THAT’S ALL ALASKA NEEDS!
It’s rather peculiar about the reported Cassiar strike.
For long, over a year now The Alaska Weekly, published
at Seattle, has been publishing glowing accounts of min
ing activities of that region yet, without exception, every
oldtimer who has passed thru Seward after visiting the
Cassiar bring back unfavorable reports. If the majority
of these oldtimers were not “sourdough” prospectors we
would pay little attention to the conflicting reports and
let her go as she looks.
Frank J. Cotter, the Seattle paper representative,
writing from the Cassiar last year, said: “If we just had
2,000 digging prospectors to turn loose in that Cassiar for
the next three months you would see a real placer camp.
Right now the need of the Cassiar is more prospectors
and fewer knockers.”
As we view the situation that is all any part of Alas
ka needs, more prospectors in the field, also, more knock
ers, for on the average a knock can be considered a boost.
If we had 2,000 prospectors in the Nuka bay or Moose
Pass districts or in any part of the Territory, mining ac
tivities would bound to increase.
We suggest to the many tourists who will be in town
this evening and tomorrow to consider the railroad trip
to Spencer glacier and to Nellie Neal’s tourist lodge at
La wing. Just a few hours round-trip out of Seward but
a trip, nevertheless which will reveal all of the scenic
beauty between Seward and Moraine, and unexcelled any
where on the railroad. Switzerland is a back number.
NOW, COULD WE?
Seijiro Kawashima, Japan’s best known naval au
thority, says in the event of a Pacific war his country
would first seize the Philippines. Could we Alaskans de
pend upon it?
Another splendid short trip for visitors to Seward is
the eighteen mile auto ride to Lake Kenai over a scenic
highway which we defy anyone to reproduce. The road
is like a boulevard. It will surprise you, folks!
Seward is rightly named the Gateway to the Interior
and the terminal to a sixty million dollar railroad. What
Seattle is to the U. S. A., so will Seward be to the
Territory. Mining, fur farming, fishing, agriculture,
lumbering, shipping, big game hunts. What more does any
town want?
So here again is Saturday with another large crowd
of visitors from the States. May they remain with us for
a long time, long enough to absorb some of the beautiful
truth about Alaska, and upon their return home just tell
the truth.
Have you yet arrived in any towm in Alaska which
presents such a clean and attractive appearance as Sew
ard? And how about our buildings and the fine looking
stores? Sure! We’re proud of them! And how about the
two parks at the main entrance?
Among the visitors stopping over
at Lawing tourist lodge, a short dis
tance out of Seward, is W. Stoddard.
He has become infatuated “with"the
charming beauty cf Lake Kenai and
the restful lodge and is remaining for
a period of two weeks.
Mrs. Fred Gitchell, owner of the
Gitchell hotel and restaurant at An
chorage, is returning on the S. S.
Northwestern from Seattle.
Mrs. McKenzie, wife of the veil
known Alaska Railroad conductor, is
spending ten days with Nellie Neal
at Lawing. Mrs. McKenzie resides in
Anchorage.
