TWO BIG LOCAL ASSETS
Seward can point with considerable pride to two
infant industries; young insofar as industries are count
ed but not small in size. The Williamson fox ranch near
Lawing and “The Pass Mink Ranch” of Oscar Christen
son at Moose Pass station, a few miles beyond Lawing.
Mr. and Mrs. Williamson have 80 or 90 pens now
and intend to double this before fall. Christenson has
close to 250 mink. Both are modern fur farms in every
sense of the word and are a distinct asset to Seward.
Unquestionably, many other fur farms would spring
up along that route if the “Missing Link” road connect
ing Seward, Lawing and Moose Pass is built. But in the
meantime Seward should extend every assistance to
the Williamsons and Christenson; and we believe their
desires along this line is to keep plugging away for the
short road-wav which will afford them ingress and
egress at all times for food for their animals, principally.
What constitutes an Oldtimer in Alaska might be
termed a moot question for out at some of those districts j
to the West of Seward there are oldtimers whose fathers j
were Oldtimers.
! Among those leaving tonight on 1
i the S. S. Aleutian is E. T. Crane of 1
Oakland, who last visited Seward I
seven years ago. Crane commented!
on the many improvements made
since then, not only here, but in the
other principal towns of Alaska.
He represents the makers of the
Checkometer check writer and pro
tector and reports sales of his ma
chine to the Bank of Seward and
local merchants as well as to many
other banks and firms in towns
previously visited. “The results so
far have been very gratifying.”
Crane declared, “and to me busi- i
ness conditions in Alaska appear
to be better than in many sections
in the states”
Mr. Crane made the trip in via
Skagwav. the Yukon river and
Fairbanks and was above the Arc- j
tic Circle on June 21 when the mid- !
night sun was at its best. “I en- i
joy coming to Alaska”, he said, “not!
only for the business to be had, but j
also for the wonderful scenery, j
mild summer climate and especial
ly for the courteous and progressive
spirit shown by all”.
OFFICER IS ILL
First Officer John Tolibom of
the S. S. Starr, is taking what
nught be termed an enforced va
cation; he has been at the Seward |
General Hospital for the last 1
three days for an internal disor- 1
der and it is quite possible he may {1
not be able tc join his ship on i
the next voyage sailing tomorrow. j
The popular officer hopes to j j
be feeling so much improved that j1
he might go out on the boat but !
this appears doubtful.
