LIGHTHOUSE PROJECT IS
EXCITING SMALL INTEREST
The proposition to build a light
house at Harding Entrance to Res
urrection Bay, has apparently dropped
out of sight during the senatorial in
vestigations, political recrimination,
and general excitement of a presiden
tial election. For some time alter the
arrival and departure of ihe presiden
tial party the proposition was exten
sively discussed both at home and in
"Washington, but other affairs of mag
nitude have drawn attention away
from the plan.
Captain Johansen, master of the
"Starr, is most emphatic in his recom
mendation that such lighthouse be es
tablished. as are other well known ma
riners.
Lewis Bates telegraphed yesterday
renting the cabin formerly occupied
by him at the rear of McMullen’s gro
cery. Mr. Bates shook the proverbial
dust of Alaska off his feet this tall,
when he went Outside, but after a
short sojourn in the States reconsid -
ered.

WILL EXTERMINATE SEALS
The Seward Chamber of Commerce
went on record at a recent meeting
as being in favor of exterminating the
vast rookery of seals and sealions,
which use Seal Rocks, at the entrance
of Resurrection Bay tor their head
quarters. That these mammals do im
mense damage to the king salmon en
tering the bay for spawning purposes
is certain. They have no value other
than for their skins and their attrac
tion to tourists, which is offset by
their destructive tendencies. They
break up the schools, mangle and mu
! tilate the salmon, and scare many
schools out to sea. It is estimated that
one of these sea-lions, weighing 2 5U0
pounds, will consume from 50 to 100
| pounds of fish a day.
