WE MISS THE “GREEN” BOATS
The past summer was made pleasant and more profi
table for the people and the port of Seward through the
weekly service furnished by the Pacific Steamship Co.
The mail service thereby made available affected
many people. This added service, not only to Seward,
but to all of Southwestern Alaska, was always eagerly
looked forward to.
Merchants, especially, appreciated the service.. They
received merchandise and produce not only oftener but
at a time when it was easier to handle it; during the mid
dle of the week. This applied especially to produce which
otherwise often had to be held over Sunday.
The additional passenger service was particularly
helpful to those traveling between points on Prince Wil
liam Sound and to the Westward and a big incentive to
business as well as to hunters and tourists.
We will miss the “Green” boats, as they are common
ly referred to, this winter, and will be looking forward
to the resumption of their weekly schedule next summer.

YEARS IRE REUNITED;
- I
HUNTINGTON, Sept. 30. (^—Di
verging trails that led brother-to war
against brother have reunited #Henry
and Jonathan Roten after 66 years’
separation.
At the outset of the Civil War the
Roten brothers left their boyhood
homes here to fight, but they did not
follow the same paths. Henry, 17,
found his way into the confederate
ranks, while 19-year-old Jonathan
marched away with the Northern
troops. When hostilities ended, Hen
ry drifted to Ft. Worth, Texas, to buy
a farm. Jonathan returned to the
homestead here. They did not hear
from one another, and came to believe
each other, death. Recently a sister
died, and through different channels
the brothers learned of the death and
met. The brothers agree that they
probably never met during the war in
opposing armies.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. (in
comes now the ‘‘Citrangrequat,” a
new fruit developed by crossing the
jkumquat and the citrange. “Kumquat'
is an Americanized spelling for the
name for a Chinese fruit, and ‘‘Cit
range” is the result of a cross be
tween the ordinary sweet orange and
a Japanese trifoliate orange of no
commercial value. The kumquatand
the citrange are hardy substitutes
(or lime and lemon, capable for grow
ing in regions too cold for ordinary
ic.tius plants.

AIRPORT PASSENGER DEPOT IS
t-zn LATEST AVIATION DEVELOPMENT
Architect’s drawing of the air passenger depot at Dearborn
Unique Structure at Dearborn
Field Sets High Standard
for Modern Air Line
Terminals.
HE first completely equip
ped air passenger depot
in America is being con
structed at the Ford air
port, Dearborn, Michigan.
With its completion early in the
coming fall will begin a new chap
ter in the development of airplane
transportation
When the first railway lines
were laid . in America, their “sta
tions” were mere platforms, erect
ed at designated stops along the
routes. As railway transportation
grew popular It became necessary
for the railroads to provide more
"comforts and conveniences” fur
passengers awaiting the arrivals
of trains. Thus deve^iped the
typical American railway “depot,”
with its waiting rooms, its ticket
office, its baggage and express of
fice, its characteristic musty odor
of stale air and stale tobacco
smoke and its magnetic attraction
for any and everybody in town
who had time to waste and wanted
some good, gossipy place in which
to waste it.
The railway depot rapidly be
came the town' center of things
happening and about to happen.
Air lines up to the present have
concerned themselves chiefly with
landing fields and hangars and re
pair shops for the planes. But the
air lines are attracting passengers
and those passengers and their
friends and relatives must have
modern comforts and conveniences
while waiting arrivals and depar
tures of the planes.
The airplane division of the
Ford Motor Company is not operat
ing passenger air lines at present.
The manufacture of airplanes and
the operation of freight air lines,
are its chief concerns just now.
But it has one of the finest landing
fields in the country, situated so
that it will be one of the important
stops along the great trans-confi
nenta! air lines of the future
So, the Ford airport is being
equipped with the fype of air pas
senger depot that will be familiar
to travelers all over the country
within the next few years. It will
be much handsomer than the first
of the old railway depots and more
comfortably an$ conveniently
equipped.
The building will be two stories
in height, of white brick, stone and
Spanish tile construction. The
first floor, 52 feet square, will in
clude a waiting room with open
fireplace and restful, modern fur
nishings, an entrance hall, ticket
office, baggage and mail rooms,
telephone booths and wash-room
and a pilots’ office. A covered
veranda, ten feet wide, will extend
across the entire front of the
building on the north side, facing
the flying field.
On the second floor will be the
port manager’s office, a radio bea
con control room and observation
station. Around the entire build
ing on this floor will be an uncov
ered esplanade, where in good
weather passengers and their
friends may have an excellent view
of the arrivals and departures of
planes.
Directly in front of tha station
will be a concrete runway where
the planes will take on and dis
charge passengers.
