MORE ON PEPS
(Continued from Page One)
“I hate the thought of leaving and
having to sacrifice my business,” Mr.
Phelps stated last night, “but illness
in my immediate family in San
Francisco is so vital that word has
been sent to me that I must come. It
is the only thing in the world which
really could have made me take this
step, selling my business—and I have
done well—and departing from my
many friends. If I ever return to
Seward again, which is doubtful, it:
will be only for a visit, for the family
affairs in the States will keep me fully
occupied. It is my intention to re
main here about a month more, tho
it is urgent that I leave sooner, but
so many matters are yet to be attended
to I doubt if it can be accomplished
within that period. I put off selling
the place as long as possible, but it
had to come about.”
For 14 years Mr. Phelps followed
the mining game ,as he says ‘‘search
ing for a gold mine.” He finally quit
in disgust, after spending those years
prospecting all over the Prince Wil
liam country, Hope, Sunrise, the Val
dez district ,and other places. Being
in Valdez at the time the rumor ar
rived that a railroad was going to be
constructed out of Seward, he and a
number of others, including T. W.
Hawkins, and also Mrs. Schallerer,
came over. That was in 1903, and
ever since they, three of the original
17 pioneers, have been residents of
the city.
To hear Mr. Phelps recall those
earlier days is another story in it
self—a story which kindles the
blood and strikes a flint to the strain
of adventure in all. Of the busy con
struction days and thousands of peo
ple mingling in the activity; of the
growth of Seward since the first cab
jin was built, and of the many diffi
culties experienced by the city in
forging its way to its present status.
Then there was that period when in
quest for gold, when harrowing es
capes from death on land and sea,
particularly the time when for almost
50 hours he and his partner fought
out a tempest in the sound in an open
small skiff. Mr. Phelps will take
memories down to California with him
and if he can be persuaded to retell
just a few of them a great similarity
may be noted in pioneering days in the
Territory and of that great Southern
State.

LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
