ALL NIGHT SERVICE
That Ketchikan may be given an
all-night telegraph service over the
military cable system, was the advice
given by Lieut. Colonel C.A.
Seoane, officer in charge of the lines,
who was in town on an inspection trip.
The need for an all-night service, the
congested condition on the wire in
summer-time especially and the general
run of business was brought to
the attention of Col. Seoane and he
agreed to go into the matter more fully upon his return to Seattle.
At the present time owing
business conditions here, it is believed
that the Ketchikan office is doing more business than any other office in Alaska, and it is done this
with less men than any of the larger
offices.
Col. Seoane has been in charge
of the cable system only a short
time, having recently succeeded Col.
B. O. Lenoir. He came north on the U.S. ship Burnside after making tour
through Northern waters visited a number of miles.
