COMMUNICATION
--
Seattle, Jan. 28, 1926.
To the Editor,
Seward Daily Gateway:
The Prosperity Edition of the Sew
ard Gateway was an exceptionally
fine piece of work from beginning
jo end, and I have heard many coin,
mendations of it by prominent merch
ants and bankers of Seattle. What is
more, all who spoke to me on the
subject had read it with special care.
With so much commendation, in
which I heartily concur, I hesitate
to correct, a few minor errors in one
of its unsigned contributions, which
gives a history of Seward and the
building of the Alaska Central rail
way. uut my corrections are wnony
in the interest of accuracy, on points
of history mainly. Without taking
.space to quote the errors, I will sim
ply give corrections:
It was not in 1902 that I made an
examination of Portage Bay as a pos
sible harbor for the terminus of the
Then contemplated Alaska Central,
but in 1901.
It was not in 1902 that I select
ed Resurrection Bay as the termi- ;
nous of the contemplated railroad,
hut in the fall of 1901. I sent survey- ;
ing crews to Resurrection Bay in
June, 1902.
There was no settlement whatever
at Resurrection Bay when I select
ed it as the railroad terminus, except
tile native Lowell family, who liv- !
ed in a log cabin near the beach on
what is now Second avenue.
C. M. Anderson did not discuss

•with me t.he subject of railroad con
struction from a point on the coast
of Alaska to the interior, at any time
during the two years 1901 and 1902,
when I was engaged in examining
possible routes, and lie never heard
of the work I was doing until I had
completed the organization of the Al
aska Central and offered him a posi
tion on our engineering force. He
did not enlist the interest of G. W.
Dickison in the project, nor of any
body else, and was not even ac
quainted with Mr. Dickinson. I had
known Mr. Dickinson since 1893, when
I was on the staff of the Tacoma
Ledger, and Mr. Dickinson was gen
eral superintendent of the Northern
Pacific, residing in Tacoma. I en
listed the interest of Mr. Dickinson
and of all others who served with
me on the board of directors of the
Alaska Central, without the help or
knowledge of Mr. Anderson.
When I started and organized the
Alaska Central I was not an “offi
cer on the staff of Governor John It.
Rogers,’’ and had not been since
1S9S, when I resigned as Adjutant
General of Washington to accept a
commission in the First Washington
Infantry for service in the Spaish
American war. After returning from
the Philippines in November, 1899, I
became associated with the Moore
Investment Company in Seattle, and
was in that occupation when 1 un
dertook the promotion of the Alaska
Central.
W. H. Whittlesey was not chief
clerk of the Alaska Central in 1902
or at any other time, and had no con
nection of any kind with headquar
ters of the Alaska Central. He serv
ed as clerk for Mr. Anderson, one
of our engineers, in Alaska during
the summer of 1902.
With these minor exceptions, the
article in question is mainly correct.
Very truly yours,
JOHN E. BALLAINE.
ANOTHER OLD ALASKAN
GOES TO HIS -REWARD
Frank Edward Clark who died
suddenly at his home at Kake where
he owned a fox farm, his body hav
ing ben brought to Juneau a week
ago today by his wife and son, was
buried from the Methodist church
her Sunday afternoon, appropriate
services being conducted bj Rev. O.
A. Stillman.
Mr. Clark was born in Missouri in
1S69 and came to the Pacific coast
when quite a young man. He first
cam-e to Alaska in 1S9S but soon re
turned to the states. He came north
again in 1901 and again went back
to the states but a year later re
turned north and made his home
here until his death. He resided in
Juneau for several years and was
later associated with Judge V. A.
Paine of the place in the fox busi
ness. Only last year he engaged in
the business for himself.
Mr. Clark is survived by his wife
and son who returned to their home
at Kake this week, and by several
brothers and sister who reside in the
states.

Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm faith
in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system-ris gradually and pains
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and, that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
