A WORTHY PROPOSED PROJECT
There are many worth while projects in the Seward
district but one of the most important is the need of a
good road from Illiamna Bay to Illiamna village. It is
up to Seward to assist the Westward communities to the
fullest extent. v.
As long as the trade arteries are kept clear there
will be a constant flow of activity. And a large portion
of it will run thru this channel.
They still have to use pack horses, over there, the
same condition which existed 40 years ago.
A good road will lower freight rates over this short
stretch and instead of merchandise being shipped to Bris
tol Bay in the summer and taken up the river, the great
est proportion of the tonnage will go thru the Port of
Seward.
These eight miles of good road will be a boon to the
patient and numerous residents of that thriving area.
As expected, the new Ford car somewhat resemble
the Lincoln, notably in the number and contour of its
wheels.
What has become of the old-fashioned fanner who
thought someone was going to make fertilizer at Muscle
Shoals ?

Again the dire need of cutters stationed in this dis
trict during the winter months is seen in the report of
the drowning yesterday of six persons at Akutan.
Now that Christmas is over we can get ready to
start the new year right. Make that resolution now.
Later, you may break it if you wish.
They say there was lots of Christmas cheer passed
around the past few days. There are many kinds of
cheer, as we understand it.

ANNIVERSARY IS
OBSERVED SEWARD
MR. AND MRS. JAMES MC CON-'
NELL MARRIED 50 YEARS 1
CHRISTMAS DAY I
Exemplifying contentment during
a long happy married life and shat
tering in a thousand fragments the
many rules set down for married
i
folk by high salaried feature writers, i
Mr. and Mrs. James Me Connell, old
and respected residents of Seward,
surrounded by many members ofi.J
their large family, celebrated on Sun
day, Christmas Day, their Golden An
niversary. Mrs. McConnell was pre-;
sented with a beautiful gold ring |
with a ruby setting, and Mr. McCon- '
nell, was the delighted recipient of j
a handsome gold watch. Many other ,
friends called during the day paying
their respects, and offering congratu
lations.
Twenty-three relatives and friends
gathered at the McConnell home
eary Sunday spending the entire day
with the happy couple and during
the afternoon a specially prepared
and delicious dinner was sat down to.
It was 50 years ago Sunday, in
1877, that Mr. iMcConnell, a strapping
and prominent young man in Grand
Rapids, Wisconsin, woed and &on
the heart of pretty young Miss Clara /
Doud. Since then 10 children came .
to grace their home, but of these
six are living today; Mrs. Lulu Man
they, Mrs. Esther Guliufsen, Mrs.
Gus Manthey, Mary, Emmett, Guy.
There are nine grand children to
add to their happiness, namely, the
two children of Dr. and Mrs. Gulluf
sen, who reside in Latouche; the
four children of Mr. and Mrs. Gus
Manthey of Seward; the one child of
Mr. and Mrs. Guy McConnell in Hol
lywood; and the two children of Mrs.
Lulu Manthey, Clara and William in
Juneau. Clara and William were
practically raised by Mr. and Mrs.
McConnell.
In 1908 Mr. and Mrs. Me Connell
arrived in Seward and have been per
manent residents since. They own
fine acreage near Woodrow, upon
which they have a comfortable home
and fine farm.
The arrival of the dinner hour was
the ocassion for Mr. McConnell, a
prominent and fluent speaker in his
earlier days, to dwell at some length
on the stepping stones of success
leading to a long and happy married
life. It is said his discourse was a
gem in advice to the married as,well
as those who contemplate marriage.

ASK PLANE BE SENT
The S. S.v Starr may be sent to
Akutan tonight or in the morning
for the bodies of those who were
drowned yesterday or on Christmas
Day. Word was sent to the Anchor
age Airplane Corporation to dispatch
1 a plane for the bodies, but upon
talking to Captain Johansen, of the
*
S. S. Starr, it was pointed out it
would be extremely dangerous - to
•send a plane due to landing, if land
ing could be made, in that little
known district. Captain Johansen is
awaiting orders whether he shall
proceed Westward at once, or pick
