EXTENSION TO
 SEWARD DOCK TO
 BE MADE SHORTLY
FUTURE OF PORT OF SEWARD EXTREMELY BRIGHT, COL
 OHLSON FEELS CONFIDENT

Work will commence shortly on extending the Seward Dock, ac- cording to Col Otto F. Ohlson, general manager of the Alaska Railroad, who was a brief visitor here last week. It has just about been decided to run the big dock west another TOO feet and it is thought a similar extension will be made toward the east end; Colonel Ohlson desires to have ample berthing space for two or more large steamers.
 Referring to the breakWater, ne stated that he thought 2 small one, as has been approved, would be sufficient for the present needs of small craft, that breakWater extending out from Lowell Point would cost an enormous sum and he doubted if at this time such protection was needed for gov ernment property; the dock. With the natural growth of transporta- tion and Port of Seward business, he feels the time will come when the entire present dockage system will have to be torn out and piers built. Piers will give vessels all the protection necessary from the elements particularly from south winds
 Colonel Ohl4on, during the course Of his conversation, com- mented for a moment as to the future Of Seward. Seward" he stated, "has, I believe, the finest harbor in Alaska, and I look for it to become Alaskas greatest seaport. You have every conceiy- able natural facility here to make 1t the greatest and as the ocean terminus of the government rail- road system, the near future should bring many substantial changes.

 The construction of the con- meeting road link between your highway with Moose Pass will prove of great benefit to the city of Seward as well as to the Al aska Railroad am heartily in favor of construction of roads and trails anywhere in the Territory where they are needed insofar as the various road departments have funds to carry forward such pro- jects.
 1T also see a great future in oul air-lanes; 1t is a wonderfully eff ficient way in which to journey about the Territory; this I know having, as you may recall, made an air voyage from Nome to Fair banks. The air-view of Mount Mckinley from the west side wat gorgeous"
 Colonel Ohlson will probably re- tuurn to Seward in about weeE at which time further announce ment as to local railroad activi- ties will be made.

BEDTIME STORIES By y r sSse4s,

ITS going to be easier for the one
in the nest" declared Mrs. Hooty.
'Why?" demanded Hooty.
Simply because that nest is high up,
and 1t Is always easier to come down
than it is to go up" replied Mrs. Hooty
All We need do when we think the time
has come is to crowd that youngster
out OF the nest. The minute she thinks
she's falling she'll spread those big
, wings of hers and find out what they're
for. But we can't do that with the one
on the ground. So 1t probably will take
i some time for him to learn how to use
those wings. What are you chuc-
king at?"
| Hooty was chuckling. There was no
doubt about 1.-THE was chuckling
Look down on that old stump" said he.
Mrs. Hooty looked down. There was a
| low stump on which she had often sat
after feeding her baby. The young Owl
was sitting on that stump. Yes, sir; he
was sitting on that stump and looking
as If he felt very important. WELL
never!" exclaimed Mrs. Hooty. Then,
without another word, she flew down
and alighted on the stump beside the
youngster.
Now, of course, the youngster thought
she was bringing him something to eat,
and he Immediately began to make a
hadn't brought anything to eat he
made still more of a fuss. Mrs. Hooty
few back up in the tree where Hooty
was. The young Owl down on the
stump half spread his big wings and
looked up as If he intended to follow
her OF course, he couldn't do that.
| Now, up in the nest was some food
which the other young Owl had not
eaten. Mrs. Hooty took some of this
| and flew back to the stump. The young
Owl there reached for it eagerly. Mrs.
/ Hooty snatched it away just as ne was
going to seize it. She flew with it to a
low branch only a couple of feet above
the young Owls head. Then she held
that food out in most tantalizing way.
The young Owl made a great fuss
about it. He cried and begged and
| tapped his wings. And then quite sud-
denly there he was on that limb beside
his mother. She fed him, of course
After that it was an easy matter to get
him up on another limb little higher,
and so on, until he was half way up
to the nest Mrs. Hooty felt as If half
| her worries were over. She gave a great
! sigh of relief That young Owl would
soon be flying and few would dare to
| NEEDLE with him.

Mrs Hooty was getting all worn out
Anyway, that is what she told Hooty
She said she just couldn't stand il
much longer 1t was bad enough tC
bring up babies in a nest, where they
were reasonably safe, but to bring ur
one on the ground where all sorts OF
dangers were likely, was enough to drive
any mother crazy, and she was just
about crazy.
1T seems to me-" said Hooty, ''that
that youngster is about big enough to
fly"
Well, being about big enough to fly
and being quite big enough to fly are

two different matters" retorted Mrs.
Hooty. That youngster is about big
enough, but until he is big enough I
have got to keep right on worrying. The
bigger he is the more worry. He won't
keep still any more. One of these days
he'll get to moving around while I'm
away and some one with big appetite
viii get him"
well, there's no use worrying" said
Hooty Worrying isn't going to help
you any. It isn't going to make him
ny any sooner. He is a pretty healthy
looking youngster and I wouldn't be a
bit surprised to see him fly before this
