FIRST TOURISTS YEAR
The first three tourists of the
season arrived on the S. S. Aleu
tian and today departed for the
Interior. They have time to pen
etrate as far as Healy returning
from that point on Monday’s
train to connect with the Ad
miral Evans for the south.
AREN’T MEN FUNNY!
Aren’t railroad station agents
peculiar chaps?
Here is Grant Reed, for instance,
agent at Mile 114, who yesterday
made his first trip over the
southern division to Seward in
nine years. And the reason for
breaking his long-distance record
was to meet Mrs. Reed who re
turned from Seattle on the S. S.
Aleutian. He’ll be back, however,
before another nine years rolls
bv. he threatened.
Kenneth Ackley, supply car chief
on the Alaska Railroad, departed
today for parts unknown.

candies at Sylvia’s.

LIFE SMB, TOM BOSS,
There has been a great gather
ing of oldtimers in Seward since
the arrival in port yesterday, from
the south, of the M. S. Silver
Wave, for on board of her are
a number of “sourdoughs” of whom
it might be said, have mad^e much
history in the Territory.
Take Tom A. Ross, (Captain)
who for the last 20 or 30 years
has been in charge of the coast
guard service, or station, at Nome,
for instance.
The exploits and rescues cred
ited to this man will forever be
read in the pages of Alaska
frontier life. All the former Nom
ietes in Seward have been swapp
ing yarns with Captain Ross since
he arrived.
To the editor of this paper the
most vivid remembrance of those
earlier days in Nome, si a picture
of Captain Tom and his crew of
life savers shoving a dory down
the beach, out into the gigantic
breakers crashing upon the beach;
a flashing glimpse of the craft high
on tho crest of a snarling, ragged
whitecapped breaker booming to
smash the beach with a giant roar
as the plucky crew fought every
inch out to board some vessel, eith
er in distress or to pick up mail or,
perhaos, to bring someone ashore.
The next picture would be of
the small boat riding into safe
refuge in Snake river or be
slapped down on the beach by
a mad comber and then, the
quick leap out and pulling the
the small boat riding into a safe
reach of the ebb.
And Captain Tom is still doing
those same stunts, they say.
Hotel rooms were at a premium
in the city last night many of
the cash customers having, to
seek lodging in private homes and
apartments
Dick Sessions, member of the
Anchorage railroad headquarters
staff, was overnight visitor in
the city.
