THE WESTWARD COAL MARKET
A recent survey of the Westward district with res
pect to supplying those areas with Alaska coal evidently
has proved the contention of The Gateway that there is
a tremendous market out there just waiting for the day
when it can be supplied to them. There are three factors
involved, however, but they should be taken care of
with little difficulty; these factors are the quality of
coal, the availability and the price.
With the same careful attention to mining coal as
is done by Outside coal mines, Alaskan operators
should have no fear from that score. Analysis have prov
en beyond any doubt that Alaska coal is equal to any pro
duced elsewhere. In the earlier stages of Alaska coal min
ing it must be admitted there were instances when
a few carloads of coal had not been properly washed but
in the years which have passed every modern facility
and equipment has been added until today, every carload
leaving the mines, the operators look upon with pride.
By availability is meant transportation of the pro
duct when it is required. We have the assurance of Gen
eral Manager Otto F. Ohlson, of the Alaska Railroad,
that when a market is furthcoming for shipping coal
beyond Seward wit
bunker will be bui
tin certain tonnage figures, a
coal
It here. The Westward market is far
larger than the figure he mentioned. The coal operators
can now supply any quantity desired.
Also, thanks to Colonel Ohlson, he has made a special
rate per ton for haulage to Seward from the mines, a
rate low enough for operators to meet competitive prices.
Thus, is the outcome of the latest developments in
supplying new Alaska markets with an Alaskan product.
The next step to be taken is a satisfactory arrangement
for carrying the coal from the Port of Seward to the
Westward field as well as to the south. This, it is said,
is now being being worked out and will probably be made
public in the very near future.
ANCHORAGE MARCHES FORWARD
Anchorage seems to be lined up for a great year.
It is rumored here that Capt. A. E. Lathrop is con
sidering the erection of a $100,000 apartment house. F.
I. Reed, owner of the Anchorage Hotel recently purchas
ed a corner property on which he proposes to build a
$60,000 annex. A new school house is to be built at a cost
of $50,000. The likelihood of obtaining a large Federal
building appears excellent. Many new residences are be
ing built. A radio station looms in the offing. They hope
to obtain the court headquarters from Valdez. The coal
mines are operating full-blast; the canneries soon will
be, and the Alaska Railroad shops are busier than ever.
Anchorage is one of the finest cities in Alaska and
her citizens, likewise, are wonderful. The citizens of Sew
ard view Anchorage’s activity with sincere pleasure and
hope her growth will never cease. With the march of
progress, as is evidenced at Anchorage, so will Seward j
benefit and keep in step. What is good for any part of
this vast Territory is good for all of us.
WHY NOT AN EXCURSION?
It would seem to be rather an opportune time, with
the arrival in the Port of Seward on May 10 of the new I
S. S. Aleutian, for Seward to begin arranging some sort
of an official welcome to the palatial liner arnd it’s offi
cers. It is known that a number of people from Interior
points plan coming to Seward to see the steamer. Why
not have the Alaska Railroad management cooperate
by running a special excursion train, and make a real
day for the great event?
At least the bootlegging racketeers of Chicago might j
have been willing to loan Mayor Thompson some of the
millions they were given, to pay for the hired help.
