HAIL, HAIL THE GANG’S ALL HERE !
Where’s the strike ?
Your all wet, brother, no strike at all; just Seattle
stampeders to look us over and get better acquainted.
Welcome gang, welcome ! And may all your trou
bles be little ones.
But in all seriousness, Seward sincerely welcomes the
“goodwill cruise”, members of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce and Young Men's Business Club.
The only trouble there isn’t enough of you. We hope
you are enjoying yourselves and at the same time form
ing business contacts.
This is an immense and wealthy country, fellows, but
we need a bunch of live-wire salesmen, such as you, to
help put it over. To a certain extent Alaska put Seattle
on the map. Then flamed the unquenchable Seattle spirit
with the sky the limit.
You look forward to great progress in coast-wise
trade, the Islands, the Orient, South America, etc. Al
ready Seattle is a world city.
Why not for at least a period of one year center 90
percent of your combined efforts on the Territory of Al
aska which needs Outside assistance if we are to expand
instead of remaining in our present position, little chang
ed from that of 30 years ago.
And speaking of assistance we mean but one thing,
mining. All things will follow provided mining in gen
eral is resumed. Prospects ? Thousands of them but,
say the prospectors, why continue, if financial interest is
lacking. In other words the great need of Alaska is more
mining promoters of ability. Turn the tide of some of
your capital Northward; it will come back to you two
fold, and then some.
Of all the government vessels which make the Port of
Seward none are more welcome than the Coast Guard
Unalga, Captain Perkins, and his splendid staff of offi
cers and crew. Seward is for you 100 percent.
Seward is destined to become Alaska’s greatest city,
declared General Jadwin, Chief Engineer of the United
States Army in his annual report to Congress, 1928.
Hold everything men! To the west of Seward is where
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of furs are sent
annually to your Seattle Fur Exchange; millions of dol
lars in fish and seal skins; and it is also the place where
bears are bears—the monster Kodiak brown bear.
The latch string is out and Seward heartily welcomes
its guests from Seattle with open arms.
For his consistent and many years of painstaking
work in} behalf of the Territory of Alaska, we doff the lid
to our old friend Charlie Garfield of the Alaska Depart
ment, Seattle Chamber of Commerce., We wish there were
two of you, Charlie.
This is the place fellows, where the late President
Harding rested up for two entire days to inhale the invig
orating fresh air. “A jewel in a perfect setting/’ were his
words.
Harold Me Cracken, editor of Field and Stream said
if he had his life to live over the first 40 years would be
lived in the town of Seward, Alaska. Coming from Me
Cracken that’s a real compliment.
More than $300,000 is being spent in Seward this
summer on public improvements, including a new school
and residences. Not bad for a town with about 1,000 pop
ulation !
Proud of Seward? I’ll say we are!

Kenai Lake highway. This 20 mile!
drive is unsurpassed in the world.

Seward is the headquarters for the
U. S. Signal Corps Alaska System
with its network spreading throughout
the vast Interior, Southwestern and
Westward districts. Captain Ralph
R. Guthrie, nationally known author
is the commanding officer in charge.
Meet him.
The forests in certain sections of
this district contain just as large and
as many trees as the State of Wash
ington. Strange, one may say, but
true, nevertheless.
If you want <to taste real nectar
Seattleites, drink some of Seward’s
water. Green River is’nt in it, we
are sorry to say.
Aqk about our ^nnuaj Marathon
mountain race.
This is the place where the poor ex
cuse of a moon gives way, at this sea
son of the year, to Old Sol, who is al
most on dirty now 18 hour^ out of the
24. Don’t wait for night to roll around
before hitting the hay. You’ll be fool
ed.
The Geodetic Survey steamer Sur
veyor makes Seward it’s home port
while carrying forward work in Prince
William Sound and Westward waters.
Meet Capt. R. R. Lukens, and his offi
cers. They are regular fellows.
There are so many things to say to
these Seattle visitors that time and
space does not permit.
The famed Valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes is West of Seward.
