“I shall never forget Seward and its good people,”
writes Senator Frank B. Willis, who visited in the city a
week ago, to Leon Urbach, local business man and presi
dent of the Seward Chamber of Commerce. Continuing
the Senator wrote; “I thank you and the Seward Cham
ber of Commerce for their many kindnesses shown me
and particularly for the beautiful clock which I very
gratefully appreciate.”
Seward boys are overlooking a chance to make an ex
tra piece of change these days since the Seward golf club
was formed. Caddies are needed badly on the links and
at a nominal charge for their sendees they should be able
to make a lot of Chrstmas money.
TIMELY ADVICE
Hunters are cautioned to be careful beginning Sep
tember 1 to be sure and know what they are shoot
ing at regardless of movements in the brush. As an
odtimer says, when you see the “whites of an animal's
eye,” that's the proper time to let go. Many casualities
occur by not taking sufficient precaution.
We see where Captain Billy Fawcett, publisher of
Whiz Bang, is coming to Seward. Here is a chance for
the Chamber of Commerce to hear some real stories. In
vite him to luncheon by all means.
& j CENTER OF INDUSTRY
Alaska is the center of the North Pacific whaling in
dustry
The sad part of it is the outfitting point is in the States.
Likewise the States are the outfitting point for the fishing,
fertilizer, and fish oil activities in the Territory.
In a normal year the Alaska canned salmon pack
would fill over 5,000 railroad cars-. .It is estimated it would
take a 13,000 ton staemer, with a capacity of about 15,000,
000 cans each trip, eight voyages to move the pack by sea,
and the same amount would require a train of box cars 12
miles long.
It is reported that all the children are tickled pink
now that the opening of school is but a few days away—
September 12.
It is reveale i a Sewardite has invented a new fang
led cuspidor for tobacco chewers which may be suspended
from a watch fob.
One of Seward’s new high school teachers, E. J. Bath,
certainly has a nice clean name.
A tinge of Fall permeates the air these days and it is
about that season of the year to give some thought to
the coal bin.
