THE ALASKAN MOVES
After a continuous occupancy of present quarters for over fifteen years
the Skagway Daily Alaskan is today starting to move to a new home on
fifth avenue, between Broadway and State street
Some time since the publisher of the Daily Alaskan purchased the
building formerly occupied by the United States signal service, and ha?
been having necessary alteration:- made for puttinc the building into first
class condition for a print shop.
The acquisition of the new model I. linotype machine has greatly im
proved the appearance of the paper and mad<- possible an increase in the
amount of live material in each issue The recent purchase of the new
est styles of Job printing type will give to our patrons the assurance of
getting the best of first class printing jobs done in your home town We
are prepared to do all kinds of job work ;i! reasonable rates ai.d with
perfect satisfaction.
The Alaskan has been happy in its old home and looks forward with
pleasure to a continuance of the ltb< ral patronage and support given it
by loyal citizens and business men of Skagway and surrounding towns.
We shall endeavor to furnish the news, both cable and local, without
personality or private views, as has been done for many years. Few real
ize how much it requires to maintain a paper of the character the Alas
kan gets out in a town of this size: but we have had that personal inter
est in the town and reluctancy to close down the paper, even when it
meant hard pnllisg to maintain it. we have held on. knowing that a town
without a paper is a poor town to live i^ in this northland. where com
munication in the winter is somewhat limited. ■>»
There is probably not a town in the United States—and certainly in
no other country—the size of Skag»..i. which maintains a triweekly pa
l>t»r with as excellent cable and local news as our own. Were it to cease,
the people of this town would realize more than they can now appreciate.
Itow much it means to have it going Wt believe we have, considering
Its size, one of the best, if not THE l>»t town :n this northland. Wl>
also believe this town can be made even bcter than it now is. and to this
end we pledge our paper and a>k for the hearty cooperation of every cit
izen of Skagway.
After we are settled in our new quarters we extend a most cordial in
vitation to all to pay the Alaskan a visit and to look over the plant.
Mil. BORAHS \M i:\niM. STA1I
Americans who are too busy to follow the career of the most inter
esting gentleman now in American public life are making a mistake. They
are probably going to have the privilege of voting for or against him as
a candidate for president some day. and the;, should take some interest,
therefore, in keeping themselves informed retarding him There is no
difficulty in doing this, for he is .1 crc.it advertiser His voice is heard
very often in the national legislative balls and his name is continually in
the newspapers. His name, of cottrs> is William K Borah.
Nothing :s really more astonishing, and yet nothing could be more
natural than the popularity which Mr. Borah now enjoys. He is winning
words of praise from one end of the country to the other and from peo
ple who ha\e seldom praised him before Ho winning these words of
principally because of his stand on disarmament and the energy and elo
quence with which he champions that cause While many doubt the sin
cerity of the administration chiefs retarding the disarmament conference
which the President himself has called, one finds in scores of newspapers
eulogies of Borah inspired b> the burning sinceritj which Is almost uni
versally attributed to htm: and there is a widespread feeling that in
Borah lies the best hope of the conference's sue. ess because he can be
counted upon to expose the hypocrites and force the unwilling diplomats
who will sit around the conference table to carry out the people's will.
How much of all this praise Senator ltorah really deserves is another
question No man did more han he to prevent disarmament when he
helped to keep America out of the League of Nations; and that is the
ihapter of his career which cannot b« lu itl- forgotten. But the question
of the merits or demerits of Mr. Borah is too big a one for discussion
within brief compass, and we are not concerned with it here. The point
if. that as a national figure he is looming larger every day. becoming more
and more an outstanding factor in our national life, marching steadily
forward to a position of influence and of leadership which, in spite of
hostile Interests within his own party, is likely to make him a powerful
aspirant for the presidency of the I'nited States There is no other man

CIVIC lMPRO\ I Ml NTS
Reorganization of the Hyder Comme . i.il Association last Thursday
night was a step in the right direction. In the absence of a town council
or any other civic body to take the initiative in securing public improve
ment. the town could do nothii g but Hon >ler along like a ship trying to
find its way through unknown waters without a compass. C oncerted ac
tion Is needed to secure even the most fundamental necessities for a grow
ing town, and it is hoped that ever? member of the community will real
ize that it is to his own personal advantage to do what he can to advance
the general welfare, and will taice an active interest in the association
meetings.
We must crawl before we can walk, of course, and there is nothing
to be gained by being too ambitions on the start. In other words, we
don't want to bite off more than we can chew. But there are some things
that we must have and can get if we go after them. The most pressing
is fire protection and a good start has been made on that bj the purchase
of a large chemical engine. A plan is on fool for installing an electric
light system to light the thickly populated portion of the town, and this
will furnish another unit in the fire protection scheme.
Then there is the matter of securing a wharf. That a community as
Important as Hyder should have been so long without this vita! necessity,
is nothing less than a disgrace, and if a concerted effort had been made,
a wharf would have been built before this. Pan Sutherland. Alaska's
delegate to Congress, is in sympathy with Hyder's needs, and may be de
pended upon to exert a very strong and wry favorable influence in the
right quarters. But the first move must come from the people of Hyder,
and the Commercial Association the proper body to take the initiative.
