LOWELL POINT A NAVAL RESERVE
A local resident desiring to locate a homestead at
Lowell Point on Resurrection Bay with the understand
ing that the land was no longer reserved dispatched a
communication to Judge James Wickersham at Washing
ton inquiring whether or not the land was subject to entry
to which the Delegate replied:
“After receipt of your favor of September 22, I took up
with the Interior Department the matter of the reservation at
Lowell Point. In answer I have just received a letter from the
Department giving the status of this land and stating that it is
still in the Naval Reserve and not subject to homesteading.
“This will not likely be the kind of news that you hoped to
receive, but it is one of those cases about which we can do noth
ing at present. I am enclosing the letter referred to and am.
retaining the copy so that you need not return to me the letter
of the Comissioner. With kindest regards .... and regretting
that I cannot be of more material service to you at present.”
The letter from the General Land Office to Judge
Wickersham referred to above, states in part:
“The records in this office show that by Executive Order
No. 773, dated March 23, 1908, approximately 3,350 acres of land
including Lowell Point on Ressurection Bay, Alaska, were re
served for the use of the Navy Department as a coaling depot.
There is no record in this office of the revocation of the above
Executive Order and the restoring of the land to the pubilc
domain. Accordingly, the land so reserved is not subject to
homestead entry.”
THE SEWARD PUBLIC LIBRARY
“Except a living man, there is nothing more wonderful than
a book: a message to us from the dead—from human souls we
never saw, who lived, perhaps, thousands of miles away. And
yet these, in those little sheets of paper, speak to us, arouse us,
terrify us, teach us, comfort us, open their hearts to us as bro
thers.”—George Kingsley. *
Yet, have you stopped to realize the sacrifice that is
attendant to provide a public with books. There is in
Seward an organization, formed last year, The Seward
Public Library, which has taken upon itself the work of
supplying Seward residents, residents along the railroad
belt, and others advantageous to Seward, with a service
that will bring to them the little sheets of paper, to speak
to them, to arouse them, to terrify them, to teach them, to
comfort them, and open their hearts to them. A service
that is public and is given to the public at a very economi
cal cost.
Yet, the Library needs money to purchase additional
volumes and it is with this purpose that the committee of
the Seward Library is holding a bake sale on Saturday,
October 24, in order to raise funds. It should be up to
Seward residents to show their appreciation of the work
that the organization is doing by aiding in making the
bake sale a success by: giving them their patronage. And,
besides, helping the organization out, there will be the
choice in edibles—and when you can please your palate
and help an organization out at the same time—what
more do you want?
Also, don’t forget, the Seward Library needs your
subscription. They now have almost 150 subscribers but
they are striving to secure 100 per cent renewal and to
increase the number to 200 subscribers before the close
of the present year. Help the Seward Library realize its
goal.
As evidence that England is committed to sacrifice in
an effort to solve its financial problems, it is reported that
the nobility has pledged itself to eschew” three bawths per
week.
To make their victim’s humiliation complete, Chicago
gangsters “took him for a ride” in an Austin.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 8. (By
| W.A.S.)—One of the Washington
| movie houses is this week showing
| a splendid picture of Mount Mc
i Kinley, at different altitudes and
i from ail sides, as taken from an
I airplane last summer. The an
S nouncer stated that the airplane
' ascended a distance of 22,000 feet
' and 1,700 above the top of the
! mountain.
Because of a recommendation by
the Department of Justice on Oc
I tober 3, President Hoover appoint
j ed Leroy M. Sullivan, of Cordova,
i as District Attorney for the Second
jDivision, with headquarters at
! Nome, to fill the vacancy now ex
l isting there. It is understood that
the new appointee will reach Nome
to assume his new duties in a short
j time. Soon after Mr. Sullivan
(reached Alaska he was given a po
jsition as law in the office of Judge
j Wickersham at Juneau. When the
I office of Auditor was created in
[May, 1929, and Cash Cole was
elected to that post by the Legisla
I ture, Mr. Sullivan was appointed
chief clerk and legal adviser. About
a year ago when Clyde Ellis re
signed as Assistant District Attor
ney in the Third Division, Mr. Sul
livan was appointed to succeed him.
He now advances another step be
cause of his indefatigable energy
in successfully performing the du
ties of his respective posts and a
high probity of character that has
| won him many friends and admir
j ers.
j Several Alaskans have made
i short visits to Washington during
| the past week. O. M. Carter, of
| Ketchikan, joined his wife here and
i together they drove to New York
| and Boston, expecting soon to
drive across the continent to Seat
tle, to take the steamer north. E.
A. Rasmussen, of Cordova, was
here for two days and during that
time paid his respects to the Pres
ident, Secretary Wilbur and the
Department of Justice. He is the
president of the Bank of Alaska at
Anchorage, Cordova, Skagway and
Wrangell. Some of his northern
friends are insisting that he be
come a candidate for Republican
National Committeeman. Yester
day E. W. Griffin, merchant and
president of the Kodiak Chamber
of Commerce, departed for Chica
go, after coming from New York
and spending four days in this city.
He expects to return to Kodiak in
November. Charles W. Hawkes
worth, acting chief of the Alaska
division, Bureau of Indian Affairs,
is being detained here in assisting
to prepare the annual budget for
his department. Mrs. Hawkesworth
accompanied him, and they both
expect to start west within a few
days.
* * * «•
Hon. Lynn J. Frazier, chairman
of the Senate Indian Affairs com
mittee, has notified the Delegate
that it will be impossible for his
committee to investigate Indian af
fairs in Alaska before the coming
session of Congress in December.
Announcement was made in the
Cordova Times that the Cordova
Mill and Lumber Company had
been awarded the contract for fur
nishing all lumber for the new gov
ernment school and hospital to be
constructed at Chitina. This award
was made after receiving competi
tive bids from all Alaskan mills
and many in the States.
