are observed.
In this country, we do not make so much of the day, but with
the people of the older world we agree that there never has
been another liffe quite so worthy of men’s praise as the life of
this Prophet of Vialilee. His teachings, without regard to any
religious leaning, have produced a larger result in men’s think
ing, his philosophy of life, if accepted and followed, is product-;
ive of finer characters than any produced by any other teacher.;
Moreover, he lived and died in absolute loyalty to his convic
tions. Whatever we may think of some who call themselves by
his name, this fact remains, as all even who disagree with the j
teachings of the church assert, that “Jesus is the mightiest
among the holy, the holiest among the mighty. ”
Kenan, who certainly was no churchman, declared this man
to be “The incomparable man to whom the universal
conscience has decreed tin* title of Non of God, and that with
justice.”
Tom Paine ig his Age of Reason, writes, “The morality
that he preached; and practiced was of the most benevolent
kind. It has neve*' been excelled.” •
Robert Ingersoll wrote*, “I believe Christ was the perfect
man. ‘Do unto ofliers’ is the perfection of religion and moral-j
itv. It is the smnjnum bonnm.”
For*this reason, the services tonight at the Presbyterian
church should prove* acceptable* to all those that can attend.
On January 1. 1017, there was some 60,000 applications for
work on file in the office1 of the Alaskan Engineering commis
sion, and applications are coming in at the rate of 100 each
week. When tin* new ineMvased wage scale becomes known I
