NEED OF MISSION SCHOOL
The vital need of school quarters in the Mission dis
trict is imperative and it is hoped, now that Lester D.
Henderson, Commissioner of Territorial Schools, and of
Education, is in Seward, he may speed the erection of the
building along and not wait over until next year. If it can
be done we feel confident Mr. Henderson will do so.
There is no need for The Gateway to point out to Mr.
Henderson why the Mission school building should be com
pleted this year for it is doubtful if there is any govern
ment office in the Territory, or an official, who is better
versed in their own particular department and in the gen
eral knowledge and conditions throughout the Territory,
than Lester D. Henderson.
He knows of the many, many children, most of them
orphans, that have been rejected by Superintendent Hat
ten, for but one reason, that of lack of accomodations.
For over a year past two large dormitories have been util
ized as school rooms. The new school house, if built at
once, would relieve this conjestion and permit of from 50 to
75 more children entering the Home. _ \
So we urge you, Mr. Henderson, if there is any possi
ble way that you can have this school house built immed
iately, to do so. We know you will do the best you can for
which you will receive the thanks of the entire community
and outlying districts.
RESURRECTION’S MATCHLESS MARINE RECORD
Within the last few days a collision occured between
two ocean steamers in a dense fog at the entrance to San
Francisco Bay, and the Admiral Watson, a steamer on the
Alaska run, went ashore in a thick fog near Prince Rupert.
Fogs and snows and other kinds of thick weather carry
more dangers to ocean going vessels and are more dreaded
by navigators and marine insurance companies than any
other form of risk. The standard marine insurance for ves
sels alone, not including cargo, on the inside passage to
Alaska, is about 15 per cent of its value per annum. That is,
on a vessel insured for $500,000, the* premium paid by the
owners for insurance per year amounts to $75,000. On
some parts of the Alaska run, like that along the Aleutian
peninsula, the premium for part of the year is as high as
26 per cent.
But from Seward by the outside passage to Seattle or
San Francisco the rate is less than one-third the rate by
the inside passage. The difference on a vessel insured for
$500,000 would be $50,000 less in favor of the open Port of
Seward. That is an item that has to be charged to freight
rates, and must be taken into account in the considerations
involved in an all year open port for a railroad terminus.
It was wisely taken into account in the selection of Resur
rection bay in preference to others where the. insurance
risk was prohibitive. y
The harbor of Resurrection, bay, on which Seward is lo
cated, has a clear record for immunity from danger such as
few harbors in the world can match. In the 25 years since
ocean vessels first began making this a regular port of call,
they have safely come and gone every hour of every day
in the year, winter and summer,in clear weather and thick
weather, without a single accident to one of them.
Talk about trained seals, any time any one asks a per
son from Anchorage about the weather, the reply always
is “Wonderful. Sun shining all the time!” Here in Sew
ard we are more frank about the elements and must admit
that last week even the cows had to wear rain coats; and
that’s no joke!
It is amazing to see how much misinformation may be
accumulated by one who earnestly seeks it.
lie shrewd politician seldom hops on the band wagon
Uhvii lie is fairly convinced of its identity.
If you get chilly these days, remember that you were
warned that 1927 was to be a year without a summer.
CONTRACTOR BUILDER
FROM SOUTH VISITOR
_?
C. T. Bunker, well known con
tractor and builder who has constrct
ed school buildings and other struc
tures in the Territory, was araoug
the arrivals in Seward yesterday on
the S. S. Alaska. Mr. Bunker was one
of the original bidders on the local j
Mission school building and, in all I
probability, will enter another bid on j
the revised plans. He will also take i
the opportunity, while here, to inves- j
tigate conditions in this district and j
in general become more familiar I
with this immediate area of the Terri
tory,
Mr. Bunker is now erecting school
buildings at Yakataga and at Kassan.
Three years ago he constructed part
of the buildings at Eklutna. He has
also erected school buildings for the
Bureau of Education at Juneau, Sit
ka and at Ketchikan. Mr. Bunker is I
ia guest at the Van Gilder hotel.

ry, will meet tomorrow (Tuesday) at

good attendance will be on hand.
