PERSISTENCE THAT WINS
A few years ago Captain Heinie Berger established
the first permanent motorship line between Seward and
Anchorage. Others had preceded him with intermittent
service, but when business fell off they withdrew.
Like a case of survival of the fittest, Captain Ber
ger, with the little Discoverer maintained his schedules
regardless of weather. Last winter the old Discoverer
was caught in the ice and lost. Before the season opened
in spring, Captain Berger brought in the new Discoverer,
one of the staunchest and most modern motor-ships in
Westward Alaskan waters.
With the coming of the new Discoverer travel up and
down Cook Inlet and across to the Alaska Peninsula, no
longer was a trial of cramped accomadations. Thus Cap
tain Berger's transportation system has grown in ad
vance of demands, and has become a fixture, and one of
which all those served thereby are proud.
Like all true frontiersmen, Captain Berger has build
ed for the present and future, given service which has
built up a great asset in the form of good will, and his
ship has been the means of bringing greater comfort to
the many who are compelled to dwell in outlying places.
In the MS Discoverer, Captain Berger has demon
strated a brand of genius and energy which is worthy of
emulation in many industries.
EFFECT OF NEW GOLD PRICE
!
Nothing affecting the industrial life of he Territory
could be more beneficial than the new ruling which gives
the United States gold miner access to world markets for
his product.
The price of gold now ranges around $30 per ounce,
as against $20.67, the price set by the terasury of the
United States. On the basis of an average of $30 per
ounce, Alaska’s gold output for the season just ending,
based upon the figure of 1932—$9,300,000, will be worth
$12,400,000.
Owners of low-grade ground, who a few months ago
could not interest capital in dredging operations are al
ready feeling the stimulus of the new price. Snipers, who
have been just able to sustain themselves by hand meth
ods, find themselves emerging with a surplus.
The same effect is being manifested in quartz.
The long-awaited renaissance of Alaska’s gold indus
try looms bright for the coming year, and every claim
owner is hastening to perfect his title while new pros
pectors are restaking old ground which was impossible
of working under the old price of the yellow metal.

Give Brief Talk
A brief address which should be
received with considerable interest
by local residents and others, is
scheduled to be heard in the Sew
ard High School Auditorium next
Monday morning beginning at 8
o'clock.
Or. Bolton, Dean Emeritus of the
University of Washington, will ar
rive in Seward this evening from
the Interior and will make a brief
talk before the departure of the
SS Alaska for the south.
Dr. Bolton represents the North
western Association of Secondary
and High Schools and is in Alaska
in this connection. The advantage
of such an affiliation, by the Sew
ard High School, is that North
western represents an organization
of universities and colleges in six
States and Alaska, and would per
mit Seward graduates entrance
without examination.
In turn Northwestern is affiliat
ed with the North Central Associa
tion and of institutions of learn
ing in 20 additional States. At the
present time Seward graduates are
eligible only to the University of
Washington.
Superintendent Glenn Rogers is
of the opinion that the talk will
not last more than 15 or 20 min
utes and will appreciate the at
tendance of all parents or others
interested.
