A PEDDLER’S FORTUNE
_
There is a striking “success story’ in the career of
Joseph Abraham* who landed in New York in 1896, an im
migrant from Syria with $10.50 in his pocket. He died
in Bristow, Okla., recently a multimillionaire.
Abraham invested his original capital in merchandise
which he peddled from house to house, first in the east
and later in Oklahoma. Within three or four years he
>vas able to open a store, which prospered greatly. He
also acquired 11 cotton gins and a cotton seed oil* mill.
Through industry and thrift he buildup a great fortune.J
• A few years ago he returned to Syria on a visit and
endowed a school for boys and girls in his native city,
Adoon. He was a friend of the press, and in 1924 he en
tertained the National Editorial Association at a dinner
at the tour of the editors after their convention in Okla
homa City.
, When he died, two daughters* who had been in school
in tLos Angeles, returned to Oklahoma for his funeral,
covering most of the distance by airplane.
1 There is a valuable lesson for the shiftless and im
provident in the story of this immigrant who began to
clirtib the ladder of success with a peddler’s pack on his
back.
£ The Alaskan choking to death in Seattle eating a
pieee of beefsteak serves as a lesson to old-timers to be
careful what they eat Outside. Not that Alaskans eat
mocassins, or anything like that, but after living on the
fat of the Territory for years it’s tough to take what they
hand you down there.
What's in a name? Well, we note where the alleged
parents of the girl who will go thru with a companionate
marriage plan to move to Freeport. In other words any
old port in a storm.
We wonder if the Seward-Sawbuck catalogues were
saved in the Northwestern mail?.

ANCHORAGE HIGH SCHOOL BOYS

A telegram was received yesterday
from the Fairbanks City team stat
ing that they will be in Seward on
Saturday and Sunday.
In order to give them as many
games possible an additional double
header has been arranged for Sunday
afternoon in which Anchorage high
school will play the final game with
Seward high school and Fairbanks
will play with either the S. A. C. or
the Army team.
No financial guarantee has been
given the Fairbanks team but it is
hoped, due to their splendid spirit of
sportsmanship, that sufficient re
ceipts will be taken in to at least
cover their expenses from Anchor
age where they are playing a series
of games next week.
Accordingly, the schedule of games
has been somewhat changed but a t
glance at the following schedule will'"
show that Seward fans will see plen
ty of basketball in the next few days.
On Thursday and Sunday two out
of-towrn teams will appear on the
same bill with no raise in prices. Ad
mission at all games will be 25 and
50 cents.

Somewhat Handicapped
The people of Sew'ard will have the
opportunity to see their pride and
joy, the local high school boys, in ac
tion for the* third time this year
when they meet the Anchorage high
school boys tomorrow night, Thurs
day. Even though the local boys will
be somewhat handicapped on account
of their size they are going out with
the determination to win as this
alone does not spell defeat. ,
In two practice games with the
Army the high school has shown a
marked improvement in team work
and no doubt the team taking the
floor Thursday night will be a
smoother working machine than the
one in the two previous games.
Anchorage has perhaps one of the
strongest teams in the Territory. Led
by George Valaer and Tom Ek both
of whom are playing their fourth
year on the teams the Anchorage
high school has one of the strongest
line-ups in it’s history. Me Kinnon
is another veteran, fast and an excel
lent shot. Jack Sullivan, 200 pound
center, adds plenty of beef to the
team. Seward will be greatly out
weighed probably 15 or 20 pounds
per man but w'atch their smoke.
SEWARD H. S.
The Seward team will be picked
from the following players; Francis
Leslie, Ray Manthey, Guy Manthey,
Don Shellhorn, Sam Estes, Howard
Hayes, Jack Rosness and Otto Sand
beck.
ANCHORAGE H. S.
Me. Kinnon and Valaer, forwards; J.
