SEWARD COAL BUNKERS
With the decision to erect coal bunkers in Seward, as
authorized yesterday at Washington, D. C., by Secretary
Wilbur of the Department of the Interior, the coal mining
industry of Alaska, as well as Seward and Anchorage, will
benefit materially. The action of the far-sighted Secre
tary is acclaimed by all Alaskans and unquestionably will
open up new fields for Alaska coal as well as create new
tonnage revenues for the Alaska Railroad.
Colonel Otto F. Ohlson, general manager of the Al
aska Railroad, has always been a strong advocate for
construction of coal bunkers in Seward when assured ton
nage justified the expenditure which has been estimated
at approximately $75,000 and did not hesitate to support
Alaska’s Delegate to Congress, James Wickersham, who
recently introduced in the House of Representatives, Bill
H.R. 500, calling for such an appropriation for construc
tion and maintenance.
The Gateway, in particular, is deeply gratified by the
successful conclusion of this project for which it had edi
torially advocated for seven years.
A few residents in the north end of the city are won
dering what sanitation will be assured in the lagoon area
inasmuch as sewers empty into that body of water, now
governed by a flood-gate, but formerly taken care of by
the ebb and flow of tidal waters.
The Minneapolis state prison is short of printers and
editors to help publish its weekly newspaper. We al
ways knew members of the Fourth Estate were law abid
ing citizens but by the same token, perhaps they’ll ulti
mately achieve that prison goal.
A linotype operator turning bandit is indeed some
thing new, yet such a thing has come to pass, according to
a recent dispatch from the South. Perhaps he had read
of the announcement of a prison warden who said he wras
short of newspapermen in order to publish the , prison
weekly.
Sourdough Bill flatly denies the report he has been
tearing up his floors and breaking up his furniture for
fire wood. “The depression isn’t quite that bad,” he is
quoted as saying.
Out of one side of his mouth, Uncle Sam gives orders
to “fire” over 8,000 members of the Signal Corps, and out
of the other side emits a wail about the poor unemployed.
Alaskans are certainly gluttons for punishment. Each
time the government “smacks” Alaska on the jaw she
comes back for more; then turns the other cheek and
takes it again. Step-ehilds generally are that way.
Candidates sow the wind and expect to reap votes.
Not yet but perhaps soon: Racketeers amassing for
tunes of fabulous size while Alaska and Chicago school
teachers go without pay.
