EASTERNER WRITES TO CON
GRESSMAN BURTON URGING
COAST GUARD SERVICE
The following letter, which is
I self explanatory, was received by
!the Seward chamber of commerce:
j Congressman Theodore Burton,
| Washington, D. C.
Dear Mr. Burton:
‘ The writer recently completed
a trip to Kodiak Island and other !
! western Alaska ports and was i
: greately impressed with the lack |
' of coast guard service afforded j
j shipping in Alaskan waters.
“During my short stay at Sew- j
ard last October the passenger
motor ship Discoverer which plys j
between Seward and Seldovia, be- 1
came disabled. Its passengers and j
1 crew were at the mercy of the
waters for five days before being 1
rescued at a distance of only 60
miles from the city of Seward
with no ship in port to go to its
rescue.
“The Steamer Starr, passenger
and mail boat which operates be
tween Seward and the Bering Sea
had to be rescued twice in the
past three or four months by pas
senger steamers that race two or
three days off their course to res
cue this ship within less than 100
miles off Seward or Cordova. *
“Three weeks prior to the Starr’s
last rescue by the steamshp Ala
meda, two fishing boats were lost
in these waters with a loss of 16
men and the Cordova Times’ statis
tics stated over $4,000,000 worth of
boats have been lost in the North
Alaska gulf waters in the past few :
years to mention nothing of t h e i
large number of lives lost in those
waters.
“I have been informed by ac- i
quaintances in Alaska that they 1
are trying to make a general ap
peal to congress and the Coast
Guard service and are asking the
aid of disinterested citizens of the
States who have been in these
waters to try and have some dras- |
tic action put in operation so that I
a Coast Guard Cutter can be sta
tioned in the North Alaska Gulf to
protect American lives and prop
erty.
“If in in connection with your
many arduous duties you can give
the above matter a little of your
time, I know you will be produc
ing good service for the protection
of American lives and commerce in
the aforesaid waters.
“I know that it will be appre
ciated by many of our grateful
citizens your constitutients and
the citizens of Alaska especially
residents of the territory bordering
the upper gulf of Alaska.”
Respectfully yours,
International Metal Hose Co., Inc.
By Wm. H. Miller, Vice Pres.
RAILROAD JUNK
Thousands of tons of junk, gath
ered up from yards, shops and

cording to General Manager Ohl
son, and will probably be shipped
