STU PRESSING CLUB IS
II DEW LOCAL BUSINESS
Seward's latest business establish
ment is the Star Pressing Club which
was opened up a few days ago by
William Sledge, recently of San
Francisco. “Ever since I was a
kid I have been in the pressing busi
ness,” he said last evening, “and
particularly I have trained in the
care of women’s clothing, as well as
men’s.
His quarters are those recently
vacated by the O. K. Barber shop
next door to the Overland hotel. Mr.
Sledge has also fitted up a shoe
shining parlor in connnection.
Mr. Sledge is a colored gentleman
from south of the Mason-Dixie line
and like all chaps who hail from
down “thet-a-way” is an entertain
er and, shortly, he anticipates putt
ing on a dancing sketch. “Shure,
I’se kin sing too,” he exclaimed,
“but I just naturally evade that part
of the program if I can.”

'The North Coast Limited”, a
i
name to conjure with!
In the last mail from Seattle K. K. j
Katz, passenger represenlative for
the Northern Pacific Railway, who
annually makes a trip through the
Territory in the interests of the pro
gressive railway company. twro hand
some i’lustrated folders have been
received by many local business
houses and residents,.
“To Alaska via Seattle Gateway” is
the caption on the front page of one
of them and then follows page after
page of genuine publicity for Alaska
in which is described summer jour
neys to the Territory. The pictures
are great!
The other booklet describes the
last word in travel luxury, “North
Coast Limited.” So vividly in fact
that one’s feet begin to itch with
the wanderlust. Car by car is sub
mitted for the public’s approval.
ANDRESEN AND HIS DOG
Again Seward steps to the front as |
the fashion centre of Alaska. This j
time Clark Andresen. manager of |
the Brown & Hawkins hardware de
partment, plays the leading role. He
has revived the ancient fad of taking!
the air with his blue ribbon English j
j bull dog Bobby on a leash. It’s a j
great sight to see a handsome young!
!“guy” like Mr. Andresen waltzing
i i
jdown the avenue with his ferocious,
llooking dog. He is the connoisseur'
I
of all eyes.
STEAM SCHOONER EN ROUTE
The steam schooner H. W. Baxter
is en route to Iokatan from Seattle
with a cargo of lumber and trap j
piling for fishing and cannery opera- j
tions. The schooner loaded 400 tons j
I
of coal at Nanaimo and took on the j
lumber cargo at Everett. It is not j
known whether the vessel will make
a stop at this port.
