(Continued from Page One)
the one Mr. Ballaine presented to
President Harding in Seward. The
entire letter, now a valued historic
document, is as follows:
Copy of Original Letter
October 10, 1903.
To the President:
1 have establis-ed a new town or
Resurrection Bay, Alaska, and have
named it Seward, in honor of William
H. Seward, the Secretary of State
wno negotiated the purchase of Alas
ka from Russia. It fs the Pacific
ocean terminus oi a pi’ojected rail
road system, the Alaska central, in
corporated in 1902 and now undei
construction, the purpose of which is
to open the interior ot Alaska tc
settlement and development.
The Postoffice Department has re
lused my request to give me name o.
Seward to a postoffice at this new
town, on the ground that there art
already two postoffices of that name
in Alaska, one of them is a small
mining camp on Lynn canal, the oth
er a small fishing village on Bristol
bay.
Permit me to suggest that tne great
service rendered by Secretary Seward
in the purchase of Alaska would be
more appropriately commemorated in
the bestowal of his name upon t
town likely to become the metropolis
of Alaska, and in time one of the im
portant cities of the Pacific coast,
rather than in its use to designate a
temporary mining camp V a summer
fishing village.
li you agree wan inis view ana can
do so with pr ) riety, I earnestly re
quest that you intercede with the
posioffice \ partment to the end that
the name "Seward” be given to a
postofiice at the new towm on Resur
rection Bay, in accordance wTith a pe
tition on file in the office of th*
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General.
I have the uonor to be, with great
respect, very truly yours, -■*
JOHN E. BALLAINE.
On the margin in President Roose
velt’s handwriting is the notation:
My Dear Mr. Bristow: I heartily
agree with the patriotic setnimehts
expressed by Mr. Baliaine. T. R.
Tells of Interview
Mr. Baliaine told the Gateway an
interesting story about the results:
“I went with that letter straight to
Mr. Bristow’s office in the Postoffice
Department,” said he. “I greeted Mr.
Bristow pleasantly, handed him the
letter, which he read, and waited
while he read it. He turned to the
marginal endorsement in President
Roosevelt’s writing, signed ‘‘T. R.’,
then without a moment’s hesitation
touched an electric button. Soon the
head of a Bureau entered. Mr. Bris
tow said to him:
“ ‘Issue an order discontinuing
the other two Sewards in Alaska and
another one establishing a postoffice
under the name of Seward at Resur
rection Bay. Also make out an order
appointing Lillie Gordon postmistress
at this new Seward, as Mr. Ballaine
has requested. The President asks
that the name ‘Seward’ be given to
the new town on Resurrection Bay
for patriotic reasons, *ncr I heartly
agree with him.’
“Within ten minutes,” continued
Mr. Ballaine, “the Bureau chief re
turned with the necessary orders,
which Mr. Bristow signed. It was the
same Joseph Bristow who subse
quently was United States senator
from Kansas.
“I went with another letter, also
endorsed on the margin by President
Roosevelt, requesting the Commis
sioner of the General Land Office to
take prompt action in approving the
survey of the Alaska Central Rail
way. The Commissioner had the sur
vey approved and ready for me by 4
o’clock that afternoon.
“The two initials, ‘T. R.,’ accom
plished for me in a few minutes 'what
otherwise would have taken months.
That was the way ‘T. R.’ transacted
business wThen it was deserving.”
Frank Skeen left this afternoon fer
points down the bay.
TWELVE HOUR DM
