MAJOR MALCOLM ELLIOTT IS
COMPLETING EXTENSIVE
TOUR OF TERRITORY
After covering a wide expanse of
territory that has included much
of Interior Alaska. Major Malcolm
Elliott, president of the Alaska
Road Commission is expected in
Seward Saturday.
Major Elliott has been inspecting
many proposed road projects but
has moved in so many different
directions it has been a difficult
matter to keep track of his itiner
ary although it is reported that his
last important work of investiga
tion was over the season’s results
in McKinley Park and the proposed
work for the next summer. Local
business men are awaiting his ar
rival here with keen anticipation to
learn what, if any determination
has been reached regarding road
work tributary to Seward vitally
affecting the city’s future. It is
also expected that Major Elliott
will inspect the Lowell Creek flood
control projeet and may have
something to say regarding the
safety harbor proposition scheduled
to begin next spring. It is possible
ihat Major Gillette, engineer offi
cer of the Commission will be with
the president on his arrival here.

SEWARD MOOSE
GOES TO DETROIT
ZOOLOGICAL PARK
STEPHEN MELCHIOR TAKES PFT
OUTSIDE WHERE HE HAS
NOT BEEN FOR 35 YEARS
_
Going- Outside for the first time
in 35 years, Stephen Melchior will
read for Detroit Saturday and with
him will go Seward’s famous moose
that has been an interesting object
for many travelers. The moose
goes to the Detroit zoological park
at Royal Oaks. Mr. Melchior cap
tured the animal over three years
ago on an island below his mining
ground on Kenai River. It was
then a youngster weighing only 17
pounds, its mother having been
killed by a bear. When found, the
;’'aby moose was on its last spindly
[legs but it was revived with a bot
t!-’ milk and has since grown to
huge roportions.
‘ Sue will be transported in a
crate,” said Melchior, “and I have
been feeding her in the crate so
that she has already learned to go
hi ahd out without fear.” The De
triot park authorities desire the
animal for breeding purposes, it is
understood.
Melchior looks forward to a re
view of conditions in the big cities
of the Outside which he has not
been for so many years but will
have his hands full with the care
[of his charge until he makes deliv
! ery at Henry Ford’s town.

Radio Men Like
Seward As Possible
Future Residence
“I am anxious to get back to Al
aska as a permanent residence and
probably will be here within anoth
er 12 months,” said W. C. Boston,
"adio operator on the S. S. Watson,
in port yesterday. He was former
ly with the Washington Alaska
Cable and worked at Valdez, Fair
banks and Tanana. He said, how
ever that he was impressed with
the prosperous spirit of Seward and
would seek to be located here.
‘‘This town looks good to me,” he
declared, “because it surely has a
future. I will go on the South run
with the Watson and will later be
transferred to the airmail. I plan
to come back North next year for
a permanent berth.” Bob Beery,
chief radio operator of the Watson,
is said to have expressed the same
sentiments, although he was not
’nterviewed.
Round World Hopper
Away From Paris
There is still a question whether
George H. Storck will land an air
plane in Seward on a round-the
world tour.
First intimation of hs plans!
came thru a shipment of special \
lubricating oil to the care of Wayne i
Blue of the Pacfic Steamship Co., i
with instructions that the oil be
held for Storck who planned a
world flight.
Upon inquiry from the Associated j
Press, the Seward Gateway was in- ;
formed that Storck is a Seattle
business man who plahned to cir- |
cie the world by air, but that after
starting from London recently he
crashed at Paris. Apparently he
was not injured but his further
plans are unknown. In the mean
tme Mr. Blue is the custodian of a
case of oil.

Mild enough for anybody
. . . and yet they Satisfy*
★ A PLAIN, unvarnished statement of fact:
J\, "Mild enough for anybody and yet
they satisfy”.
If you will light a Chesterfield and
smoke it critically you will find no hint of
harshness, but a certain mildness, with a
rich, wholesome flavor.
Chesterfields satisfy without being
harsh. They’re mild without being insipid
or tasteless.
