Seward is losing a tremendous amount of publicity;
throughout the nation because no airplane activities cen
ter here. We have one of the best fields in the Territory
but to date not a plane has used it. It*s about time con
certed action was taken to have a plane operating out of
Seward.
We see by the papers where Seattle, and San Francis
co are still scrapping over the claim of being the pivot
city from whence the Alaska and Klondike gold rushes
started.
Seattle claims to be the gateway to Alaska. Well,
Seward claims to be the gateway to Interior Alaska. What
do you think of that!
