LAYING THE GHOST
When you come to look at it right in the face,
isn’t it the low down, nefarious, double-distilled crime
that this poor, misguided pioneer who is trying to de
velop Westward Alaska should have to pay at the rate
of $35 a ton for coal that cost less than $5 a ton to put
on the cars at the mine and then is brought nearly 3,000
miles as ballast and right at his very door is a better
coal with a railroad in which he is part owner to carry
it, and which coal could be laid at his door with a
profit of $15 a ton. M
To be most charitable this can be called “econ
omically unsound.” as the fat senators say about the
tariff while they tinker gleefully and raise the rates
to protect our perishing manufacturers and to help
the farmer. It is also a paradox and an anachronism;
a mistake and darnfoolishness. All Alaskans have shout
ed about it for years, ever since the government started
a railroad to open up the Matanuska coal fields and
then decided to go on to the Nenana fields and then
to the gold fields of Fairbanks. After all the years no
one knows where to put the finger on the real seat of
the trouble and Westward Alaskans are still paying two
prices for Outside coal while the government makes up
a deficit every year to operate its railroad which was
originally built to bring cheaper coal to the markets
of the Pacific Coast.
It is only within the past year that some glim
mer of hope has come to brighten the situation, or
since Colonel Ohlson assumed the reins of management
of the Alaska Railroad. He has been making a valient
effort to get the mines to produce a better grade of coal
and he has promised to get it down to Seward docks in
better shape. It is now up to the coal companies to sell
themselves to the Westwarders again because some
years ago they sold a practically worthless lot of
Alaska coal to both Southwestern and Southeastern
Alaska and these markets are still sore about it.
However, the markets are there and in the final
analysis, Alaskans are patriotic enough to patronize the
home market if they can get a good article and break
even on Outside competition. In this instance there
should be no question. They should get a better article
of coal ad a better price by far while the coal companies
made a profit and the railroad increased its operating
income. The coal companies must go after these markets
by intensive cultivation and deliver a dependable pro
duct. They will have every cooperation of the railroad
on the promise of Colonel Ohlson and finally this ghost
of an economically unsound situation in Alaska will be
laid.
From the Golden Gate of San Francisco to the Gol
den Gate of Seward, Alaska. How’s that for a new slo
gan?

FRAIL WOMAN EXHIBITS GREAT
STRENGTH; SEEKING CON
STANTLY ESCAPE JAIL
KODIAK, Oct., 28, (Special to the
!Gateway)— After having wandered j
in the hills of Shuyak Island for I
many hours in a demented condi- |
tion, Mrs. F. K. Summerland, 22- i
| years-old and a native of Ouzinkie,
was found in an exhausted condi
tion and was brought here by O. L.
Grilles on his motorship Oregon j
| Wolf and it believed to be violently ;
insane.
| On the way over from Ouzinkie !
she broke several windows in the
: cabin of the Oregon Wolf with her
bare hands in an attempt to jump
into the sea. She was badly cut
about the fingers and wrists before
the crew of the boat could subdue
her as they had no fare-warning of
her intent.
Mrs. Sumeriantl and her husband
have made their home on Shuyak }
for some weeks but earlier in the j
summer they had worked for
George Hogg at his small cannery ;
on Blue Fox Island where the first j
signs of mental unbalance were j
noted but not considered serious.
In her present state she visualizes j
impending calamity and seeks ever
to escape into the open, exhibiting
wonderful strength for a frail wo
man. She was lodged in the local
jail with a matron in attendance
night and day and with additional
help handy if necessary and extra
precautions against assaults on the
bastile windows. She will be kept
here for a few days for observation
and if no improvement is shown
wil doubtless be sent outside on the
next boat.
