ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1917.
WE SHOULD GET BUSY.
On March 2, 1917, Corigress passed a law authorizing tlie
Alaskadegislature to establish ajjd maintain schools in the ter
ritory of Alaska. Tt reads, in part, as follows:
“That the legislature of Alaska is hereby em
powered to establish and maintain schools for white
and colored children, and children of mixed blood,
who lead a civilized life in said territory, and to make
appropriations of territorial funds for that purpose,
and all laws or parts of laws in conflict with this act
are to that extent repealed.”
The Alaska legislature, therefore, now has full power and
authority to legislate with reference to all schools, mentioned
in the act, in the territory of Alaska, which will include An
chorage schools.
It is, therefore, important that the people of Anchorage
urge upon the Alaska legislature to pass a proper law tor the
maintenance of schools here, and it is urgently suggested that
petitions or memorials be prepared by various organizations in
Anchorage and forwarded to the legislature praying tor the
enactment of such a law.
The local school board has already taken action in the
matter, but the efforts of the board should be augmented by pe
titions and memorials from other sources. We have no time
to waste in this important matter. We should get busy at
once.
PRICES ARE SOARING.
Food prices are soaring. There can be no doubt whatever
about this fact. The same may be said of about every other
essential need of the human family. Here is a little telegram
that we clipped from an exchange concerning a substantial
food product which should be on every man’s table:
YAKIMA, Feb. 26.—Potatoes were quoted at $100 a ton
. F. O. B. here today.”
With such a fancy price prevailing, the potato, the poor
man’s food, passes from the realm of a substantial food prod
uct heretofore within the" reach of- the poorest, to that of a
luxury which only the wealthy may enjoy. Now it is a cinch
that some fellows are making a barrel of money out of this ex
orbitant increase in the price of potatoes, as well as other prime j
needs of the people. Well, we should worry about potatoes!!
The Cook inlet country will supply our needs in this direction.
Everybody expects the season of 1917 to be the busiest one
the Cook inlet country has ever experienced, but it will not (
be too busy to prevent us from indulging in some wholesome
athletic sports. The Cook Inlet baseball league, a newly organ- j
ized association, proposes to take the initiative in the national
game. Five contesting teams will try for the pennant, and it
goes without saying that the rivalry will be keen and exciting, i
Real estate brokers inform us that the realty market grows
better daily. Quite a number of local deals have been pulled
off in the past week and more are on the tapis. When the big
boats begin to arrive, bringing new investors, there will be
quite a boom in real estate in Anchorage—at least, the indica
tions point that way.
tf value may be reckoned on the basis of cost, the organiza
tion of the territorial senate should be a peacherino.
