Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans In holding to their firm faith
in the Territory's possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and, that the future is bright and promising is attested by »
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead."

ARTICLE PUBLISHED IN
CHURCH PAPER
Rev. Thomas Philip Graham is ad
vertising Alaska in his own way and
is reaching an audience occasionally
which runs into thousands. Witness
the following article submitted by
him to The Pacific Coast Advocate,
a monthly church paper issued at
Portland, Ore.
By THOMAS PHILIP GRAHAM
In the Territory of Alaska about
fifteen hundred miles northwest of
Seattle, Washington, situated on the
west side of Kenai Peninsula, not
far from Cook Inlet, is the fishing
village of Seldovia, which has a win
ter population of about three hun
dred, but which, during the fishing
season more than doubles that num
ber. Along Cook Inlet north toward
Anchorage, a hundred and fifty miles
away, are other villages and num
erous fox farms, for that section is
the center of this Alaskan industry.
Seldovia is an open port the year
round, but most of the Inlet north
of there is closed by the winter
freezes. As a result of this con
dition, the people of that section are
almost entirely cut off from all con
nection with the outside world during
the winter months, except by radio.
Many of them have radios in their
homes. At Seldovia is a radio broad
casting station; and the people along
Cook Inlet have a way of listening
in on Seldovia at 7 o’clock evenings.
The Methodist Episcopal church
owns property at Seldovia, and
serves the Protestant people of all
that section, the same being a part
of the Seward parish, though Sew
ard is a hundred and fifty miles
away to the northeast. The Rev.
Thomas Philip Graham is the pres

iiimmiiimmiiiimmmimmmiimimiiimmimmmiiimiU:
ent pastor in charge of that large
field. During his recent visit to Sel
dovia, Mr. Graham wa3 requested to
broadcast a fifteen-minute-sermon for
the special benefit of the people
along Cook Inlet, which he did at
7 o’clock Friday evening, January
22, 1926, and with very satisfactory
results.
This event is of especial interest
in that it is said to have been the
first sermon ever broadcasted in the
Territory. In its news item concern
ing the matter on January 25, the
Seward newspaper said: “To the
Reverend goes the honor of broad
casting the first sermon in the Ter
ritory, and word to that effect was
I telegraphed to the Associated Press
' by the Gateway today”.
The manager of the Seldovia radio
station was so well pleased with the
! success in broadcasting this first
sermon over his station that he is
thinking seriously of running wires
to the Methodist Church there, and
connecting it up with his station, so
I that the people along Cook Inlet may
i have the benefit of church services
! regularly.
