MAJOR ELLIOTT APPRECIATIVE
A letter was recently received by The Gateway,
from an official of the International' Highway Associa
tion, in which it was said one and all seem to be ‘ boost
ers” for the proposed highway from the States, through
British Columbia, to the Yukon and Alaska territorys,
but no financial support was forthcoming. In other
words, the letter was an appeal for money with which
to keep the idea moving along. Since the letter was re
ceived the appropriation made by the last legislature for
this purpose, has been made available, we have heard.
The sum of $100 was asked for in the letter mention
ed. Within an hour it wras raised among the following:
P. C. McMullen, Hoben & Davis, Brown & Hawddns
Corporation, Seward Steam Laundry, Bank of Seward,
C. E. Orlander, E. Swetmann, H. Painter, Hotel Seward,
Sewrard Gateway, Sewrard Light & Power Company, J.
L. Graef, F. C. Miller, Matich & Svedeen, Jack Bailey,
Capt. Heinie Berger, Chas. Lechner and Peter Ogle.
The money was then telegraphed to Juneau.
In the last mail arrived the following letter from
Major Malcolm Elliott, President of the Alaska Road
Commission, winch is self explanatory.
« • *
Seward Gateway:
“Your wire contributing $100 for publicity purposes in connection
with the Pacific-Yukon Highway project was gratefully appreciated. It
did not seem fair to Seward to accept a contribution of this size in
iriew that no contributions were made by other Alaska towns. The
Highway Association at Fairbanks has contributed $100 and I expect
a similar contribution from Seattle. With these funds and the appro
priation made by the last legislature the immediate requirments for
printing can be met.
“Please be assured, however, that we appreciate very greatly
the public spirit and generosity of citizens of Seward who contributed
these funds. I wish you would thank each of them for me.
If practicable I would like you to consider that we have a sort of
4 check on this donation as it is quite probable that in the
course oi promoting this big project expenses will arise that are diffi
cult to finance.
"With best wishes and again many thanks, Yours sincerely, Mal
colm Elliott.”
THE LIES WHICH DEATH TELLS
The real significance of Easter is to be found in the
fact that it enables a man to look death in the eye and
very simply and quite directly say “You lie!”
Many a discouraged and cynical man has called life
a liar. The hard and ravaging experiences of life often
make men feel that youth has promised more than matur
ity has fulfilled, that maturity has become responsible
for expectations which have not been realized.
But as a matter of fact it is death whose words are
always words of duplicity. And only the man who can un
hesitatingly hurl the ugly word of death is ready to die.
Death seems to have had the last word. Death had
slain not only Jesus but the whole world of hopes and ex
pectations of faiths and beliefs which lived in Him.
But the Resurrection changed all this.
When He came from the grave he brought all His
principles and ideals with him alive and shining in victor
ious armor. The del' te and gracious virtues belonged to
eternity and would ile in Him. The robust belief in the
Unseen was vindica d when the sunlight fell upon His
face that Easter day.
Death was caught in his supreme deception. Easter
gives a man the power to face death and to say “You lie!”
The futuristic cartoon in today’s paper may bring
a few sarcastic remarks from pessimists and unbelievers
in the ultimate destiny of the Port of Seward but, fortu
nately, optimists are in the majority and can easily vis
ualize such a Seward of the future. In any case, you can’t
kill ‘em for trying.

! OfSTflNCES BETWEEN
UNITED STATES PORTS
The question often asked as to
how far it is by water from this
city to some other port in the Unit
' 'ed States is answered in a publica
tion entitled “Distances between
|United States Ports”, recently issu
;ed by the U. S. Coast & Geodetic
Survey. This publication of 44
1 pages contains 30 tables by means
i ■ of which distances can be readily
; ascertained between more than
j 30,000 points.
i i Ports on the Atlantic, Gulf, and
| |Pacific coasts, on the Atlantic coast
> inside route, on the Hudson, Miss
issippi and Ohio rivers, on the Great
■ ;Lakes, and in the Virgin Islands,
j Porto Rico, Philippine Islands and
I Hawaiian Islands are included.
| To make the publication more
complete, the distances between
United States and a few of the
| more important foreign ports are
listed. Mariners and others inter
, ested in the factors affecting trans
portation by water will find this
publication of interest.
| Copies of this publication may
be obtained for 10 cents per copy
from the Director, Coast & Geodetic
| Survey, Washington, D. C.
