AN EFFICIENT OFFICER
Political rumors have been rite tor many months
to the effect that Harvey P. Sullivan, United States
Marshal, Third Division, one of the finest and most effi
cient officers Alaska ever had, was due for the skids.
The opposition claims he lias, outlived his usefulness;
that he does not fit in with the present regime and that
he is to be supplanted by some “favorite.”
An Anchorage man, two at Cordova, one at Kodiak,
and a few more have been mentioned as Marshal Sulli
van’s successor; what it is all about we don’t know but
this we do know; if U. S. Attorney General Mitchell at
Washington, D. C. knew the high regard Marshal Sulli
van is held in by residents of this Division, the matter
would end right there. There is no question about his
efficiency, qualifications nor conduct of his office.
The only brief we hold for Marshal Sullivan is that
which we hold for any public official, a square-shooter,
in or out of office. His record during the years gone by
is ample proof that he has done his job well; to the best
of his capabilities to all concerned. His administration of
the many duties connected with his office has never
been questioned by Washington; only by politicians.
We do not believe Uncle Sam will reward such an
honorable official by kicking him out as reward for years
of conscientious endeavor; neither do we think any of
the socalled aspirants are better qualified than he.
AIRPLANE SERVICE OPPORTUNITY
There is an excellent opportunity for an aviator to
lay the foundation here in Seward for a thriving busi
ness to Westward Alaska and to the Bristol Bay area.
After a survey of the situation this can be seen as plain
as the paper on the wall.
Motorboat transportation is the means of get
ting about in those regions and doubly so at Bristol Bay
and up the Nushagak; small boats out there are just as
common and as thick as automobiles elsewhere.
Once in the region days are always lost, sometimes
weeks, before one can leave. In the winter there is no
traffic except by dog teams or “mushing.”
Some day an aviator will wake up to the possibilities
in this virgin field; one of the few left such fields in
the Territory today.
CAUSE FOR TEARS
One of those little incidents which often makes a
man burst out in tears was seen recently out Westward
There, as in other isolated regions of this once joyous
Alaska, are found heaps and heaps of empty bottles—
relics which should now repose in the Smithsonian Insti
tute; dead “soldiers”. Tears cascade in bucketfulls when
one glimpses some poor “sap” diligently searching thru
a vast heap in vain quest for a “live-one”; or with just
a “teeny-weeny” drop left. Sad indeed!
One of the principle need for cutters in Southwest
ern Alaska wraters is not to guard the fish which swim
in the sea but to aid vessels which may be in distress,
large or small. Instead of carrying guns on deck cutters
should be equipped with a good towing engine, cables
and diving outfits.
Contentment and carefulness make poor men rich—
while discontent and idleness make rich men sour and
poor. In this great country of ours the door of opportun
ity to honor, influence and possibly wealth is open to all.
Good judgement, intelligence, uprightness, and unwav
ering industry are, in nine cases out of ten, certain to
be rewarded. John Wanamaker
If the beauties of Westward Alaska were known it
would become one of the tourist meccas of the world.
ILL HU HAD
CRACK AT ALASKA;
From 18G7 to 1877 Alaska was
| nominally governed by the War
Department; troops were with
drawn in 1877. Between 1877 and
1879, the Treasury Department,
thru a collector of customs, admin
istered the affairs. Next in turn
I came the Navy Department which
bad charge of the Territory until
; civil officers were appointed under
the act of May 17,1884 (23 Stat- 24),
to establish a civil government.
1 Section seven of this act extend
ed over Alaska, the laws of the
State of Oregon, as far as applia
ble, created a judicial district and
a land district, and placed in force
the mining laws of the United
States and gave the Territory an
administrative system.
