IMPROVEMENTS AT SEWARD
(Seattle Times)
Reward's greatest importance as an Alaskan seaport is
^ indicated by Major General Edgar Jadwin, chief of
Army engineers, in recommendations to Congress for
funds for harbor improvements. Dredging of tide flats
and the building of a breakwater near the mouth of Res
urrection River will provide better navigation facilities
and safer shelter for small craft engaged in the fishing in
dustry. The estimated cost of the work is $85,000.
Seward is close to the best halibut banks in the world.
If the improvements suggested by General Jadwin are
made it would become a transshipment depot of conse
quence. In Resurrection Bay ocean vessels Can dock at
any time of the year and they would bring to mainland
markets the catches of small boats.
Inasmuch as Seward is thp deep-sea terminal of the
federal railroad, which operates between that city and
Fairbanks, in the Interior, the Government could well af
ford to help the city’s industrial development. Congress
should not delay the requested appropriation.
Americans carry more life insurance than any other
people. And need it more.
Some men are known by their deeds, others by their
mortgages. T
Regular party men consider that those who bolt are
only nuts.
There is no liklihood of a drouth severe enough to
dry up the political mud that is beginning to be flung at
the present writing.
People of the United States are the most wealthy.
But they have to be in order to meet the installments.
We’re for whichever candidate who feels that it
makes more difference to the people than to himself
whether he is elected president.
