BRING THE RAILROAD BELT TO SEWARD
It is seldom that Alaskans in this area of the Ter
ritory are given the opportunity to view a warship but
on the 21st of this month Seward will have two such
vessels in port—two destroyers—the Wasmuth and the
Perry on which arrive the three Senators forming the
Senatorial investigating committee, and Rear Admiral
Coontz, retired.
Nothing will be overlooked, locally, to make the
visit of the sailormen—about 300 strong—as pleasant
and entertaining as possible. The “Keys to the City”
will undoubtedly be turned over to them. They won’t
abuse the honor and privilege, we know.
It is going to be a mighty joyous occasion for all
concerned.
But we want everybody along the railroad belt to
enjoy this visitation so why wouldn’t it be an appropri
ate time for The Alaska Railroad to run an excursion
here; give special round-trip fares to run an excursion
Personally, we think the idea is a good one feeling
that many residents of the railroad belt will welcome
the opportunity of taking a brief respite from their
manifold and arduous duties and, for a day or so. “join
with the Navy and see the world.”
