“The inland passage is wonderful
at night with little beacon lights flash
ing from every point, and the can
neries lit up all along the course
make a very entrancing picture. In
Columbia water I saw my first whale.
“The Yukon reached Seward Sept.
17. The next day I walked out to the
Jessie Lee Home. The directors and
instructors at this home for native
children are very courteous to visi
tors. I admired the beautiful paint
ings1 and pictures and I snapped a few
mid-scenes myself.
The next morning being Sunday I
attended the M. E. church. The pas
tor delivered a very fine sermon on
temperance. He has a very good
voice delivery, fine personality and
deserves a large audience to listen
to him. Sunday afternoon I spent
taking pictures of various points of
interest in the vicinity of Seward.
“Monday I started on my trip to
Anchorage. If any one had told me
of the variety of scenery between here
and Anchorage I would never have
realized how beautiful it could be.
During the journey I saw great gla-"
ciers of ice and snow that never melt
I away and wild flowers blooming,
beautiful green trees, autumn shrub
bery in all it’s rich, bright colors
within a very short distance of the
glacier. Beautiful water falls were
tearing town the mountain sides in
to the valleys below and at times wild
sheep and moose were seen all tend
ed to make the trip very interesting.
Then *my attention was called to the
loop at Mile 52 and one can see by
looking ahead, a stretch of railroad
and bridges built over a pass in the
canyon and finally winding down to
the station below. At Girdwood,
Charlie Huff, a charter member of the
Anchorage Pioneer lodge boarded
the train and pointed out many inter
ersting views along the way.
“Anchorage is one of; the best locat
ed towns I have visited in Alaska,
Vegetables were on display in some
of the windows that were left over
from the fair. By the use of lime they
raise all kinds of excellent vegetables
and flowers. Back of the town and
out to Spenard lake lie a big stretch
of farm land. At the lake we found
bathing, picnic grounds grounds and
two very fine road houses. In the
evening I had a nice visit with Mrs.
Reid at the Anchorage hotel who
showed me the famous picture of Mt.
McKinley, painted by Sydney Lau
rence. The painting is certainly a
masterpiece of art. We also talked
of Rex Beach, his life in Alaska, his
books and what make them lasting
in the minds of his readers. His
stories are real, the heartaches and
struggles of the people who pioneered
Alaka as well as their joys and tri
umps over the circumtances of the
hour.
Dr. Whiting was right. I have found
fine Americans here, loyal to each
other. I visited the Pioneer hall in
Anchorage with one of the charter
members and was told some of the
finest social gatherings in Alaska had
been held there. I find Alaska has in
every town a good hewspaper.
A good newspaper is the life of
every town and I have enjoyed read
ing the Gateway while in Seward. It
give the news, boosts, is quick to de
fend when defense is needed. It is a
good advertising venture for business.
Nothing helps a town grow or puts
it on the map like a good newspaper.

LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
