A delicious lunch was served
by Mrs. Reenstrom, everyone hav
ing their fill of real, tasty Alaska
refreshments.
At this time the Gateway has
been asked by the Seward dele
gation to thank the good people
of Hope for the many courtesies
extended to them: the true Alas
kans composing the thriving little
own, were ever bringing to the
Seward visitors vegetables which
are beyond description in com
parison to those grown in the
states. The offerings were huge
cauliflower plants, stringless
beans, peas. onions. tomatoes,
home-grown apples, beets, lus
cious berries of many varieties so
prolific in the Territory.
H. S. Balrierston. Seward ban
ker, one of the principle speak
ers at the dedication inform
ed the throng of the rebent vis
it of the Congressional party and
their comments on the need of
more roads in Alaska. Mr. Bal
derston conveyed to his interest
ed audience the plans now being
formulated for road construction
from Seward into the Kenai pen
insula country the first step to
be a road from Lawing to Moose
Pass with a ferry operating from
Mile 18 on the Seward-Lake Ke
nai Highway, to Lawing. That
the Seward Chamber of Com
merce and citizens of the city
are bending every effort toward
securing immediate road construc
tion into all parts of Kenai pen
insula.
Mr. Bolderston stated that the
people of Hope and other commu
nities should not hesitate to call
upon Seward for any kind of as
sistance.
Mr. Flickinger’s talk was very
well received and held the close
attention of the crwd. He said
it was a pleasure to be present
at such an event and that it
marked the turning point in the
affairs of the community and he
prophesied that from this point
a turn for the better in the pro
gress and upbuilding of that dis
trict. would be seen; that the
town had at last come into its
own.
He said the primary object of
the visit of the Seward delega
tion was to look over the resources
and study the possibilities for
connecting up roads, and that
from observations made by them
their findings far exceeded their
highest expectations. In conclu
sion he said Mrs. Flickinger and
himself would henceforth, each
summer, make every effort to
spend a few weeks in their mag
nificent country.
One of the hits of the day
was the brief talk given by Mrs.
Flickinger who wound up her in
teresting address by thanking
the women and men of Hope for
their many courtesies, hospital
ity, and kindness extended to the
Seward delegation during their
sojourn in beautiful Hope.
After numerous Hope residents
made brief talks President Ur
bach assured the people that
they—Hope citizens—had sold
the Hope idea to his crowd and
that “we would all be back, and
many others, next summer.” That
the dedication and visit was one
he would long remember with
pleasure; that the completion of
the Hope bridge, christened Flick

inger bridge, signified the con
fidence and belief of all that
Hope one day would be a flour
ishing community, justifying the
opinion long held by Hope old
timers of the ultimate future of
their district.
Hope business men stated that
as soon as the small connecting
road link was built, to Seward,
they would purchase autos and
trucks, sell their produce in Sew
ard and also do considerable pur
chasing here.
The new bridge has been badly
needed for years and its com
pletion now makes possible the
crossing of the large creek which
during high water has often been
impossible. As it was the only
means of crossing it will be
seen that the families living on
opposite sides were at times al
most isolated.
The efficient crew comprising
the men responsible for the fine
structure are Harry Johnson, the
foreman, Joe Estes, John Salit,
Jess Underwood and Frank Reen
strom; Mrs. Reenstrom presided
over the mess house which per
haps added much to the spirit
attached to the building of the
bridge.
The bridge was approximately
two months in the building and
reflects credit to any communi
ty. The floor is composed of 2 x
4’s on edge with heavy stringers
belted making one compact mass.
In other words it is the kind of
a bridge that the B. P. R. is
noted for, first class workman
ship throughout and presenting
a fine appearance.
The Seward delegation visited
the Hershey mining property
where a large stamp mill is in
full operation with two shifts
working. They were royally en
tertained by Mr. and Mrs. Her
; shey who are noted for their
hospitality. They own a fine home
in Hope with a good garden;
i their mine is about 12 miles
| from town with a excellent auto
mobile road all the way.
i
Stops were made at other
mines along Moose Pass Highway,
also at some of the beautiful
lakes that abound there, as well
as visiting some of the creeks
to watch miners panning gold.
One was strongly tempted to
spend the summer prospecting
for gold after watching this. A
very enjoyable visit was had at
1 Sunrise with the leading citizens
of that famous gold camp and
with Mike Connolly.
Moose Pass also is growing and
many new houses are being
built; among these is one owned

THE MOST MODERN LAUNDRY IN THE TERRITORY

HARRY KAWABE Prop. —.o.— PHONE MAIN 148
King Hiliarity reigned thruout
last night at the annual initiation
held for the freshmen class. Now
their days of anxiety are over. Clad
in dresses, the boys looked very
chic, as did the girls who had don
ned the trousers, when the parade,
flanked on either side by brilliant
red flares, marched up Fourth Ave.,
to the school grounds. There the
“freshies” were made to sing and
dance, with the upper-classmen
and faculty as onlookers, and then
they were locked up while the par
aphernalia for the rest of the
stunts was prepared. What follow
ed then would involve much detail,
but it is sufficient to say that the
spectators never had such a good
laugh in all their lives. Afterward
the assembly was turned into a
dance floor and then freshmen and
all were “lined up” for the eats.
Now, according to Superintendent
Roaney, no one dare molest the
Frosh hereafter.
