appear on Saturday, February 26, and thereafter
will be published but ones week, issuing every Sat
urday at noon, in#an eignt-page, six-column form.
We do this with the! idea paramount that a
good weekly is better thah a poor daily, and at the

rant its publishers in continuing to print a daily is
sue at a loss.
We believe the people of Seward will be in ac
cord with this idea. We 'will issue a weekly paper
tnat will be first class in every respect* One that
will be the equal of any paper in the territory. We
are confident of the support of the business men of
this community in making this move.
In entering the weekly field we expect to cove’ j
a great deal more territory than has been the case
with the daily, thus maktig the paper better, from
an advertising standpoint than it has ever been be
fore, and with the co-opfration of our present ad
vertisers we will give |dl people of Seward a paper
that they may well bepj^ud of*

telegraph up until noon Saturday, together with the
social and business doings <^f this locality, in addi
tion to which we will have a general review of terri
torial happenings and news of interest to Alaskans.
Our subscription charge, of course, will be low
er for the weekly than it has been for the daily. Fif
ty cents per month will bring the Seward Weekly
to your door. If you are not now a subscriber don t
