SHUMAGIN REGION NEEDS HOSPITAL
Strenuous efforts are being made by residents of the
Shumagin Island region to secure a hospital. Led by
Superintendent Braford of the large Pacific American
Fisheries Cannery at Squaw Harbor, everything possible
is being done to give the people of this important section
of the Westward empire proper medical attention. Al
ready the matter has been taken up with the governor,
but nothing definite has been learned to date.
The need for a hospital was strikingly illustrated this
spring, when the country was visited by a serious epidem
ic of influenza, resulting in four deaths at Squaw Harbor,
spreading later to Unga, where 54 cases were reported.
Several other communities also suffered.
The Gateway would like to see some favorable action
taken in this matter by the Territory. A hospital at either
Unga or Squaw Harbor would be a great aid in building
up this region and inviting more permanent residents.
Mr. Bradford also has repeatedly pointed out the
need of a regular nine months school term at Squaw Har
bor. At present, only three months term is offered in the
summer, but the community has grown to the extent that
the regular term is necessary. The Gateway believes that
better medical and educational advantages are of prime
importance to the development of Westward Alaska and
that only through the medium of hospitals and schools
will the better class of permanent residents be increased.
THE SEAPORT OF SEWARD
Another instance of the activity along Seward’s wat
er front is seen in the present situation, which is but a
glimpse of the port’s average business. Today we find six
vessels in port, the S. S. Alaska, the freighter Oduna, the
S. S. Redondo, the steamer Starr, the Bureau of Fisheries
vessel Brant, the private yacht Westward, besides the
many smaller craft of the fishing fleet.
Governor Sulzer was right when he said, during his
recent visit, that Seward is destined to become the great
est of all Alaska sea ports. Give us Time!
MAXIMUM PUNISHMENT
The autoist whose driver’s license is taken away from
him by the judge gets the maximum punishment. He be
comes a pedestrian.

INSIDE PASSAGE WEST TO
UGANIK RIVALS WRANGELL
The eight hour run from Kodiak up
the inside passage to Uganik bay and
! the Kupreanoff islands rivals any
scenery in the world. The water is as
smooth as glass and one imagines he
is making a trip on a quiet lake. The
little village of Uzinki is passed
beautifully located on a turn in Uzin

the name implies, rivaling the wonder
ful Wrangell Narrows.
