LET US MINE
 OUR OWN COAL
THE CHITINA LEADER.

Realizing the many advantages possessed by Chitina to make 1t one of the leading and substantial camps of interior Alaska, and that others appreciate and are taking advantage of this fact, newspaper was the natural sequence, hence the existence of the Chitina Leader, which greets you today.
 The publishers have contemplated this move for several months past and its realization only awaited the completion of the Copper River X Northwestern railway to this place and the operation of through pas senger trains. This having been ac- senger trains. This having been ac- complished the influx of miners. pros pectors and investors to the two hun- dred miles of copper bearing coun- try that surrounds our new town, as we'll as the tributary placer and quartz mines, is not far distant, and the Leader is here to welcome these people to one of the greatest mineral bearing belts to be found in all of Alaska.
 The policy of the Leader will be along conservation lines, taking an optimistic view of the future of this section and having little or no pa tience with the pessimist. If We can't boost the country we certainly will not knock it. Our best efforts will at all times be directed towards the upbuilding of Chitina, believing that its resources will justify that end.
 The usual disappointments incl dent to the starting of new paper have been encountered and while We have no apology to offer for today s issue we hope to improve it from time to time and make the Leader a welcome visitor each week at every business house and cabin in the Cop per River valley. With your assist ance and cooperation the venture is bound to be a success and the news paper a power for good in the com munity.
The Chitina leader., 1910-09-24

If the report be true that the mail for Chitina is to come via Copper Center what farcial thing it will be and a monument should be erect ed to that Valdez postal inspector one Flames. With the best ballasted and equipped railroad to be found in any mans country, running direct from Cordova to Chitina, it is al- most inconceivable to imagine that prejudice or ignorance is allowed to run rampant to the extent of ped ding the government mail all over Alaska, when we could receive it from he coast in four hours. What a disgusting lot of idiocy all this rot is, anyhowi
The Chitina leader., 1910-09-24

If you are lucky enough to get in- vited out for dinner with several of the families who arrived in Chitina early this summer, and get taste of the delicious jam and jellies, made from the low and high bush huckle- berries, entrants and cranberries, which the energetic housewife has put up, you will not let another sea- son go by without gathering win ter supply of these wild berries, which can be had by the bushels, and which cannot be eQualed by any of the domestic fruits.

GOVERNOR CLARK VISITS CHIT.
 INA.

The first passengers to arrive in Chitina on a through train from Cordova over the recently laid track of the Copper River & Northwestern railway, was Gov. and Mrs. Walter E. Clark, who visited us on We'd nesday, and they expressed them selves as being delighted not only with the trip, but also the cordial reception accorded them by our res idents.
 Governor Clark was particularly desirous of taking a trip over the railroad and said that he would have always felt that his tour of Alaska was not complete if he had failed to extend his stay an extra day in order to take run out to Chitina. During his short stay here he demon strated that he is good mixer,' and the kind of an official who will always be popular among Alaskans He was glad to meet anu talk with oui PCOPhC anu 6othNAN No AANNAA ~AA formation on the trip that ought to be a valuable asset for any official of the government, and from person al observation can be in position to verify statements or reject them as the case may require, when ut tered by the more enthusiastic ol irresponsible. Many of the evi things that have been visited upoI Alaska has been the result of thu over-enthusiasm of some of he would-be friends, and the unreliabil ity of others.
 Governor Clark is in close touel with President Taft, in fact is hi personal representative in Alaska and while the present administra tion is in force it is fair to expec that they will be in position to d. the best for us that is warranted Alaska does not expect them to boos her: she stands on her own merits
The Chitina leader., 1910-09-24

Chitina's new postmaster, Johr Foulkes, has received his commis- sion from Washington and is expec' ed here on Monday. He will select site for the office, which will i'm mediately be opened for business MT. Foulkes is no stranger to our res idents, having been the acting post master at Cordova for some time where he has made many friend: through the efficient and accommo dating manner in which he has dis charged his duties.
