SEWARD, ALASKA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 27, 1915.
The Gateway takes a special delight In the fact that it has passed
through the narrow channel of doubt and is privileged to be here to chronicle
the greatest items of news that a town of the class of Seward has ever heard.
The fact that it was through this paper the story of the purchase of the rail
road was circulated throughout the district is a gratifying one. Nor is this
gratification due to any merit on the part of the papo* but the pleasure comes
to have been simply the medium used for the distribution of the various
pieces of railroad inteliligenee that were ot such paramount interest to all of
us. The day of uncertainty has passed. We have all worried for a year or
so. We chose Seward because we believed in Seward and the wh
ilom of our choice has been proven at hist. We have taken a chance and won.
The news which came yesterday set at rest for ever all the uncertainty
which has interfered with our good old city’s progress. Behind us is the
guessing and worry, before us is the straight and easy road, leading to the
goal for which Alaskans have so long striven. Seward stands today in what
may be described as the most enviable position which a town of its size could
reasonably hope to occupy. It is the ocean terminal of a great railroad
serving vast areas of territory which may be said to be still in the womb,
virtually unborn and certainly undeveloped. Beyond us and around us on
, very hand, seaward and landward, are resource* of which we have now no
conception. The man who cannot see beyond the unseen, so to speak, and who
t an not discern the almost boundless possibilities of a tremendous land like
this is on an intellectual par with the man who leaves a placer camp because
the gold is not sparkling on the surface of the ground ready to be grasped.
Seward is at the threshold of a wonderful career. Let no man be presumptu
ous enough to say that because he cannot see the wealth sparkling in the
gravel such wealth does not exist. Remember always that the lesson of the
history of all new lands is that no pessimism can set a limit to the onward
march of a great undeveloped territory like this.
At the moment when Seward is enjoying the success which has been con
firmed it should take care to link with that success in its memory the mem
bers of the Alaska Engineering commission. We know now, and we have
always guessed, that powerful influences were at work to wrest the prize
from this city, and we also know that Mr. Edes, Mr. Riggs and Mr. Mears
remained unmoved and unimpressed by those influences. They were given
a task to perform by the government and they performed that task as able and
conscientous men. Let us hope that their choice will be proven, as we know
it will be proven, to have been par excellence the right and proper one, and
iet us hope that they will all live to see Seward a great and flouri>hing iity
and their railroad a great and successful enterprise.
The people of Seward are now citizens of a town which is on the upward
march. The advance may be quick or it may be slow but advance it will be
for many years to come. The railroad will tor all practical purposes bring to
our doors resources which are now lying afar off and out of touch. A mine,
for instance, two hundred miles away on the railroad line will be practically
the same to us as a mine twenty miles away and without a means of reach
ing it. The railroad bring?- us to the resources and brings the resources to us.
The destiny of Seward is to be the gateway of thousands of square miles of
territory, which if only a tenth part as productive as any other territory on
earth will still be productive enough to ensure the city’s prosperity. What
more pleasant outlook from the material point of view could a people have ?
We are citizens of a city that cannot but grow and draw us up w ith it if we
are only true to ourselves.
