COLD STORAGE PLANT FOR KODIAK
Seward is pleased to see an important industry estab
lished at the neighboring town of Kodiak in the building
of a large cold storage plant by the Erskine interests.
It will help along the good work of developing the
great fishing industry in the North Pacific. What helps
one locality will help the others. We are all independent.
Kodiak and Seward are coast neighbors on friendly terms,
Not alone its fisheries, but also in agricultural and
stock raising possibilities, Kodiak is in one of the richest
areas in Alaska. Its climate is mild, and the soil of Kodiak
Island is fertile and productive*
Some day in the future a population of many thous
ands will dwell on Ktfdiak Island in prosperous homes and
in thriving communities.
-Alaska needs more men of the type of W. J. Erskine.
In 1895, 12,000,000 pounds of fish were handled ir
Seaatle. Annual shipments now run in excess of 45,000,00C
pounds. The greater portion of this business is from Alas
ka. '
NEW REVENUE FOR ALASKA FISHERMEN
Fish scales are now valuable, being used in the manu
facture of immitation pearls. A Heathsville, Verginia
fisherman, recently sold $100 worth herring scales fron
one day’s fishing. Alaska fisherman should be able to pici
up lots of extra pin-money.
Some folks imagine legislative enactments can take
the place of food and clothing.
The population of the United States has increased
about 12 per cent in the last ten years. The population of
Seward has increased seven per cent during the past year.
WAS NOT IN VAIN
The worldly cynic may shrug now that the conference
in the Peace Pact at Geneva is ended. But the cynic is
wrong for though the conference ended in deadlock yet
the cause for world peace advanced. The day is coming
when war will be a thing of the past. Civilization is rap
idly progressing to that point.
But lets have that Naval reserve in Resurrection bay
now.
According to the designers none of the new fur wraps
must come below the knee. It seems that nothing must
interfere with the freedom of the knees. It isn’t so much
what fur as how fur
t . ALASKA GROWN CYPRESS
It is claimed that Alaska grown cypress, very similar
in quality to the gopher wood from which Noah made the
first boat— the Ark—is beginning to receive attention
from commercial buyers. It is said that this Northern
grown wood is much tougher and is better than the South
ern variety. It is aso claimed to be practically indes
tructable, not subject to dry roU impervious to insects or
vermin, and in actual cases under observation show that
its usefulness is not impared by 50 use in dwellings.
“I always found Senator Willis in harness and on the
job, working hard for Alaska,” remarked George Sexton
Republican National Committee man from Alaska, in com
menting on the Senator’s recent visiti to Seward.
The port of Seward yesterday with ocean liners
steaming in and out intermingled with a mosquito fleet of
fishing craft, made a favorable impression on-the many
visitors here.
Eighty per cent of Alaska’s outside business is con
ducted through various Puget Sound ports.
Additional details as to the acci
dent which occured to Norman Noble
o.f Kodiak a few days ago when he
accidently shot himself, is contained J
in the following brief note sent The
Gateway by the Kodiak correspond
ent:
A most serious accident ibefell Nor

Erskine company and agent of The
Admiral line of steamships calling
at the Kodiak port.
Mr. Noble had gone to his ranch

pommel of his saddle, the gun was j
