SEW A RD, AL ASK A. TUESDAY, JUNE S, 1915.
Seward, the terminal of the government railroad, is the most beautiful
place in Alaska naturally. It is also now the best advertised part of the
whole territory. The last mentioned consideration ought to attract a vast
number of tourist;- this way during the summer ami the first mentioned fact
ought to be constantly dinned into the ears of the people all over the United
States.
All of us should forever continue to speak of Seward, its beauty, its fish
ing. its hunting. Millions of dollars are spent annually in places which have
none of the attractive qualities of this place in anything like the same degree.
The only difference is that they advertise their attractions and Seward re
mains dormant. Seward is like the fish that stands in one place with its
mouth open to catch whatever flies might come its way. Other towns with
something to offer tourists are like the fish that keeps going and takes in
large territory and a proportionately large number of grub.
Today the whole United States knows something about Seward. It
knows that it is the chosen terminal of the great Alaska government railroad
but also it probably pictures Seward as a little mining camp on some bleak,
forbidding shore from which glaciers arise and over which blizzards rage
on the Fourth of July.
The fjords of Norway have nothing that surpasses the fjords of the
Alaska coast but the fjords of Norway have thousands and thousands of
tourists visiting them each and every year.
If the real truth about Seward and its landlocked bay. its lakes, rivers,
woods and mountains could only be spread broadcast in conjunction with the
advertising that the place has received by its choice as terminal we might
have a greater and more profitable rush than the railroad itself would bring.

Baseball Team of New City Will

That the baseball team of Anchor
age will come to Seward on the
Fourth of July to play the home team

The Anchorage Base Ball team will
come to Seward July 4 if Seward will
pay expenses. Can charter launch

ANCHORAGE BEATS
KNIk AT BASEBALL.
New City Has Already Made Its Rep
and Secured Title to
Recognition.
The city of Anchorage proved its
existence and its right to recognition
last Saturday when it began its base
ball career by licking the Knik team
in the tirst game of baseball between
the two cities. The quality of the
first game can be judged by the score
which was 22 to 11 in favor of the
Chechackoes. After the game a sup
per and dance wore enjoyed and all
made merry. It is expected in the
Cook Inlet towns that some good ball
teams will soon be in existence and
talk of forming an Alaskan league is
going the rounds.
WAREHOUSE FOR ANCHORAGE.
H. T. Fowler of the Pacific Grocery
company, of Everett, Washington,
passed through on the Alameda from
Anchorage. He intends to put in a
branch warehouse there next month.

VALDEZ, May 30.—The Tillicum
Club, the aristocratic club associated
with the growth of the town ,no long
er is selling liquor, but only soft
drinks.
The decision of the circuit court at
San Francisco deciding that clubs in
Alaska must take out licenses the
sumo as barrooms, is responsible for
the departure of the policy of the club
followed since its inception.—(Ex.)
