WESTWARD COPPER DEPOSITS
Did you know that the Iliamna country has some of
the greatest copper deposits inNorth America? When
you stop to reflect that copper has attained a high level
thru lack of new discoveries, it means much to the Iliam
na region
Capital has known for some years of the Iliamna de
posits but has waited until the world situation would jus
tify the big expenditure necessary to open up the Iliamna
with a railroad. However, the time seems to have arrived.
There is plenty of timber and water power there. We
will not he surprised at any time to hear important an
nouncements concerning that country and we will re
joice along with those who have for many years clung to
their holdings.

WHAT HO!
“Well dad burn your worthless hide, you old ice
worm,” exclaimed Sourdough Bill enthusiastically, as he
greeted his old trail mate Cockeyed Charlie, “I ain’t seen
you for so many years I sure thought you'd been gather
ed in. Let’s see,1 that was back in 1930 and this is 1948.
Time sure does travel. Where you been since the old Ter
ritory became the 49th star in Old Glory?”
“Me? Oh I been prospecting over in Anchorage
County and drifted out to Nome County and was down
to Cordova County for a spell. Done fairly well too. Sure
I remember statehood and the abolishment of that awful
curse prohibition came in about the same time. Let’s see,
the International Highway was built in 1932, wasn’t it?
“Them was what you might say were auspicious oc
casions sure enuff and we sure did celebrate. What say
we tip one over for old times sake?”
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle—
THE SELDOVIA HERALD
We do not know who the editor of The Seldovia
Herald is, but here’s good luck to he or she. whoever
they are and we desire at this time to welcome them
to the ranks of Alaska’s famous Fourth Estate. The
paper is a mimeograph weekly but in it are all the hap
penings in and about Seldovia, telegraph news and
good, home-made editorials. May the time come when
the publisher has a real plant. He may never make much
money but we’ll promise him he will have more fun than
a cat on a tin roof. The best of luck to you, old top!
Good roads have been the slogan in the United
States for years. They have brot ease and happiness to
remote regions. California spends many millions every
year on her splendid highways and is reaping many fold
on the outlay. What California spends in one year would
link up Seattle with Fairbanks. Who can judge or for
tell what the completion of the International Highway
would mean to this Territory. Its possibilities surpass
the fondest dreams of the wildest imagination.
TIES, CARS, CULVERTS
The S. S. Tanana, which was
scheduled to arrive in port today
from the south, will discharge
3,900 ties for the railroad. This
shipment comes from Wrangell,
Ketchikan and Juneau. In addi
tion the vessel will discharge 19
automobiles and trucks, two
tractors and 30 tons of culverts.
Captain Westerholm, the well
known Alaska skipper commands
the big vessel.
Lynn W. Smith, newT accountant
for the Seward Trading Co., and
Mrs. Smith, arrived Saturday from
Seattle on the S. S. Aleutian. They
have moved into the Arcade apart
ments.
The new gasoline air station of
the Seward Machine Shop is now
functioning perfectly and to Leon
I Urbach goes the honor of being the
first customer. The advantage of
this type of station is that the
motorists can see what he is get
ting.
i
Henry Morris was an arrival on
the new Aleutian from Latouche
and departed for Anchorage Sun

fleet.
