The Cordova Daily Times All-Alas
ka Review Section for 1927 Is off the
press and a copy has been received
by The Gateway. The special number
totals 72 pages, 12 pages more than
The Gateway’s Prosperity Edition,
and includes 12 pages of rotogravure.
The Times may rightly say it is un
doubtedly the most complete report
on the industrial, commercial, scenic,
mineral and social resources of the
Territory that has ever been publish
ed.
An entire page, with photographs
of Seward, occupies one of the first
pages of the edition. The article and
pictures were supplied the Times by
the Seward Chamber of Commerce.

Indians attribute the ill-luck en
countered on the voyage South from
Nome of the M. S. Donaldson, to the
cargo of human skulls on board which
are enroute to the Smithsonian Insti

thing from native graves.
lutrate the edition. The task of print
ing such an edition entails so much
detail which only the layman may un
derstand. And it is this .respect the j
staff, mechanical and editorial, are
to be congratulated. Those in Seward
who have received copies, are loud in
(-heir praise of this noteworthy edition
and the skill of the craftmanship in
It.
The Times says that as a means
| of advertising the Territory and ob
taining proper publicity to the en
| terprises and resources, a complimen
tary copy has been sent to every
member of the Senate and Congress.
The edition is selling for 35 cents
a copy but is really worth 10 times
that.
