NEED FOR MARINE WAYS Each winter sees a large fleet of halibut boats, can nery tenders and other small craft plying Western Alaska waters, heading for ports farther south to tie up until the fishing season opens. The same fleet spends consid erable money in other ports for repairs and overhauling. This is because there are no facilities available at Seward for hauling out in emergency and making hull repairs. When such repairs are made it is necessary to beach on high tides and work between ebb and flow, oftentimes in mud and water. Now that Seward has a breakwater, all that is needed is a small marine way to lure the fishing fleet to the har bor and make it a convenient place for tying up in winter. There are many ideal spots for the ways, and Seward is signally equipped to handle any class of repair required, with its complete woodworking plants and machine shops. A crane is stationed permanently at Seward. If such a ways were located close to the railroad, this crane would be available, at a nominal cost, for pulling out the cradle to handling heavy parts, such as installing engines, etc. Maybe here is an opportunity for someone. SAWYER CARRYING ON The September 28 issue of the San Francisco Chron icle carried a splendid lead editorial, “By Motor to the Arctic Circle,” accompanied by an excellent, large detail drawing, “What a Road This Will Be.” In the November 11 issue of the same great daily newspaper was published a news story of the proposed International Highway. The November 9 issue of the United States, Wash ington, D. C., also carried a lengthy news article relative to length, costs and other details. In all of these, as in the hundreds appearing during the past two years, is seen the deft hand of Ernest Walker Sawyer, member of the International Highway Commis sion. Such intelligent and persistent publicity can result in one thing only—success! Apparatus has been constructed to salvage the cargo of the Lusitania, sunk during the war. The arts of peace may be able to raise the treasure in gold, but there will be no raising, at this time, which will bring back the lost treasure of lives. The arts of war have"claimed them permanently, so far as the efforts of men are concerned. When peace is declared, and war goes into bankruptcy, no equitable settlement with creditors is possible. A boy is killed by a fall from a ladder, in rescuing his dog from a fire. The dog, if able to climb a ladder, prob ably would have done as much for the boy. Though no consolation to his parents, it may be remarked by others that, at .least, he has paid a part of the debt that men owe to dumb animals. The lad's heroism and sacrifice was not wasted on an unworthy object. About 98 per cent of Alaska land is free and un taxable. There are 525,942 acres represented in farms in the Territory of which 58.793 are in the Third Division. Of this 3,288 acres are improved. The first vessel, the Phoenix, was built on the Pacific Coast in 1794, and in Resurrection Bay, Seward, Alaska, Many slumbering business concerns are waking tc the value of continuous advertising and are starting no^ to build up trade by using the printed page not once in a while, but all the while. t .<>6 1 5.90 .15 ■" .16 " 12.00 ■' 16.00 ^Member 1q31^ National Editorial Association men SCHOOL HOOPSTERS PUT ALUMNI FRIDAY EVE j Friday night the Seward high - j school basketball team will play the I Alumni team, according to present " j preparations.
