ANOTHER CONCRETE
REASON
Ihe damage to small boats on the water-tront last
night and the endangering of all, from the southeaster
which smote Seward with almost hurricane force, again
demonstrated why we have been clamoring for a break
water behind which the small craft may run to safety.
No stronger argument could be put forward than a com
pilation of damage wrought by gales of the past few
years. The money for the project has been appropriated;
let us hope the Alaska Road Commission may see its way
clear to start on it next spring.
Some of the campaign whisperers appear to have a
loud speaker attachment.
VOTERS SHOULD GET OUT
Seward voters have a bad reputation for lack of en
thusiasm at the polls according to local candidates whc
are urging everyone to go to the ballot booths on Nov
ember 6, irrespective of how they mark their tickets.
It is said that Valdez voters hie themselves to the
polling places in unanimous force and that when the
totals are compiled, they make a better showing than
does Seward. They afterwards flash these results when
the question comes up as to wheih city should be the
court headquarters for the Third Judicial District al
though the Gateway City has a larger potential vote
than does the middle southern town.
An editor gets many an idea from folks who suggest
how to run the paper. Most frequently it is the idea that
he’d like to shoot the suggester.
Lady Astor says Americans do not understand
Europeans. She might have added that Americans do
not understand one another, either.
From the statements of their campaign managers it
is hard to see how either Smith or Hoover can lose.
If this political excitement keeps up we may yet get
out 50 per cent of the vote on November 6.

SUDDEN BLOW NEARLY WRECKS
SHIPPING IN SEWARD HAR
BOR LAST NIGHT
i
i
In the absence of a shelter har
bor, six halibut schooners from the
banks and local craft narrowly es
caped disaster last night in one of
the worst Southeasters that has
hit Resurrection Bay in years.
The storm came up the bay about
6 o’clock last evening, blowing great
!guns and almost lifting pedestrians
-from their feet along the north and
I south street1' where the wind had
| full nlav
The Alton and the Paragon, l g
h~ntmt boa's, were icing at the
Tok of th San Juan Fishing &
Packing Co. The Panama, Brum
wail, Daily and Venture were still
I in harbor after having boxed their
halibut for shipment to Seattle.
Those who were on the San Juan
dock when the storm struck say !
; that the lton and Paragon got,
away iust in the nic kof time paus- '
ing for perilous moments on the!
brink of huge waves that came un
the crest of the wind and tide. Tlmy j
got their engins going immediately
and bucked the wind ta the open
bay so as not be dashed against the
pilings and weathered the storm in j
the lee of the eastward mountains !
| down Resurrection Bay. The Pan
lama, Brunwall, Daily and Venture,
all halibut schooners which had
come in for boxing of their catch
let loose moorings and also crept
within the shelter of the eastern
| mountains, riding out the storm j
thru the night and reporting a
none too pleasant experience.
'In the meantime the Chase, a
local boat, had dragged her anchor
from the supposed haven inside the
city dock and went ashore The i
crew managed to get abard and;
man the pumps and the boat was
floated and pulled away from tiie
breakers.
The Astrid, wned by Capt. Sand
j vik was riding at anchor in the im
mediate roadstead and began to
I drag anchor and drift ashore as the
gale increased from the Southward.
| Prom 11 o’clock until 1 in the morn
ing volunteers hauled on a line
I that had been put ashore keeping
the boat’s nose to the beach. Sev
eral times she threatened to be i
overwhelmed by the waves as she '
veered sidewise to the beach. She j
is beached in sand and said to be [
leaking.
The winds did further damage ;
.when they hit the Brown & Haw
jkins warehouse which had recently!
| been removed from the south water j
[front to a new site at Sixth and.
Railroad Avenue but not yet se- j
Jcurely placed on the new founda
tions. The huge structure was blown
off its concrete piles partly collaps
ing in the middle necessitating
considerable repair work.
One of the southward windows of
the postoffict in the Federal Build
ing was blown in, accrding to re
port, permitting an influx of mois
ture but no serious damage.
Reports from adjacen tstations
on the Alaska Railroad are being
awaited but it is believed that the
wind wrecked its chief vengeance
along the south waterfront.
RUMOR RUNS RIFE
An alleged mysterious telephone
call last night in which a woman s
voice reported that she had shot
a man has started rumors running ^
around town. Inquiries at local
police headquarters and Federal
headquarters elicted the informa
tion that the report seemed to be
a hoax.
Don’t overlook hearing
the new “Okeh” records at
Sylvia’s. You’ll be surprised.
