Hewitt & Co.
To Open Store
In Anchorage
:
Starting in on September the 11th
j the new Hewitt Building on Fourth
avenue between E and F streets will
be thrown open to the public showing
a complete line of office equipment
under the firm name of E. S. Hewitt
& company and under the direct man
agement of E. S. Hewitt, who will di
vide his time between this and the
Juneau store.
Most of his stock is already in An
chorage and with several big ship
ments en route together with the
modern equipments and furnishings
of the store will give this place of
business a strictly metropolitan ef
fect, and will be a distinct credit to
Anchorage.
The firm of E. S. Hewitt and com
pany is also operating a store fn Ju
neau and the Anchorage store will
carry the same line of goods, consist
ing of large and small office equip
ment. from the versatile pen to the
responsible Burroughs Adding ma
chines of which they are the exclus
ive Alaska representative.
In addition ot the Burroughs Add
ing machine this firm will carry the
L. ('. Smith & Bros, typewriters,
<i <>b Wernicke desks and filing cab
■n 'ts, the Corona typewriters and
■ re-proof safe cabinets. Mr. Hew
itt has recently secured the valuable
contract to handle the Edison dia
mond-disk phonographs and one en
tire side of the new store will be oc
cupied by this line.
This firm was especially fortunate
in securing the services of E. L.
Durell who will have charge of the
service department and comes direct
from the factory of the Burroughs
Adding Machine company.
The contract will be let in a few
days for the construction of a ware
house in the rear of the store build
ing to take care of the surplus stock
and insure ample stock for the winter
trade.
In entering the business field of
Anchorage the house of E. S. Hewitt
and company announces through the
columns of The Daily Times, that
they assure the public prompt serv
ice and courteous treatment and
judging from their enviable Juneau
reputation The Daily Times predicts
a successful business career for this
firm dating from September 11, the
opening day.
Movement Is
Underway to
Improve Service
A movement is on foot to lay an
additional cable between Seattle and
Ketchikan, to connect with other ca
bles already laid in the “inside pas
sage, ”so as to relieve the Sitka route
of much of its load. This will have
the effect, for a while at least, of an
other cable to southwestern Alaska
points. If this plan is carried out
Anchorage will be directly benefitted,
i as much of the congestion on the
i route terminating at Seward will be
! removed. Within the past few weeks
changes have been made which will
allow Seward to work with Sitka,
saving the tedious relay at Valdez.
As the cable system is now giving
all-night service to Valdez, it would
seem that such service might be ex
tended to Seward if a little pressure
was to be brought to bearjn the right
place. Without such extension there
would be little gained by an all-night
service between Anchorage and the
cable terminal at Seward.
Telephonic connections between An
chorage and Seward can now’ be had
between 8 a. m. and 6 p. m. daily.
Twenty-four hour service will be giv
en at the Anchorage telephone ex
change after receipt and installation
of increased facilities have been made
in the new “T. & T.” building now
nearing completion and located on
Fourth avenue between the federal
jail and the post office.

a thorough usrvey of the pri in. Ac

Lighthouse at
Cape St. Elias
Soon Be Ready
—
11
(Juneau Empire)
The lighthouse station on Cane St. 5
Elias, at the south end ol’ Kayak is]- f
and and on the direct route of travel j=
from Juneau to Cordova and other *;
westward towns will be in commission t
shortly after Septe'mber 1st, accord- i |
ing to the statements made by Cap
tain W. C. Debrell, who passed t
through Juneau southbound recently.
Captain Debrell is the superintend- fi
ent of lighthouses' for Alaska and =
spent the summer in the westward g;
section personally inspecting the work £
of installing additional aids to navi- j
gation in that section and making a
general inspection of the aids already -
in place.
The Cape St. Elias light station will
be one of the greatest aids to naviga
tion on the northern steamer run, as
al! westward boats are forced to round
the cape twice each trip. The cape
extends several miles south of the
mainland and directly across the
route ol travel, making it necessarv
for the steamers to run several miles
out of a direct course. In stormy
weather or in foggy weather in tin
past steanu i s have frequently been
forced to lay for houi olf the cape
waiting for the weather to clear
enough for them to get their bearings
from the land.
A brief description of the station ?
prepared by Captain Debrell follow :
This station consists of a tower £
supporting the lantern, direct con- £
nected at one corner with a fog signal 1
building, back of which and contigu
ous with it is a storage building for
oil, distillate, coal and water. The
building.-- named are all of reinforced
concrete construction, except the su
perstructure of the tower, which is of
iron and bronze.
ty to tl\£ tower, where they best l
serve their several purposes are a l
dwelling constructed of cement sand, ;
brick on concrete foundations, a boat f
house, and a hoist house both of the 3
same construction. Carpenter and ^
forge shops are accommodated in the =
latter two buildings. Rail trams con- !
nect the ea-t and west beaches of the 3
cape with the various structures and l
are served by oil engine hoists.
The illuminant is coal oil vaporized I
and burned on a group of three man- '
ties, showing from a revolving lense 3
of the third order of modern make, a jj
double flash every 20 seconds. The "
fog signal consists of first class air |
I sirens sounding a group of two blasts I
every minute from double-mouthed |
trui. pets, the blasts being four sec- “
onds long with a four-second interval
between them. The air is compressed >
by oil engine compressors in storage
tanks whence it is taken to the sirens. I
All equipment is in duplicate to pre '
elude delays in service due to possible (
breakdown of machinery. <
There will be three keepers resident ;
of this station without families. The (
wireless station which has been in op- {
eration during the past construction S
season may possibly be continued in (
operation until May next year. A <
regularly appointed licensed radio op- j
erator is in charge of the wireless in- <
stallation. (
The station is constructed from a J
special appropriation made by con- <
gress in the sum of $115,000. Con- <
struction began June 1, 1915, the pre- <
liminary surveys having been made in <
May of the same year. It is an aid <
much desired by mariners, for all ves- \
sols bound westward, whether from j
the inside passage or direct, must (
make Cape St. Elias before proceed- J
ing further. 1
As a supplementary aid and to
mark South East rock, lying between -
two and three miles off Cape St. Elias,
a large gas lighted, whistling and sub
marine bell buoy has been established
in about 24 fathoms of water off the
cape. The whistle and bell are actu
ated by the sea.
