RECEPTION FOR COLONEL GRIFFIN
While it is eminently proper to applaud the head of
a department who works out the details of an organiza
tion, it is often due to the energies of those entrusted
with executing the plans which makes it readily effect
ive and to serve the purpose for which it was created.
This is shown in the growth of the Signal Corps
service in Alaska, which has become one of the impor
tant institutions of the Territory. This result is due, to
a great extent, to the class of men who have been en
trusted with the work of bringing the far places of the
Territory into closer touch.
When the Seattle-Seward cable was laid in 1905, it
was subject to attack by members of congress who con
tended the system would, like the postoffice department,
be a perpetual deficit-bearing institution. The same
is being said of the Alaska Railroad by men lacking vis
ion. Government reports reveal the cable and radio sys
tem in Alaska is bringing net and increasing returns
annually. The Signal Corps has not only kept pace with
commercial advances, but has led in many important
phases.
Tomorrow at noon the citizens of this city will
have the pleasure of meeting and hearing the chief of
the Washington-Alaska system, Lieut. Co\. Frank J.
Griffin who, accompanied by Mrs. Griffin, return this
evening from Fairbanks Colonel Griffin is making his
first tour of inspection of the Alaska area since he re^
centlv assumed charge,. succeeding Colonel Hartman,
retired.
Seward business men, especially, will welcome the
opportunitv to personally meet the distinguished visitor
and to wish him increasing success in his new duties.
It is said Colonel Griffin can do much for Alaska as
he is an exceptional constructive administrator; the
Territory needs such men. Reports reaching Seward
previous to the Colonel’s arrival were to the effect he is
of the tvpe whom one likes instantly: that not only is
he rated as one of the big men of the TJ. S. Signal Corps
but is one of the most popular as well
Colonel Griffin came to Seattle from the Presidio,
at San Francisco, and prior to that was on duty in the
Philinnines. While this is his first assignment to duty
in this a^ea he is very familiar with all Signal Corns ac
tivities. In 1924, as the representative of the United
States, he went to London and successfullv conducted
the negotiations for the purchase of the 1,800 miles of
cable linking Seattle. Ketchikan and Seward.
The citizens of this city have alwavs been verv glad
to coonerafe with the Signal Corps and to this end, wel
come in all sincerity the visit of Colonel Griffin and
his charming wife.
