SEES FIRST AUTOMOBILE
AND FLAPPER SEWARD;
WESTWARD' 29 TEARS
Truth is stranger than fiction.
There arrived in Seward the past, |
week a man who saw his first auto-,
mobile when he disembarked from;
the S. S. Starr from the Westward.!
elnncidently he took his first glimpse |
of a flapper.
Frank Osborn is the man and ap
parently he is stepping from the fry
ling pan into the fire for he departed
(for the States on the steamer Alaska
i where he will remain throughout the
coming winter, returning north next
i spring and back to his home, Heren
;deen bay.' Undaunted by his unfam
iliarity with autos he proposes to
ipurchase one in Seattle and motor
ithrough to California.
“Of course,” he said, “if there is a i
possible chance to pick up a congen- j i
ial partner, especially one who knows J
how to drive, it will be so much j |
nicer.” But Mr. Osborn did not i
state exactly what he meant when *
he said congenial partner. However, j J
She left the impression that this part-j J
ner may wear skirts and that upon i
i his return in the spring he will be j |
accompanied by a bride. i
Feeling that Mr. Osborn should see ^
! the sights properly upon his arrival .
in Seattle, The Gateway has taken
the liberty to notify the Associated
Press of his visit. So in the very
'near future it is expected many ad
ditional stories will be read about
' Mr. Osborn aside from what has been
written locally.
For 15 years he lived on the Pacif
ic side of the peninsula and for the
'last 14 years his home has been on
jthe Bering sea side, Herendeen bay.
jit was in 1S98 when he first saw
j Kotzebue Sound. 'This was from the
(decks of a halibut schooner, for he
i has practically followed the sea tor
j 45 years. In 1S99 he made his last
trip Outside, returning the following
spring, in 1900. He was in > San
Francisco at that time and says that
perhaps the ’ocal automobile was not
the first that he had seen, for the
morning that he left San Francisco
his attention was attracted by a
terrific noise in the street and upon
looking out of his hotel window he
saw what appeared to be a wagon
moving down the street under motor
power.
Ten years ago he decided it was
about time to make a trip Outside
but stopped to work a season for
the Fidalgo Island Packing company
plant in the bay. He has bfceh there
i
ever since. s
Now that he is going out he wants
to see all there is to be seen and
unless he becomes tired of traveling
will remain on the coast all winter.
Otherwise he may take the trip back
to Illinois, the State in which he first
saw the light of day.
SECTION WORK HALTS
Practically all extra section work
on the Seward-Anchorage division
comes to a. halt today and about 40
men will be layed off, it is reported
locally. However, should the majori
ty of these men wish to move towards
, the northern divisions there is consid- j
erable work in those divisions yet.
’ Additional information can be obtain
ed from J. S. Hof man, at the Bel
mont lodging house.

MANY GO ON EXCURSION
Two coaches were packed this
morning with excursionists on their
way to a day’s outing at Lawing. The
train got away a half-hour later than
was expected, at 8:30 o’clock, which
was the signal for several additional
people to make up their minds to
go along. All will return this evening
at 7 o’clock.
Following a visit of several weeks
with her daughter, Mrs.P. W. Reed,
wife of the local Signal Corp man,
Anna K Colwell departs on the S. S.
Aleutian on Sunday for her home in
Seattle.
