FEELING BETTER
There is a feeling of relief—well, not hardly that, j
because these hardy mariners in Southwestern 'Alaska
don't count on anything much but the goodness of God
and their good right arms, but there is a feeling of glad-!
ness that the U. S. Coast Guard Cutter Chelan and Unal- j
ga are now stationed in these waters to keep a sort of a
parental eye on the brave fishing lads during this stormy !
month of March. Not that they anticipate any trou-1
hie but these oldtimers swab their heads with satisfaction
and say its sort ‘o comforting to know that a couple of
Uncle Sam’s staunch ships are standing by.
Its a new feeling to this region. Its new and its j
pleasant. It relieves the old tension; the old dread of
sometimes overwhelming odds. There have been times
many and oft when gallant fishermen have battled the
elements of these southwestern coasts knowing that if
they failed or their engines ceased functioning there
was no possible help within a thousan miles.
Its comforting to have some of Uncle Sam’s boys
cruising around along the banks ready to give a fellow
a hand if trouble comes. You betcha mate; pass that
snuse box.
HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL
The good news brought to Seward by Colonel Ohl
son, general manager of the Alaska Railroad, of the j
many items of improvement in the offing, together with
the arrival of sunshiny days, seems to have shaken off !
the winter’s lethargy; everything seems to have taken
on a rosier hue. It is true, indeed, that ‘hope springs
eternal in the human breast.’
The e isn’t a doubt about it at all: we now have a
manage i oi our railroad who plainly sees the needs of
the country; not the railroad, alone, but the entire Terri
tory, as is evidenced by his interest in projects and devel
opment in ( d cr portions of Alaska.
We are glad to note what he had to say about the
long-awaited breakwater in Resurrection Bay; a harbor
of refuge for small and large vessels. Again the abso
lute necessity for this was seen Sunday when the easter
ly gale compelled the big liner Yukon to pull away from
the railroad dock and seek what shelter it could down
The bay, returning to the dock when the gale had sub
sided—a day later.
The project has been approved all the way down the
Hue and without question it is only a matter of a short
time when activity on this proposed project wll begin.
Extremely Severe
Weather Encountered
I
Captain C. E. Anderson of the S. j
9. Starr reports encountering ex
tremely severe weather on the
Westward journey. The steamer
suffered considerable delay on ac
count of icing down numerous
times. Several gales were also in i
evidence as well as thick weather.
Th most trying part of the trip |
was crossing from Uyak to Kanatak
as the strait hung heavy with mists j
•end the glass stood below
13ie zero mark. Jack Wicks, of
Karluk. made the trip across the
same day as the Starr but was!
nearly lost on his return from the !
mainland to Karluk. His life boats
were washed overboard while he
and his companion suffered frosted
feet.
S. S. STARK ARRIVALS
The incoming list of passengers
last evening on the S. S. Starr were
as follows: R. Mounts. Axel Sam
u els on, Thomas Nelson, Andrew (
Nelson, M. Goldstein, Axel William
son. T. Stolsen. A1 Daily. O. Borg, j
C. Halverson, Mr. and Mrs. J. C.
Lowe. Marie Ressef, Jack Tansy, E.
Akesan, R. Casperson. Ben Benson,
Arthur Lowell.
M. Goldstein arrived on the Starr
front the Westward with $50,000
worth of fur, mostly blue foxes. Mr.
Goldstein made the round-trip
on the Starr and, after a brief
run over to Anchorage, returns
and heads for his Seattle head
quarters.
SUFFERS SEVERE FALL i
Suffering a severe fall last j 1
night upon the icy waks, T. W. j
Hawkins, head of Brown & Haw- ; %
kins Corp., and the Bank of Sew- j
ard, is confined to his bed to-'p
day. Mr. Hawkins fell squarely i
on his back but, fortunately, no • ■
ribs were broken, according to | *
Dr. H. W. Hyatt, but he was I
bruised exceptionally bad.
It is estimated that the S- S
Starr brought in about $200,000
worth of fur this trip.
. i
. • ■ i
The meeting scheduled for Wed- |
nesday, by the Ladies Aid of the
Community church, has been post
poned until March 12.
C. Halverson arrived on the S. S.
Starr from Sanak. About three j
weeks ago he accidently shot him- j
self in the foot with a shot gun. !
Under the care of T. Stolsen the j
wound has been progressing nicely \
ind it is believed that his foot will i
be saved.

3. S. Starr. He came for medical 1
attention.
