LET THERE BE LIGHT
The government still backs the Alaska Railioad
and the Alaska Railroad still justifies its existence.
There are other things, however, which the government
should do to round out complete plans for its success.
In the matter we have in mind it would not cost
the government much but it would have a marked effect
in the traffic in and out of Resurrection Bay.
We refer to proper lighting of the approach to
Resurrection Harbor; the erection of a lighthouse.
The oldtimers and those wise to the coast can make
the haven of the bay blind-folded; but the stranger
may be at a loss and must summon a pilot to reach Sew
ard docks.
This is not as it should be, in view of the tact that
the Port of Seward is rapidly increasing in patronage
among which is much foreign commerce entirely un
familiar with our shores.
There are some lights, to be sure, but there are not
enough for new coming pilots, nor enough for oldtim
ers when the devils of the air howl through space to
picnic with the devils of the sea and all becomes a
driving, ruthless, murky expanse of trouble. Alaska
waters are no sinecure for the best of mariners and
her capes and channels are always dangerous. For the
good of all the Territory, for the home-bodies and our
visitors, for the railroad men, the merchant, the fish
ermen, the mnters and the trappers, the miners and
foresters in the hills, we fervently declare: “Let there
be lights upon the Seas!”
Once again: Why did not the so-called, alleged and
what have you, Alaska delegate to congress accompany
any of the many official parties to the Territory this
past summer? (Voice from the distance) Because they
don’t like him back theie! Correct, brother, button up
your collar!
Now that Anne has learned to fly, she may feel
justfied in doing a little back-seat driving with Lindy
at the controls.
The Sourdough rises to remark that life is just
one wagon ride after another. First it is in the baby
carriage, then with a dog team or auto, and last of all,
the hearse.
Chicago judge sentenced a man to sing to his wife
twice a day. Thus do the innocent suffer with the guilty.

the school, followed and he handed
Seward a fine compliment when he
stated that nowhere had he seen
finer, brighter pupils than here. He
stated that he considered the as
sets of a country not so much its j
gold or metals, but its young people
who, tomorrow, become its rulers.
He closed by saying that this city
had secured a talented, efficient
corps of instructors and he made a
plea for a gymnasium, so that those
teachers who have had training in
physical training work, could have
a chance to pass on to the young
boys and girls the benefit of their
knowledge.
Mrs. Groth then rendered a piano
solo which concluded the program.
After this the teachers became the
center of interest, and everyone
met them and gave them a friendly j
individual welcome to the city.
Delicious refreshments were!
then served after an enjoyable j
evening.
