AN EXCELLENT BEGINNING
With little more than a year elapsed since Col. 0. I.
Ohlson took over the general managership ot the Alas
ka Railroad, much has been done to improve the main
tenance and operation of the road and to aid the ies
icents of the railroad belt in their various fields o± en
deavor. Colonel Ohlson is leaving no stone unturned
to further the interests of the fisherman, fui lanchei,.
logger, tourist, farmer, miner and business man.
With his arrival the Alaska Railroad has taken on
a new lease of life, so to speak, and now has the ap
pearance of a real railroad; schedules have been bet-1
tered, the track improved and modern transportation
methods adopted. And peace reigns supreme among
the rank and file of railroad men. To a man, his em
ployes are with him 100 percent. * ;
A practical railroader from the ground up Colonel j
Ohlson knows what it is all about; in the vernacular,
“He knows his onions.”
ROMANS AND GOOD ROADS
Where ever the ancient Roman cohorts went,
good roads went with them- Aside from butchering a
lot o’ barbarians, that was Caeser's pet idea of civiliz
ing a country. Some of his stone bridges are bearing
traffic to this day; also roads over certain mountain
passes.
Out on Kodiak, where a great rich land awaits
development, there are no barbarians to kill except
the Kodiak bear but the good roads are not yet fur
nished for the colonization and progress clamoring at
the door.
SPEAKING OF WOODEN BLANKETS—
-O
Can you beat it? We always knew that we had
plenty of artificial woolen blankets and near-leather
boots in this country but we never thought we could
lie in artificial silk. But that's what Louis Muerich, of!
the Industrial Committee of the Washington State -
Chamber of Commerce, a recent visitor in Seward,
says is possible. He said we have the right timber for
the making of said silk, and it looks like he's right.
Whatdya know!
The “talkies" will have one known advantage. They
will eliminate that pest of the moving picture theater
that reads the titles out loud.
For weeks we have been talking about the swarms I
of insects throughout the railroad belt excepting in our
own great little city of Seward. Well, we eat dirt today:
Great guns! Weren't they awful? “Never saw the like
since Heck was a pup," remarked Sourdough Bill.
