WELCOME COLONEL OLMSTEAD
In behalf of the citizens of Seward, the Seward
Chamber of Commerce and The Gateway, extends wel
come to Lt. Colonel Dawson Olmstead, Signal Corps, U.
S. A liny, who arrives in the city today from the South.
Born in Pennsylvania, May 21, 1884, Colonel Olm
stead graduated from the Corry, Pa., High School, after
which he entered West Point Military Academy, from
July 31, 1902 to June 12,1906 when he was commissioned
to the Regular Army, serving in Cavalry, Field Artillery,
Signal Corps and Finance Departments.
He became a 2nd Lieutenant on June 12, 1906, a 1st
Lieutenant July 12,1907, Captain on July 1, 1916, a Maj
or on July 1, ,1920 and promoted to his present rank of
Lt. Colonel, January 7, 1930.
During the World War Colonel Olmstead served as
Major, Lt. Colonel and Colonel of Field Artillery. He is
a distinquished graduate of the Command and General
Staff School and is eligible for duty with the General
Staff Corps; he is also a graduate of the Army Signal
School.
The Colonel made an excellent record during the
World War and was also in charge of the Signal Section
of New York Intermediate Depot for one tour of duty.
He has just completed a four-year tour of duty in the
office of the Chief Signal Officer; he served in the Sig
nal Corps from June 13, 1911 to December 2, 1912, and
has been on continuous duty in the Signal Corps, to
which branch ha was transferred, since March 10, 1921.
Judging from this admirable record Alaska ,and
the W-A. M. C. & T. System is particularly fortunate to
havr such an officer of such wide experience, in charge.
He succeeded Lieut. Col. Frank Griffin, in charge for
the last three years, June 1, 1931.
From a military standpoint little need he said as he
is a “West Pointer.” Experience in the Finance Depart
ment is broadening and work in the Field Artillery and
Signal Corps, highly technical.
In the years to come it is hoped Colonel Olmstead
will continue his steady advancement toward the high
est honors which may he attained in the Army, and that
his visits to this great Northern Empire be frequent.
3,000 TONS OF COAL IMPORTED
It is understood a 3,000 ton coal contract at Chil
koot Barracks, of recent date, was awarded outside in
terests because the price quoted was $1:00 per ton less.
Naturally, we don’t advocate giving Alaska coal away,
but it certainly seems as though Alaska coal operators
can underbid the imported product. Here is a matter
for the Chamber of Commerce to delve into and bring
to the surface all details. Every ton of coal imported into
Alaska not only effects the coal operators, the Alaska
Railroad and the Port of Seward, but Alaska as a whole.
It is a certainty if the country was in a state of war,
billions of dollars would be poured into the lap of Mars.
But when times like the present panic, not depression,
arrives, the idea is snap out of it the best you can and
alone. Editor Hearst, in his radio broadcast of last week,
solved the entire situation when he advocated a five bil
lion dollar public works program. A lot of theories and
other “whooie” will now be turned lose in reply to
Hearst, but, in a few words, he told the whole story.
*$**********
If we do not get our happiness along the way we
shall never get it at all. The real joy of life is not some
thing that can be banked and drawn on at some future
date. It has to be taken from day to day.

GIT EDGLE KILLED
ON NIG DU MB
BY MRS. PETER SNTHER
After a three year quest, Mrs.
Peter Sather, wife of Capt. Sather
of the Nuka Bay Transportation
system, finally killed an eagle
which is believed to set a record
in matter of size.
The eagle measured seven feet,
11 inches, wing to wing. The great
bird was brought down with a 22
rifle. Photographs were taken of
the dead marauder.
Mrs. Sather arrived in Seward
Monday from Nuka Bay with her
well known seafaring husband.
Henry Larson, pardner of Alfred
Larson in the Cheechako mine,
was also a passenger on the Rolf.
It is Mrs. Sather’s first visit to
Seward in several months. She
brings word that her foxes on
Nuka Bay Island are doing well
and a large increase is looked for
this season.
