INLET IS OPEN
The Anchorage harbor is open and
navigable. The government steam tug
Anne W. left Seldovia at 3 o’clock yes
terday morning and dropped anchor
in the government harbor at 8:15
o’clock last night. She towed in the
barge Knik laden with a 20-ton cargo
of gasoline and powder that was un
loaded at the government harbor this
morning. Captain Jim Ward was in
command and reports that the bay
was practically free from ice and that
he did not encounter any difficulties
on the voyage. The Anne W. left An
chorage at 7:40 o’clock this morning
with a cargo of material to be used in
repairs on the government floating
equipment at Seldovia. She will re
turn on the regular run within a few
days with another cargo of govern
ment supplies and railroad equipment
and other steamers and tugs will fol
low in her wake.
Owing to the “in status quo” condi
tion of the wireless station the arrival
was not announced other than by the
sound of firearms from the excited
citizens who first sighted her lights in
the bay. u
Hundreds of citizens hurried to the
beach to see the arrival of the first
steamer and she came not as the con
quering hero whose arrival was an
nounced by a blaze of banners and a
blare of trumpets but crept silently in
on the placid waters of a practically
iceless and waiting bay. Other steam
ers and launches will follow the lead
of the Anne W. and it is authoritative
ly reported that the Launch Buffalo,
under command of the Anderson bro
thers, is due to arrive from Seldovia
some time tomorrow. The safe condi
tion of the harbor amply justifies the
sailings of the larger steamer and it is
stated■ that one of the big line
steamers will make the trip before
schedule time.
The Daily Times has advised the
neighboring coast towns and outside
world that the Anchorage harbor is
open and navigable and that the first
steamer reached here on the evening
of March 7th, which is the record.
The Scandinavian society will hold
