SEWARD WILL BE JUMPING OFF
PLACE FOR HUNTS “THREE
DISTRICTS
Regarding the recent visit in Sew
ard of Gus Gelles, secretary-treasur
er of the Alaska Guides Incorporated,
Mr. Gelles iniformed The Gateway
a number of Seward business people
are taking an active interest in the!
project and considering the time of
year the results obtained by him were
encouraging. Those who did not
sign on the dotted line have promised
to do so before long. Mr. Gelles said
it was his firm conviction that the
Alaska Glacier Tours and their sub
sidiary company, the Alaska Guides
Incorporated, will prove to be one of
the main assets of Seward.
The people of Seward perhaps do
not realize the great amount of money
put into circulation by sportsmen, he
added. To illustrate his remark he
said the 22 people handled last year
spent about $50,000 along the railroad
belt. From year to year these amounts
will increase.
In Eastern Canada last year, he
pointed out, $3,00,000 was spent by
non-resident hunters and while Mr.
Gelles said he did not expect to be
in that class for many years, yet it
is not impossible that within a few
years Seward should be the Gateway
for at least $50,000 of such business
and a good part of it will ‘remain in
fhe community.

The forthcoming folder o^ the com
pany will announce, Mr. Gelles said,
that they have abandoned Cook Inlet
and that all hunting parties for the
Kenai Peninsula will be handled from
Seward.
Parties will be taken over the Ke
nai-Seward highway to Lake Kenai
where they will transfer to a boat
(that will be under construction in the
near future) and make the trip down
Kenai lake, through Kenai river, to
the company’s base on Skilak lake,
all in one day. From Skilak lake the
hunters will leave the following
morning via pack-train.
Early next spring the Kenai river
will be cleared of bad rocks that in
terfere with navigation. Andrew
Simons will superintend this work,
jit is the aim of the company that
! when anyone mentions the Kenai,
lit will immediately be identified
| with Seward, Mr. Gelles declared.
I Kodiak Island and the Alaska Pen
insula will also be handled from Sew
ard while the Chickaloon, Nelchina,
Matanuska and Rainy Pass country
will be operated from Anchorage.
At least 5,000 folders have . been
mailed to all parts of the world in
the past three weeks and a like num
