REV. S. HALL YOUNG
Dr. S. Hall Young would have passed his 80th yearj
had he been permitted to live until next year. But he
responded to the summons yesterday and joined that
long list of those who have done big things in Alaska
and wTho were called across the great devide.
Forever on missions of good will Dr. Young was
on his way to a small town in West Virginia when, un
timely it seems to us, he was struck down by an interur
ban car from which injuries he passed away shortly after.
The veteran missionary will be missed by his friends
in Alaska whose numbers run into the thousands.
His, was a work well done.
LIVE WIRE OFFICERS
Comdr. J. F. Hottel, of the U. S. S. Northland, and a
number of his excellent officers, were guests at noon to
day at the public reception, held in the Seward Grill, un
der the auspices of the Seward Chamber of Commerce.
The luncheon was a success in every way and President
Leon Urbach and Secretary J. P. Hannon, live-wire offi
cers of the organzation, are again to be congratulated for
their progressive work in Seward’s behalf.
And speaking of live-wire officers it would be diffi
cult to surpass the gentlemen on board the Northland.
The fall of snow on the mountain tops last night
should be great for the hunters now in the field. Isn’t
nature grand!
Seward almost lost it’s reindeer today, it became
known this afternoon, for someone informed a couple of
the boys from the U. S. S. Northland that if they could
catch the animal they could have him for a ship’s pet. At
last reports two of the sailors were still “hot-footing” it
after Rainy but have thus far been unable to catch him.
GOODBYE AND GOOD LUCK
In their departure from Seward for the Far North
the officers and men of the U. S. S. Northland, will take
away with them the best wishes from this community,
with the hope they will meet with a successful voyage
and that they may return in the very near future for
another visit. Seward has enjoyed their stay immensely.
We believe they, also, had a good time while in the Port of
Seward.
Goodbye and good luck
Seward folks had the opportunity to meet, at the
dance last night, officers from the U. S. S. Coast Guard
Cutter Northland. All had a wonderful time and the
occasion will be long remembered.
MORE POWER TO HIM
Alaskans should feel extremely grateful to Frank
Richardson Pierce, a visitor in Seward today, due to the
vast amount of excellent publicity he has given the Ter
ritory through the medium of some 200 stories writ
ten, each and every one, based in or on Alaska. As Capt.
Johansen, of the good ship S. S. Starr, would say, “More
power to him!”
Being in a fog has defeated many people besides avia
tors.
Many a political machine is poorly lubricated.
No money was ever ill-spent boosting for the home
town. " W ft fin
Fall weather doesn’t always bring out the fall guy.
To an aviator all’s well that lands Well.

Frank Richardson Pierce, who is
rapidly forging to the foremost
ranks of America’s authors. is
among the distinguished visitors in
Seward today. This is his seventh J
trip to Alaska and this time he is
in quest of material for reindeer and
sheep stories. At the present time
Mr. Pierce is writing his 563rd story j
’and at least 75 per cent of these j
have been Alaskan stories. His first j
book will be published next year by j
the Geo. H. Doran Co. 'Speaking of j
this story Mr. Pierce says that it is I
a book for boys, particularly for hoys j
around Boy Scout age, and will be i
the first of a series. He is a round- j
tripper on the S. S. Aleutian depart- j
ing again for his Seattle home to- j
morrow. More about Mr. Pierce j
later. :
