ST. PAUL HARBOR
It has long been a recognized fact by mariners of
the Westward that a proper charting and marking of
the south entrance to St. Paul harbor at Kodiak would
be a vast aid to navigation. Captains of steamship com
panies have advocated it and the idea, it is said, has been
personally approved by Captain Lukens of the U. S.. S.
Surveyor of the Geodetic Survey although authorization
for the work has never been officially passed upon. In
time, undoubtedly, it will be done in the ordinary course
of the work of the survey and the department of lights
and bouys, but seamen say it would be an excellent thing
if the department would make it a special order of busi
ness and do it at once.
As matters stand, ships coming into Kodiak harbor
are compelled to maneuver in a restricted space and turn
around at the dock so that they may go out by the East
entrance thru which they came. The result has been a
series of collisions with the dock with the consequent
necf -'dty of renewing piling frequently.
But there is a good channel at the southwest en
trance to St. Paul harbor and if this was marked, boats
could come in from either direction and go on their
way without trouble. It would be much handier for the
Admiral Liners and would save much time and distance,
while at the same time it would he a vast help for the
halibut fleet most of which foregather off the southern
end of Kodiak Island and must come to Kodiak for fuel
and supplies. A proper southwest entrance to St. 1 aul
would obviate the necessity of going out around Wood
and Long Island to reach the East entrance and save
distance, time and money. It is understood the Kodiak
Chamber of Commerce will seek the aid of the. Sew
ard Chamber in bringing this matter to the attention of
the proper governmental department.
NOTICE TO CROOKS!
Before you commit a crime in anothei state other
than (_-) please consider our free state institutions;
concerts and radio programs every evening when you
are through with making sacks or shoes for the day,
baseball on Sundays, splendid library, music lessons if
desired. Clean, comfortable beds and wholesome food.
Hot and cold running water, steam heat, lovely gardens,
etc., etc.
That’s about the way prison newspapers will be ad
vertising in the future, in our opinion. Alaska has no
pen. as yet, so we don’t have to worry at this time.
Edgar Wallace, the brilliant English author who,
ft or raying America a wsit recently, returned home
and iorthv. ith began to pan the tar out of us. He said
American authorities mollycoddle prisoners; that in
many cases r man was better off in jail or out; or words
to that effect. We are inclined to think along the same
line. Perhaps confinement alone is sufficient punishment.
We don't know, for thus far we have kept without.
What makes honest, able men, these days, make re
marks such as these; “It doesn’t pay to be honest any
more.” and, “I have my doubts if honesty is the best pol
icy.” You have heard similar remarks as I, also.
Certainly it is not the treatment accorded convicts
but the evident corruption about us. Everyone has a
right to their opinion and ours is that the prohibition
law alone is responsible for the disrespect for law and
order which seems to be growing by leaps and bounds.
But to get back to our opening paragraph;with all
the comforts of home available, imprisonment holds few
terrors today for criminals and those unfortunates en
meshed in the dry law.
j According to the annual report
| prepared by Rev. Harry Ferney
j hough of the Tacoma Seaman’s
I Home that institute was used last
year by upwards of 10,000 men.
Church services were attended by j
| -',203 seamen, two missing sailors j
were located and 244 distressed
I seamen were relieved. Mr. Fer
, neyhough personally visited 655
imerchant vessels during the year'
| and procured berths for 237 sail-;
j ors. Socials and amusementsj
| form a major part of the activi
1 ties of this institute, under the
I superintendency of Mr. Ferney
; hough, as is shown by the annual
figures: 2,697 attending the so
; cial meetings, 3,457 working out
i in the gymnasium and 3,881 tak
i ing a cue at the pool tables.
JUST OUT OF SHOP
j Out of the ways, its coating of
grey paint hardly dry, rolled the |
J newly constructed power dory of I
“Louie” Frandzen, yesterday aft- j
ernoon. The boat, built by Frand
zen during the winter, under the
master eye of Steve Melchoir, is
| equipped with a two-cylinder 8-10
I horsepower Kermath engine of the
latest design, fitted with a Maxim
silencer. From the shop, the trim
little craft was taken to the beach,
and in a few days, after aligning
the shaft and building the box
housing for the engine, it will be
launched.
The ticket > agency for the
i Northland Transportation Co., at
! Juneau, which company operates
j the motorships Northland and
Norco, is now in the hands of J.
B. Burford.
I W. P. Olnes of Chatanika, was
j fined 100 kopecks for violation of
| the game law. He is said to have
i shot a cow moose. ( Probably he
i wanted something to eat.)
