A SEWARI) MEMORIAL
Although we have heard nothing more of it since it
was itroduced in Congress by Senator Copeland of
New York, it would be idle to make bets that we have
not been eagerly scanning the daily wires from Wash
ington looking for news of that proposed memorial
and museum at Seward, in honor of the great states
man who consummated the purchase of Alaska from
Russia.
There could be no more fitting gesture as acknow
ledgement of what the nation owes her far-seeing sons
of the past, or aesthetic appreciation of higher ideals
for the future than a beautiful and impressive monu
ment to Wm. H. Seward, and a splendid museum to
house the priceless relics that became ours in that his
toric transfer.
As for the City of Seward being selected as the
site for that memorial, we would naturally and perhaps
selfishly, maintain that such selection is right and pro
per. However, due and impartial pondering of the mat
ter offers no logical reason why this is not the proper
spot. Aside from bearing the name of the illustrious
‘■Father of Alaska’,, this city stands at the Gateway of
the Territory, thru which in generations to come will
pass the ceaseless ebb and flow of old and new Alas
kans or countless thousands of those who come to see
what Alaska really means.
There can be no more beautiful scenic setting in
all this Northern land. A majestic pile of stone and mar
ble in majestic surroundings would most fittingly crys
talize the ideal sought to be expressed. Its dignity and
grandeur would typify the regal splendor of a mighty
heritage.
What constitutes success in life depends upon
one’s viewpoint. Success of a sort came to an Irishman
named Doherty, who sought his fortune in West Afri
ca 30 years ago and died recently, having accumulated
10 negro \-rives and 50 half-breed children, to whom he
left an estate worth $3,000,000.

Clinging precariously to a pin- *
jnacle of coal for five hours, with I
| the cold surf spray dashing over j
! him, after first having been thor
joughly washed about- by the same
surf, that was the chilling exper- j
ience of Jack Anderson the after- i
noon of the 5th according to the
: Seldovia Herald.
i Captain Anderson, now skipper;
of the gas boat Stanley, had gone j
near the beach in a skiff, when the
!small boat was suddenly dashed ’
'against the rocks, and the skipper
for a few terrifying moments be- 1
came part and parcel o f the float -
sam and ietsnm of Inlet waters. He
managed finally to get a foothold
and waded out, got on top of the
coal heap, and there he stayed for
five hours. The Stanley, manned by I
the engineer and a passenger, was j
obliged to stand off shore, and had
no other boat to send in for the be
leaguered skipper, but the tide re
ceded finally and Anderson found
refuge with Harden and Anderson.
Happy Valley clam packers.
On the return from Kenai the
following day Mr. Anderspn met
with a painful accident when upon
jumping into a partly broken up
dory his left foot was pierced with i
nails. He has now about recovered.
