Some weeks ago a Gateway editorial dwelling on the
importance of opening the famed Valley of Ten Thous
and Smokes to the World, received national recognition
but since that was written an easy egress and ingress
has been figured out and at a small cost.
From the Port of Seward one would take passage
to Kanatak where already ample accomodations are
available. From Kanatak there is a fair road built which
could be placed in first-class condition for motor traffic
at a cost, it is reliably stated, not exceeding $5,000. This
road, originally built leading to the oil fields, is eleven
miles long and ends at Lake Bechrof.
A three-hour boat trip across this lake to the north
end will shortly be a reality with the completion at Kana
tak by H. N. Evans, of a large power boat. From the
north end of the lake into the Valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes, one of the wonders of the world, is a distance of
but 30 miles. There is a trail there now weaving through
a magnificent scenic country. Guides can be secured at
Kanatak.
The only difficulty at present, as it has ever been in
the past, is the matter of transportation from the Port
of Seward to Kanatak. The Steamer Starr operates on a
monthly schedule from here to the Far Westward and
touches at Kanatak outbound and inbound. But a month
to most of the traveling public, would be too long a per
iod. This is the age of speed. Why, we do not pretend
to know, but nevertheless, it is true and so, providing
quick and dependable transportation is assured from that
day on will sightseers by the thousands will flock into
the Valley to view with their own eyes one of the won
ders of the ages, the thousands of weird fumaroles emit
ting steam and fumes; where one can cook a dinner over
one of these jets, then turn around and put it away in
a natural icebox, glaciers and vast snow banks.
Funny thing! It seems like many mining men are
just awaiting the day when Babcock & Downey, quartz
mine operators at Nuka Bay, cut their first dividend
before taking a real interest in the camp. Well, if that
is what they are waiting for “it won’t be long now”
judging from the big mill and equipment moving down
that way today.
The battle of the ballots is over for a few months.
Tuesday’s primary was just enough to stir up the
blood a bit and so, when the general election rolls
around next Fall, undoubtedly, many of the so-called
old party lines will be split wide open.
Captain Pete Sather, owner of the Kolfe Line, op
erating between the Port of Seward and the Nuka
Bay quartz camp, vows and declares he intends to
emulate Amundsen in running the Northwest Pas
sage, just as soon as the ice goes out. Anyone desiring
to accompany him is asked to write him for reserva
tion. Our money goes down on him providing he does.
Why don’t these prospective sheep and cattle ran
chers investigate the possibilities of the Kenai peninsula
country where conditions are every bit as good as to the
far Westward. Undoubtedly, the transportation problem
is far more economical.
Just to start the ball rolling how about an excur
sion this summer from Seward to McKinely Park? O.K!
It is rumored among local theatrical circles that
Mr. Kuhler, star in “Rip Winkles of 1930” will stage
another impromptu act this evening, at the Liberty
theater, by falling down the other stairs.
That was a “hot” show at the Liberty theater last
night. Read the title; it’s on again Saturday night.
