DON? KID YOURSELF
A prominent citizen, talking to the
Editor of the Gateway last night, said
that the item in yesterday’s Gateway
regarding the building of coal bunkers
in Seward and also the prospects of a
pulp mill in this section, was more in
the nature of a “possibility” than a
“Probability”
You’re right, that was the impres
sion meant to be conveyed.
The quicker Seward people stop
kidding themselves, the better. There
is no city in Alaska nor no class of
citizens in the territory having so
much to expect, and they will realize
it, if they go after it. But it is not
done. Citizens sit down and wait for
something to come.
For three years, every fall, look for
a better spring, and in the spring
comes the talk, there is a fine fall
ahead.
The railroad construction has gone
beyond, nothing can now be expected
from the commission until the rail
road is completed, when through traf
fic is offered, and Seward will be the
real terminus, on the ocean.
Forget about the commission.
As to the navy, the building of coal
bunkt rs on Resurrection is practically
decided. But what of it- there will be
a couple of hundred men engaged in
the construction of the bunkers, then
they will go. Then the bunkers will

be operated by machinery with per
haps a crew of from ten to fifteen;
men. These men may make their
'homes at Seward, especially if they
are to be engaged for the year around.
Colliers will come, load within a day j
or so and .go. The crews will purchase
tobacco, magazines, and other like ar
ticles. Perhaps they will purchase
clothing. But by the constniction of
coal bunkers at Seward, it does not
necessarily mean a population of 500
fnore or so.
What is needed Hi another cannery,
anotifer cold storage plant, because
Seward is the center of the fishing
industry in southwestern Alaska* With
the San 'Juan plant here and other
fishing industry here, Seward will
grow. It will mean that the crews of
the fishing boats will bring their
families to Seward for they will be
employed here for perhaps nine
months of the year bringing in fish
for the cold storage plants and for the
canneries, during the canning season.
These crews will outfit here,etc., as
it wiil be their base.
Now regarding the pulp mill- ev
eryone wants a pulp mill nere and one
may be built,' but when is not known.
It takes money to build a pulp mill,
several million dollars. The one
Speil river, in Southeastern Alaska
will cost when completed $2,000,000.
If Bart Thane and associates erect a
pulp mill at Thane, on Gastineau
channel, $3J>0O,00Q will be spent.

There is more timber in Southeastern
Alaska for pulp wood than to the
westward. There is also plenty of wat
er power and both will be utilized be
fore the westward is entered, accord
ing to tree reasonings. Freight rates
to the states from southeastern Alas
ka will be cheaper than from South
western Alaska and this is a big item ;
to take into consideration, in competi-1
tion.
Don’t strain at a camel and swal
low a no-see-em.
Dut Seward can go after and get
y l
a storage plant, or two and pezhaps
another cannery. Of coui-se there is a
gix‘at future for Seward but it is not
going to be realized within the next
few months.
We have the coal in tthe Matanus
ka fields, but it is going to take time
to get that coal out of old Mother1
Earth. If there was coal there now for
the navy, over 300 tons of British
Columbia coal would not have arzived
on the freighter Skagway, now in
port, for the navy radio station at the
of the bay.
Don’t kid, get down to bz-ass tacks
and go after the fishing plants and
it.en something definitely will be real
ized, and soon. \

WIRELESS APPARATUS
FOUND SUNKEN IN SEA
%
MALTA, Sept., 17— A complete
wireless appratus which was anchor
ed in 20 fathoms of water off Mell
eha Bay, wii\ the mast and working
parts below the surface to a depth
of about eight fathoms, has been
discovered by a party of Maltese
fishermen.
The apparatus, which was subse
quently removed by the dockyard
authorities for examination, is of
German construction and is complete
in every detail.
Undoubtedly signalling went on
regularly during the war with sub
marines lying in wait for British
vessels, it being quite possible to sink
the mast before the operations were
detected.

Ninety-nine cents a day for three good
meals and the rent of a comfortable
house!
No, this isn’t a story of days gone
by; it is statistics on what it is cost
ing some of the students at Kansas
State agricultural college to live right
now.
They live in the "practice house”
of the home economics division, six
of them at a time, in six-week
shifts. By doing their owfl work and
keeping house according to the latest
scientific wrinkles, they have got their
expenses down to 24 cents apiece for a
meal, and $1.90 a week apiece for rent,
light, water, gas, etc. The girls say
they have good things to eat and plen
ty of them.
