THAT BREAKWATER
Owners of fishing craft, the fishermen on these dough
ty little vessels, the residents and business men of Sew
ard are anxiously awaiting news from Washington re
garding the construction of a “Safety Port” for small
boats in Resurrection Bay.
There is no single improvement that we know of, as
badly needed. Only last week during the tail end of the
Spring Equinoxial storms one of the local fishing boats
was damaged and for a time in danger of being totally
wrecked. Several others had to leave their mooringsat
the dock and anchor in the lee of Lowell Point.
We would suggest that this be again taken up by the
Chamber of Commerce with the Seattle Fishing Boat'
Owners Association as with Col. Steese and Dan Suther
land. We must not forget that a shelter harbor for the 1
fishing fleet is the one thing Seward needs more than any-1
thing else.
STAND ASIDE, WOMEN!
Sartorially speaking, mere man certainly is going to
come into his own this spring. In addition to dressing us
in dove-colored spats, Oxford bags, cerise waistcoats, and
cretonne ties, we are to adorn our heads in lace-trimmed
derbies, or turbans of pale blue, mauve, or old rose. Let
the good work go on. We’ll look like a cross between an
autumn sunset and the parlor rug. If the rainbow and
the aurora barealis do not get jealous, then we are no
judge of nature, human or otherwise.
If Ananias had a regular job while he was on earth,
we’ll wager it was editing a garden seed catalog.
UNETHICAL PROPAGANDA
Since Seward is looming in the limelight in becoming
one of the largest air bases in Alaska, with Bristol Bay
the point of advantage, other towns are more or less im
patient and are trying to rush matters, and by so doing
are only mincing them. . .In reading the last Fairbanks
News-Miner, it carried a lengthy article written by the
Anchorage Times, why the Wilkins party “should have had
their base at Anchorage instead of at the town they chose
farther North.” .That Anchorage is suitable for an air
base goes without any argument—but we may add that
ANY town is suitable taking into consideration the ra
dius of the territory which such field should serve. . .It is
logic for Fairbanks to have had for its base the Wilkins
expedition. It is unethical for Anchorage to come out
and claim such right, because Fairbanks wouldn’t have
been picked as a base by these highly trained men, such as
the Winkins party comprise if there wasn’t some advan
tage in the deal.It would be as logic for Seward to have
the distinction thrust upon them that Fairbanks has as
Anchorage. . .Anchorage, we admit has a tine field, so has
Fairbanks, but Seward has one, we think which has them
all backed off the map seven ways for Sunday. . .On the
crest of cur little hill on the Main Street we have a run
way outrivaling anything we have seen in the Territory
and we have seen most of them, so that’s that. Be modest
Anchorage!
TOO MUCH HOSPITALITY
That all the comic and tragic possibilities of prohibi
tion are probably not exhausted is illustrated by an inci
dent recorded in recent press dispatches, which might
form the nucleus of a great movie scenario. Brigadier
General Smedley D. Butler of the Marine Corps, who tried
for several months to clean up Philadelphia, was relieved
from that unfinished business and ordered to military
duty at San Diego, Cal. To welcome the general with,
due hospitality, Col. Alexander Williams, his predecessor,
gave him a big banquet at the Coronado hotel, where it is
said real cocktails were served. Later in the evening
Col. Williams became intoxicated, whereupon his superior
officer and guest, General Butler, had him arrested and
preferred charges against him for drunkenness. The col
onel will likely be courtmartialed for his offense. While
General Butler probably did his duty, it does seem* a shab
by way to treat one’s host.
SEASON STARTS EARLY
The. season’s work on the Alaska Railroad, at least
on this division, has started almost a full three months
earlier than last year which can be taken as a favorable
barometer with which to gauge the amount of increased
general business to Seward and this district of the rail
road belt.
Athletes are about the only males who may dress as
scantily as women and get away with it.
NEW AUTO SHOP OPENS
Leonard Sparks, son of Mrs. H, F. j
Starr, has opened an auto repair shop
next to the local blacksmith shop. Mr.
Sparks recently arrived in Seward
from Seattle and is said to be an ex
pert mechanic.
The Excelsior motorcycle which
will be used by Gateway representa
tive in scouring out of the way news
is having a general overhauling, the
engine at the present time being re
fitted at the local Ogle garage.
