May Lose Cable Office
A station of the Alaska govern
ment cable may not he established
at Seward. It may, instead, la
placed at some point in Resurrec
tion bay, some distance from Sew
ard. Difficulty in securing a site
for a cable station in the town ow
ing to the high price asked for
land may la* responsible for the
change in plans.
On Muv 1 the Burnside sails foi
Valdez to start a survey prepara
tory to laving the cable. Instead
■if going straight from Valdez to
Seward, I owever, the officers of tie
government will, as a part of their
survey duty, select a point suitable
for the cable station outside of
Seward.
A site wa« already selected in
Sewafd, and Uncle Sam had prac
tically decided to purchase two ad
joining lots in the town. John K.
Ballainc, one of the promoters of
the Alaska Central railway, and
also a director, has practical con
trol of the selling of the townsitc
lots at Seward. He quoted his
rates for the lots, which the gov
ernment considers exorbitant. As
it is explained at the signai office,
there is no absolute necessity of
the terminus of the cable being at
Seward and the government d»x-s
not intend to pay any great amount
for its land in u town the size of
Seward.
