\ HARBOR AT ANCHORAGE
FROM THE CORDOVA TIMES
While Anchorage might possibly serve as a har
bor for large steamers, and thus cut out the Seward to
Anchorage division of the Alaska Railroad, as. sug
gested by a Cook Inlet skipper several days ago, it ap
pears to* us that such a program would be on a par
with the actual abandonment of the entire road.
There is no reason to believe that development
along the right of way from Seward to Anchorage has
not been as great as from Anchorage to Fairbanks.
In fact, it would possibly be easier to make a case for
the abandonment of the interior division than for that
skirting the coast.
Cordovans, of course, realize that any program re
ducing the mileage on the Alaska Railroad would ben
efit the Copper River Gateway. Cordovans realize, as
do all fair-minded Alaskans, that the Copper River
Valley provides the shortest and most logical route
to the interior country now served by the Alaska Rail
road.
The Alaska Railroad is not a point to point sys
tem. If it were we would fight for the cause of. aban
donment and the diversion of travel through this val
ley, as it was ten years ago.
The Alaska Railroad is presumably a developing
factor for the oft-heralded resources along the right
of-way. Theoretically, at least, the first five miles are
as important as the last five.
We are somewhat dismayed, rather than amazed,
that any Alaskan resident would advocate the aband
onment of the Seward division. "It is a short-sighted
policy, a narrw perspective, which hints at the aband
onment of the entire road.
There are times when it is best to forget the mis
takes which have been made in starting a project, and
Cordova, with greater generosity than any other Alas
ka town, remembering the early history of. the Alaska
Railroad, forgets these mistakes, is^ working for the
entire Alaska Railroad, Seward to F airbanks, and pi o
tests against the selfishness of views expressed in An
chorage. .
Sourdough Bill after a long and searching inves
tigation has found that the height of ambition for
many Seward folk is to take a ride in Dorbandt’s air
plane.
Judging from comments brought over from An
chorage yesterday The Gateway’s general story as to
the results of the recent Senatorial investigation of the
Alaska Railroad and public hearings, was not. accept
ed with much enthusiasm. However, the mail did bring
in a number of new subscriptions from Anchorage.
Strange?
Miniature golf is solving the unemployment prob
lem. It takes half of the unemployed to build them and
the other half to play on them.
From Anchorage, a small town itself, comes the re
port that the advance investigator for the Senatorial
party, Frank A. Harrison, was just a nosey, small
town editor. Anchorage forgets that 95 per cent of the
so-called big-town editors are recruited from the small
town. But in the meantime we are wondering what
Harrison did to Anchorage.
One wireless that they won’t move over to An
chorage is The Gateway’s “Snow-shoe Wireless.”
There have been a few politicians buzzing around
these parts recently but so far we have seen no cigars.
