THE MOST MODERN LAUNDRY IN THE TERRITORY

HARRY K AW ABE Prop. —.o.— PHONE MAIN 148
(Continued from Paste Three)
| Central by the Santa Ana was
| built of wood, cleverly painted
! over to make it appear like an
I iron locomotive to fool the public,
j As the Santa Ana tied up at
! the Valdez dock, that landing
| place and the approach to it
; extending for half a mile back
to McKinley avenue were mill
ing masses of thousands of peo
ple, attracted there to see the
“wooden locomotive,” and throw
it in the bay. Captain Schage de
clared that no less than 100 men
promptly jumped from the wharf
j to the deck of the boat, before
! the lines were fast, and with
| their pocket knives began excited
| ly whittling at the locomotive,
in efforts to prove that it really
was wood.
i
!
!
(
I
•Then the word passed silently
among the throngs that it was
a genuine locomotive,—no fool
ing. Within an hour they went
away from that place, and the
wharf was soon alive with the
goods of several merchants in
Valdez who hastily loaded their
stocks for the new terminal city
of Seward.
i
i
That pioneer locomotive, the
: old familiar No. 1 of the Alaska
j Central, is still in use by the
government owned Alaska Rail
road, successor to the Alaska
Central, in hauling passenger
trains both ways over the sec
tion of the main line between
Nenana and Fairbanks
The Santa Ana was built at
Coos Bay, Oregon, in 1900, by H.
R. Reed & Son, especially for
the Alaska trade. It was owned
arid operated on Alaska routes
by the Alaska Clipper Line, the
Northwestern Steamship Com
pany, and lastly by the Santa
Ana Steamship Company. It
called at every port in southern
Alaska at different times thru
all the years from 1900 to the
j present day. It is 182.4 feet over
all, with a beam of 30.2 feet and
I a depth of 12.4 feet.
Like the Mayflower, of New
England’s early beginnings, the
Santa Ana was a pioneer that
1 made a big place in history.
It will be remembered in Sew
ard and Alaska as long as their
annals are read by the genera
! tions of the future.
