SEWARD COALING STATION
fs \ C„f pvpnting in the Port of Seward a coaling station
r amble of serving trans-Pacific steamships and supp y
tapable ox s » ... > j guch a station would
dovetail into°the plan suggested by high officials for to
government supplying, or contracting (n . e thel.
eprve Alaska’s coast line as well as canng lot otm.
business which will ultimately accrue to Western Alaska
thru more extensive development.
It is time for Alaska to take a broom and sweep
down the cobwebs of provincialism and get into a
stride that will lead to substantial, lasting growth. How
ever much merit there may be in the time-honored
statement that ‘all things comes to hint who waits, t
man who meets his desires half way and wooes thei
emerges a lap or two ahead of the time-maikei.
THE SINS OF THE FATHER
While Alaska’s bureaus are a common target, and
merit criticism, being institutions contrary to the ac
cepted principles of freedom and liberty as hitheito
enjoyed by pioneer peoples, the sins of the fathe
should not always be visited upon the child. No Alaska
bureau should impose further confusing and unworkable
restrictions upon Alaskans; instead, strike off a tew
shackles.
Each time a Brill car arrives in Seward brings to
mind the slow yet steady progress of the Teiiitory or
now its the creak of the electric train drowning out the
soft swish of the dog-drawn sled—moving steel chal
lenging the romance of Alaska.
AN EMPIRE BUILDER
, -O
The consistent efforts of John E- Ballaine, founder
of Seward and originator of the Alaska Central Kail
roac[__the present Alaska Railroad—dating back over
a period of more than 20 years, is a histoiy of great
achievement and has influenced or shaped the whole
future of Alaska’s growth. His present. endeavor ap
pears to be crowned with success and will undoubtedly
mark another milestone in the growth of this land.
Two young college women are urging girls to
'‘stop petticoat hoisting in fear of rodents and become
ratkillers.” Puzzle: First find one wearing a petticoat.
An editor declares that much of the fiction of oui
day is grossly immoral. But why limit the criticism to
"our day?”
“I love it on the stage where there are not so many
dangers as living in the wilds of Alaska, says an An
chorage girl who made her debut with a revue in-Seat
tle- Its such things as that that makes us wild.
There is every reason to believe that the presem
season and the next few months to come will be one o:
the most prosperous in the Railroad Belt owing to th<
prospective industrial progress looming on the horizoi
and the many activities that will begin to bear fruit.
