LONDON, April "a. = Sir Percy
Vincent, newly elected Lord Mayor
of London, receives more than
$4,000 a year, twice the salary OF
a. British Prime Minister, but it
has been calculated that he will
have to spend as much more from

Mayor, when his term of office
ends next November, will look rue
fully at his bank balance and dis

discovered) that the official allow

In fact, many Mayors complain
that the gold chain of their office
is the only gold with which they

ruinous months as first citizen.

Seldovia has for a number CT
years been gaining way as a win

Alaskans who 'hole in for the win

region to live, attracted by the mild
climate and the economy of living.
Seldovia is famous for its prolific
clam beds, upon which a large part
of the population lives throughout
the year. With coal for the taxing
on the beach near Homer, and
moose in the hills behind the coal,
Seldovia residents have been able
to keep expenses down.

HOMER WANTS

Kenai Peninsula Commu.l
itv Petitions for Million
Dollar Project

A petition bearing 1880 names OF
residents of the Kenai Peninsula.
and sponsored by the Seldov a
Chamber of Commerce. has been re-
ceived by the Governors office ask
ing that additional road construc-
ton be carried on in the Homer dis
trict which is across Kachemak Bay
from Seldovia.
Two proposals are made by the
petitioners, one asking a connect
ing road from Homer to the end OF
the Bureau of Public Roads extern
sion near Skilak Lake, distance OF
about ITO miles, and the other ask
ing a connection between Homer
and Seldovia, a distance of about
IS miles around the end of Kache-
max Bay.
Prospects No. Bright
Prospects for action ON the pc
tition are not bright at this time,
according to the Alaska Road Com
mission under the direction OF
which the work would come. 1t is
estimated by the Commission that
i would require roughly a million
collars to build a road from Homer
to the B.P.R. connection at Skilak
Lake and an equally large sum OF
money to construct around Kache-
n,ak Bay which is an especially
rugged, mountainous country.
1t was explained by the Commits
sion that no Appropriation is avail
able for such an undertaking and
that as the Interior Department
lii carrying the road appropriation
is still in conference it is not known
whether any additional money Will
be granted this year. 1t is prooa-
BE. officials believe, that not much
more than enough to maintain pres
ent routes will be Forthcoming.
IS Miles Farm Road
At the present time there is about
10 miles of passable road in the
Homer community, built to aid the
farmers in that section in getting
to and from their places to the dock
at Homer. where connection is
made by small boat to Seldovia, five
miles across the bay The regular
steamers stop once a week at Sell
dovia and the small shuttle serv-
ice is maintained between the two
places.
The Homer section is reported as
particularly fertile and effort is
being made by residents of Seldovis
and Homer to interest settlers il

Last summer Linn Blankmann flew

But regardless of which theory is

years yet there will be men follow
ing Fortune along the thousands OF
miles of Alaska's shoreline, and
from time to time they will break
into the news.
The vastness and the relative iso-

Work Out Own Problem
For the most part this work has
been done without government aid.
They tackled the problems con-
fronting them on their own initia-
tive, and paid the prices they had
to pay to bring in their own cattle.
Nearly all of them are fishermen
as well as farmers, or really more
fishermen than they are farmers,
much of the money that they spend
on their property coming from their
summers earnings in their boats.
In the spring and fall months, and
sometimes in the winter, they sup
plement their other income by TAX
ing coal off the Lodges on the near
by beaches, md selling it in Sell
dovia.
Further speculation about this To-
cality centered around the posi-
bility of naval Ease on lower Cook
Inlet, as a result o. the inspection
visit there last winter of the air
plane carrier Ranger. Kachemai
Bay. an extensive and sheltered
deep-water channel extending ia
into Kenai Peninsula between Ho-
mer and Seldovia has been men
| toned as a favored site.
SeldOvfa
Seldovia is at present the me ro-
polls of lower Cook Inlet. The
upper end of the inlet, at Anchor
age, is frozen during the white
months. but the mild climate at the
lower end has given Seldovia year
round water connections by small
boats with surrounding villages.
AS Homer has no present shiI
harbor, most of its freight has gone
through Seldovia, but starting in
last year Heine Berger's small mo-
| tor ships Kasilof and Discovere1
have been calling at Homer.
There is some belief that the
building of a breakwater and con-
truction of wharfage there would
result in extensive growth on that
side, leaving Seldovia in the back
ground Seldovia flourished origin
ally as a herring center, but six
years ago the herring deserted, and

Beach gold is something that still

part, tramped over many times.
