The Anchorage Times announces
“that while other papers in the Ter
ritory have reported the rumor, the
Times is the first paper to officially
announce that fact.” The Gateway
published the news of Mr. Staser’s ap_
pointment over a month ago. receiving
the advice from a private letter from
Juneau. The Gateway also published
the news of the influenza epidemic to
the westward three weeks before it
was given out by the Associated Press
dispatches. The fact is that the Gate
way has the best group of correspon
dents that furnish news to any paper
in Alaska, and generally comes out
with the really important news from
three weeks to a day ahead of its
nearest competitor.
Now that the Standard oil tanks
are assured, our people are beginning
to show a little more optimism and
less fault-finding. There is nothing so
exhilarating as success, and Seward
has certainly been strangled long
enough to have quit its existence save
for the fact that climatic conditions
and location made it impossible to do
without the harbor. We believe our
worst days are over and that from
now on a good healthy growth will
-be apparent.
Seward should have a weather bu- j
reau. Practically every other coast !
town has daily reports forwarded to
the states, which makes for good ad
vertising. Like the customs office, it
is easy to get when the movement is ;
once started. Let’s go!
It is reported on good authority;
that with the entrance of the Stan-;
dard Oil company to Seward, another!
large cold storage will be erected
here. Our informant refuses to tell
us the name of the company, but as
sures us its coming is certain, depen
dent upon securing the oil tanks.
The death of Capt. C. A. Jansen at
Ketchikan this week, reminds us that
the old timers are falling out of the
ranks quite rapidly these days. Capt.
Jansen had been identified with the
Territory so long he was regarded as j
a permanent fixture. His death re-1
moves a warm friend and a capable<
master.
Last week w'as a busy one from a
marine standpoint. At no time during
the week were there less than tour
steamers in <he bay, or at our
wharves. The vessels comprising the
survey fleet will be along pretty soon
and they will be in this vicinity for
several weeks.
While we will admit it is more eco
nomical the town presents a depress
ing appearance with no street lights.
One of the chief attractions of Seward
ard was its appearance as one came
into the bay, with its glittering
lights and well lighted appearance.
A town like a kid may be starved by
too much economy.
