RETIRED SUGAR MANUFACTURER
OF HAWAIIAN ISLANDS SAT
ISFIES DESIRES
ENJOYED HIS JOURNEY
Spends Enjoyable Week at McKinley
Park—Fishing Today at
Russian River
“After attempting to come to Alas
ka on three different occasions, I fin
ally put her over this year,” remarked
A. C. Lovekin, retired business man
of Riverside, California, who arrived
in Seward a few days ago from the
Interior. “I was in California in 18S9,
during the time of the McGrath-Tur
net expedition was perfecting plans
to leave for Alaska and I endeavored
at that time to get a position with the
party but was unable to do so, so I
went to the Hawaiian Islands instead.
Some years later, in 1910, I was book
ed for passage North on the Princess
May, which sank in Southeastern
Alaskan waters. This summer I in
formed the family of my desires to
visit Alaska. They ordinarily accom
pany me on my trips but this spring
they expressed a desire to go to Eu
rope, so there they went and I came
North.”
Member of Tourist Party
Mr. Lovekin arrived North with the
Criswell party, journeying writh them
to as far as the McKinley National
Park, where he parted company with
them. For a week he visited many
points of interest in the park, many
times in company witn ©upi. Jtvars
tens, who went to great lengths to
make the visit an enjoyable one for
Mr. Lovekin. Thomas Marquam, for
mer mayor of Fairbanks, w'ho is as
sociated with the McKinley Park
Transportation and Tourists Com
pany, also went out of his wray to make
his visit interesting.
With reference to national parks,
Mr. Lovekin said he has visited every
| park of this description in the United
i States and Canada and in this con
; nection spoke to some length regard
i ing the preservation of wild game
; life.
Meets Capt. Johansen
; During the recent Chamber of
! Commerce meeting Mr. Lovekin met
> Capt. O. E. Johansen, master of the
j steamer Starr, and during their con
; versation recalled meeting him many
j years ago in the Hawaiian Island's
■ where Capt. Johansen, then a mate or
j a vessel plying betwreen the Unitec
■ States and Canada, had spent the
: winter. Though they were not fa
■ miliarly known to each other, thej
had met at Honolulu. When Mr. Love
kin first saw Capt. Johansen at th<
meeting he stated that his face looket
‘ familiar, and upon inquiry the fact:
I of their former acquaintance came up
In the Sugar Business
His sugar interests in the island:
kept him there for 20 years. Mr
Lovekin remarked. He was formerl;
associated with the W. G. Erwin Co
who operated a line of vessels to tin
islands, out of Boston. Since his re
tirement from active business life, h
has devoted his entire time to colon:
zation studies, agriculture and in cil

KENAI LAKE DRIVE
LIKE BOULEVARD,
SAYS CALIFORNIAN
MOST WONDERFUL SCENIC DRIVE
IN TERRITORY SAYS MEMBER
OF CRABTREE PARTY
Among the recent visitors to Sew
ard was Miss H. Nichols, o£ Oakland,
and her nephew, John Nichols, from
Applegate, Cal. Miss Nichols, a friend
of John H. Hughes, formerly connect
ed with the Alaska Railroad, made the,
Golden Belt tour beginning from the
Cordova end, and in speaking of the
trip remarked it was very enjoyable
and that the trail was in splendid con
dition for travel.
They were members of the Crabtree
tourist party which consisted of 12
people, and everyone thought the trip
was wonderful. Miss Nichols stated
her desire to make the trip arose from
the boosting of Captain Hughes, who
spoke so highly to her of the Alaskan
scenic trip. During her short stay
in Seward while awaiting the depart
ure of the steamship Northwestern
■ for Seattle she was a member of the
party which drove out to Lake Kenai.
Of all the drives in the Territory
> the Kenai highway drive, which is
1 now like a boulevard was the most en
i joyable she has experienced, she said.
. The beautiful drive, winding about the
Chugach National forest, ending at
5 the placid lake, was one that she will
. recall for years.
