OPPORTUNITY AWAITS SEWARD

S. Postal department stating Alaska airplane companies
are making a lot of money it would seem some aviator
or company would look over the Seward-Westward sit
uation.

Seward as a whole welcomes the Anchorage High
School basketball team and extends to them good wish
es.
The Presidential campaign cost more than $8,000,
000. Which proves that some of our industries make as
much out of an election as they would out of war.
