Seward seaport record., 1951-11-23

Chamber of Commerce began a campaign for more direct scrv- ice between San Francisco, Port land, Seattle and the young rail road town. They thought it un- fair that Southeastern Alaska ports should always be called on en route to Seward and return, thus delaying normal freight and mail service for many additional days.
 For many reasons, shipWrecks were frequent in these times, and made thrilling and some times grueSOme news on the front pages of the Seward paper. We have been unable to learn the date, but it was during the first few years after the found ing of the town when the old Dora was torn loose from her berth at the Seward dock, and beached in high wind, so high and dry that it took many weeks to get her back afloat Ship Wrecks elsewhere in Alaska often affected the town directly, as when the S.S. Ohio was wrecked at Spire Island, and MT. c. G. Boe lost equipment for a complete brass foundry which he had intended to install at Seward. He was fortunate in deed, to escape with his life dur ing this marine disaster.
 Although no serious marine disasters occurred in Resurrec- tion Bay or vicinity, local inter ests demanded better naviga- tional aids, and in September, 1909, the Tender Armeria ar rived to select a site for fixed light. It was installed in June, 1910, at BarWell Island.
 Here are a few figures indi- eating the extent of commerce in 1904 and 1905, according to the Governors Annual Report:
 Total receipts in 1904-S281, 600; 1905-S994, ,623
 Ii is interesting to note that of this later figure, S43, l20 worth of liquor was included; quite an increase from the S1l,913 worth of wet goods unloaded in 1904

Manhunt for Ross
Ends; No Trace Found
In Maryland Area

The biggest manhunt in Mary
lands history wound up near Eli
colt City early today without pro-
ducing a trace of the whereabouts
of George Francis Ross, 27, Cali
fornia burglar and dope addict
wanted for the murder of q Cleve-
land policeman.
The search turned to adjoining
communities after 100 FBI agents
and more than 80 Maryland State
policemen spent two days and
nights beating through several
square miles of hilly undergrowth
and woodland into which Ross had
fled.
Leaders Of the search said they
were satisfied the small, dapper
knife-scarred fugitive had left the
area.
Throughout yesterday and the
day before, Washington and Balti-
more police were busy running
down reports that suspects had
been seen.
Caller Is Identified.
The most likely report came for
"a Baltimore housewife who told
police a motorist with an injured
hand had stopped in her home
Tuesday morning to telephone for
Ia mechanic because his car had
broken down.
Ross was believed injured in a
hot exchange of shots with two
policemen who surprised him
asleep in stolen car on the out
skirts of Ellicott City Monday
night.
Ross fled under fire and later
burglarized a filling station near
by. stealing a maroon jacket and
"a first-aid kit. The housewife
noticed the bandage and the fact
that her visitor was wearing a
maroon coat.
Both. the woman and garage
man who fixed the strangers car
later identified photographs of
Ross.
Fingerprints left by the visitor,
however, were not those of the
former convict, Baltimore police
said. A man later was found who
admitted he had called at the Bal
timore home. He had hurt his
hand in an accident.
More than a score of "tips" were
run down by Washington police
yesterday and last night. Some
caused considerable excitement in
the neighborhoods as squad cars
arrived with search parties, but
they turned up no suspects. One
man was detained briefly.
Escape on Train Hinted.
Police speculated that Ross
could have hoped a passing
freight train on a track in the
area, or caught ride on one of
several highways IN the Bdltlmore
suburban area.
When surprised, Ross left be-
hind him an automobile stolen in
a Cleveland suburb. He is wanted
there for the murder of Patrol
man Forney L. Hass on Sunday.
The officer was believed to have
gone with Ross to the latter's
rooming house to see his drivers
permit. Pvt. Hass was killed in
the house and his assailant fed.
Ross capture may be hastened
by the fact that he is a habitual
user of narcotics, police were
told, and can be expected to go
to almost any lengths to obtain
drugs.
Ross left behind him a blood
stained blanket and a f1ashlight.
He was identified by the FBI
through fingerprints on the
f1ashlight.
