i ---
I Maurice L. Sharp, 'popular Anchor
age resident and chemist in charge
of the Bureau of Mines office, Alaska
i Railroad, returned to Seward Satur
day from the great Outside where the
j has been romping about for the last
I three months seeing what there was
Jto be seen after an absence of, lo,
these many years. One brief glimpse
I of his smiling countenance was suf
jficient for one to note that the vaca
tion acted as a wonderful tonic for!
he looks the picture of health. Mr. |
Sharp is the imted producer of Anch
orage having put over successfully
some of the finest shows the Terri
tory ever saw, and while Outsde this
trip he took the opportunity of look
ing over many new manuscrips.
He had the pleasure of attending
both the Shrine and the Elks conven
tion at Chicago and had the time of
his young life; One incident of that
, visit will ever be recalled, he said,
| due to one one afternoon when he
I was waltzng down one of the main
| thoroughfares. He w'as wearing at
! the time an Anchorage “Bills” silk
ribbon on his hat. He noticed a
stranger eyeing the ribbon curious
ly but was stunned when all of a
| sudden the stranger burst out,“Well
I’ll be darned, from Alaska, huh!”
j As quick as lightening Mr. Sharp res
ponded, “No, from Anchorage.”
Mr. Sharp stated he was not only
stunned but shocked at the language.
But before he could get better ac
qainted the ruffian rushed away
with tears streaming dowm his florid
cheeks. Mr. Sharp i3 under the im
pression it was an old timer who ac
costed him and that when he saw a
relic from out of the past he just lost
control of himself.
.For a period of a month and one
! half Mr. Sharp hovered about the
i Pittsburg office of the Bureau of
i Mines going from there to his former
home town, Fort Wayne, Ind.There
he spent an enjoyable visit at the
) home of his parents and relatives.
I Salt lake w'as the next port of call;
thence to Portland, Ore., where,as he
had done while in Pittsburg, he made
trips of investigation to varous mines
and plants where the methods of
manufacturing by-products from coal
[were closely studied. The gas plants
j wrnre extrmely interesting to him, he
i stated. He also payed a visit to the
[Seattle station of the department.
The visits to these stations and
; plants impressed him immensely in
connection with the future develop
ment of "Alaska coal.
Mr. Sharp departed today for his
‘Anchorage office.

About the happiest boy in Seward,
Sunday morning, was Richard Pros
ser, “new'sy” for the Gateway. This
was caused by the arrival of a brand
newr De Luxe bicycle on the Aleutian.
At 9:30 in the morning he remarked
| that he had been out since 8 otolock
breaking in his new vihicle, even for
going breakfast, in his apparent de
light.
