.touches,” he said, ‘‘and, in my opinion,
the railroad should have been routed
through that district. Not only from
a scenic standpoint, but on account
of the vast potential resources which
abound there. Both the placer and
quartz properties will some day fur
nish great tonnage for the railroad.
The agricultural outlook is amazing;
great level fertile valleys are there
which hardly need a plow.
“We drove all the way to Sunrise
over the old and the new highway and
let me tell you that there is a high
way which surpasses in beauty the
nationally known Columbia highway.
The grandeur of the country was a
constant source of marvel to Mrs.
Johansen and myself. I never dream
ed such a valuable asset lay so close
to Seward; and practically unherald
ed. The long highway which the Bu
reau of Public Roads department has
had under construction for the past
few years will be completed this fall,
according to present indications, and
not too much can be said in praise
of the splendid work accomplished.
The road runs along at a good even
grade; it is wide, well surfaced and
smooth. It is a keen delight to drive
over it. All we need now is to have
the Moose Pass road connected up
from Mile IS, at the end of the Sew
ard-Kenai lake highway, to Mile 29,
i
and Seward motorists will then be
able to boast of a system of roads un
beatable by any town in the Terri
tory with the possible exception of j
Fairbanks. To Seward business firms !
I
the procuring of this connecting link \
should be their objective until they
succeed. Another link, which would
mean a big revenue to Seward, would
be the extension of the highway
down to Kenai. Not only that but it
would serve as the first step in popu
lating one of the finest sections of
the Territory. At the present time it
is said there are just as many people
residing in the Kenai district as there
are in Seward and around this vicinity.
A road such as I am speaking of '
would serve as an inducement for
others to take up land down there.
Now is the time for the people of
Seward to get started in bringing the
Bureau of Public Roads department
attention to the vital need of the con
struction of these two connecting
links. From Mile IS to Mile 29 and
from the Moose Pass road down to
the town of Kenai!”
THREE BUILDINGS ON
FOURTH ST. OF STUCCOED
Gerhard Johnsen and his crew of
stucco artists erected scaffolding yes
terday in front of the Overland hotel
and is today, nailing on wire netting
preparatory to giving the building a
coat of stucco. Upon completion of
this front it is learned that the Wayne
Blue building will be stuccoed and
also the Fred C. Miller barber shop.
It is not hard to conceive just to what
extent these improvements will en
hance the appearance of Seward’s
main avenue.
