WINTER SCHEDULE APPRECIATED
Aside from the economical feature embraced in the
announcement of the proposed weekly steamer sailings
from Seattle for Seward and other coastal ports thru
out the coming winter, the transportation companies
the Pacific Steamship Company and the Alaska Steam
ship Company, have in mind, as always during their
many years of serving Alaskans, the best possible ser
vice under existing circumstances.
The service will be appreciated a thousand-fold by
every resident of the Territory; there will hardly be no
ticed any interruption from the regular summer sched
ule. Ocassionally there is heard criticism from dis
gruntled sources pertaining to Alaska’s ocean trans
portation but the rank and file of residents of this
Territory have long been cognizant these steamship
companies have continually served Alaska to the best
of their ability and no further evidence of this could be
shown than the new arrangement whereby Alaskans,
far remote from continental United States—their for
mer homes—will continue to receive mail every week,
in winter as wTell as summer.
Alaskans are truly indebted and deeply apprecia
tive to both companies.
LOCAL STREETS DANGEROUS
In view of the recent accident on Fourth Avenue
in which an elderly resident of this city was nan down
by a bicycle and who since has been in a semi-conscious
condition and who is still alive only by the grace of
God, it is about time to keep children from playing on
the city’s main street, day or night.
If there is no ordinance affording citizens this pro
tection, one should be drawn up.
While we ore on the subject of streets it will not
be amiss here to state again the majority of Seward’s
thoroughfares are abominable and it has been a con
stant source of surprise half of the motor vehicles have
not been in repair shops with broken axles, etc. Money
is spent for new city improvements instead of keeping
up what we already have.
The editor has been asked as to his opinion regard
ing the Lagoon road which portions were almost car
ried away by the high tide. We were not in favor of it
at this time feeling the past and present road over what
is known as Chamberlin’s Hill, sufficed, particularly in
view of the city finances and condition of city streets.
’There can be no question about the Lagoon road being
a fine local improvement, providing it doesn’t run into
the thousands of dollars before ready for traffic. No
figures are at hand in this office relative to the cost but
from what is considered fairly reliable sources, we are
informed the cost is now close to $500 more than origi
nally estimated.
As a measure of precaution when this road is ready
for traffic, guard rails should traverse each side as a
help and continual reminder of danger over either bank.
FRANCIS JOHN HIGGINSON
Rear Admiral Francis John Higginson, who died
Monday at Kingston, N. Y„ learned the business of
Naval warfare under such an old master as Admiral
Farragut in the wooden warship of the old-time Navy,
and lived to become commander of the entire North At
lantic fleet of modern steel-clad battleships at the be
ginning of the 20th century.
His retirement from active service in 1905, closed a
record of serving in two wars, with 20 years ait sea on
more than o score of different ships and 20 years of
shore duty.

JESUITS EXTEND THANKS
TO SEWARD PEOPLE
In behalf of the Jesiut aviators
jwho yesterday took-off in the “Al
aska Missionary”, Bellanca, Pack
ard-Deisel motored, for Anchor
age, Father T. W. McKey tele
graphed The Gateway from the In
let city of their arrival at 3:15,
about 45 minutes after the depart
ure from here. He expressly asked
The Gateway to convey the thanks
of his Brother George Feltes, pilot;
and Brother George Feltes, pilot,
pilot, to the people of Seward who
extended them every aid and fac
ility during their brief sojourn
while assembling the plane.
Pilot Feltes made a beautiful
take-off in the afternoon follow
ing a series of test flights in the
morning shortly following the
the launching of the plane from
the dock. The enine functioned
perfectly and long flights were
made over Resurrection Bay, giv
ing the motor an opportunity to
“do it’s stuff”, which it did 100 per
cent. The scarlet-winged plane,
equipped with pontoons, was the
center of attraction during its
three-day stay and especially from
the air, appeared as a beautiful
bird with the sunlight reflected
from its glistening wings and the
motor warbling a sweet song
Three or four days will be spent
in Anchorage, thence to Hloy Cross
Mission where Pilots Feltes and
Lepeyre will officially enter upon
their duties of mercy to the many
missions thruout the lower river
country. Father McKey stated it
was the intent to have a similar
plane assist in the work and that
it would arrive in the near future.
Father Woodley, formerly of Anch
orage and Seward, will also come
North with a plane, he said.
STORK BRINGS GIRL
At 5 o’clock Tuesday afternoon
the Stork arrived at the Seward
General Hospital bringing to
Mrs. Hatsford of Woodrow, a
fine little daughter. Mother and
babe are doing nicely, it is re- j
ported.
