| -
In The Valdosta Daily Times, pub- j
; lished in Valdosta, Georgia, there ap- j
peared the following story about Sew
ard and Alaska, written by Rev. Gra
ham, Seward minister, but who origi
nally haled from the Southern State:
The interesting article follows:
Rev. Loy Warwick, pastof of the
| First Methodist church has received
an interesting letter from Rev. T. P.
Graham, of Seward, Alaska. Mr. ’Gra- j
ham is a classmate of Mr. Warwick’s.
He was transferred to the Far-West
about 22-years ago and finally reach
ed Alaska where lie is now' pastor of
| the Methodist church in Seward and
doing missionary work in that section
• of the Territory.
Mr. Graham said: “As I write I am
i 3,700 miles from my friends in Geor
iag and 2,000 miles nearer the North
loPe than they are.”
Although Alaska is nearer the North ,
Pole Mr. Graham says it is not all ice
and snow and glaciers as many people
think. “All the Southern, South
eastern and Southwestern parts have
a comparatively mild climate,” Mr.
Graham says. He has been two years
in Seward and the coldest weather i
they have had was 40 above zero—
above, not below. He gives this com- ;
- parative note: “ I happen to recall
■ , that on December 28, 1925, the tem
11 perature here wras from 36 to 48 above
! | zero; on that day, according to the
| government reports, it was five above
[ j in Georgia.”
[1 “During the summer wild flowers
1 i grow in abundance and in great varie
i ty and wonderful beauty. We have ma
! ny varieties of small fruits, strawber
I ries which are wonderful in point of
| size and flavor; wild currants, blue
! berries—acres and acres of them on
the sides of hills and mountains,
i Many varieties of vegetables are
| grown here; and both in size and
J quantity they cannot be surpassed.
I Our flower gardens would surprise
i you, both in the variety grown and the
i
I size of many of them.
| They have many birds, butterflies
J and bees, but “no fleas, chiggers or
! seed-ticks.” In some places there are
mosquitoes.
Alaska, Mr. Graham says, gets as
| many hours of sunlight in a year as
; any other part of the country, but
most of it is in the supimer time.
They have very long days in midsum
mer. “About 500 miles north of Sew
ard one begins to see the midnight
sun; yet here even, just now wTe have
but two hours of darkness, and even
during those two hours our after sun
set light continues.
There is plenty of ice in Alaska and
some of the largest glaciers in the
world, yet only about three and three
tenths per cent of the Territory is
covered by ice fields^ and glaciers.
Concerning the people Mr. Graham
says: “We have in Seward just as re
fined and well educated people as are
to be found in towns of similar size
