WILL OPEN H0SPITAL
Bishop Crimont Assures Secreatry J.
P. Hannon That Institution Be
in Operation Soon
It was decided at yesterday’s busi
ness meeting and luncheon of the
Seward Chamber of Commerce held at
the Sqward Grill that a banquet will
be tendered the prominent army offi
cers, Major General Harry Taylor,
Chief of Engineers, U. S. A., and
Gen. “Colonel Dick” Wilds P. Rich
ardson, and Colonel James Gordon
Steese, upon their arrival at this port
on the steamer Yukon. A special in
vitation is extended to all Seward
business men to attend the banquet
which will, in all likelihood be held
during the noon hour. Table reserva
tions should be made immediately
through J. P. Hannon, secretary of the
chamber.
The army officers are making a tour
of Alaska inspecting completed road
projects and those now under con
struction by the Alaska Road Commis
sion of which Colonel Steese is the
president.
Anxious to Re-Open Hospital
Secretary Hannon stated during the
recent visit in Seward of the Rt. Rev.
J. R. Crimont, S. J., D.D., Catholic
Bishop of Alaska, he was informed
that Bishop Criinont is anxious to re
open the Seward hospital, but that at
the present time a shortage of nurses
prohibits this. However, Bishop Cri
month assured Mr. Hannon the hospi
tal would bei opened again in the very
near future.
Coal Bunker Situation.
The chamber members were inform
ed with respect to the construction of
coal bunkers in Seward, for which a
large appropriation was made by
Congress, that this matter is left en
tirely to the discretion of Noel W.
Smith, general manager of the Alaska
Railroad. That Mr. Smith does not
believe in “putting the cart before
the horse" in erecting the bunkers
until Alaska coal operators have cre
ated a market for their product. In
other words, when the coal industry
in this region has been developed to
such an extent that facilities are re
quired for shipment to other ports,
the coal bunkers in Seward will then
be constructed.
Geological Survey Letter
A communication was received from
G. M. Smith, Director of the United
States Geological Survey, in which the
chamber was advised that his depart
ment appreciated the kind words of
approval concerning the activities of
the geological survey work in Alaska.
Director Smith called the chamber’s
attention to the fact that the appro
priations for this work has never ex
ceeded $100,000 annually, but that he
agrees with the Seward chamber that
the sum of $150,000 is by no means
too much to put into it in view of the
increased cost of everything.
Industrial Relations
From Charles L. Walker, assistant
secretary of the Industrial Relations
Committee of the Philadelphia Cham
ber of Commerce a communication
was received requesting the name and
addrss of the president of the Seward
chamber, also of several leading busi
ness men in the community. It is
stated the committee is planning a
comprehensive treatment in Philadel
phia during 1926 of the subject of
Industrial Relations.
O. A. Campbell, assistant manager
of the Alaska and Northwest Dirigible
Company of Seattle was a guest at
the chamber. His remarks are pub
lished elsewhere in the columns of
this issue of the Gateway.

DIRIGIBLE MAN IN SEWARD IS
WELL PLEASED WITH HIS
RECEPTION
SEWARD-NOME 12 HOURS
As a Guest of.Seward Cchamber, Air
ship Official Cites Few Facts of
Popular Service
When one considers that the Good-1
year Rubber Company is employing I
3,000 men at its airship factory in the !
East, including 12 German dirigible!
experts, A. O. Campbell, assistant
manager of the Alaska and North
western Dirigible Company of Seattle
assured the members at yesterday’s
luncheon and business meeting of the
Seward Chamber of Commerce, at
which he was a guest, that a finan
cial investment in the new industry
is a safe investment.
Citing a few facts in this respect
Mr. Campbell said that the insurance
rates via dirigible is considerably less
than rail or boat, and that with the
installation of a dirigible service in
Alaska by his company, distance will
be eliminated. Freight and passen
ger rates will be much less owing to
the small cost of operation of the dir
igible service.
Transportation is the vital Alaskan
problem, and as most Alaskans know
such has always been the case. A
i tAvo ton airship, such as is proposed
by the company for its initial venture
in the Territory, will cost $30,000
landed in New York. This would be
an Italian dirigible. The ship would
be capable of attaining a speed of 40
miles an hour; will carry ten pas
sengers and could make the trip from
Nome to Seward in 12 hours.
With reference to local subscrip
tions, Mr. Campbell said he was well
pleased with the reception thus far
accorded the company. He antici
pates no difficulty in raising the quota
of capital apportioned to Seward. Mr.
Campbell has moved his headquarters
from the Holben building to the Over
land Hotel. He will remain in Sew
ard for probably another week after
which time he plans going to the inte
rior, thence down the river to Nome.
It is stated he will accompany Fred
Harrison, district attorney at Nome,
on the trip to the Bering Sea town.

Engstrom has stated her intention of
climbing Marathon before she departs

she is residing with her daughter.
