HONORING SEWARD
(From the Juneau Empire)
The movement of the Seward Chamber
of Commerce to raise funds thru Alaska and
among former Alaskans now residing in the
States will probably strike a popular chord.
It is fitting that Alaska should erect some
memorial in honor of the statesman who
was mainly instrumental in bringing in
bringing about the acquisition of the Terri
tory by the United States and certainly no
site could be more appropriate than the
town which bears his name.
The movement, while formally fostered
by the Seward business men’s organization,
really was originated by Judge Cecil H.
Clegg, of Fairbanks. He was a recent guest
of the Seward Chamber while he was hold
ing a special term of court in that town. On
that occasion he suggested it was time that
Alaskans erected a monument to Sewards
memory, saying:
In all the Territory of Alaska there
is no permanent monument or statue
to commemorate the memory of Secre
tary Seward, who bought Alaska for
the United States from Russia on
March 30,1867, for $7,300,000. Seward,
which is named after the Secretary,
strikes me as the strategic location for
such a memorial; it being the gateway
to interior Alaska, and I believe it
would be a very simple matter to se
cure the cooperation of every citizen in
Alaska to contribute to a fund for a
permanent memorial within the con
fines of Seward.
Judge Clegg was not mistaken about
the public support which the movement will
be cordially given in the Territory. It wall
probably take some time to carry out the
suggestion to a successful finish but there
is no danger that it will languish from lack
of support.
LIKES THE IDEA
(From the Alaska Weekly)
At a recent meeting of the Seward
Chamber of Commerce Judge Cecil H.
Clegg put forth the suggestion that a sta
tue of William H. Seward be erected in Al
aska and the further idea that the city of
Seward was the proper point for such a tri
bute to the man whose foresight was re
sponsible for the best investment the Unit
ed States ever made.
We like the idea. Alaska should cer
tainly have, within its confines a statue of
Seward and the city of Seward is the place
for it. Such a monument should, of course,
be erected by territorial wide cooperation.
The cities of Alaska are rapidly outgrowing
the provincial attitude which has in times
past often militated against the accomplish
ment of such matters, and we believe that
Alaskans everywhere would gladly con
tribute.
Over a thousand words came in today
about Comdr. Nobile’s flight over the Pole,
and not a word of description of the pole.
The reticence of every man who has ever
seen the pole is such as to arouse the suspi
cion that there is no such thing. Perhaps
it’s only a state of mind.
