large motorship has been taken over |
by Capt. Walter H. Meyers, the R.
T. Johns & Co. Inc., of Seattle, and
himself, and that service to this port
will begin shortly..
The vessel is the old revenue cut
ter Patterson and it was purchased
by C. K. West who spent $100,000 on
the boat, completely remodeling it,
installing diesel engines and motor
cargo handling gear. In fact, it is
stated, to all intents the vessel is a
new ship and is rated A-l with the
insurance companies. The vessel’s
speed is nine knots. She has a lim
ited amount of passenger accommo
dations. The first trip to this port
will be made under command of Capt.
Meyers, who was a visitor in Seward
about two months ago.

VERMONT MAN SAYS CHILDREN
OF THE TERRITORY WILL
COME HOME TO ROOST
Secretary Hoover’s Fish Conserva
tion Policy Is Fine Thing Says
Visitor from the States
“The moL-i encouraging thing aliout
Alaska which has appealed to myself
is the children,” said D. W. Handy,
who with Mrs. Handy returned to this
city yesterday morning from a trip
of personal exploration in the Valley
of Ten Thousand Smokes. Continu
ing, Mr. Handy said: “Apparently a
majority of Alaska’s citizens appear
to be waiting the day when they can
go Outside, but the children who are
born and raised in Alaska will be like
the birds, they may leave the Terri
tory for a time but will eventually
will come home to roost and settle
down.”
Mr. Handy also believes that every
cannery in Alaska should be compell
ed to have its own hatchery so that
propagation may continue indefinitely,
and the fish supply conserved. He
feels certain it is not the heads of the
large packing companies who are so
anxious each year to harvest a tre
mendous financial crop from the can
neries, but on the other hand believe
it to be the ptYsonal zeal of those in
direct charge of the canneries, who
are constantly seeking to make re
cords. Also the fishermen themselves
want to catch all they can while the
catching is good. It does not sound
reasonable, Mr. Handy said, that the
owners of these large cannery con
cerns would “kill the goose that lays
the golden eggs.”
He is convinced that Secretary
Hoover’s policy of conservation is a
wise one, and will eventually reap
benefits to all. In the majority of the
fishing areas of the Territory this sea
son’s pack has been a failure. This
should serve as a warning, he stated.
Mr. and Mrs. Handy are practically
retired from business and live on a
640-acre farm at West Hartford, Ver
mont. For eight years they conduct
ed what was reported to be the larg
est dairy farm in the State. All of
the stock, many of them blue ribbon
winners, have been sold. During the
time they were actively engaged in
business some wonderful crops were
raised on the farm, according to de
scriptions imparted by Mr. Handy.
Both left Seward this morning for
Anchorage from where they will go on
a camping trip to either the Beluga
or Susitna flats, where they will await
the opening of the duck hunting sea
son. Later they will go into the In
terior, ihcluding the McKinley Na
tional park and prior to their return
to the coast en route East, may go
into the White river region in the Yu
kon watershed where a big game hunt
is looked forward to.
New Store for Seward

A gift shop and ladies’ wear store
will be opened in the Brownell build
ing on the corner of Washington and

ready been received by Mrs. Swenson,
with more expected shortly from the
States. Interior alterations are now

carpentry work. Mrs. Swenson, late
of Anchorage and Fairbanks, is an old

first to engage in business at Anchor
