ALASKA MONDAY, NOVEMBER, 20, 1916

Valdez made quite good move for itself when it started the university school whatever it is called Of course starting thing like that does not mean that it is
 university but it may that when Alaska is given a university the place which has the machinery running may be the place selected And Alaska is sure to have university sooner or later When the railroad is running and the Matanuska mines are being operated a much greater population will be around the district. It pos abe that this division will be the greatest center of popu laton in the whole territory and if Valdez remains the judicial capital of the division it will be more reason why Valdez would be the seat of Alaskan university The people of Valdez have probably made very wise move.
