SI WARP. ALASKA, MONDAY, APRIL 26, 1915.
STARVING IN SEWARD.
In the beginning of this month there were a thousand people Jiving on
charity in this city of Seward. If anyone doubts this he need only take up
the Seattle Post Intelligencer of April 8 and read the interviews in the
column devoted to hotels, one of the most remarkable symposiums, by the
way, in journalism dealing with Alaska wonders.
The interview is with one Colonel (J. T. Barrett of Kati lla and this
martial gentlemen is made responsible for the statement that there are more
people broke and living on charity in Seward than would make a much
larger population than the whole population of Seward counting men, wo
men. children and Katalla. At that time the population of Seward was not
quite seven hundred so that when one thousand people were living on charity
they were eating each other up. There’s no way out of it, Colonel.
But, levity a>ide, it is hardly fair for any people or any newspapers to
publish such miserably informed opinions. If there is a man living on charity
in Seward it is awfully hard to find him. Men do not live on charity in Al
aska. They may be broke, and some of the best of them do go broke, but
anyone who lives on charity is neither an Alaskan nor does he find a foot
hold in Alaska.. The people of Seward are more prosperous than any com
munity of equal standing in the Cnitod States and far greater numbers can
find prosperity here if the knockers only keep the silence that would be much
more becoming and would bring them farther along towards the goal that
they ought to be seeking.
In the old days when stampeders arrived on the ground where a strike
had been reported to have been made, and when they saw just a quiet creek
with a few men and no gold in sight they were wont to hit the back trail and
tell everyone that the reported strike was nothing but a fake, lhis was due to
a condition of mind brought about by the dullness of the scenes around them
and their isolation from centers of population. The very same psychological
phenomenon may he observed here today but in a less intense form. Men
have come direct from cities large or small, who had pictured to themselves
a scence of feverish activity even before the men who are to construct the rail
road had arrived. They have jumped into a town which has not yet been hit
by the boom and they have not yet relinquished the old ideas as to the value
of property—ideas fostered by many years of experience in passing placer
camps. We humans are too prone to observe only the things which are im
mediately in evidence We let the matters close to our view point shut out
the greater range of vision which we might secure by looking above and be
yond.
Le us remember that the day is not far distant when Sunday excursions
will be running between Seward, Ship (.reek and Matanuska. Maybe, we
shall soon see even a western Alaska baseball league of several teams which
will travel to and fro between those* towns and aid in making fine old holi
days. Maybe, also, the day is coming when we shall have the long pro
posed university of Alaska, and that it will be here in Seward, in the center
of the greatest population, is a certainty. Maybe* we shall have the Alaska
mining experiment station provided for by congress here. Ignoring the
danger of again being told that the idea is a joke, we may yet have* the
capital of the territory on Resurrection Bay. We shall surely have the
federal courts, etc. in this city or else* the division will have to be divided,
which may be the better cour-e and let Valdez continue in the possession of
what it has. These are a few things to look forward to.
