SEW A RI) BREA K\V ATER
The storms of the past few days again vividly illus
trated why this matter of obtaining a shelter harbor or
a breakwater, for small vessels should never cease for
one moment. Weeks and months roll by and not an
iota of progress is noted. Talking about starting yip ac
tion on this and doing it are vastly different. With to
ports for next year’s rivers and harbors program now
going to Washington, and later before die various
committees, is Seward going to sit in a rocking chaii foi
another whole year?
As all who are interested should know, this project
has been approved but no appropriation made, that s
been the status for the last two years..
For gosh sake! let’s get some action here and put
this over; forget everything else for a while. Besides
the hundreds of smaller craft which would make the
Port of Seward, a marine ways would be built, boat
shops, and dozens of local residents would purchase
motor boats.
Snap out of it!
“We must seek every opportunity to retard the ex
pansion of Federal Bureaucracy and place our commu
nities in control of their own destiny.” Sounds like the
Gateway talking, you say? Well, your wrong brother!
Tack it onto President Hoover.
Truth is stranger than fiction—and scarcer.
We are glad to hear they have discovered a new
potential water-power site in Southeastern Alaska but,
Ahem! we got so many of those doo-hickies up here
that we will gladly donate a few to the boys down there.
Lest one forgets Seward is the place designated by
Maj. Gen. Edgar Jadwin, Chief of Engineers of the
Army, who retired last month, a fine gentleman and a
scholar, as destined to become Alaska’s greatest seaport.

WASHINGTON, Sept., 16, (/P)—
Secretary Stimson said recent de
velopments might necessitate
holding the proposed five-power
naval conference in January in
stead of in December.
The Secretary stated they per- j
haps might be unable to make j
complete preparations before then ,
owing to the necessary messages !
of interexchange some of which
must go by mail.
The long distance between the
countries involved must be taken
into consideration before deter
mining the date.
