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.

SPIRIT OF ITS CITIZENS
' EXCELLENT, 1 MIG
!i Applause greeted the announcement
Int yesterdays Chamber of Commerce
| luncheon and business meeting that
^^jDi. Roinig, noted Alaska physician
_|an(J surgeon, was to address the
... I gathering. As President Urbach re
• i maiked, Dr. Rorffig has been residing
i , at various points on the Alaska Rail
i I road for some years past, but due to
, | the fact that he was for many years
[ J one of Seward’s most prominent citi
{ zeils> also that many of his business
| i interests are here, Sewardites will
j | ever call him one.
11 “I am glad to be here and I am
i j also glad that you had a luncheon and
i meeting today so that I could meet
J | jou business men of Seward w’ho are
JI constantly on the watch. First of all
J:I wish to compliment-you on your
i ; Excellent newspaper. It is a wonder
i j ful asset to the community and cer
J 11 a inly must be appreciated. In my
J opinion, and in the opinion I have
i heard expressed elsewhere, the Sew
11 ard Gateway is the best paper in Alas
> | ka.
I
I
“I want to take this opportunity of 1
mentioning my appreciation of the as-!
sistance of Dr. Neilson in these 'local
cases. You should see him work
under fire. I hope that he decides to
come back again sometime for he is
i ‘all wool and a yard wide’.
J ! “I notice many changes for the bet
J j ter in Seward and everything w'ears a
j : prosperous look. You folks should
j keep after trying to get a hospital for
— : there is no reason why you should be
j paying tribute to some other town.
J | You need an institution of this sort
i i badly and ffom the standpoint of
i | business thousands of dollars now'
i flowing out of town will remain here.
J Good schools, churches, and hospitals
J ! are three of the most vital elements
J j in the up building of a town or cum
»; munity. In my opinion if you build
i 'ji new school on the proposed site, i
i an excellent location, I would sug-;
[ gest you turn the present school house :
[ into a hospital. It w'ould be bet- j
[ | ter location than the one on the creek.
J “The growth of aviation in the In
_ terior has been enormous and w'here
companies started under difficult cir
cumstances, financial and otherwise,
the business is steadily increasing to
that point to where now it is on the
solid footing and a paying investment.
; Though the coast towms are not so
well geographically situated for the
need of air traffic, as in the Interior,
yet there are many opportunities here.
In Fairbanks every week patients are
| arriving, via air, from outlying dis
1 tricts. And aside from the many pas
j sengers being constantly carried to
| and fro, a large freight business is
j done.
| “Seward, as a whole, looks splendid
j and the spirit of the people here
| seems to be better than elsewhere.
The big activities in the Interior are
bound to help Seward and during the
past fewT years the Interior has seen -
marked increase in substantial busi- -
ness. Seward, in my estimation, has
a fine future, and many things are
bound to come. In ending, I wish
i again to say, I am certainly pleased
to be here with you today.”
