CONTINUAL FIRE VIGIL
Aside from local residents and special watchmen exercising con
stant vigil, three factors are paramount in importance with regard to
the h-rsening of the fire hazard hi Seward, and especially so, during
the recent terrific winds which descended and blew, unabated, for
days and nights on end; alert volunteer fire fighting organization,
strong water pressure and cleared streets for moving equipment.
To this, as in the case of the late Vickory fire, might be added, as
sistance from spectators in helping with the hose lines spanning the
deep snows.
While complimenting ail, yet caution should not be relaxed while
cold weather remains and stoves are blazing. Take an extra look at
your chimneys and electric wiring.
WITHDRAWAL OF CHUGAGH FOREST RESERVE
Just what the effect of the abandonment of the Chugach forest
and allowing it to be pre-empted would have on local business is a dif
ficult matter to answer in the absence of what system would be adopted
for public acquisition of the area under the homestead rules.
However, indications point to advantage rather than disadvantage.
True the district would lose the forestry road money, but would still
have other road agencies functioning and perhaps, in the near future,
the Federal Highway Act.
HURRAH FOR THE LADIES!
That the ladies are becoming increasingly interested in civic and
territorial affairs Ls shown by the recent filing in the primary race, as
Representative from the Third Division to the 1932 Territorial Legis
lature, of Florence L. Nafsted of Cordova, a resident of Alaska for
manv years.
Woman’s interest in civic and territorial matters have invariably
resulted in betterment. The modern woman has fitted herself to keep
pace with the men; who knows, perhaps in the next decade they will
pass mere man.
Alaskans are kind to their wild animals. Not once have we heard
of a pioneer slapping a brown bear across the snoot.
Seward has about 23 hours of daylight each day through June and
20 hours in December.
It’s about time for some bright lad to discover an Egyptian mummy
in Alaska. Mummy, not dummy!
There is one recourse left to Hoover. If they crowd him too close,
being a miner, he can dig in.
Alaska needs a parcel post zone- It costs as much to send a pack
age six miles as it does to New York.
Seward, in one respect, has one thing in common with the great
c.ty of Chicago,—strong winds.
Great trouble with politics is that just about the time a village se
cures a good agitator they spoil him by sending him to Congress.
All things come to him that waits. Valdez may now get back at An
chorage on the weather question.
The ancient Egyptians worshipped the bull and went haywire. So
did the ultra-modern Americans and now look at 'em.
At least they cannot blame Herb for this winter’s weather.
The choice of those who
are in the habit of order
ing or serving the best
of everything.

BOD) OF MPT. OLE
LARSEN SHIPPED OUT
Accompanied by at least 30
friends, fishermen and captains,
the body of Captain Ole Larsen,
owner and master of the schooner
Pacific and who died February 17
on board his vessel at Kodiak, was
escorted Thursday to the Seward
dock where it was placed aboard
the SS Admiral Evans for shipment
to Seattle.
Funeral services and interment
will be held at Seattle, which had
been the home of the departed for
many years. The remains, which
were cared for locally by the Sew
ard Funeral Parlor, go forward by
express to the Bonney & Watson
mortuary at Seattle.
Captain Larsen was the skipper
and owner of the halibut schooner
Pacific. He had been one of the
successful boat owners of the fleet
for years. Before owning the Pa
cific, he owned and operated the
Kodiak. He was a director in the
Fishing Vessel Owners Association.
Captain Larsen is survived by a
widow and two children, a boy, 14,
and a girl, 6, in Seattle. He was
about 46 years of age.
In February, 1930, Captain Lar
sen was presented with a silver
trophy for the high boat of the 1929
season. His catch that year was
467,000 pounds, for which he re
ceived $61,000.
