TIME TO WAKE UP
As matters now stand Seward means little to t e
Westward beyond the fact that it is the port from 'which
the mail conies. This is true despite Sewards happy lo
cation as the Gateway to the Westward as well as the
Gateway to the Interior. We step on our own feet in our
hurry ro be identified with anything going on in the In
terior. We do not know what’s going on out to the West
ward until after it has happened.
Seward is in position to be of distinct assistance in
the problems to the Westward and would reap a corres-|
ponding gain. Seward, thru its civic bodies should look
into the problems of navigation of the Westward. At |
this moment it might be of assistance in securing the
proper charting and marking of the southwest entrance ,
to St. Paul Harbor at Kodiak. Seward should lend ite|<
voice in seeming additional lights and bouys at a num- i1
her of places where they have long been needed.
Seward should adopt the means of openng up the:1
coal market of the Westward. Out there they are pay-:
ing outrageous prices for coal when an excellent fuel
can be landed for $8.00 per ton on the Seward dock.
Seward should contrive to become a factor in the
fur market of the Westward. Hundreds of thousands of j
dollars of Westward furs goes thru Seward without aj
dollar of profit accruing to this city.
Seward should take a hand in the growing live
stock business of the Westward, not only supplying a
market but in helping to raise the capital to stock the j
\Ves tw: i itI }*anges.

ALASKA’S NATURAL WONDER
(The Seattle Times)
The scientific expedition which the National Geo
graphic Society will send to the Valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes in Alaska next summer will serve to direct pub
lic* attention again to that great natural wonder. Word
nas come jrom the North that important seismic distur
bances have occurred there within the last few years;
fissures have closed and there has been an interesting
shifting about of the thousands of fumaroles. Dr. Rob
ert F. Griggs, who discovered the wonderful valley 14
years ago, will head the party.
When Dr. Griggs made his report in 1916 the coun
try was amazed at the phenomena he described. The
smoky valley, lying near the nead of the greatest group
of volcanoes in the world, was terrifying and awe-inspir
ing. Hot vapors gushed forth from openings in the val
ley floor, acrid gasses, steam and sulphurous smokes
clouded the atmasphere. To the casual observer, the val
ley appeared like the pit in Dante’s “Divina Comedia.”
... automobile roads and hotels been built, it is
likely that tourists would have flocked to the Valiev of
Ten Thousand Smokes, As a spectacle it is unexcelled
anywhere. The summer tripper who walked among its
fumaroles and hot rocks would have had something to
discuss for the rest of his life. *
Recently The Seward Gateway expressed reovet
that something had not been done to make the journey
attiactive uO tourists. Among other things that Alaska
newspaper said: ^ u /iiasKa
inu vaney ot len Thousand Smokes
ls a,ready advertised the world over We
are wondering how long it will be before
someone will have the courage, energy and
money o provide the transportation and
accomodations for the thousands of tour
ists who would travel there.

this medicine brought back my

“I hadn’t been well for over two
years, and suffered so from indi

eating so much.

23,(/P)-Ensign C. C- Ward didn’t
qualify for the Caterpillar club, yet
his parachute carried him to safe
ty.
Forced down to the ocean 10
miles west of here when his naval
scouting plane ran out of fuel, the
aviator rigged his parachute as a
sail and successfully beached in a
sh?ltered bay near the eastern end
of Gonave island.
Neither plane nor pilot suffered
any ill effects, and a day later they
were found by a rescue ship.
It is reported that the local
dry officer, Boyce, who has been
j stationed within the coporate
limits of the city of Seward for
lo, these many months, has been
transferred to the City of Destiny,
Anchorage, the future Minneapolis
of Alaska.
The fur catth throughout the
Westward this season has been
about two-thirds as that of last
season, it is reported.
Jack McCord, Westward cattle
man, sheep raiser and fur farmer, !
expects to leave tomorrow* for An- !
chcrage on a brief business trip.
