THE SECOND START
How many people in Seward know that about 20
years ago construction of a railroad was started from
Balboa bay, to the Westward? At that time 16 claims of
bituminous coal were located but upon the conservation
act— which has halted Alaska’s progress since—going in
to effect all work and the claims were abandoned.
The railroad would have been constructed on a one
per cent grade with a 700 foot rise and was being built
but for one purpose, that of bringing to tide-water
coal for export to the States. There it would have been
placed on the market in competition with other coal.
Some of the veins and outcroppings are seven feet in
width and so plentiful is the coal throughout the entire
district that the few people who are living there have
been using it for years.
Today, 20 years later, Alaska is once again on the
threshold of exporting coal to the States* Naturally, the
queston is often asked, what are the powers that be
going to do to us now? In our humble opinion we cannot
concieve what new regulations could be attached. And the
only reason Alaska coal may not be able to buck the Out
side, is because the powers that be don’t want the resourc
es of the Territory opened up until they have the proper
strangle hold.
Using that familiar slogan, watchful waiting, has be
come almost an Alaskan phrase, in fact there are those
who say that the phrase was really coined in Alaska.
We are now watching and waiting for the Alaska
coal industry to develop, not only because through the
port of Seward will flow an immense tonnage, but because
that day will mark a steady and permanent growth.
Get the industries started and see how long it will
take to populate the country.
More tonnage passes through the Port of Seward
than an other port in the Territory of Alaska. A pretty
healthy condition for any town.
Colonization plans may be alright for Alaska but in
dustries would not be half bad.
The reported rumor that “Ma"’ will preach in Seward
is apparantly without any foundation, according to the
cub reporter who tried in vain for 17 hours to have the re
port authenticated.
Perhaps Captain Billy will tell us how he got that way
when he arrives in town Saturday.
Captain Billy says he is coming to Alaska to hunt big
game. We wonder what he means?
Dempsey plans taking no chances, the dispatches dis
close. Steve Brody took a chance, it might be added.
Next summer holds every promise of being one of the
best year’s since the country went Volstead, the local
prophet predicts. Meaning around Seward, especially*

HIM BEERY PRESENTS I
SEMITE WITH GIFT!
Police officer, “Smiling Earl Reed
was honored recently in Los Angeles
by Wallace Berry when the famous
comedian presented him with a gold
police whistle in recognition of the J
long-standing friendship between
them. The names of both were en
graved on the side.
The only interest that this item has
to local residents is that officer Reed
is a former Sewardite, he and his
wife having left here a few years ago
for Hollywood to enter, for the sec
ond time, the service of the Holly
wood police department. When in
Seward Mr. Reed worked for the
post office and also for the Standard
Oil plant. Mrs. Reed was quite tal
ented anfl had at one time starred
with Bill Hart. She is a typical
daughter of the West, having grown
up on a southern ranch and was ex
tremely dexterous with the lariat,
performing the majority of feats now
done by ropers.
