BRIGHTER PROSPECTS
According to present prospects, from where we
sit, it looks like Seward should be a mighty good place
to locate in next spring. It looks like there will be sev
eral payrolls in this area going on at the same time
and work done that will open up country for the future
settler. They will be works that will endure; the bene
fits of which will not cease with the ending of con
struction.
They should bring added population where oppor
tunity awaits constructive effort. With additional fish
ing activities, more fur farming, more mining, agricul
ture, stock-raising, more lumbering, added tourist and
hunting accommodation and much more local building,
there is a great deal to look forward to.
The breakwater alone will be a distinct gain in
every way. Local citizens will go in for boating; it is
known that at least two bureaus contemplate s t a
tioning craft here providing proper protection is af
forded. In fact, a harbor of refuge for small vessels in
Resurrection Bay, means so much to the Port of Sew
ard that we hesitate to go into details for fear we
might bring down the wrath of other towns. But, like
a good man, it is impossible to keep a GOOD town
down, or relegated to the backgrund.
PHILOSOPHY OF HURRY
There is such a thing as hurrying your work and
not dawdling on the job; there may be need of hurry!
to the aid of a friend or one in distress; one should hur-j
ry to do right and delay to do wrong; there are many j
places for “hurry” in the lexicon of life.
But what is this new philosophy of life that must
needs hurry us in every phase of our existence? Why
this increased motif? this accelerated tempo? “Hur
ry, hurry, hurry,” across the sea, across the land, thru
the air, in one mad race to get somewhere, and not
knowing particularly what to do after we get there,
faster trains, faster ships, faster planes. It would
seem the race has gone speed mad. People wall drive
recklessly to beat a locomotive to a grade crossing and
loiter an hour in the next village. We tear violently
thru city parks, honking at startled pedestrians, who
have to “hurry” to get out of the way. We go for a
scenic journey thru glorious mountains but the spirit
of hurry is in our blood and we cannot even pause to
marvel at a vivid sunset. Have we gone crazy? Is there
no longer time for calm contemplation of life and the
good things in it?
A MATTER OF FEED
Why do certain hams, bacons and other meats give
olfactory and gustatory sensations more so than other
kinds? The answer is simple. Its in the feed.
So! Alaska reindeer meat can become as popular
as the choicest on the market but not, we think, by
raising ‘em on moss. We would drive them a little fur
ther south of the Arctic line where luscious grasses
are as abundant as the best cattle ranges of the world.j
The reindeer industry of Alaska will one day be a j
great success but that day will be much nearer pro-1
viding the foraging scene shifts southward.
Alaska had produced to the end of 1928 mineral
wealth having an aggregate value of about $599,485,-1
000. This output is remarkable, considering that large
mining operations were practically confined to the
coastal regions, easily accessible to ocean transporta
tion, and that the vast mineral wealth of the Interior, j
except the richest of the gold placers and copper lodes[
were almost untouched.
