WELCOME HOME COLONEL OHLSON
The citizens of Seward welcome the opportunity to
day to again renew the acquaintance of General Man
ager Otto F. Ohlson, and his estimable wife, following
his visit to Washington, D. C„ on appropriation matters.
Whether he got a dime or not, is not of so much impor
tance; we’re just glad he is home again for in him we see
a fearless leader in the promotion of betterment along
the Alaska Railroad belt and its tributaries. His arrival
today spells the coming of spring and renewal of activi
ties and he should feel that the citizens of Seward are back
of him in any way which may assist him in carrying for
ward of ideas for the upbuilding of the territory through
which the railroad winds its way.
Possibly no railroad system in the world enjoys the
peculiar distinction which adheres to the farthest north
; trunk line—that of having specialists detailed in every
branch to deal with conditions peculiar to climate. This
is proven in the fact that while railroads in the States
view a zero zephyr and a foot of snow with panic, the
: railroaders of Alaska accept the challenge and shove
trains thru on schedule.
The stress of irony does not repose so much upon the
policy of making the Alaska Railroad an earning entity
as upon the fact that in the decade in which the bureaus
have held court in this section of Alaska, not one promise
of the federal government has made good.
!
. h If General Manager Ohlson believes his colonization
iq plan will bring about certain developments along the Alas
ka Railroad belt, why then, we are going to boost the
proposal along and give him every possible cooperation
possible.
An 82-year-old man had to pay $1 for alienating the
affections of another man’s wife. Perhaps the judge thot
a fellow that old couldn’t alienate more than a dollor’s
i worth. It’s a cinch the old chap wasn’t a “Sourdough.”
A musical expert declares that only two percent of
11 people can really sing. Our idea is that he is charitable.

AMERICAN RACERS TURN FROM EUROPEANS
i
a
- American motor racing officials, who have decided to drop Europ
ean racing specifications after 1930, have been told by Capt. Eddie V.
I Kickenbacker that the principal need today is for a simple and cheap
racing car that will bring about practical restiltt for stock machines.

GENERAL MANAGER
ALASKA RAILROAQ
BACK ON THE JOB
One whom Alaskans will wel
come home today is General Man
ager Otto F. Ohlson who, accom
panied by Mrs. Ohlson, arrive on
the S. S. Norhtwestern.
Nothing definite has been learn
ed from Washington, D. C., re
garding the annual appropriation
for the railroad but it is under
stood General Manager Ohlson
obtained adequate financial sup
port. While at Washington he gave
out his plans for a colonizing pro
ject and also announced the re
moval of the Washington, D. C.,
office of the Alaska Railroad, to
Chicago. It is believed this move
will be advantageous with respect
to stimulating tourist travel being
more centrally located.
It can be assumed Colonel Ohl- !
son will make a public statement j,
regarding Alaska Railroad ap- *
priations for the fiscal year, prior ,
to his departure for his Anchor
age offices.
He will obtain his first glimpse
of the new depot, upon his ar
rival, for upon his departure before
the holidays the work had not
been completed.
Dr. W. . Alton, father of Mrs.
Johnson Van Marter, died at Bay
City, Mich., recently. Mrs. Van
Marter is a well known citizen of
Ketchikan.
During the Christmas holiday
program at Nome fireworks were
set off for the amusement of the
children.

ketball team defeated the Alumni
squad last week by the score of
36 to 15.
