ALASKA BUREAU
To Be Started By E. O. Sawyer, a
Portland Newspaper Man—Will
Locate At Seward.
One visit to Alaska tasted like
more to E. O. Sawyer, Jr., former
Northwest representative of the
Newspaper Enterprise Association,
who made a tour of Southwestern
Alaska in the interest of the rail
way bill last year, and he is back
again. This time he has his family
with him and will stay.
Mr. Sawyer will live in Seward,
where he intends to open an informa
tion bureau for the benefit of pros
pective settlers in all parts of Alas
ka.
“I am not going to exploit any sec
tion above another,’' says Sawyer.
“It is my intention to supply facts and
estimates of cost to people who want
to come north. Alaskans who have
not been outside since the railroad
has been under consideration have no
idea how much interest there is in
the territory. .
“Thousands of inquiries are being
received at the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce and that organization is
now preparing a new booklet giving
valuable information about Alaska in
general. Governor Strong told me
that he was kept busy answering peo
ple who are anxious to settle in the
north.”
