THE ROAD BUILDERS
Here in Seward the Congressional party may
a glimpse of the splendid work being earned
ob
tain a glimpse of the spienma wor* u«..B — — f°£
w,.rd by one of their departments, the Bureau of Public
Hoads Another monument to this highly skilled depat
merit cun be seen at Moose Pass. The rich potential re
sources of Alaska can only be developed by the building
of roads. Progress follows the road builders.
Now that mosquitos ate up seven horses near An
chorage would it be right for one bug to say to another,
“That’s a horse on me!”
Appreciating the limited time at the hands of oui
distinquished visitors, the Congressmen, the Gateway
is reproducing agricultural editorials taken fi om the tiles
of the last three years; also, a few new ones. We trust
they will convey the message that as our roads and trail
system is developed and the natural increase which will
follow in bringing to the light of day our wonderful re
sources of minerals, furs, timber, fish and reindeer, so
will our agricultural activities expand.
Reversing the usual order of those and these, when
the time comes Alaska’s products are canned and sold,
then millions of dollars will remain home to assist in
building that ladder of success we are constantly talk
ing about. Alaskans must first build from within.
PLUGGING A HOLE |
The annual cry of the Alaska Game Commission
that lack of funds prohibits stationing a game warden
in Seward, the gatewav and outlet for all the hunting
areas of this and Interior Alaska, is certainly a sad
thing to hear. Hunderds of thousands of dollars in furs
flow thru the Port of Seward each year. Yet no warden
is here to watch the bung.
Scientists visiting Katmai Valley assert that they
are the first to penetrate the Valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes since 1912. A slight error, brothers. Our own
Mel Horner and party, and Anchorage’s Capt. Nick
Gaikema and party, visited the region a few years ago;
they too, had their soles scorched by heated crusts of
lava.
DREAMS COMING TRUE
When Herbert Hoover became secretary oi com
merce in 1921 he doubtless dreamed of a great depait
ment of the government devoted to the interests of oui
commercial life and possibly envisioned a splendid build
ing to house its many activities. If so, his dreams are
coming true.
Using the same trowel and gavel with which Pres
ident Washington set the cornerstone of the national cap
itol in 1793, President Hoover recently laid the corner
stone of the new $17,500,000 commerce building on Penn
sylvania avenue, which is to be the largest office struc
ture of its kind in the world.
This great building is one of several authorized bj
the act of 1926, involving a total expenditure of some
$50,000,000. When this program is completed Washing
ton will be the most magnificent capital in the world
which it should be, and a source of inspiration and prid*
for every American.
Mexico has vindicated its title to “Land of Manana.’
Every important question is now passed over to Morrow
The last bunch of Congressmen to visit Alaska
were inveigled into suping in a motion picture dance hal
scene. Wonder if we can’t frame up a stampede foi
these in Seward today?
. Alaska is noted for it’s quartz; other countries foi
their quarts.
MEMBERS OF HOUSE SUB
COMMITTEE MAKING A
PERSONAL SURVEY
Providing the Goddess of Good
| Luck smiles upon Seward today,
it will be a day to be forever re
called with great pleasure due to
j the expected arrival from the
fnerior of the distinguished
members of the Congressional
party and a brief visit here with
them.
But perhaps Old Man “Tough
Luck’’ may frown and the party
| immediately board the Cutter
, Tahoe and depart for the south,
but—let’s not talk about that!
In any case, according to the
last reports from Healy, yester
day. the visitors were then en
■ route south but their arrival in
Seward appeared to hinge entire- 1
ly upon their length of stay in {
McKinley National Park, and at j
other points. Upon their depart- !
ure from Seward last week it I
i was said they woul return today j
and the time of arrival ranged j
from 3 p. m. to 7 o’clock this j
: evening.
xue umuiai visitation 01 mem- i
bers of the house appropriations
l sub-committee for agriculture is
for the sole purpose of acquaint
ing themselves with conditions
in the Territory. They have made
j it known that it is their desire
j to learn of the country from
the rank and file, and entertain
ments ,etc., are out of order.
However, it is the hope of
Seward citizens that they may
be afforded the opportunity of
meeting the party at a supper,
| soon after their arrival today,
land, as far as is known at this
writing, this plan will be car- :
i ried out. i
Comprising the party are L.
J. Dickenson of Iowa, chairman;
|J. W. Summers of Washington; j
John N. Sandlin of Louisiana; ;
and James P. Dickenson of Tex
as.
Owing to illness the fifth
member of the party, Repre
sentative E. H. Wasson of New j
Hampshire, did not accompany i
them.
Others in the party are Mrs. !
Dickenson, Mrs. Summers and
daughter Miss Jean, and James j
P. Buchanan, Jr; William A. Du
vall is secretary of the commit
tee.
i Also Chief Forester Maj. R. Y.
Stuart, Commissioner Charles H.
Flory, Col. Otto F. Ohlson, gen
eral manager of the Alaska
Railroad, H. W. Terhune, execu
tive officer of the Alaska Game
Commission, and Dr. H. W. Al
berts, head of the Alaska Exper
imental Farms.
Upon boarding the U. S. Coast
Guard Cutter Tahoe it is thot
the party will go direct to Seat
tle, via the Outside passage, and
from Seattle to California by
train.
President Leon Urbach of the
Seward Chamber of Commerce
, reports the wires have been kept
hot today and it is believed the
paT*ty will arrive in Seward at
5:30 o'clock this afternoon and
the supper will be held at 6:30
j in the banquet room of the Sew
ard Grill. The supper is a public
affair and all citizens and visit
’ ors «»re extended an ivitation to
!, attend.
LADIES OF SEWARD
' Once again it is particularly
asked that the wives of Seward
residents accompany their hus
bands to the supper to the Con
i' gressional party, and their wives,
[ which is to be held in the Sew
, ard Grill this evening at 6:30.
