frontier variety of gamblers and
adventuresses, and it was the
i liveliest town in Alaska. Those
8,000 residents and stampeders
had been attracted to Valdez
mainly by the alluring claim of
railroad promoters, encouraged
by favorable reports of some Ar
my officers, that it must be by
j force of natural conditions the
! ocean terminus of any railroad be
built from the southern coast
to the interior of Alaska. Wasn’t
Valdez harbor the most norther
ly open port in Alaska? That
settled it, in their minds, re
gardless of resources or the lack
of resources along the route
to the hinderland of Valdez.
The quarter of a century of
changing fortunes since those
times have brought with them a
fixed condition that establishes
Seward for all the years of the
future as one of the most im
portant ports of the Pacific
coast and the world,—the north
ern terminus of two lines of
steamers that regularly, winter
and summer, make the run to
all ports from Seattle along the
southern coast of Alaska; the
Alaska terminus of three lines
of steamers that ply to the
Westward, and the railroad gate
way through which all passen
ger and freight and mail busi
ness comes and goes to and from
! all the towns and communities
in the central valleys of inter
ior Alaska.
And the landing of the Santa
Ana, at 9 o'clock in the forenoon
of August 28, 1903, with its first
construction crew for the new
railroad, is celebrated every year
by the citizens of Seward as the
anniversary of the founding of
J the thriving city. It was named
| Seward at that time by John E.
Ballaine, its founder, in honor
i of William H. Seward, the Amer
ican Secretary of State who ne
gotiated the purchase of Alas
ka from Russia in 1867.
It was the same Santa Ana
j that carried the first and pio
! neer locomotive from Seattle to
Seward for the Alaska Central
Railway in April, 1904, and that
I carried the first cargo of rails
for the railroad along with the
i locomotive.
So confident were the people
, of Valdez that the Alaska Cen
tral was a “fake” and that the
first locomotive for any railroad
in these parts would be dis
charged at Valdez, that they
staged a derisive demonstration
j at the Valdez wharf as the Santa
i Ana pulled in. They had been
1 assured by both of the two daily
newspapers then published in
j that town that the locomotive
