Mrs. W. H. C. Goode Tells
of Pleasant Trip to Alaska
In the Woman’s Home Missions, a
publication devoted to this great
branch of the Methodist Church, Mrs.
; W. H. C. Goode, a member of the com
mittee which visited Seward several
months ago in the interest of the es
tablishment of the Jesse Lee Home,
has the following eulogy of Seward.
“The survey committee for the loca
tion of the new orphanage in Alaska,
after careful study of the various lo
cations possible, decided upon Seward.
This site was approved by the Alas
kan committee and at this writing
work has already been started.
Seward is beautifully located on
Resurrection Bay, and has a harbor
unexcelled for beauty and convenience.
President Harding said of the town*
and bay, “It is a gem in a perfect set
ting.” On entering the bay on his
visit to Alaska, the late President
remarked that he would rather have
that entrance named to commemorate
his visit than any of the mountain
peaks that he had seen. As the Presi

The Admiral Watson of the Paci
fic Steamship, is scheduled to sail
from Seattle tomorrow morning for
Seward and way ports.
Mrs. Ed. Locken, wife of the Pet
ersburg agent of the Pacific Steam
ship company, is a passenger on
board the Admiral Evans. Mrs.
Locken lias been visiting with friends
at Kodiak.
Mrs. W. Scott, wife of the late
deputy marshal at Kodiak, is a pas
senger on the Admiral Evans, bound
for Valdez.
A party of ten tourists from the
Admiral Evans, are spending the day
picnicking at one of the near-by lakes.
A fine lunch was prepared for the
party by the Steward’s department
of the steamer.
D. J. Aughney and Knute Knute
son, both of Spokane, departed for
Seattle Sunday on the steamer Al
aska. Both men are stockholders
in the Alaska Minerals Company at
Nuka Bay. They have been at the
property for a number of weeks past,
arriving in Seward last week from
the bay.
Dr. A. T. Kinsley, Mrs. Kinsley and
son, of Kansas City, Mo., who have
been visiting Mr. and Mrs. George
Sexton during the last ten days, de
parted for Seattle Sunday on the
steamer Alaska.
J. B. McGrath, railroad worker at
j Anchorage, arrived in Seward last
i Saturday.
—
Walter Teeland, son of an Anch
orage grocery man and former clerk
at McMullen’s grocery here, was a
Seward arrival over Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Garfield are
expected to return to Seward this
evening from Anchorage, departing
from this port for Cordova on the
steamer Admiral Evans.
! dent was returning to the States a
| stop was made, and the entrance for
j mally christened “Harding Gateway.”
| The town of Seward was incorporated
in 1912. It has a permanent popula
tion of about 700 people. It is modern
in every respect, with good water,
good streets, good houses, good stores,
and—best of all—as fine a class of
people as the survey committees was
ever privileges to meet.
It is to be hoped that many mem
bers of The Woman’s Home Mission
ary Society will spend their vacation
this year in making a trip to Alaska.
The committee wishes to endorse the
most enthusiastic descriptions of this
wonderland. It is fascinating in its
beauty and lures by its mysterious,
uncharted coasts and islands until we
did not wonder when told very often,
“After a year in Alaska one never
wants to leave.”
It was not the beauty of the place,
however, which caused the commit
tee to decide upon Seward, but be
cause they felt that better opportunity
for the training of our children for
useful lives was offered here. While
a somewhat larger and equally desir
able tract of land was offered by the
splendid people of Anchorage, Seward
won out because it was in Methodist
territory and had cheaper freight.
The Chamber of Commerce offered
for itself and the city a tract of land
containing at least eight acres, well
made roads leading to the property,
city water, fire and police protection,
and co-operation with the Society in
promoting the interests of the insti
tution.
An enthusiastic Jesse Lee Auxiliary
was organized by the committee be
fore leaving the town and the local
support pledged very heartily in every
way. Rev. R. V. B. Dunlap, the pas
tor of our church in Seward, has been
secured by the Alaska committee to
erect the buildings.

You are welcome to our Town
And we will make an effort
To tear all barriers down.
And when you are taking in the sights,
And have the time to spare,
Hunt up Seward’s oldest Pioneer
And see what he is doing there.
You will find he has a real live moose
Behind a high board fence,
And all it costs to see that moose
Is just Fifty Cents.
