BELIEVES SEWARD WILL
BE PERMANENT PORT
While the new town of Anchorage,
is destined to become an important
and permanent port, its development
will not challenge the position of
Seward as the tidewater terminus of
the government's Alaska railroad, says
Kenneth C. Kerr, editor of Railway*
Marine News, as a result of an exhaus
tive Investigation of conditions in
Cook Inlet aijd Seward. Kerr recent
ly made an extended visit to South
western Alaska, in the course of which
he made a throrough study of the rail
road situation.
The results of the investigation are
set forth in a valunble and Instructive
article In the August number of Rail-1
*'ay & Marine News, illustrated with I
photographs of the railroad work in
the North.
There is no basis, declares Kerr, for
any assumption that the railroad may
switch its terminal from Seward to
Anchorage, and there are no lines of
rlvilary between the two towns. The
fact that a town is to be established
at Anchorage and that reservations
have been made there for educational
and municipal purposes Indicate, ac
cording to Kerr, that Anchorage is to
be a permanent division terminal and
coal port following the busy days of
construction work. Matanuska coal
will be handled through Anchorage.
It Is clear, however, that Anchorage
is to be the most active construction
camp in the North this year and next'
year. It is also assured that a coal
handling plant for the Matanuska coal
will be established there and that the
town will become a permanent port
for all time.
Kerr also reports that all energy i.y
now being directed to the construction
of the railroad from Anchorage , to
Chickaloon, so that the national ad
ministration can make good on its an
nouncement that it will be able to
land Matanuska coal at tidewater in
1916.
