i FROM SEWARD TO MATANUSKA
-
The proprietor of the Seward Dairy,
Mr. Adlem&n has the finest strain of
Jersey cows in Alaska. This fact is not.
generally known by his many custom
ers, but they do know that the milk
and cream he delivers daily is of the
highest quality. Last Wednesday night
the Gateway Limited brought to Sew
ard among the many passengers, H. J.
Swanson, a fanner and dairyman of
the Some-time- going- to- be, coal dis
trict of Alaska. Mr. Swanson came to
the conclusion recently that Matanus
ka and the Swanson farm in particul
ar needed some first class dairy stock.
He decided to act at once. He mushed
to the railroad, took the train to An
chorage, continued his journey to Sew
ard and upon his arrival secured a
broom and settled down to wait for the
S S. Northwestern, oi* which he had
decided to journey to the Land- of -
many cows. While waiting he did some
reading and among the magazines and
papers which he read was a copy of
the So ward Gateway. On one of the
pages he saw the advertisement of
the Seward Dairy. It interested him.
He investigated. He met Mr. Adelman.
H* visited the ranch and ». jested the
herd, with the result that when this
morning's train pulled out for Anchor*
age Mr. Swanson was occupying a
seat in one of the coaches and two of
die finest Jersey cows in Alaska were
contentedly eating hay in the front
end of a freight car. These two cows
weep part of dip. Adlfmaa heard of
Mr. Swanson was saved a lengthy
Mid expensive trip because the pro
prietor of the Seward dairy was able
t-» deliver the goods. The majority of
persons in Seward fail to realise what
it means to have a high class dairy
in Alaska. Very few of us realise just
what Mr. Adelman has had to contend
with while engaged in building up the
Seward Jersey Dairy Not very many
months ago a government inspector of
cows saw fit to condemn the entire
herd belonging to Mr. Adleman. One
of these traveling bureaucratic ap
pointees who are compelled to make
some kind of a showing to enable them
to hold down their unnecessary jobs
came to Seward, looked at the herd of
cows and decided that the cows should
be murdered. They we/e. Mr. Adleman
| was not reimbursed at the time. He
has failed to receive any re-imburse
; ment to date. Instead of becoming dis
couraged and quitting, he journeyed
to the states and secured the makings
of another herd. He brought them to
Seward. Today that Herd is second, to
none in Alaska. The mere fact that an
experienced farmer and dairyman like
Mr. Swanson decided that it was un
necessary to journey further in quest
of the stock he desired proves beyond
a question of doubt that the stock of
the Seward Dairy is high class. Some
' day Mr. Adleman may receive re-im
bursement from the Government for
the cows that were condemned. He
should receive it and those who have
the power to secure him this re imbur
sement should utilize it at once. In the
meantime the Seward Dairy continues
to grow. The surplus young stock is be
ing shipped to different places along
the right of way of the railroad. New
herds are being formed and dairy
farming is taking its place among suc
cessful enterprises of'the Territory.

ard forge ahead you should attend this
meeting and help with the plans that
are now being formulated to give Sew
ard a first class high school course.
Mr. Henderson is in a position to do a
; great deal for us and he will dp it if
we will just show him that we are sin
cerely interested in having a complete
high school course for Seward. With
the installing of such a course our
i
young men and women will have edu
cation facilities equal to those found
, i
in any high school in the states 6r oth
er towns in Alaska, and it will not be
necessary for a single one of them to
leave Seward for additional education,
joiIms they ate anfctelJattag » coU
The installing of the course and the
engagement of additional teachers is
something that should interest every
business in Seward. It means
more people for. Seward and more peo
ple mean more business and more bus
iness ro**"* increased prosperity in all
lisas. Every business man in Seward
^ia urged to be present at tomorrow's
meeting. At the present time Seward
Kng four of the best teachers in Alas
ka. There are no better in the States.
Each every one of them is
thoroughly familiar with all of the
courses and subjects that they teach.

children. Each and every one of them

Never has Seward had higher grade
teachers. Just what the addition of two
or maybe three more teachers of the

Nash, Miss Schwarz and Miss Triplett
will mean to Seward, mere words can
not express. Schools are necessary and
wonderful assets to any town or city
