RICHEY IMPRESSED WITH PERMANENCE OF
ALASKA’S POPULATION
“I am particularly impressed with the permanence of
Alaska’s population,” said Mr. Lawrence Richey, Assist
ant to Secretary Hoover, to a representative of the Gate
way, last night on his return from a somewhat extensive
visit to Cook Inlet points.
Mr. Richey, accompanied by Mrs. Richey, arrived in
Seward about a week ago on board the fisheries patrol
vessel “Brant” and went from here to Anchorage, where
Mrs. Richey remained, while Mr. Richey visited various
points on Cook Inlet. He then had a few days hunting on
Kenai Peninsula, and was quite pleased with the amount
of game he saw. He shot a good sized moose, the horns of
which he had with him last night.
Commenting on the work of his Department in Alas-1
ka, Mr. Richey said: “I found conditions very much im
proved since my last visit to Alaska. The work accomplish
ed is very satisfactory. My inspection trip convinced me
that the regulations of the Department of Commerce are
working out to our expectations and are showing very
satisfactory results.”
“What impressed me particularly on this trip is the
large amount of permanent building and improvement
throughout the Territory. Substantial buildings are going j
up everywhere, and there is ample evidence that the j
people of Alaska are here to stay and build their homes. |
The old idea of coming in to the country to make a stake
and then leave seems to be a thing of the past, and the
Alaskans I have seen are people who are building their
homes here and are here to stay.”
“You have a good upstanding community, and a de
cent respectable population. Your people, as a whole, are
law-abiding, intelligent and energetic. I look for a great
deal of progress and prosperity in Alaska in the years to
come. I am only sorry that my stay with you has been so
limited, and hope that I may be able to come again next
year and stay longer.”
Mr. and Mrs. Richey returned from Anchorage about
11 o’clock last night on a special gas car and almost im
mediately left on board the Fisheries vessel “Brant” for
the south. They will be joined by Mr. O’Malley, Commis
sioner of Fisheries at either Juneau or Sitka, and will pro
ceed to Seattle, returning thence to Washington, D. C.,
their home.
TEN VESSELS IN ONE DAY
The Gateway, in its Saturday editorial, missed count
by three vessels of the number of deep sea vessels which
were or arrived in port. After the paper went to press
three other boats steamed into port, the Standard Serv
ice, the Derblay, and the lighthouse tender Cedar, bring
ing the grand total up to ten.
Ten vessels in one day! This smashes all existing re
cords and proves conclusively the growing importance of
the seaport of Seward. In a recent issue of the Seattle
Times it was stated the seaport of Seattle expected 37
large steamers to arrive within the week. That is less,
pro rata than the local record. As Captain Johansen would
exclaim: “More power to you \”
SCHOOL DAYS ONCE MORE
Once more the school bell tolls its mournful knell for
Young America. School vacation seems to have passed all
too soon, and the youngsters must again sling their school
bags o'er their shoulders and wend their way to school.
Seward is beginning its school year with a very effi- ;
cient school faculty and the results at the end of the school
year should be more than satisfactory. While it is! to be ,
regretted that a new building could not have been provid- ;
ed, the best must be made of the facilities available.
The Gateway has but one bit of advice to offer the
School Board and the City Council, and that is that both i
forget any differences of opinion M misunderstandings
whicfy have recently been aired in the columns of The Gate
way, for both have but one common aim in view,—the best
possible education for-the children of-Seward that the
money available for that purpose can obtain. Harmony
and cooperation should mark the Work of the two bodies,
and The Gateway feels confident that now that the smoke
of battle has cleared away a better feeling will prevail
and the futility of such conflicts will become apparent to
both participants.
To the faculty of the Seward schools The Gateway
extends a hearty welcome and to its members, as well as
to the children of Seward, its wishes for a successful year.
DEARLY BOUGHT EXPERIENCE
Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr., says his newspaper ven
tures have cost $2,000,000, but he might have spent the
same amount in other directions and learned less.
Now we know where all the rain has gone to this sum
mer. Dry in Alaska and wet'in the States.
