<■ To make a first-hand study of Alaskan conditions
Congressman Milton W. Shreve of Erie, Pennsylvania, ac
companied by his son Lyman C. Shreve, a practicing at
torney of Erie, and by Henry O’Malley, U. S. Commis
sioner of Fisheries, arrived in Seward last evening on
board the newly constructed fisheries patrol vessel
“Brant.” The party came directly from Sitka and left
this morning for Fairbanks.
4 On arrival of the vessel Congressman Shreve and
party were met by Mayor Ray and other citizens of Sew
ard and by Mr. Norman Lack, assistant to General Mana
ger Noel W. Smith, of the Alaska railroad, who expressed
Sir. Smith’s regrets at his inability to personally meet
the party at Seward.
The Congressman is making an unofficial tour ot Al
aska for the particular purpose of obtaining first hand;
knowledge regarding Alaskan fisheries and the Alaska
railroad. Mr. Shreve is one of the few republican con
gressmen who 13 years ago voted for the construction of
the Alaska railroad. Being a member of the house com
mittee on appropriations and a chairman of the sub-com
mittee having in charge most if not all of the Alaskan ap
propriations, he felt the need of a closer study of Alas-1
kan needs and conditions, resulting in his present trip to i
the Territory. The attacks made by several members of
congress on the floor of the house on the Alaska railroad
played an important part in his decision to visit the Ter
ritory, and the Congressman is, on his present trip gath
ering data and information which will enable him to per
sonally refute statements regrading Alaska which are, or
may be, without foundation.

taken on a drive through the city and
over the Seward-Kenai highway by
Mayor Ray and expressed themselves
as especially pleased to find such fine
roads in Alaska, and particularly with
the fact that the roads were well used.
The attention of Congressman
Shreve was called by Mr. Ray to the
Lowell Creek project, and the vital
need of the protection of govern
ment property from destruction by
confining the channel of Lowell creek.
