The stationing of the Geodetic Survey ship U. S. S.
Discoverer, Lt. Comdr. H. B. Campbell, and the auxiliary
vessel Westdahl, Lieut, L. D. Graham, at the Port of
Seward throughout the coming summer while carrying
on their valuable work in Southwestern Alaskan waters,
is exceptionally cheering news. Relations in the past
have ever been the most cordial between the officers
and men of these vessels and the citizens of Seward who
again sincerely welcome them.
It is a decidingly happy arrangement in that this
work will permit officers and crews to make Seward
their base. Here will be found many opportunities for
brief recreation of varied nature and again many fine
friendships will be formed/
THE COYOTE INVASION
A furred invasion seems to be creeping steadily
across Alaska, killing and scattering herds of reindeer,
caribou and wild sheep as well as plundering the catch
of trappers; it is expected to reach and overrun the
great migratory waterfowl breeding grounds on the
Bering Sea coast this summer. :
Coyotes, pursued as pests in the United States and!
Canada, spread into Alaska a comparatively few years
ago and in spite of a war declared against them in 1927
are still widening their frontiers of destruction.
These predatory beasts are highly elusive. Constant
migration is a problem but raising of bounties will be
of great help in their extermination or at least holding
the invading horde down considerably.
SEWARD GRADUATES
i
—
A word of praise will not be amiss of the local grad-!
nates who are now engrossed upon the problems to be;
solved following commencement.
While the race of humans poke fun at the young
sters, there is a lot to praise in the eagerness and hope
fulness with which the graduate faces his or her new
world. Youth may be criticized for lack of years, but if
cynical experience could solve half the problems that it
thinks it can, where would impetuous youth find any
thing to correct?
THE WOMEN FLYERS
America's intrepid women flyers, of whom Ruth
Nichols, Elinor Smith and Amelia Earhart Putman ap
pear to be out in front, are breaking one another's rec
ords so often it is difficult to keep up with them.
All records mentioned todate may have been bro
ken by the time this is printed, for these girls are mak
ing aviation history with a vengeance.
It's about time some Alaska girl stepped out and
made a national reputation for herself. Alaska is a fine
country in which to do that little thing as witness the
national reputations acquired by many of the males;
by heroic deeds and consistently backed by Alaska news
paper publicity and dispatches to the States.
This is the time of the year to ride around Seward
and feast your eyes on the natural beauty springing to
bloom. What a beautiful town Seward would be if all
citizens would make it their duty to add something to
the scene.
************
It won't be long now before the Alaska solons will
come marching home from the legislative fiasco.

100 DANCE PLEASED
Singularly attractive, exquisitely
dainty and winsome in appearance j
were the large number of school I
children and students in Friday
I evening’s May Day program which
preceded the dance in Odd Fel
lows hall.
; As bright as sunbeams in their
costumes, merriest voices of spring,
dancing with ease and grace, the
school children more than de
lighted the large attendance pres
ent.
Queen Katherine Horton drew j
the admiration of all by her i
charming appearance and that of !
her royal retinue including King j
Edward Sandbeck.
The hall was prettily decorated
by the students with floral deco
rations made at school and at
j home. Dancing continued until
'a late hour.
