FUND FOR THE PUBLICITY
OF S YARD IS TO
BE RAISED
Publicity for Seward, a publicity which will be far
reaching, was the paramount issue discussed at the Sew
ard Chamber of Commerce meeting last night. The meet
ing was specially called for the discussion of important af
fairs and was well attended by most representative busi
ness men of the city. A general manner ol the way to ob
tain publicity which would insure that of a permanent
character was ably discussed, with the result that Presi
dent Sloan was instructed to appoint a committee to so
licit and ascertain how much of a fund could be raised.
This motion was passed unanimously. President Sloan,
just before the adjournment of the special session, an
nounced that a committee would be appointed today. The
committee will report back at a meeting of the Chamber,
which will be called perhaps within a few days.
Other important matters were discussed with satis
factory speed and settlement, development which will
have much to do with the progress and prosperity of Sew
ard.
This afternoon President Sloan named H. S. Balder
ston and Erich Lucas as the soliciting committee.
SATISFAt TORY PROGRESS
IS REPORTED MADE
ON Tl RNAGAIN ARM
The eight contractors working be
tween Miles 84 and Sf* in the l urn
again Arm division, are making satis
factory progress, despite the fact that
clay and gravel formation over slate
has been encountered, which material
is difficult to handle, especially during
the prevailing wet weather, according
to the R. R. Report.
The steam shovel working at Camp
Mi made 100 feet of distance one day,
casting over 1000 cubic yards, 75 per
cent of which material was compact
clay and gravel. The piled? iver at
Bird Creek has completed driving the
north approach of the ci*ossing and
has about 50 per cent of the piling of j
the north abutment driven. The steam
shovel at Indian creek is working in
the cut south of that point and the
material is being hauled into fills to
the south toward Bird Creek. Four
hundred feet of fill, from Station 2051
to Station 2055, were completed dur-|
ing the week. Camp 89, north of In
dian Creek, is completed and the Com- i
mission force has started grading.
The following grading contractors
finished their assignments: Chas.
Skoglund & Co., Mile 91; Tom Kovac
& Co., Mile 97; C. F. Anny & Co.. Mile,
99.
Every effort is being made to com- j
plete the Commission work at Camp
98, as it is the controlling point be
tween Miles 98 and 91. Three eight
hour shifts are being worked on the
south end.
The grade is now ready for track
laying between Miles 98 and 101.

, small children.
_
HOUSES ARE SHIPPED

Approximately 200 head of horses
which were used during this season on

the north for winter construction and
freighting service, and when activities
resume next spring to ship the horses
back to Alaska, as needed.
CONGRESS WILL BE
ADJOURNED DURING
THE PRESENT WEEK
WASHINGTON, Oct. G, (Delayed)

A Through Ticket
Via
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. PaulRy.
WHY
By buying a through ticket you save from $10.00 to
$15.00 as against buying to Seattle and re-buying
there.
By buying over the C., M. & St. P. Ry. you are as
sured the comfort that comes from riding behind an
electric locomotive — the most powerful in all the
world—and that personal attention which is a fea
ture of “Milwaukee’' service.

consult your nearest Steamship Agent.
