FAVORS DIVISION TERRITORY
Mr. R. J. Sommers, of Juneau, who ;
js in Seward today on his way south,<
is an ardent advocate of Territorial
division. Mr. Sommers points out that
a division of Alaska would be helpful
to the entire Territory, as the First
division has no interests in common
with the other three divisions, which
he affirms would be better off with
the First division separate.
And the Gateway believes that Mr.
Sommers is right. Many benefits
wood accrue to the coastal towns north
of the division line. Over one hun
dred Federal appointments would be
made for the new Territory, many
coast guard vessels would be station
ed here, the various bureaus would
have headquarters in the Northern
district, and a general healthful ad- j
vancement would be promoted in both
sections.
The main opponents to division are
to be found in the Second and Fourth <
divisions, some opposing it for serf+i-;
mental reasons, others for economic
Reasons, Roth reasons could be over
come by explaining the many advan
tages accruing to both North pnd 11
South Alaska. ' j<

j Seward is badly in need of more;
habitable residences. At the present
time, with new arrivals on every boat,
it is hard to find suitable quarters for
occupancy. A block or two of three. 1
four and five room bungalows would 1
find tenants immediately, and several 1
new store buildings could also be j
rented advantageously. The Signal;
Corps headquarters will be removed
to Seward some time this summer, and
unless quarters are provided they
will be forced to occupy quarters on
the reservation. If Seward is to have
a building boom at any time in the
near future, the time is at hand. Low
rents and comfortable quarters are a
wonderful inducement to settlers.
Improvements are being added
daily to the Alaska railroad. The lat
est is a block system on the section
between here and Anchorage.
Up to the present time but two per
sons have tiled for city offices,—Miss
Sylvia Sexton for re-election as treas
urer, and Judge W. H. Whittlesey, for
re-election as clerk and magistrate.
For councilmen, three of whom are to
be elected, Mr. D. H. Tyer, is the only
me to announce. Councilman Add
in an has handed in his resignation,
ind this leaves a councilman to be
ippointed at the first meeting in
April. The water is fine,—for those
,vho can swim.
Being married is not so bad; it’s

CITIZENS EVIDENTLY PEEVED
] 1J Advised Action Resented by Offi
cials of Alaska Steamship Co.—
Should Support Railroad
Anchorage citizens are evidently l
very much peeved over the action of
the Alaska Steamship Company in re-j
fusing to send company vessels to the!
Cook Inlet port th: coming season.
At a recent meeting of the dock com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce,
Agent L. D. Roach of the Alaska S. S.
Company was refused admission to
the hall by the committee.
The Pacific Steamship Company,
whose steamers will call at the inland
port twice a month, was represented
by Brice Howard and General Agent
•J. H. Kline.
The ill-advised action of the com
mittee occurred when a meeting wa
called to discuss leasing the railroad
dock, and J. B. Gottstein, chairman of
the meeting said the reason the Alas
ka Steamship Company’s representa- :
tive wasn’t allowed to attend, was be- (
cause the members would not be free i
to speak plainly in view of the dock 1
controversy, if Agent Roach were in
attendance.
A letter was received from John A.
Bunch, traffic manager for the Alas-1
ka line, stating that his company had
been discriminated against, and giving
the reasons for the refusal to call at 1
Anchorage witj] the big passenger
boats. Mr. Bunch said that on numol*-,
ouS' occasions the company’s steamers
had listed to a dnngOrOtig angle at low.
tide, ahd that if the larger vessels
were forced to go out with the tide,
unloading only at high water, a sched- <
ule could not be maintained.
Mr; Bunch called ntto'ntion to the
placing of the Redondo on the run
from Seward to Anchorage, connect
ing with the steamers here each Sat
urday. Ho also declared that it was
up to the citizens of Anchorage to nat
ronize the railway, if they expected it
to be a success, or to benefit Anchor
age.
The Admiral Line representatives
assured the committee the company’s j
boats would call at Anchorage each
trip, carrying passengers and freight.
