j Chamber of
Commerce Notes
1 Exchanging a communication
s with William Sulzer, ex-governoi
of New York, about railroads in
; Alaska, Mr. Ernest Walker Sawyer
wrote; “Another short but import
■ ant road in the Territory is the
1 link on Kenai peninsula which
; would connect two existing road
systems, one of 20 miles and one of
45 miles to Hope. I have urge d this
on Mr. Fiery." The much de
sired and needed piece of connect
ing roadway which will connect
Seward with Moose Pass and Hope
:s one of the projects that the
Chamber took up with Mr, Sawyer
while he.was serving as Executive
Assistant to Secretary of the Inter
ior Ray Lyman Wilbur.
Several suggestions have been
made as to the most practical man
ner of connecting the two roads;
the crossing of Snow River being
the principal problematic point.
The idea of a ferry from Mile 18 on
the Highway has been advanced,
while some cling to the plan of
crossing with the railroad at Mile
14. Forest Ranger Sherman sug
gests, as most practical, a trestle
across the flats at the head of Ken
ai Lake from Mile 18 on the auto
rotd. At this point the structure
would not he subject to the danger
iof being carried away occasionally,
as at Mile 14. Also, making the
|crossing from Mile 13 would keep
the entire present road in continu
ous use and, greatly in its favor,
j would render unnescessary con
struction of four miles of new road
way, Mile 14 to 18. on the opposite
side of the lake.
On the heels of communication
from Delegate Sutherland that the
Resurrection Bay refuge harbor
had been dropped from the Rivers
and Harbors bill, came copies of
I Ernest Walker Sawyer’s vigorously
worded nrotest to Senator W. L.
Jones, chairman of the Senate Ap
propriation Committee. Mr. Sawyer
quoted the reasons set forth by the
Seward Chamber of Commerce as
to whv shelter harbor should be
created, and wrote—“I think it un- j
reasonable that this item should
have been left out of the present
bill”. After the Senator’s reply
that he “would do what he could to
have the item reinserted”, the
Chamber invoked the cooperation
of other interests and several ad
ditional messages urging that Mr.
Sawyer plea be heard, were hastily
dispatched to Chairman Jones. Net
results: cable advice from the
delegate on May 27. that: “Rivers
and Harbors bill ,as reported in the
Senate, carries items for Resurrec
tion Bay shelter harbor.

LOTS OF SERVICE
While enroute from Port Heiden,
|in the Bering Sea, to Unalaska, on !
■the voyage just completed, Capt. j
jC. E. Anderson, master of the S. S. i
Starr, stopped his ship for a short j
ispell to permit the catching of a !
! few fresh codfish for next day’s
i dinner. It fell to Chief Engineer
|Sheridan to do the honors; he
caught one small flounder and a
jgood size cod. Passengers declared
he was lucky; he called it ability.
Across the narrow stream-way j
flowing in front of Dutch Harbor,
and on a small grass-covered hill
side, a band of good sized sheep
with thick coats of wool, peacefully ;
graze regardless of all excitement
created by the arrival of steamers
from the south.
What was at first thought to be
30 whales frollicking about in the
cold water of Akutan Bay proved
to be but a bunch of the so-called '
‘swede whales”; black fish. So say
arrivals on the steamer Starr.
