SOME WORK FOR US TO DO.
A wire from Representative Tom C. Price, received by Mr.
F. A. Martin, requests detailed information concerning roads
and trails that are urgently needed as feeders to the govern
ment railway project in the Cook inlet country. Also, what
road improvements are needed to make the Willow creek gold
mines accessible at all times in the year. Our representative
urges that petitions praying for such roads and trails as may
be necessary at this time be forwarded to him without delay.
He likewise requests information as to the probable cost of the
roads and trails in question. Now, here is some constructive
work for us to do. As The Times has repeatedly pointed out,
good wagon roads are urgently needed in the Matanuska val
ley section; adequate repairs should be made to the road lead
ing to the Willow creek gold mines, and a wagon road is need
ed leading from the railway line to the Cache creek country.
The wire from our working representative implies that some
territorial funds will be appropriated in the building of roads
and trails in Alaska and .ltf^yrn'ld be supplied with the infor
mation he desires so tta(£ %an more efficiently urge the
claims of the Cook inlet^coffffi^f and get a goodly portion of
the funds expended in uies^ parts. This is the one part of
Alaska, not located in an extremely remote portion of the big
territory that has been sadly neglected in the matter of roads
and trails. *
FACING SEASON OF PROSPERITY.
It is the generally accepted belief in Anchorage, that the
town is facing the most prosperous season in its brief history.
We have no reason at all to complain of business conditions
of the past 4wo seasons, but we are an ambitious people and we
want things to move right along, each year better than the one
it succeeds. New people are already coming among us. seek
ing an opening, or employment, as the case may be. There are
plenty of opportunities hereabouts for the employment of
funds in legitimate development schemes, .lust the other day,
the train from the Turnagain district brought a hundred pas
sengers, most of them coming over the trail to that point from
Seward. And there is adequate reason for the optimistic feel
ing that pervades the air in Anchorage. ’Money is being dis
bursed around here, and it takes money to make prosperity, i
We copy the following statement of fact from the Alaska Rail
road Record, of which it may be said, “If you see it in the Rec
ord, it is so.” The statement is brief, but it speaks volumes:
“March 10 was the record day for disbursements in the
history of the Anchorage disbursing office. The total paid
out was $54,541.15.”
The territorial senate should work overtime, to make up
for time lost in organizing. Rut it won’t do it. The victors
probably feel that they have done enough already, providing
jobs for henchmen. One of the ancients exclaimed, with mis
givings, “ (’an any good come out of Israel?” Meaning that
lie doubted the sincerity of the ruling classes of those days.
The people of Alaska may well ask the same thing about the
Alaska senate, composed ,as it is of men who will waste 10
days of a (50-day session in perfecting a permanent organiza
tion.
