CAME IP HERE EARLY
TO AVOID THE RUSH
H. H. Hicks Says Seward Will See
Big Influx of Immigration
Very Soon.
"There will be a big rush to Seward
i! the spring.” said Tl. IT. Hicks, who
came up on the Bertha, ’’ and I want
to ‘Tet in ahead of the rush and have
r*
i itne to look around.”
Mr. Hicks has lived in Alaska eleven
wars. For four years be was a post
trailer and copper miner at llliatuna.
and when be sold out two months ago
it was with the intention of coming to
Seward in the spring to go into busi
Ho did not think there would be
■nnehdoingjhere through the winter so
decided to spend a few months on
tlie Sound. He went to 1 acoma ;ind in
.•ss than sixty days decided to come
..•1 at once to Seward. Why he did so
he explains:
•• 1 didn’t like Tacoma very well and
while I was there and in Seattle 1 dis
c >verod that Seward is getting a lot of j
advertising^hat is going to make it j
hum next year. I look for a big rush ■
early in the spring and I thought it
would he a good thing to start ahead j
if tie procession. It is surprising;
how much talk can he heard on the;
Sound about Seward. So far as I j
could learn it is attracting more atten
tion just now thfln all the rest of:
Alaska. That is one reason 1 hurried j
hack. I was afraid i might miss,
something.”
Mr. Hicks brought lumber with him |
t ihuild a house for a residence. He
! as bought a lot on Second avenue j
near Howell creek and will erect a
house as soon as lie can get it done.
As soon as he can settle upon a loca-1
iion he will buy a business lot ami .
erect a large block upon it.
