MANY PASSENGERS
ARRIVE SEWARD
ON STL STARR
STEAMER STARR IN PORT AF
TER STORMY PASSAGE TO
WESTWARD
Through wintry blasts and sun
mine alike, the staunch steamer Starr
Captain O. A. Johansen, arrived in
port this morning at six-thirty, just
fifteen days since her departure for
the many westward points. Heavy
weather was encountered and the ves
sel was at one time practically en
cased in ice. Twelve first class pas
st i gers and eighteen steerage pas
sengers were brought into port on
the Starr, as well as fifty tons of gen
eral cargo. This consisted of about
tl’iity tons for the Jesse Lee Home
anl twenty tons for the local Stan
c i rd Oil plant.
7 he first bad stretch of water was
eraountered near Kanatak where the
tilt became iced down. All hands
joined in chopping away until the
de -ks and rigging were clear.
For the first time in three years
the antennae broke down from the
het vy burden of ice clinging to the
frail wireless equipment. From Ka
natak to False Pass fairly good wea
ther was enjoyed. While tied up at
the False Pass dock a terrific gale
swooped down over the region. At
Lost Harbor the vessel threw out the
anchor. Then between Lost Harbor
and Akutan the worst weather of the
entire trip was run into. So severe
were the gales that the ship was un
able to call in at Sanak, both coming
or going. On the return trip they had
fair weather until they left Uganik,
and when off Barren Islands hit the
tail end of the storm which hit the
steamship Victoria a few days ago.
The incoming passengers were: W.

Knute Lawson escaped through an
air hole after swimming fifty feet
under the ice near Duluth, Minn.
COMMUNICATION.
(Continued from Editorial Page)
up the line, there is a little town
building, steam heat and all the latest
modern improvement erected at an
expense running into hundreds of
thousands of dollars. About midway
between Eska and Chickaloon at a
place called Sutton, there is one of
the finest coal washers in the coun
try. There are four tracks running
in to it. I do not know just what the
cost was, but it must be about $200
000, and everything lying idle. Now,
if that Senator friend of yours was
going to make a wagon road out of
our railroad, hadn’t he ought to have
done it before the government went
to this expense. Now, remember, my
friend, the country we are in now is
not gold. Itj is coal, coal, everywhere.
In some places the coal crops out of
the ground in veins from two to ten
feet and yet no coal is shipped. The
Indians in early days used to mine
the coal for the steamboats running
up Cook Inlet; sending out cargoes
of from 50 to 150 tons, and now the
white man cannot ship it with all
the latest modern machinery.
“Now, my friend, we will go back
to the main line and go up into the
Mt. McKinley and Fairbanks country.
All this country you see around you
is a placer mining country and has
been all gone over once. A corpora
tion has been formed recently to
dredge and sluice all this whole coun
try, and they are going to make a
fortune, for there is more gold in the
ground around Fairbanks than was
taken out. Insteading of taking the
railroad out they will have to double
the track to handle the traffic. Thai
will be done in time under the pres
ent management of Noel Smith.
“What is the matter with Smith?’
“He is all right.”
“Watch Seward grow.”
