COPY OF OLD PAPER
RECEIVED BY
GATEWAY
Through the courtesy of C. M. Bros
ius, the Gateway has received a copy
of the Seward Tribune, published in
May, 1914, by T. R. Needhom, editor
and manager, arid Needham, Brosius,
& Noon, owners. The paper was hand
set, four columns wide, with four
pages and contains much news of in
terest. The regular Democratic or
ganization, with John Frame, chair
man, had just held a meeting in Val
dez, and was supporting Judge Wick
ersham for delegate, the Judge hav
ing declared himself a democrat and
agreeing to support Woodrow Wilson
for president. The paper is full of
political news of interest to the Ter
ritory, Wickersham bucking the
Shackelford interests.
John Noon was interested in the
present lumber plant, and was also
manager of the Fairbanks Rooming
house. Pete Anderson was painting
and paperhanging, and the Humbolt
line was preparing to enter the local
field. The Alaska Transfer was erect
ing a new barn; Judge Brown had
ruled that Seward saloon men must
appear in person for their license and
tell the story of their lives before be
ing permitted to practice behind the
bar, and Michael Murphy paid $5 for
shooting off his gun within the city
limits. Harry Hoben and Herb Toz
ier had gone to Portage Bay to look
over the proposed railroad site, and
an excursion trip ran to the west
ward.
A preliminary survey was being
| made for the Alaska Railroad, the
Dirigo being in port with a load of
I supplies for the engineers.
LOCAL ARTIST WIELDS
BRUSH IN TRUE COLOR
| Some very excellent paintings, emu
i la ting the landscape variety are be
j ing oiled in beautiful colors by C. E.
Johaiueon, of Seward, who is making
his home at the Skagway House
where he maintains his studio in
connection.
Mr. Johansson is an oldtimer of
the territory having come to Alaska
during the "rush days," settling in
Skagway and later following the elu
sive paystreak into the city of Daw
son. Ever since arriving in the
north Mr. Johansson has studied Na
ture's handiwork, knows the color of
every tree and bush, whether dead
or in its green, and with this opague
vision the hues blended onto his
canvass seem truly realistic.
In an interview with Mr. Johans
son the other day the reporter was
shown some very splendid work,
some reproduction of photos and
some original. Some of his paint
ings are displayed in his studio in
the Skagway House, and in the very
near future the entire collection will
be on display at the Hotel Seward,
where many of his paintings are now
adorning the walls of the spacious
reception room of that popular hos
telry.
| While pictures are pictures and
nothing more to the average person,
those done up in oil by Mr. Johans
son appear to carry a true interpre
tation of life, a His imagery vision
on the Alaska dog team, with their
obstinateness is portrayed distinct
ly. The expression carried by this
team of malamutes on canvass is
claimed by the artist to be one of
his best productions.
Some years ago, not many, while
Mr. Johansson was making his home
in Fairbanks, doing odd jobs with
his brush and easel in hand, a won
derful picture was brought to light.
The picture consists of a beautiful
landscape, and a cabin with a tiny
yellow light blinking lazily from the
window in the foreground, and the
mountains, snow-capped in the back
ground, enhanced by the rays of an
ever-shifting Aurora . Borealis. The
picture in question, an original of
Mr. Johansson’s works was purchas
ed by a wealthy Californian who was
a lover of art, and taken to the
States. The purchase price was $50.
It was later learned that when the
picture was displayed in the home of
the purchaser he w^as offered sev
eral times $1500. All of the paint
ings of Mr. Johansson’s sell at the
above figure. A reproduction in pho
tography of the above mentioned pic
ture with its magnificent northern
lights was printed on the cover of
the March issue of the Fairbanks
Collegion, which was printed in one
color by The Gateway.
Mr. Oscar Dahl, proprietor of the
Hotel Seward has purchased three of
the artsit’s works and has them hang
ing in his parlor. Two of the paint
ings are scenes depicting Alaska’s
vastnesses and another of life. One
of them was made in Cordova, and
carries a lake in the foreground with
moose grazing leizurely near the
foothills of the mountains in the
background. This picture is of ex
ceptional value and is cherished by
Mr. Dahl. The frames for the paint
ings hanging in the Seward hotel
were made to order from Cal M. Bro
sius, local contractor.
At a later date an announcement
will be given The Gateway when the
paintings of Mr. Johansson’s will be
on display for the general public.
