ill LOCAL VISITOR
O. G. Herning, father of the
first white boy born in Seward,
was among those leaving today for
Wasilla, where he has been making
his home since about 1910..
Mr. Herning is engaged in the
mercantile business, the Knik
Trading Co., in that booming re
gion of Wasilla, and has been a
Seward visitor since Thursday,
getting some dental work done
and attending to other business.
Mr. Herning and family used to
live in Seward in the early days,
and built and formerly owned
the building now occupied by Cur
tis Morford. When the Hernings
moved from Seward they sold this
building to Evans, at one time
marshal of Seward. They left
Seward in 1903 or 1904.
Mr. Herning’s son Stanley, the
first white boy to be born in
Seward, is also living at Wasilla—
grownup and married. He works
with his ^father in the store in
the winter and in the summer
he drives a “cat.”
Surfacing of the two miles of
road from Hot Springs landing on
the Tanana River, to Fairbanks
was recently completed by A1 Cope
land and crew, reports the Fair
banks News-Miner.
Twelve canneries in the Ketchi

canneries was 198,632 cases, re- j
ports the Chronicle.

j This is not a code message or an
I Indian war cry, but names sug
gested for the new $400,000 Alaska
school supply ship to be built for
the United States Bureau of In
dian Affairs, says The Alaska
Weekly.
Then names more easily pro
nounced were suggested for the
new vessel, including Point Bar
row, Seward, Point Hope and Al
aska Teacher. The word Indian
i was rejected because the hardy
! warriors of the Arctic detest the
I name. Kanakanak seemed con
i venient for it spelled the same
I forward and backward.
The keel for the new vessel,
: which is to replace the power
! schooner Boxer, was laid this week
| at the plant of the Berg Shipbuild- j
mg Company. She will have ac- |
commodations for 30 passengers i
land will ply from Seattle to the
villages and reindeer stations on
I the Alaska coast as far as Point
I Barrow.
