NOT A SQUARE SHOOTER
As evidence of the love the Transportation Department
** of the Alaska Railroad holds for Seward, a subject wc
have been harping on the past few days, we would call the
attention of the citizens of the city to the bulletin cover
inng holiday trains for the Fourth of July, issued from
the office of this so-called Transportation Department.
Fiirst of all the regular passenger train to Seward
for Wednesday, July 4th, has been canncelled BUT not sc
to Anchorage. Oh my no! The special train orders foi
that day has this to say;
In connection with the Fourth of July celebration at
Anchorage and in order to get those passengers who ar
rive from the North July 4th to Anchorage at an early
hour, train No. 1 from Curry to Anchorage, will be annul
led and this equipment will be run as an extra train leav
ing Curry on July 4th at 5 o’clock in the morning, arriving
at Anchorage at 10:15 a. m.
Now then get this!
This train for Seward will be held at Anchorage until
7 o’clock in the EVENING of July 4th.
All Seward has ever wanted from the railroad has
been a square deal. We never have had it with this man
Cunningham and we don’t expect to get its o after all we
r.ve not disappointed or surprised at the change in Wed
nesday’s regular schedule.
MORE POWER TO THEM
It is to be noted with pride the great work that the
Seward Volunteer Fire Department is doing for the com
munity. In sponsoring the Fourth of July celebration
they have taken upon themselves a great responsibility.
Every cent collected from the local citizens for this cele
bration is utilized for that purpose only, and this year it
appears as if they will have to dig into their own fund.
They do not receive any compensation for this work—but
work for the interest and welfare of the Territory and
Seward. And they are not doing the duties assigned
them half-heartedly, but working with that vim and spirit
which in the end spells success. Seward is not only proud
of their Volunteer Fire Department but grateful to them.

MERRILL IS OUT OF
DINGER SAYS NIGHT |
REPORT FROM BURROW,
j Radio operator Heyser, Signal
Corps, at Point Barrow, reported last
night that Pilot Russell H. Merrill is!
much improved and out of danger,!
Yesterday’s local report had it that
Merrill was sinking and little hope
was held that he would recover from:
his recent terrible experiences in the'
Arctic.
It will be recalled that Merrill,1
upon alighting over a hundred miles
from Barrow, urged his two compan. i
ions to continue on to Barrow by foot:
I after his plane was snowed under. It
| was his plan to clear away the snow'
later, alone, and hop for Barrow by!
himself. How'ever, an additional snowr
fall or blizzard made it impossible to!
! take the plane off the ground.
I
j So he struck out alone on foot and
; with no food for he had (given his com. j
! panions everything the day previous.
■ !
1 Many days later he was found in the j
j snow -wrapped up in a robe; evidently!
; he had given up all hope of being
saved. The Eskimo who found him;
took him directly into Barrow'.
1
When picked up, Merrill had then
been nine days without food, was
snowblind, and in a terribly weakened
condition, for hfe only •subsistence
was a few rats which he had shot
with a 22. He had lost 36 pounds in
i i
weight
i
A heart.rending and pathetic situa.
tion took place upon the Eskimo find. I
|ing Merrill beside the trail. ApparJ
ently the Eskimo did not know' whoj
Merrill w'as, and was hesitant upon
i coming too close to him. The story
is told that Merrill raised himself up
and with the smile with which he al
ways greeted everyone, asked the Es.
kkno w'here he wras going. The Es
kimo replied. “To Barrow'”. Merrill
asked him if there wras any chance for
; him to go with him. The Eskimo an.
sw'ered “No”: that he had a full load
i
of freight and that the dogs could car.|
| rv no more. Merrill, relaxing and j
falling back upon his robe, but still,
;
I with a smile upon his contenance,;
! said. “Another tough break”.
The Eskimo clucked to his dogs:
and began moving off. A short dis_;
| tance awray he looked back and saw
' Merrill struggling to his knees en.|
deavoring to follow him. So he went!
back, loaded him on top the sled, and
! carried him into Barrow'.
