MAJOR OLIVER TO
MAKE SURVEY OF
SHELTER HARBOR
(Continued from page four)
could not secure reservations on Al
aska vessels, even months alien 1 of
the sailing time. Extra steamers
as mentioned, operating during th&
tourist season, wouil flood the Terri
tory with visitors.
A National park is a large asset
to Alaska, referring to the tourist
crop. Statistics have revealed this.
It is estimated that the annuad crop
in the Yellowstone National Park
produces more in cash than an aver
age wheat crop. Last ye\r tl is to
taled $1680 per acre and there are
thousands of acres in e park,
ncourage Domestic Fur Farming
A. A. Bass, publisher of the Fur
Farmers magazine, of Seattle, stat
ed domestic fur farming in Alaska
should be encouraged as well as the
conservation of wild game. There
are 67 silver fox fur farms now in
Alaska, and about 200 blue fox
farms, and new ones being started
continually which, in the years to
come, will also prove to be one of
the greatest resources of the Ter
ritory.
There is one thing which the peo
pie or AiasKa ana me emamoers or
, Commerces should keep uppermost
in their minds at all times and that
is, concerted efforts to procure more
roads. The sum of $10,000 is being
expended this season in the Homer
district by the Alaska Road Commis
sion which when completed will serve
approximately 25 dirt farmers, also
many other residents of that dis
trict. There are at least 100 people
residing in that region. Mr. Bass
pointed out what a wonderful thing
it would be if with the road con
struction going on this end, could be
connected with the Inlet district. He
felt quite sure the people of that
area would patronage Seward bus
iness houses and in addition to this,
every person in the Inlet region,
would shortly be the possessor of an
automobile, and would be traversing
the road continually.
Like Switzerland, though he has
never been there, a perfect network
of roads in the Territory would cause
the tourists to flock to Alaska in
hordes, bringing their cars with them
and remaining for a considerable
length of time.
Cold Storage Expert Guest
N. W. Redmon, a cold storage ex
pert who is also associated with the
Portlock plant, said he was depart
ing for the East but that he was re
turning in the spring at w^hich time
he anticipated his company at Port
lock would be a good neighbor to
Seward, The cold storage location is
good, he said, being ideally situated
and near the halibut banks. He is
greatly impressed with Seward and
agreed with Mr. Good that in time
Seward was destined to become a
large and flourishing city.
Other guests at the Chamber were
W. W. Hodgeman, jr., son of one of
the heavy stockholders in the Port
lock company, and Mr. F. C. Gold
field, also a member of the com
pany.
Public Hearing Be Held
In a communication from Col. Jas. ■
G. Steese, district engineer, United
States Engineer Office, Alaska Hoad
Commission, at Juneau, concerning
the proposed examination of Resur
rection bay and vicinity with the
view of creating a shelter harbor,
Col. Steese wrote that it is the de
partment’s plan to hold a publiic ■
hearing this fall in Seward, after
receiving data upon the local situa
tion. He expressed the department’s
appreciation of Capt. O. A. Johan
sen’s offer to convey the engineering
party about the bay on the steamer
Starr.
Colonel Steese has been summoned
to Washington, D. C., in connection
with the department’s budget hear
ings, so therefore, the actual subse
quent examination of the Seward
project wlil be handled by Major
Oliver.
Vice President McMullen of the
chamber body appointed a commit
tee of three to gather the necessary
information regarding the harbor
project, at once for the department’s
perusal. The members appointed
were J. H. Flickenger, chairman;
Wayne Blue and J. P. Hannon.
Portland Chamber To Assist.
From the Portland Chamber of
Commerce a communication was re
ceived in which it was stated the
local chamber’s letter with respect
to the appropriation tor the United
States Geological Survey had been
received and will be brought to the
attention of the Portland Board of
Directors at an early date. It is
believed some assistance along the
lines suggested indicated in the Se
ward letter, will be forthcoming for
the survey is of general importance
to the whole mineral industry of the
nation.
