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.
