THE OLD TIMERS’ PAGE IS
GOING TO BE A “WINNER”
Anton Eide, head of the Alaska road
commission for this district, was on
the beach at this port when the first
load of argonauts landed and started
to clear off a site for a town. He car
ried the winter mail from Seward to
the Cook Inlet country for many years,
through all kinds of weather, and later
joined with the road commission, be
ing responsible for many of the good
highways in this vicinity. Mr. Eide
constructed the bridge over Snow
River for the Alaska Central, portions
of which structure are still standing.
Don’t you think his story will be in
teresting? He has seen a town grow
amid the stumps on Resurrection Bay,
and helped chop the timber that made
the stumps.
He will be in the “Prosperity Edi
tion,” if our reporter can get him to
relate liis vigorous life in the North
land.
