GENERIL STEESE HERE
FOB I BRIEF VISIT
Brig. Gen. James Gordon Steese,
former president of the Alaska
Road Commission and general man
ager of the Alaska Railroad, re
turned to the city today from
Fairbanks where, at t h e Alaska
College, he was honored when he
received the degree of Doctor of
Science. This was the first degree
conferred by the college and sig
nalled the 10th anniversary of its
establishment.
His trip to Alaska has nothing
to do with the reported consolida
tion of the Alaska Road Commis
sion and the Department of In
terior, as The Gateway previously
reported.
General Steese, a guest at the
Van Gilder hotel, plans to return
to the Interior, to McKinley Park
and Fairbanks, thence back to the
coast over the Richardson High
way.
THREE “GEODUCKS”
Three understudies of Gaston B.
Means, national prohibition direc
tor, (what ever that means) are
reported to have been passengers
on the SS Alaska; one leaving the
vessel at the fair city of Cordova,
and the other two, here. Hunters
claim it is a little early for “gooey
ducks” to make their appearance.

have been a collapse of the snow
shed at about Mile 48, or immedi
ately opposite the glacier at the
summit where the track Approach
es the loop trestle, the regular
passenger train was delayed sev
eral hours, arriving in Seward at
3:15 this morning. The shed collaps
ed from an overweight of snow
which failed to pass over and into
the valley below.

pioneer airmen of Alaska, is now
an aerial pioneer of Idaho, carry
ing forward the same type of work
under which he flew when in the
North. Bennett is flying to isolated
mining communities to nearby
cities. His base is at Boise.

FOR LOME STATION:
II1S. SWALLOW IN PORT
The Navy Ship Swallow, supply
vessel for Naval radio stations in
Alaska arrived in port at 5:30 a.m.
today with a caretaker and pro
visions for the local naval radio
station. This station was recently
abandoned by the Signal Corps, of
the United States Army after they
had taken over its operations from
the Navy some years ago.
The Signal Corps has had a care
taker stationed at the station since
they abandoned it but it is indi
cated now that they are relinquish
ing all hold on the station and it
Is being turned over to the Navy
again.
The Swallow, which arrived from
the South, will leave Seward early
tonight for Kodiak, Dutch Harbor
and St. Paul Island. St. Paul Is
land is her last port of call before
the vessel begins her return voy
age and at St. Paul the vessel will
leave two men.
The Swallow has a crew of about
50 men and is 180 feet in length.
The vessel was a former minesweep
er for the Navy.
COMPLETES SURVEY
David E. Thomas, chief of the
Alaskan office of the Bureau of
Indian Affairs with offices at Wash
ington, D. C. left on the SS. Alaska
for Seattle enroute to his Washing
ton headquarters. Mr. Thomas has
just completed a survey trip in In
terior Alaska and flew into the
Bristol Bay area and into the Kus
kokwim region, having returned to
Anchorage the other day. Mr.
Thomas particular work at Wash- 1
ington is the preparation of esti
mates for appropriations for the
Indian Bureau’s Alaska expendi
tres and the presentation of these j
to the Budget Committee. The
Survey trip just completed was for |
the purpose of familiarizing him- j
self with Alaska's needs.
STILL-WATER BASE
Plans for the still-water sea-;
plane base at Anchorage are pro- |
gessing extraordinarily well and it'
is confidently felt that before long i
the project will be a reality, ac
cording to arrivals in Seward Fri
day frcm the city of destiny. The
project involves the lower end of!
Chester creek valley, an acreage of j
approximately 100. The artificial
lake would be 6,000 feet in length
and having a depth between one
and one-half feet to 16 feet, ample !
for the purpose desired.
TOOK OFF FOR VALDEZ
The Monocoupe, small cabin
monoplane which soarded down
from the mountains Friday com
ing from Valdez, took off on the j
return hop a few hours later. Pilot 1
Frank Pollock was at the joy-stick !
with Lerdahl holding down the'
cushions to the rear.
The German cruiser Karlshue,
with a complement of 520 officers
and men, arrived at Juneau Thurs
day for an 11 days visit.
TODAY’S “WISE-CRACK”
The idea of charging toll over the
Richardson highway has a degree
of merit. Prospectors can pay in
quartz and Uncle Sam will be com
pelled to erect a smelter to treat
it.
GOLF CLUB MEET
The annual business meeting
and election of officers of the Sew
ard Golf Club is called for Mon
day evening at 8 o’clock in the
city offices below the Bank of Sew
ard. Work on the grounds began
Thursday. All interested in the
game are invited to attend.
EVANS SOUTH SUNDAY
The SS Admiral Evans, of the
Pacific Steamship Company, now
to the Westward, is scheduled to
sail south from the Port of Sew
ard Sunday morning at 6 o'clock.
Mrs. W. S. Horning, wife of the
well known mining man, is now
in Iowa visiting her mother who
is reported to be seriously ill.

BETTER TIMES ARE CONING
Don’t be Discouraged!
Don’t lose the will to win .... don’t join the pessimists who
see naught but disaster ahead—
During a previous depression, the government had to is-1
sue paper “Clearing House Certificates” as a substitute for
money. Conditions were just as bad, only we have forgotten.
Prosperity has always followed bad times—this is one of the
laws of business cycles.
Now is the time to substitute the word “Reconstruction” for
v “depression.”
Don’t be discouraged. Lend a hand to reestablish confidence.
America will see this through and emerge victorious.
Better times are coming!
We pay 4 per cent interest compounded semi
annually on all savings accounts.
