THE FUTURE OF THE WESTWARD
Since Seward is the Gateway of the great Westward
country even unto Bristol Bay as well as the Gateway
to the Interior, it is pleasing from this vantage point to
contemplate the future of that portion of Alaska. Par
ticularly now we visualize the Kodiak of the future
where things are happening today that are significant
of big changes in the immediate years to come. This
awakening, for such it seems to be, is destined to mean
big things for that island and its inhabitants. Incident
ally, it can only mean good for Seward.
Primarily because he has been the biggest deterrent
factor in the development of the island, the great and
dangerous and destructive brown bear is to be consid
ered. He is to be slaughtered in ever increasing num
bers to the hoped-for end that he will be eliminated from
the island or driven so far back into the mountains that
he will no longer menace the stockraiser, the farmer or
the prospector. To this end the Kodiak Guides Associa
tion, under the leadership of Charles Madsen, has al
ready done good work in the first year of their exist
ence, and now come the independent guides, Fred Hen
ton and Sid Olds, who will take pack animal and saddle
horse parties deep into the interior and trail the bear to
his fartherest haunts. With many hunting parties in
the field the bear will be harried away from the grass
and berry lands of the coast and the salmon streams
where at present he is a most destructive agent, hold
ing up practically all lines* of human endeavor.
This will be a godsend to the stockraiser and the
stockraiser will some day be lord of Kodiak instead of
"Witness the growing herd on several of the
e island and the recent importation of 1,200
■s eep on Sit kali dak, which may be c »n side red part of
Kodiak, being; so closely adjacent at the south end.
Then there are the new fur farms that are starting
up, as well '■ s the expanding fur ranches on the islands
close to the mainland.
hoar.
07 11
Within the past few months two mink ranches have
been started right in Kodiak town, while at Long Is
land, nine miles away, the Alaska Fur Corporation has
one of the biggest fur ventures of the entire territory.
These fur ranches should increase rapidly on the main
island where conditions have been found exceptionally
good for beaver, muskrat, mink and raccoon as wTell as
fox. There is really no limit to what may be accom
plished in this direction. Kodiak spuds and vegetables
excellent, while chickens, pigeons and rabbits could
be raised in profusion because Kodiak enjoys a climate
\jri!me any Otuer portion of Alaska.
The fishing industry tends to move more and more
to the Westward and of this Kodiak will reap the major
share of the reward. The mineral possibilities of the
island are unknown because the bears have held back
prospecting, but several metals have been found and
placer gold has been mined. A geological survey is
hoped for that will give the island a new prospecting
impetus. All in all, things look good for Kodiak. A
fine climate, a beautiful place to live with a chance of
laying by more than a competence.

m
Its all over but the shouting!
At S o'clock this afternoon the
time limit for candidates to file
for city offices, April 1, passes
Into oblivion; for another year,
anyway. And unless others than
those mentioned below filed dur
ing this afternoon, only four cit
izens are going to take a chance.
Mayor P. C. McMullen filed yes
terday for reelection and it is a
safe bet he will win hands down.
Dr. A. H. Roberts, who was ap
pointed some months ago a mem
ber of the council filling the va
cancy created by the retirement
of Otto Schailerer, has filed and
will, without a doubt, be elected
a councilman.
Chas. Cooper, for years a res
ident of the city and one of the
best known young men in the
country, is the only new candi
date for the council who had fil
ed up to this morning. Charlie
should win in a walk.
William Abbott, who needs no
introduction to Sewardites or for
! that matter anyone along the
Alaska Railroad belt, is out for
! a job on the school board. Bill
| will fill the shoes of the retiring
member, Mr. Meyers, perfectly.
With the exception of Council
man Elwyn Swetraann, all other
terms of the council members
expire; Councilmen’s Orlander,
Badger, Homer and Roberts. The
recent vacancy created by the de
parture of R. J. McKenna, on the !
council, was not filled owing to
tire proximity of the election.
Providing an insufficient num
ber of candidates file before 5
o'clock today the voters will have
to write in their choice.
The postponed meeting of the
council, held open since a week
ago last Tuesday, will be held this
evening beginning at 8 o'clock.
