There are still some people in
Seward who do not know of the
beach drive; the Nash road which,
though rather ragged in spots
and curves about like a corkscrew,
:s nevertheless one of the most
beautiful drives imaginable.
The road is only about three
miles long branching off from the
Seward-Kenai L^ke highway at
the upper end of the second cov
ered bridge, turning right and fol
lowing for a short distance Res
urrection River. The road goes
thru typical rural scenery and
emerges on the beach opposite
Seward and far behind the radio
station.
Though bumpy and rough for
almost its entire length and nar- j
row as the dickens, yet the drive
is worth it.

OPINION ON TOE TARIFF
WASHINGTON, June 21, (/P)—
Repeated requests for comment
:'rom Andrew Mellon, led him to
announce the opinion that “final
enactment of tariff is far from
placing a new obstacle in the way
of business recovery; it will remove
These by eliminating the uncertain
ty'of the last 15 months and by it
will promise more of a business-like
revision in the future and makes
a definite contribution to business'
stability”.

CAMP TO BE ESTABLISHED 9,000
FOOT ELEVATION; WILL RE
MAIN ALL SUMMER
JUNEAU, June 21, (/P)—'With
their goal, the scaling of the high
est peak of Mt. Fairweather, a
party of six, H. B. Washburn Jr.,
Kenneth Olson, Arthur Emmonds,
Eugene Kraetzler and Richard
Hodges, Harvard University stu
dents, accompanied by Ralph
Batchelder, left last night for Let
uya Bay on a gas boat one-half
hour after their arrival from the
states.
The main exploration camp is
expected to be established at a 9.000
foot elevaton on the mountain
slope.
The expedition expect to remain
in the field all summer and return
early in September.
The only trouble with the new
Seward General Horoital is that
after an inspection rf the prem
ises is that one rather gains the
idea he or she wou*’ like to get
sick and stay there for a while.
And when a hospital makes one
feel that way it must be a “pip.”
The Seward hospital is that in
every sense of the word!
Where ever possible glaring
white walls have been supplanted
with color, the rooms are large,
extra well lighted and ventilated;
the entire arrangement of the
various rooms and offices could
hardly be conceived more ideal.
The equipment is second to none
in Alaska the surgical, operating,
labratories. etc., being models of
their type. t
At a nominal rental the Alaska
Railroad has turned over about
two carloads of furnishings and
many of the essentials in the sur
gery. The City has expended thou
sands in remodeling and equip
ment besides the additional thous
ands which have been donated by
local individuals.
Five contractors, ana ineir
crews, have been engaged in
turning the former school house
into a hospital and they have
made a remarkably fine job of it.
Local citizens have a right to
feel proud and boast of their hos
pital for it is absolutely modern
and is said to be without doubt
unexcelled in the Territory. It is
not hard to believe this after go
ing thru the institution.
And heading the hospital is
Dr. Haverstock, for years chief
surgeon and physician of the An
chorage government hospital, a
man whose professional services
are widely known throughout the
entire Territory. It is said that al
ready practically every bed in
the hospital will be occupied
the moment workmen leave and
the majority of these patients are
from out-of-town.
About July 1, contractors say,
everything will be in readiness
and the hospital turned over to
the city, completed in all respects.
Seal fur of Alaska during the
years 1919 to 1928 produced $9,725,
74293.

said the significantly “normal rela

and France can be guaranteed only
by a strict reciprocity in case the
tariff commission is unable to give
satisfaction; that France must
‘face the situation’ ” he said.

That the noise of the escape was

was the belief of Sheriff W. F.
Jones, following an investigation

were slashing further to 16 15 and
even 14 cents.
