THE spirit of service Which exists in the
operation of The Alaska Railroad, has
made our patrons our friends, and the safe
guarding and transportation of their ship
ments to stations on our line, to their entire
satisfaction is our ambition.
During the month of May the season of
river navigation will augment our rail serv
ice, and freight and passenger travel will
receive the benefit of our experience.
Trains will connect with all sailings on
the Tanana and Yukon Rivers.
Timetables, descriptive literature, etc.,
will be gladly furnished on request.

WESTWARD UNCLASSIFIED
The presence in Seward the other
day of Dr. T. Gilbert Pearson recall
ed to the memory of Prank Osborn
far Westward trapper, that 35 years
| ago a scientist from Boston named
Colby spent much time in his neigh
borhood in the Herendeen bay coun
try during which time he discovered
four birds which to this day have
never been classified.
“No.” when queried as to these
birds by the reporter, “their eggs
were not square nor did they fly
backwards or howl like a wolf, but
Mr. Colby stated at that time that
they were a species entirely un
i known. And there are other birds to
the Westward which have never been
classified, to my knowledge. These
birds greatly resemble a sparrow and
live entirely around swift flowing
streams. Not around them, but in
them. It is seldom that you see
them ashore but generally standing
in shallow places in rivers and
streams or hoping about from rock
to rock. And they sing like a night
; ingale.” *
i CITIES WILL DEBITE
I
FREDERICKSBURG, Va., Aug. 31
(JP)—Boston, a city steeped in Ameri
can tradition, will play the unique
role of host this fall to delegations
from Fredericksburg and Charleston,
S. C., in a debate as to whether the
Virginia or Carolina city is the right-!
ful owner of the title: “America’s
Most Historic City.”
Many believe the Massachusetts
city should make the debate a trian
gular affair, but whatever claims
Boston, St. Augustine or other his
toric cities may advance, Fredericks
burg and Charleston are determined
I to have their forensic battle.
