ANTICIPATING FUTURE DEMANDS
Another instance of the activity of the Port of Sew
ard is seen in the announcement of Captain Heinie Ber
ger of the Motorship Discoverer, in which he has antici
pated the immediate need of even a better service to Cook
Inlet ports than he has rendered during the two seasons
since he inaugurated the service.
Monday he proposes to depart for Seattle with his
vessel where it will be lengthened and repowered with
larger motors as well as a general overhauling to make
room for additional and more comfortable passenger ac
comodations. He will thus keep pace with progress and
growth of the area he serves and will, upon resumption
of service in a few months, be capable of meeting the most
exacting demands, either in point of freight haulage or
passenger accomodation; the installation of new and
more powerful marine engines, further accentuates his
earnest desire as to completeness of his service.
General Jadwin, Chief of U. S. Army Engineers, the
man who disapproved of extending the Anchorage rail
road dock or the dredging of the harbor, is the same man
who, in his annual report said, “Seward is destined to be
come one of the great cities of Alaska.” He was. at the |
time, approving the local breakwater project.
While making adjustments the Radio Commission
fell down by failing to restrict the hours for station stat
ic as witness the situation yesterday when no word could j
he heard about Herbert Hoover on board the Battleship |
Maryland off the coast of Chili.
When Malthus predicted the eventual overpopula
tion of the earth he was unable to foresee the era of au
tomobiles, gunmen and synthetic liquor.
No police news is good news, too.
A Alaskan gentleman, in a Seattle hotel, lost about j
$400 taken from his trousers pocket while he was asleep.;
The case is greatly complicated by the fact that he is un-1
married.

PRINCE RUPERT, Dec., 8, (/P) -
Elope for the rescue of the missing
ha lib liters Brunvold and Imperial
dropped lower when the Interna
tional Fisheries Commission vessel
Dorothy returned from an unsuc
cessful search of Alaskan waters.
Members of the crew related
trappers told them of seeing a

the beach south of Yakutat, Gulf ,
of Alaska. The Dorothy, was off
Middleton Island last Monday but !
was unable to make a landing be- j
cause of heavy seas.
B. P. II. YELL CREW
One of the interesting side
lights at last evening’s basketball
game was the lusty clamor set up
by the B. of P. R- yell squad led by
Promoter Harris. The boys vied
with the high school yell team and
almost smothered them, at times.
