COLONEL STEESE INFORMS SEW
ARD CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
OF PLANS
Writing to the Seward Chamber of ;
Commerce, Col. J. G. Steese outlines I
the plans with respect to harbor sur-!
veys to the Westward as follows:
“The River and Harbor act approved
January 21. 1927, provides for a pre
liminary examination of Portage Bay,
Alaska, and adjacent bays, with a view'
to provide a practicable harbor ac
cessible to the Cold Bay oil fields, with
a view" to its improvement by the Fed
eral government in the interests of
navigation. The duty of making this
examination and report has been as
signed to this office.
“For consideration in connection
with the examination and report, it is
desired to obtain the views of those
interested in the improvement as to
what work should be done and what
effect the work proposed will have on
existing prospective commerce.
PAGEANT ON MAY 1
It was thought best, Superintend,
ent Hatten of the Jesse Lee Home,
said this morning, to postpone the
Easter Pageant until May 1., owing
to the condition of those who are to
take part in the program. All are
recovering from their recent illness
but slowly.
Arrivals from Anchorage last night
report many men in the mechanical
department of the Alaska Railroad
have been and are being laid off
temporarily.
“It is understood that you are in
terested in this improvement. I shall
appreciate, therefore, any information
that you can give. If found to be de
sirable and practicable, a public hear
ing will be held later to develop the
situation further.
“No construction work has been au
thorized. Future action by Congress
will await receipt of the examination
and report now under consideration.
“Very truly yours,
“J. G. STEESE,
“District Engineer.
Don’t miss the snow tonight.

This
modem age
discriminates
-and smokes
Camels
THIS age is the hardest to satisfy—
it’s the most discriminating age ever
known. That’s why it goes to Camel
for cigarette enjoyment. It takes real
tobacco to satisfy modern smokers and
Camels are made of the choices: to
baccos grown, marvelously blended.
Smokers of today are right in demand
ing Camels; no better cigarettes are
made, regardless of price.
To seek a real smoke is to find
Camel——the choice of the modern
world. Camels are a revelation of
goodness, always mellow, smooth and
mild. This age shows the way to
smoke contentment—
"Have a Camel!"
