WATER COMPANY DOES
LOT OF IMPROVEMENTS.
The Seward Water & Power Com
pany received another shipment of
about 2.000 feet of water mains on
the last Admiral Evans, and today
has '4 men laying it down Madison
street from Fourth avenue to the
new roundhouse being built by the
Alaskan Engineering Commission.
This piece of new water main finishes
the laying of some 0,000 or 10,000
feet of new mains by the Water
company in the past two months.
Among the new’ sections of the city
supplied by the new mains are, Second
avenue from Adams street to the
water front; similarly Third avenue;
Sixth avenue also has new mains
from Adams to Railroad avenue; the
government tract has been supnliod
with water; and fina!l> the mains
supplying the new machine shops
powt r ami water for the steam en
gines. The Seward Water & Power
company has at the present time sev
en men at work putting in new flumes
and mains, where necessary, and re
pairing the old flumes and mains from
the source of Seward's water supply j
on Lowell Mountain to the resevoir. j
It ill take the company about two |
weeks to finish this piece of w’ork. and j
when completed the water system
here will he in prime condition. With
the new mains put in here and on the
townsite proper, and the mains that
were down before the present water
system will have over five miles of
mains, with a pressure anywhere over
the' town that no city in Alaska can
boa.-t of.
Tne Water company has placed an j
order with a firm outside for ten
new water hydrants which they ex
pect on one of the next boats, fhey
will be installed immediately after
the^r arrival. This will give the city
a fire protection of inestimabV value,
v i».h the hydrants already in place.
HORSE SWIMS ACROSS BAY.
One of the big sorrel horses recent
ly Drought here by J. R. Worth per
formed one of the most remarkable
feats for animals of his kind in these
parts, by swimming the entire dist
ance across the bay from somewnerc
on the shore 'ine between Fourth of
Julv creek and Joe Hofman's ranch
and landing on this shore in front of
the Seward Iron Works. The di>
tanee is at least three miles across
the bay and the water is cold, and it
must have taken at least two hours
to swim over. The other horses in
the bunch left this ho:se alone over
there and it just swam over to join
the hunch. Some men her** took it
for a moose and came near taking a
she: at it.
