SEWARD’S HOST
Yesterday was a great day for Sewardites; a very
happy and enjoyable day, and thanks are in order to
those responsible for the success of the Alaska Railroad
picnic to Lawing to which point a large number of lit
tle ones and grown-ups gathered and fittingly celebra
ted the day in a clean wholesome manner.
Such an event makes a fine opportunity for one to
recreate and enjoy some of the real and natural pleas
ures of life; a better opportunity to become acquainted
with one’s fellowman, eliminating for a day. at least
petty larceny worries and back-biting, and making for
greater cooperation between citizens in common affairs.
Considerable credit for the success of the picnic is
due to the untiring efforts of the Queen of Hostesses,
Nellie Neal Lawing, also to the Alaska Railroad which
provided transportation at a nominal fee.
Sids Olds, the mighty guide and hunter, and also
stockraiser on Kodiak, went out last week and found a
big bruin raising havoc among a bunch of his cattle. For
tunately he got Mr. Bear before he had done much dam
age but it all goes to show that the bear is certainly not
a killer.
An exchange tells of a man who “lay in a state
of comma for eight days.” But wouldn’t that be a per
iod?
Referring to the bureaus of Alaska there is an old
proverb about too many cooks spoiling the broth.
Mr. Wickersham’s remarks about enforcement have
evoked almost as much discussion as the famous phrase,
“I do not choose to run.”
The man who named them “Bureaus” knew his
onions. Both varieties have numerous drawers-the
latter principaly salaries.
Russia may be misunderstood by the rest of the
world but there is no surer way to become friendly than
to fly into the hearts of their fellow men

OELIEHTFUL HOLIIY
KE1ILSS5E LODGE
I One of the most enjoyable of ,
excursions to Kenai Lake occur
red yesterday when about 60 or 70
I townspeople took advantage of j
| the special fare rate and spent
i the entire day at Lawing’s Lodge j
' on the lake.
A number of people went berry
picking, for cranberries and blue
berries are quite plentiful all j
around the vicinity of the lodge,
I and from the number of blue- ;
stained mouths, it is suspected j
that most of the little travelers i
j ate their berries on the spot, so
! tempting were the large and lus- \
cious berries. Fishing in near-by
streams drew many devotees of
the reknowned Isaac Walton, also,
i
and the merry fishermen return
ed tired but happy, even if their j
baskets were not filled quite as
much as they had wished. i
i The famous trophy-room held j
the interest of many, as well asi
the stories relative to its. con
tents as related by Nellie Neal
Lawing while the hospitality and
“open-house” extended to all by
the host and hostess made every- ,
one feel at ease and at home. j
The ready hands of. Mrs. Law-1
ing prepared the meals (for which j
she is famous) at any time of the |
day and it needed no second call
to draw the hungry hordes to her j
tables when she call “eats”! And
I especially did the “cave-men” do
justice to the eats after their hot- j
! ly-contsted game of horse-shoes.;.
! (Yes even the women tackled the j
■game too!)
Such a pleasant outing did the ;
I day prove that everyone was re- j
! luctant to leave; it is hoped that
the courtesy of the railroad and
the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs.
Lawing may be extended in like
manner many times more.
i RETURNS FROM INTERIOR
Miss Patricia Tromp, teacher
during te last term of Seward j
high school, returned last j
| night frm a very enjoyable va-1
' cation spent in various sections i
of the Interior. Among the places;
at which she spent several days j
each were Circle City, Hot Springs |
and Fairbanks, and the weather, j
Miss Tromp said, was all that
one could wish. She will depart
on one of the next steamers on
her way to the States.
