COOK INLET SUBSIDY WITHDRAWN
Evidence of the baleful effect created through the last Legislature
surrendering to the Governor of practically all the powers accorded
under the Organic Act, conies to light in the information that the Gov
ernor has notified Captain Heinie Berger, of the MS Discoverer, that
the subsidy voted by the Legislature will not be forthcoming this sum
mer.
The withholding of the subsidy is a serious blow to approximately
500 people, residents of Cook Inlet. With the aid of the subsidy, it has
been possible to maintain a regular service, keeping those settlements
along the Inlet in constant touch and communication with the Out
side world.
The condition is made possible through the action of the »Legisla
ture in delegating to the Governor approximately 80 per cent of the
control of appropriations. And the Governor has not been slow in ex
ercising this authority.
Those familiar with conditions, see in the action an effort at dis
cipline against any Alaskan who incures in the displeasure of Federal
powers. Last summer Captain Berger and Capt. Axel Olsen locked horns
with The Alaska Railroad because they accepted consignments of
freight from Seward to Anchorage. It was rumored at the time that
“they were flying in the face of providence” in entering into competi
tion. Evidently Captain Berger was.
Captain Berger finds it will be necessary to increase passenger and
freight rates, and it will be impossible to give past service without the
subsidy, although he will still carry mail Under his contract. He had
the subsidy last year, but, according to information, has been notified
by the Governor that the subsidy for 1932, voted by the Legislature,
will be cancelled.
YOUNG PROSPECTOR
Merrill K. Riddick, whose home
address is Ketchikan, passed thru
Seward today enroute to the Cache
Creek placer district, where he will
prospect for the summer. Mr. Rid
dick, before coming to Alaska was
a transport pilot ixi the Air Service,
holding the rank of major in the
Air Service Reserve.
TWO MORE GO NORTH
Arthur H. Pinkus, secretary of
Cordova Igloo No. 19, and Cal M.
Brosius, Seward business man and
former Grand President of the
Grand Igloo, Pioneers of Alaska, left
today for Fairbanks where the an
nual Grand Igloo convention con
venes.
MYSTERY PLANE
A mystery plane was heard
moaning high overhead Friday af
ternoon and as three autoists
neared the landing field, they could
discern the ship completing a cir
cle to the north of the field then
head up Resurrection Valley into
the thick murk or snowfall in the
mountains. It is thought that the
pilot, after looking the field over
and noting the scarcity of snow,
figured discretion was better than
valor, so continued on to other
places.
C. M. O’Neel, local resident and
formerly of Latouche, left on the
train today for the Interior. It is
understood that he is enroute to
the Eva Creek Mines, near Flat.

LEAVES FOR STATES
Pilot Frank Dorbandt, one of Al
aska's pioneer aviators and prob
ably one of the best known of Al
aska airmen, not only in the Ter
ritory but also in the States, ar
rived in Seward on Friday’s train
to connect with the liner Yukon
for the States. Dorbandt recently
visited Shishaldin volcano and ob
tained a number of good pictures
of that mountain’s activity and
later put his plane inside of Aniak
chak volcano, the first time such
a feat has been accomplished.
Dorbandt had about 200 feet of
moving pictures of this latter feat
and he took this film out with him.
It is understood he will return to
Alaska in a few weeks.
ANYTHING IN IT?
It is suggested that owing to lack
of male candidates for the Mayor’s
chair and councilmen’s seats, an
all-woman ticket be made up. This
is the first rumbling heard thus far
with reference to the city election
next month, The Gateway’s inves- •
tigating committee reports.
Mrs. O. Sandbeck, who underwent
an operation two days ago in the
Seward General Hospital, returned
home yesterday greatly improved.
TEMPORARY MANAGER
Arthur W. Johnson, manager of !
the Alaskan Airways in Alaska, was
flown to Anchorage from Fairbanks
Saturday by Pilot Young. John

pose of putting a temporary man

base while S. Clark Bassett is away
from his office. Bassett passed thru
Seward Friday evening.

WELL AND PURE
Wm. Patterson, who recently un
derwent three operations in the
Seward General Hospital, was dis
charged Friday well and pure. It
is said that while Dr. Haverstock
had him on the table and was
winding up the second operation,
using a local anaesthetic, he turn
ed and said: “Bill, your appendix
doesn’t look any too good.” Bill is
reported to have answered: “Well,
then, cut the d— thing out!”
WALRUS HUNTER
As the shades of evening gently
fell last evening, Warren Neal, Arc
tic walrus hunter, was seen to float
to terra firma with marvelous ag
ility from the passenger train from
the North. When not spearing' the
mighty walrus or docile beefsteak,
Neal inspects ties for the Alaska
Railroad.
