HELLO AND GOODBYE!
We have written so many welcome editorials re
cently to distinguished visitors from the East that we
are up against it at the present writing; we can’t get a
new slant this morning on how to say, “Welcome to
Seward; may you enjoy yourselves, etc.”
Seward feels greatly honored to be hosts for a very
brief period today to the Congressmen, high officials
of Washington, and their ladies. Here you will find a
sincere personal friendship extended which will ever
linger down through the years. But we are sorry that
Old Sol failed us today so that Resurrection Bay and
the surrounding mountains would be visible to you in
all their beauty. This is the place which the late Presi
dent Harding quoted: “A Gem in a Perfect Setting.”
Here it was that he took time off from his ,w<ork and
worry and sauntered about the streets and countryside,
alone; he rested here and was extremely sorry when
time for leaving came.
Seward would like to see her visitors today remain
over for a few days, but time, evidently, does not per
mit. So in bidding you goodbye Seward sends you on to
Interior Alaska with the knowledge that you folks, tho*
in a hurry, will have glimpsed the outer edges of the real
Alaska which may be sufficient for improved perspect
ives on a much, misunderstood Territory.
A SUDDEN CHANGE IN SCENICS
In a recent edition of the Sunday Los Angeles Times i
there appears in the rotogravure section a photograph J
of the Alaska Railroad loop but in the. brief article ac
companying the illustration the loop is placed on the
Copper River & Northwestern Railway.
We can’t stand for that!
We had a great time when that Los Angeles Cham
ber of Commerce gang visited us a few weeks ago but
had no idea Alaska booze was so potent that it could
move a section of a railroad system with one fell^ swoop.
That isn’t quite proper either, for we leave the impres
sion the boys were heavy drinkers. As far as we know
they didn’t drop a drink.
’ They gave Anchorage a beautiful loving cup, Cor
dova the “Loop,” and Seward the ‘royal salute;” at least
so it seems. That’s all right, we like ’em anyway. Come
again and often.
OUR HOMELAND, ALASKA
To Alaskans there is no land quite like Alaska in
the world.
France has its air of gayety and an underlying
fierceness of life’s struggle. There is little rest there,
only strenuous bargaining and ruthless exploitation.
Belgium, an undergrown Paris. Germany, methodical,
plodding, a stucco Gomorrah. Spain, an extinct crater
beneath which a new volcanic stream is seeking a vent,
but Alaska, a land of comrades, contentment; a great
Territory of hospitality.
Dante in his most prodigal mood might have dreamt
of the thriving cities of the world, of steel and con
crete; a da Vinci might have planned it. But Alaska is
incomparable, beautiful with its quietness, its ineradi
cable good humor and its sublime muddle.
The blazing color and fragrance of it!
The activities along the Seward Waterfront today
with its three ocean-going vessels, tugs, dredges, scows
and fleet of small boats, is but a glimpse of what the
future holds for Seward. Get an eye-full!

“I appreciate very much your cor
dial salute of me and my enthus
iasm for Alaska but one expres
sion failed in fairness to us all and
should be corrected.
“I am not ‘infatuated’ with Al
aska! Infatuation means ‘false love,
insincere fascination, shallow and
temporary.’ My love for Alaska is
true and sincere, as real as its
great beauty and as abiding and
permanent as its ‘everlasting hills’
from which I have already derived
inestimable strength and deep spir
itual inspiration. It should not be
possible to think unworthy thoughts
or do evil deeds in such pure tonic
air! Alaska should be a synonym
for clear, straight thinking and up
right citizenship.
“And so you can see that my
emotion and intrest are genuine.”
Mrs. F. R. Wadleigh, Anchorage.
