there; the Kodiaks, the Alaska Pen
insula, the Aleutian Islands, Bris
tol Bay and the Pribilofs. That
Seward is the home port for over
50 port calls to the Westward.
Why this portion of the Alaskan
coast needs more aids to naviga
tion and why a coast guard cut
ter should be stationed in this
area, not thousands of miles away
for from this area to the far West
I ward, many mariners describe the
waters as the roughest in the world.
Why the horse should be put
before the cart, not the reverse,
with respect to coal bunkers in Se
ward to supply the coastal market
and incoming ships.
That the alleged terrible grade
over the nearby mountains are a
mere bag-o-tails as compared to
mountain grades in the Rockies
* and elsewhere.
Why the extension of si ramer
service from the oPrt of Seward
to the lower Kuskokwim, should
be advocated.
Why cold storage plant,s for
reindeer and fish, should locate
here.
Why Ressurection Bay has often
been said to be the finest natural
* harbor on the Pacific Coast.
Our importance to the Orient.
Why, here, is a i atural base for
planes, operating to every point.
That Seward is the hub of the
wheel for this entire portion of
Alaska; a map reveals this in
stantly.
The importance of the Port of
Seward to Interior Alaska.
That the annual agitation at
Washington w'ith regards to Alas
ka is one reason why growth of
■not only the railroad belt but all
of Alaska is retarded. Everyone is
restless, constantly, not knowing
what Congress may do next year.
The result is only the immediate
necessities and improvements are
♦
made.
That Congress has the wrong
viewpoint when it says the Alaska
Railroad should pay its own way.
What railroads in the pioneering
days of the West paid their way?
What about those which went in
to the hands of the receivers? Of
the mililons of acres of land and
subsidies given to assist them, etc. j
If the Alaska Railroad was built
*to help develop Alaska, it is a suc
cess; it is doing that. If it was
built as a massive business invest
ment, it is, so far, a rank failure.
But. if Congress would pour mil
lions into the Territory, construct
extensions and spur lines, remove
resrictions, and t’;e world is told
of these things, overnight thous
ands would rush to settle in Alas
ka
It is up to Washington, not Alas
likans, to make or break this glor
ious frontier.
We have great hopes that Sena
tor Howell and his colleagues will
see these things from the Alaskan
viewpoint for we have consistently j
stated, since the first dispatches
received telling of the coming in
vestigation, that such an invest
igation can not harm Alaska but
the Senatorial party can help us
a great deal by devising ways and
paeans to start off in another dir- ,
ection which will help us to pro- |
gress and develop cur naural herit
age.

“ Smithy ” took his first
gulp of steaming coffee only to
spring from the table and shout,
in no mean superlatives, his ac
cumulated opinion of all practical
jokers and a certain one in parti
