THE SEWARD MARINE HOSPITAL
The Gateway thanks the Seward Chamber of Com
merce for coming to the bat, in reply to Wednesday’s
editorial in this column, and informing us as to the sta
tus of the popular subject, a marine surgeon for Seward.
It seems that the aggressive organization has been
spending its energy howling for what it wants latliei
than enlightening the public of its accomplishments.
The campaign to secure the appointment of a mar
ine surgeon at the Port of Sew’ard abated tempoiaiilj
with the receipt by the Chamber last spring of advice
from U. S. Surgeon General Gumming that the amount
required to compensate the Seward physician for taking
on the work of marine surgeon, would be added when
estimates for annual appropriations for the fiscal year
1931 are submitted, and if approved, and the appropria
tion made, he would undertake to establish the station.
Something of an uphill battle was fought by the
Chamber of Commerce in getting the matter before the
attention of the Surgeon General. Invaluable aid was
rendered by Mr. A. V. Love of the Maritime Association
of Seattle* the Fishing Vessels’ Owners Association;
the Alaska Steamship Company, the Pacific Steamship
Company, the San Juan Fishing & Packing Company,
and Dr. L. D. Fricks, chief of the U. S. Public Health
Sendee, at Seattle.
The visit of Dr. Fricks to Seward and Anchorage
in July 1928 was considered an opportune time for mak
ing request for the establishment of a Public Health
Sendee Statio nat Seward. A committee waited upon
his arrival here during the short interval between the
train and steamer connection but the short space of
time was hardly adequate to present all details, wheie
upon Dr. Fricks recommended the matter to the Sur
geon General. Letters recommending that the station
be established were also forwarded to the Surgeon
General by the organizations mentioned.
A survey of the needs of the Port of Seward w*as
then conducted by Surgeon General Gumming, follow
ing which he declared the establishment of a station in
Seward justifiable, and the appointment of Dr. H. W.
Hyatt satisfactory.

Effort was made by the Chamber to have an emer
gency bill introduced in Congress in view of the fact
the fishing and heavier commercial shipping season
would be starting, and that the port needed service im
mediately. At the time, however, according to the an
nounced program of the administration and congress
ional leaders, a bill of this nature could not be consid
ered as there would be no committee organized to which
it could be referred.
The status, therefore, is that Dr. Smith of the Pub
lic Health Service, Washington, D. C., who was directed
by Surgeon General Cumming to provide for the Relief
Station at Seward, stated in March, that the estimate
would be submitted to the budget committee in June,
arid though it would be for the fiscal year 1931, it
could be put into effect during the calendar year 1930,
provided the budget and congress approved it. If the
budget approves the item, the Public Health Service
will lie able to put the station in by the opening of the
halibut season in 1930.
Every now and then we hear of some Alaskan trav
eling a long distance to court headquarters toi the pur -
pose of being admitted to citizenship. Also, that they
are not only delighted to make such journeys but in ad
dition happy to pay full expenses of their witnesses who
likewise live far away. Can any one doubt but that those
folk are going to make splendid citizens?
It is reported the Soviet fliers deny they had con
templated taking the Alaska delegate for a “ride” over
the Atlantic and drop him in a deep spot. Funny how
rumors get about, what ?
Senator Howell (the same Alaska Howell) declares
that there is drinking going on in Washington. Who
would have thought it?
PETERSBURG, Alaska, Oct., 25,
(/Pi—Fire believed to have been
caused by a short circuit, des
troyed the major portion of the j
Wrangell Narrows Packing Co.
plant at Mountain Point, last
night.
It is estimated the damage will
amount to $15,000 which is part
ly covered by insurance. The
plant was purchased last spring
by C. P. Haugen, O. P. Flynn and
J. T. Tenneson and had had a
successful season. It will probably
be rebuilt, the owners said.
W. W. Flynn, railroad foreman
at Mile 20, has been in town for
the past few days for treatment
to a hand which appears to be
infected.
“I find the same old pioneer ,
spirit continues to exist and it !
will be ever so,” remarked A. F.
Holloway, one of the best known
of newspapermen on the Pacific
Coast, now in Seward.
Mr. Holloway has been repre- '
senting the Alaska Weekly, pub
lished in Seattle, for the last few
years and has made frequent
trips to the Territory in their
interests. The present one has
been in connection with obtain
ing subscriptionst and the dona- |
tion to each Alaska town, a full i
oage advertisement.
Speaking of the reception accord- j
ed him HcU< .. v stated that the1
North cc-ua.** i . as been very good
to him a no th: he highly appre
ciates the courtesies and favors
extended to him. He is a sour
dough, himself, and a member
of the Pioneer Order, so these
journeys to Alaska are just like
coming home. While in Fairbanks
Mr. Holloway took out a member
ship in the International Highway
project; “To help boost her
along,” he said.
One thing Mr. Holloway said
lingers in the editor’s mind like
an old sweet refrain, when he
dropped the remark; “Alaska has
a great heart!’’
BODIES IN WRECKAGE
MILWAUKEE, Oct., 25, (A*)—A
dozen bodies marked the resting
place of the Grand Trunk car ferry
“Milwaukee” and revealed the fate
of the crew of 54, each encased in
a life-belt, and floating among the
wreckage from the ill-fated ship
which plunged to the bottom dur
ing Tuesday’s storm.
The S. S. Admiral Evans, of the
P. S. S. Co., is due to return to
the Port of Seward today or
early in the morning enroute to
the south tomorrow forenoon.
