A. S. KERRY, A

VISITS SEWARD
ONE OF MOST OUTSTANDING MEN
IN BUSINESS WORLD OF
PACIFIC NORTHWEST.
SOURDOUGH KERRY
}
)
V
Prominently Identified with Alaska’s
Interests for Many Years—
Heads Seattle Dept..
One of the Northwest's most prom
inent figures, A. S. Kerry, accompa
nied by Mrs. Kerry, arrived in Sew
ard this afternoon on the steamer
Alaska from Seattle. The visit of
J Mr. Kerry to Seward is more or less
unexpected and owing to the late
ness of the arrival of the vessel, the
itinerary of Mr. and Mrs. Kerry,
could not be obtained in sufficient
time for this afternoon’s paper. Res
ervations have been made at the
} Van Gilder hotel.
Is Sourdough Alaskan.
It is believed the present trip to
Alaska, is Mr. Kerry’s first since he
left the Territory many years ago,
, in the real early days when Alas
1 ka history was made. In those days
Mr. Kerry was a miner in the Daw
son region, and later, operated river
boats. His interest in the Territory
has never waned, and recently, he
has gained much prominence with
his Alaskan oil activities, being joint
ly interested with the General Petro
leum in the Wide Bay oil fields.
Is a Millionaire.
Mr. Kerry now heads the Alaska
Department of the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce; is president of the Se
attle Golf Association; president of
the Board of Directors of the magni
ficent Seattle hotel, the Olympic, and
is the owrner and president of the
Kerry Railroad, at Kerry, Oregon.
In addition to these mentioned he is
probably the outstanding and most
influential business man in the Pa
cific Northwest, and is actively en
gaged in many other enterprises,
among which is the lumber industry.
As far as is known locally he is the
first millionaire to visit Seward this
summer.
Backer of Jack McCord.
Jack McCord, the future John D.
of Alaska, has been substantially as
sisted in his Alaskan oil ventures
by Mr. Kerry, without whose finan
cial assistance the splendid progress
made to date by Mr. McCord, could
not have been accomplished. Mr.
Kerry is the principal backer of oil
development in Alaska and through
his efforts much red tape and legis
lation has been done aw*ay with,
clearing the field for immediate ac
tion.
