No one but the brave skippers know the hazauL
that beset navigation to the Westward, reaching a
the way from the entrance to Resurection Bay to the
head of Cook Inlet and the Aleutian islands. That there
are not more tragedies of the sea appears to be due to
an uncanny sense of navigation by those who take
ships and small crafts through these waters. #
With the second highest tide in the world, reaching
34 feet, which at times runs at the speed of a millrace,
navigators of the Susitna have played hi-spy with mud
flats and sandbars for many years. Now7 that there
are a dozen or more small boats using this route into
the interior of the Susitna valley, the dangers of ac
cident have multiplied until a real menace exists.
It is hoped that the aids asked for will be granted,

we wonder if the Jew, the Protestant, the Catholic or
the Mohammedans brought it into bloom.

Once again oldtimers of Seward
have the pleasure of grasping
Frank Woodman by the hand
and enjoying a brief visit with
him.
Mr. Woodman, came in from
Moose Pass the oher day to pur
chase his winter’s outfit and a
side from being bothered a little
with rheumatism is just as hale
and hearty as in the days of yore^
some 40 odd years ago when he I
first came to Alaska. He wears ;
his almost 80 years lightly and
upon leaving town will begin con- I
struction of buildings up in the !
Pass country.
It was he who built some of the |
first canneries in the Territory !
as well as buildings in Sitka.
Once each year he leaves his
wilderness home to come to Sew
ard for supplies and these annual
journeys are always awaited with
eagerness by his many friends here.
He has been putting in a lot of time
motoring, friends taking him about
and showing him that Moss Pass
is not the only part, of this section
which boasts of good roads.
On its last trip of the season to
Bristol Bay the S. S. Starr left
port yesterday afternoon, ladden
with 200 tons of freight the big
gest load the vessel has taken
out of Seward for several years.
Mrs. S. Halvorsen and two
children were passengers on the
S. S. Starr yesterday for Seldovia.
_
The S. S. Admiral Evans, of the
Pacific Steamship Company, I
j arrived in port today from the I
I south bringing a few passengers
and a small general crago.

SEASON ENDING
The navigation season on the
xanana and Yukon rivers will end 1
this month. The last Alaska Rail- |
road boat will leave Nenana for i I
down river ports about September ! I
12 and the last upriver sailing to
Dawson from Nenana will be about I
September 22.
TOUGH LUCK
Unless Cordova can secure addi
tional data to show why the Odiak
Slough proposed harbor improve-’
ment would be of substantial bene
fit to navigation and the public at
large, it appears improbable that
‘federal money will be expended for
this project which would be of such
material benefit to the town.
“THE BAT” AT LIBERTY
About once a year a stage play
comes out that takes the country
by storm. The successful ones vary
greatly in theme and staging, but
they all have one element in com
mon and that is the element of
surprise and tense situation. A good
mystery drama is always well sup
ported by the public and when one
comes along that sends creeps up
your spine and also shakes the
sides with laughter it is a sensa
tional success. Of this kind is “The
Bat”, from the way it took in the
states it should prove rare enter- .
tainment. It is reported that many j
of the theatres showing the stage ;
version had to have a doctor and :
nurse in attendance to take care of i
the many people overcome by ex- |
'citement.
