TELLS SEATTLE PEOPLE
ABOUT GROWTH OF SEWARD
F. (i. Hale Hives The Times a Stock j
of Information of Alaska Cen
tral Terminus
F. C. Hale, president of the Hank of j
Seward, while in Seattle to purchase j
fixture^ for ill' m*w hank building, j
was interviewed by a Seattle Times i
reporter, and a result the people of !
the Sound city were enlightened in
this wise:
The rapid growth of Seward to mot- i
ropolitan rank, as described by Mr. ;
Hale, is an illustration of the great
development Alaska is undergoing. '“1
believe it will surprise even the people
of Seattle," said Mr. Hale this morn
J ing, “to know that Seward, although
hut two years old, is one of the most
up-to-date little towns on the contin
ent. livery branch of business is rep
resented there by several linns in each
branch, and three of the stores are al
ready doing a considerable wholesale
trade. We are putting up a new bank
building 25 by 60 feet, two stories
| high, of concrete blocks throughout
! and plate glass front. I believe it
i will be the best business block in Alas
ka. Another business block there,
with front of concrete blocks and plate
glass, was finished only a little while
before I left.
“While the business men now in
Seward are doing a profitable business,
there are plenty of them to care for the
field until the rails of the Alaska Cen
tral Railway are laid out to about mile
75. At present they are at mile 47,
but the grading is finished for several
miles beyond, and as soon as the tun
nels on miles 51 and 52 are bored
tracklaying will be pushed ahead.
“The mineral discoveries in the
Matanuska and Susitna valleys have
turned out surprisingly rich. I be
lieve the new Yentna district is cer
tain to be another Tanana. The coal de
posits of the Matanuska, Susitna and
Cantwell valleys extend 250 miles
north and south, and it is equal to tho
best grade of coal on the continent.
The Susitna valley, too, is capable of
supporting an agricultural population
of 1,000,000 people.
“When the Alaska Central railroad
is finally completed to the Tanana
river, Seward will do the jobbing and
financial business for three-quarters of
the population of the territory. Un
less Seattle jobbers in the meantime
establish branches there they are cer
tain to lose the bulk of the business
they are now doing. Two wholesale
houses in Portland have already estab
lished agencies at Seward in anticipa
tion of the future developments and
shifting of trade.”
A committee appointed by the Brit
ish parliament to investigate the
tramp problem in England estimates
that in seasons of depression there are.
80,000 tramps in that country, and that
it is never less than half that number.
OIL TANK BLOWS
UP AT PORTLAND
Streams of Blazing Fluid Run
Down to River and Drive
Out All Boats.
By Cable to Tlio Dally Gateway.
Portland, July 2 — The Union oil
tanks five miles south of the eity were
blown up at midnight, causing a tre
mendous shock to the vicinity. Many
windows were broken and people were
awakened and rushed out of doors be
lieving that an earthquake had
shaken the region.
A great stream of blazing oil ran
down toward the river and all boats
were forced to hurry away to escape
the flames. The tanks of the Standard
Oil Company are near the Union tanks
and caught tire. They are still burn
ing. It is reported that two lives
were lost.
