WHAT WHITTEMORE SAYS.
Eddie Whittemore was sitting in the
lobby of the Overland with a cigar
sticking out of the port side of bis
mouth and both feet up on the window
ledge, when we sauntered in and asked
him point blank what be thought of
the future of Seward. He gave us one
careful look to see if we were kiddin,
and then moving the cigar to starboard
without using his bands, be said:
“What do [ think about Seward?
What does anyone think about Seward
who knows anything about it? it's
good. It’s the best camp in Alaska
today, bar none, anil I’m mighty glad
that 1 am here and have the lineup i
possess. Tm olT right and 1 am going
to make a bunch of money. I’ve been
stalling around Alaska a long time,
just waiting for a chance like this, and
now that it is here l am glad Tm here
too. Most people are banking a lot on
that railroad. Of course 1 know that
it is going to st rt from here and it
will lie 1 p to make times pretty good,
but man, it’s the country behind this
camp that's going to make it a win
ner. You are in the pay from our
back yard to the Yukon, and while that
coal will heip a lot with tonnage for a
railroad, they don't really need it, as
the country is rich enough back there
to support a railroad without coal.
Why, I quit Cordova two years ago be
cause I saw there was no future to that
place and came over here because 1
knew they couldu't keep away from
this place when something started, and
I’ve never been sorry. I was outside
last winter, and around Seattle you
never hear anything but Seward. W by
people %used to ring me up every day
and ask for information concerning
this place, not working men or people
looking for a job, but men with money
to invest and trying to get information
about the place. It is too bad that we
have uot got a bureau of information
in Seattle right now. It would be
worth thousands of dollars to us and
would help a lot of people out.
“Liariv in the winter one of the lish
%
camps down the coast was trying to
boom Portage bay, and made quite a
stir, but the funny thing about that
place is, that a> soon as a party who
is intending to go in there, gets some
reliable information about the place,
he changes his mind and forgets Port
Weils. Ever notice that?” We admit
ted that we had, and Mr. Whittemore
continued. “One of the best things
about Seward is the fact that it is
clear of the contamination of the Gugg
influence. You know that’s the worst
knock Cordova has to contend with
outside of her harbor and townsite. It
kills any town \ i111 the administration
and damns it with the working men.
I look for the greatest boom in Seward
that has ever struck an Alaskan town
and I am glad that I m here, and in a
position to take advantage of it.
