SEWARD, THE GATEWAY
For the utmost ultimate good, Seward citizens
must swing their minds on a swivel, or a hair-trigger.
In fact they’ve got to look at right angles, and consider
themselves two gateways instead of one.
It has been the habit to look straight north a thou
sand miles along the. Alaska Railroad and beyond say,
“We are the gateway to this vast territory.” Now
it will become a necessity, thrust upon us in spite of our
forgetfulness, to look to the west and exclaim, “Ah Ha,
here is another great highway leading to our gate!”
From this day forth the Westward will evermore
insist upon its greatness, its beauty, its wealth, its pos
sibilities, its opportunities.
It is a land apart a different people as known to
the flood of tourists that pour through central Alaska
but thefe are intelligent men living there who would
not trade their opportunities for thrice what could be
offered in other parts of Alaska.
The Westward is Alaska’s Cotton Belt- It streches
far out into the middle of the Pacific, bathed by warm
er waters and warmer airs where vegitation runs riot
and the bees and birds and flowers make merry in the
woods-. It is verily a land of promise, rich^ in every
thing that God has seen fit to bestow upon this earth.
And Seward is the gateway to all this, too.
Although we admit that they are some of the
outstanding points of the country, why talk about
mountains all the time and glaciers when discussing
Alaska? Try for a change to think of long meadows
studded. with, flowers and leages upon leagues of level
and rolling vistas where the lush grasses grow as high
as your head, waiting for the scythe of the reaper.
Bosco, the circus freak, ate glass, pins, nails and
other tid-bits for years without ill effects. But a pint
of bootleg put him in the hospital
Its a darn poor man who would begrudge a poor
little fly or a mosquito a bite to eat.
