Story of Seward
(Continued rrom Page 1)
Brothers objected to the real
estate sales on the townsite plat
as a separate enterprise. In any
event, a new arrangement was
concluded with the Frost con
cern for continuation of the
work.
About this time, Major Bal
laine was also having certain
troubles in his press agent’s de
partment. Randall H. Kemp, edi
tor o the Seward Gateway, sev
ered his connections, whether by
resignation or discharge is not
clear. He was replaced by a not
ed newsman, E. A. Batwell,
formerly a crack reporter for
the* Seattle Post Intelligencer.
Mr. Batwell’s duties were varied
indeed: he carried the fancy ti
tle of “Director of the Depart
ment of Immigration for the
Alaska Central Railroad,” and
was supposed to prepare liter
ature for prospective investors,
laborers, and real estate buyers.
He was also an architect and
draftsman of sorts, and seems to
have had a hand in the design
ing of St. Peter's Episcopal
Church, along with W. J. Stone,
who was advertising his services
as an architect in the Seward
newspaper.
Then, as now, Seward made it
a point to entertain distinguished
guests, making sure that each
prominent visitor was given a
careful briefing as to the pros
pects and possibilities of Seward
and the railroad project. Judge
James Wickersham landed in
Seward during the middle of Oc
tober. 1905. and was taken for a
trip over the railroad, and a
moose hunt, by F. H. Stewart,
the resident traesurer of the
company. On returning after a
successful hunt, the Judge stat
ed to the press than Seward and
the Alaska Central need not be
afraid of any competing railroad
from Valdez to the Yukon, as
such a route would open up en
tirely different country with dif
ferent resources, and add to the
general good of the territory as
a whole.
