SAWYER “SELLING” ALASKA
From the pen of Henry J. Richmond, staff corres
pondent of the Detroit News, hundreds of thousands of
Michigan’s vast population have recently learned many
good things about Alaska.
Commencing about three weeks ago bundles of extra
mail were being received by the Seward Chamber of Com
merce and The Gateway, containing scores of requests
for detailed information about Seward, from residents
of Detroit and other sections of Michigan who seem desir
ous, as a result of the Detroit paper’s Alaska articles, of
giving Alaskan life a try.
The Gateway, through the courtesy of Ernest Walker
Sawyer, Assistant Secretary of the Interior Department,
and member of the special committee appointed by Pres
ident Hoover on the great Alaska-Yukon Highway, has
received a full set of the seven instalments of the articles,
and the beautiful rotogravure section which climaxed
their publication, as they appeared in the Detroit News
from February 23 to March 1.
It is no wonder so many local requests were received
for additional information, remarked Leon Urbach, pres
ident of the Seward' Chamber, after perusing the articles.
Completely informative as they are, they cannot but leave
i a desire in the minds of their readers for more of the
I same substance.
Under captions, “Alaska, Last Frontier, Beckons
I 1931 Pioneers”; “Alaska Pioneers Today Have Radio,
II Movies, etc”; “Millions as Investment, Billions as Divi
Mdends”; “ 18 Hours Sunshine a Day Gives Alaska a Fine
■■Crop”; “1931 Pioneers in Alaska Play Golf, Enjoy Music”;
"^“Alaska Lies at the Hub for Trade in the Future,” Writ
er Richmond has literally turned upside down the gener
al outsider’s erroneous opinion about Alaska.
Inverted too, must be the overwhelming number of
misconceptions about Alaska, by the fine reproductions
in the Detroit News rotogravure section of a railway
train leaving Seward, beautiful landlocked Resurrection
Bay, fanners of the Moose Pass, Hope district, bathers,
fox farms, schools, flower gardens, huge strawberries,
fields of ripening grain, and flour mill, prospectors and
other enticing scenes of which Alaska has many.
Again, Seward, and all Alaska, can thank Mr. Saw
yer without reservation for his great assistance in en
lightening the other half of the United States as to what
they own in their furthermost northern domain.
KNUTE K. ROCKNE
The combined success of Knute Kenneth Rockne,
who was killed yesterday when a plane exploded in the
air, as football player, coach and strategist seldom has
been equalled in the history of the great American col
lege sport. There have been men who were as able in one
or the other of these dpartments of the game, but in the
case of Rockne he was a star in all three of them.
He was best known as head coach of football at Notre
Dame for it was in that capacity that the success of his
teams brought him fame and made the university at South
Bend, Ind, nationally known.
One of the finest tributes to Coach Rockne and his
football system has been the wide demand for coaches
who learned the game from him.
“Football,” he once said, “teaches a boy responsibili
ty—responsibility as a representative of his college; res
ponsibility to his teammates and responsibility in control
ling his passions, fear, hatred, jealousy and rashness. Foot
ball brings out the best there is in every one.”
We read that America has the finest Swiss cheese
plant in the world. There is more raw material for the
holes over here.
Word to the effect the entire Alaska Railroad head
quarters, car shops, etc., are to be moved to Seward imme
diately, is received with great rejoicing and is the signal
for a tremendous—APRIL FOOL!
