I
NEW YORK, Aug. 28. — Leading ;
football coaches, returning here!
from the East vs. West football
game in the Chicago the other day, j

that tactic, the coaches said.

CITY OF SEWARD
WAS FOUNDED
30 YEARS AGO
Today really should have been
the occasion of some celebration in
Seward to honor the landing on
Resurrection Bay 30 years ago of
the first group of settlers in this
I city to mark the origin of Sew- i
| ard. The landing was made from;
; the Santa Anna in small boats a
few feet south from where the
Seward dock now stands. Only two
residents are in Seward who were
in that party and they are T. W.
Hawkins, of Brown and Hawkins
j Corp., Mrs. G. W. James, Andy
Rasmussen and Antone Eide. Other
members of the original party
were William H. Whittlesey, Gen
eral A. W. Greely, Prof E. S. Meany,
John E. Ballaine, the late John A.
Nelson and his brother Alfred Nel
son, Don Carlos Brownell, Sr., and
others.
There was only one house stand
ing on the beach at that time. It
had been built by the Shackleford;
party, who built a wagon road, i
from the beach of Resurrection i
Bay, several miles toward Cooper |
Creek, for the purpose of trans-j
porting hydraulic pipes for placer;
work at the creek.
The only other inhabitants on
Resurrection Bay were Mrs. Wm.
Lpwell and children. Mrs. Andy
Simons is the only member of the
Lowell family who is now living.'
She resides on Kenai Lake.
The party which landed here 30 j
years ago, today, came here for the ;
purpose of surveying the route of
the Alaska Central Railroad from
Resurrection Bay on to the interior, i
