RHETORIC OR ACTION?
Friends in Congress, the Port of Seward needs a
shelter harbor; a harbor of refuge for small cia t.
Each succeeding day the need is more apparent. J1 he
situation is acute. The small boat owner must not be
left for their sole protection to the present inadequate
facilities. For a small boat owner to protect his craft he
must live on it 24 hours a day. While the Russian plane
“Land of Soviet” was here it was nearly wrecked m
Saturday morning’s storm. When it arrived from Dutch
Harbor the fliers were afraid to moor their plane at
the buoy owing to the high sea running. Smali wondei.
Hundreds of instances of narrow escapes from des
truction could be pointed; as well as loss of life owing
to lack of a shelter harbor in Resurrection bay.
We cannot, on the one hand, permit an indefinite
continuation of neglect to our fishing fleet, nor on the
other be required to yield to procrastination.
We suggest local civic organizations drop every
tentative plan or project underway and* back this mat
ter up concertedly. Major Malcom Elliott, head of the
Alaska Road Commission, which department handles
the rivers and harbors work in the Territory, is now
in Washington, D. C., on appropriation allotments for
next season’s work.
Begin today sending a bombardment of letters and
telegrams to our friends at Washington. Let us get
some action instead of “bull.” The powers that be will
play “horse” with us forever unless we howl. We are
told they like to hear us howl and that only by howling
will they be able to give us an ear and perhaps fill our
pent-up desires.
We want to see this proposed project, which has
been approved but no appropriation made, advanced
from a stage of rhetoric to one of action.
Thunderous salvos of silence have greeted Alas
kans from the delegate to Washington since the last
election; he is probably to busy making politics for the
spring primary to give any personal attention to the
Territory. Hey, What?
According to La Rochefoucauld, dead these hun
dreds of years, it is of no advantage to a woman to be
young without being pretty, or to be pretty without be
ing young.
An- American expedition will seek to discover
Noah’s Ark. It would make a fine addition to the Ship
ping Board’s wooden fleet.
A Pasadena official is charged with paying exor
bitant prices for soft soap bought for the city. Most
politicians make their own.
HOTEL HTHON
Open under new management; the hotel is
now undergoing alterations from top to bot
tom* but is open for business.
Nels Rosengren, Manager.
PIONEER COAL COMPANY
When ordering your next coal for the house,
hotel, apartment house or business, try the
PIONEER COAL Company’s product which
is now on the market. We feel certain you
will be pleased with results obtained.
The A. S. S. Co., freighter Tan
ana, in port yesterday from the
south discharged a small shipment
at the Seward dock then shifted to
the Standard Oil Co., wharf where
a large amount of cased supplies
were unloaded. The vessel left for
the Westward last night.
A shipment of freight for the
U. S. Bureau of Fisheries at
Dutch Harbor is aboard. It is
presumed this is the cargo which
the patrol boat Eider would have
taken to the Pribilof Islands had
she not run on a reef orw the
'north side of St. George Island
recently, thus putting her out of
commission.
Two thousand sheep were said
to be aboard destined for one
of the Westward ranches.
Whale oil and herring are to
be loaded at Port Hobron.
From Unalaska the vessel will |
clear direct for Seattle.
Officers on the freighter are
Capt. A. W. Westerholm. A. Han- \
een, pilot; Robert Iversen, 1st j
mate; Robert Berg, 2nd officers;
A. Husky, 3rd officer; C. C. *Car- j
ter, chief engineer; and S. O. ;
Sasser. There are 36 men in her :
crew.
APPRECIATE INVITATION
The Russian aviators of the
, “Land of Soviet” made known
, while here of how proud they
are of the special invitation ex
i tended to them by Henry Ford,
to be his guests while in Dertoit.
One other item just come to
light was the gratitude of the
fliers to the locail ladies, Mrs. L.
Urbach and Mrs. J. C. Green,
who on Saturday served them a ;
delicious luncheon in the office
of Manager Charles Jansen, of
! the San Juan cold storage plant
thereby saving the aviators time
in going uptown.

An absorbing play showing the American
“The Melting Pot” in action. It concerns the
trials, the happiness, the tragedies, of three
immigrant families—A Russian, a German, an
Italian, who come with ambition high to this
great country, to go through much before
blending in to the American ideal. A beauti
fully acted feature with
George Sidney
Leading the cast of special stars.
A PICTURE EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO
BE A GOOD CITIZEN SHOULD SEE.
