THE LIGHTHOUSE SERVICE
The coming to Seward this evening of the U. S. Light
house tender “Cedar,” under command of Captain Lead
better, brings to our attention the very important part
which the Lighthouse Service plays in the development of
the Territoryi Alaska with its thousands of miles of
coast line, many times greater than then entire coastline
of the United States, it’s nigged and forbidding coast, its
many islands and rocks, its bays and inlets, could never
have" been developed had it not been charted by the Coast
and Geodetic Survey and marked and lighted by the Bu
reau of Lighthouses. Even then navigation of Alaskan
waters would not have been as safe as it is today, had it
not been for the constant work of the lighthouse tenders,
and particularly the personnel of the Service.
Not only do the tenders render signal service in keep
ing the various marks, buoys and lights in place and go
ing, but many is the time when the tenders have given
prompt and efficient assistance to ships in distress. The
work of the U. S. L. T. Cedar and of Capt. Leadbetter and
crew at the time of the wreck of the ill-fated “Princess
Sophia” will long be remembered by the people of South
eastern Alaska.
A great deal is, of course, to be yet desired in the mat
ter of properly lighting and marking the coastline of Al
aska, particularly in the southwestern portion of it, but
the work is getting under way slowly and will be con
tinued until the waterways of Alaska are as safe to navi
gation, and even safer than are the streets of any town to
wheeled traffic.
Seward, of course, has a problem of its own in the
matter of lighthouses, and should lose no opportunity to
boost for a light atResurrection Cape, which should be
the largest and most modern lighthouse in Alaska, for it
will safeguard the entrance to the best and most import
ant harbor on the Alaskan coast.
The real coal problem in Alaska now is how to divide
five tons into seven months.
A resort is a place where it’s all right to wear riding
breeches even though you can’t ride.
It’s a queer world. Banks have policemen to guard
their money, but a grocer trusts his delivery man with a
bushel of potatoes.
