SPLENDID DECEPTION
IT DINNER IN HONOR
1. IND MRS. LICK
At least 40 citizens of Seward and ]
visitors in the city took occasion to I
welcome back to Alaska Mr. and Mrs.
Normag Lack, the guests of honor,
who returned yesterday from the
South. President^Lcon Urbach, of the
Chamber of Commerce, officially ex
tended welcome to them in behalf
| 1
of the Chamber body and business i
people of Seward. In closing his wel- j
coming address he assured Mr. Lack <
of the support of the Seward Cham
ber of Commerce to the Alaska Rail
road. (
In responding^ Mr. Lack, assistant
to General Manager Noel W. Smith,
expressed his appreciation of the |
dinner to Mrs. Lack and himself but ■
felt the Chamber should have wait- *
ed another few months for the ar- <
rival of Mr. Smith. He described in
terestingly conditions as he found
them Outside dwelling in particular j
on the vast amount of publicity, good
and some not so good, it is recelv- •
ing throughout the States. f
The coming year promises to be
very good indications point, he said,
overand he has learned that already (
the Alaska Steamship company had
over 900 reservations booked for 1928 ,
• (
tourists. Mr. Lack did not comment
on any subject connected with the ,
Alaska Railroad proper.
Milo Kelly, an Alaskan of 30 years
standing^ spoke briefly saying he was
very happy to be hack once again.
He proposes to pick up a few sam
ples of birehwood, he added, for his
company.
Superintendent Hatten of the Jes
se Lee Home, was then called upon
for a few remarks. He chose as his
subject, cooperation, the keynote of
success; this should be played upon
and .stressed in every undertaking.
Summing up he said whereever
went it should be made their purpose ]
to correct the erroneous ideas that
are prevalent in the States regarding
Alaska. Alaskans must present
united front as to the real needs of
the Territory so that Congress may
act accordingly. The Alaska Railroad
officials .see this clearly, he added,
and are working along that iine.
J. Imlach, whose wife recently un
derwent an operation in Seward, ar
rived from Latouche yesterday to vis
it Mrs. Imlach who is well on the road
to recovery. o *
Mrs. S. E. Raynor, wife of the man.
ager of the Anchorage theater who
returned to Seward yesterday from
South, did not accompany her hus
band to Seward but stopped off at
Cordova to spend six weeks with her
mother.
The scene at the depot this morn
ing reminded one of the good old
summer time when throngs are con
stantly on the go.
A beautiful calendar was received
by The Gateway in this mail from
the Merchants and Miners Bank of
Ketchikan. It is a likeness of the
handsome calendar the Seward Trad
ing company issued.
