THE PROGRESSIVE ALASKA GUIDES, INC.
While others are talking this live-wire organization
acts. A few of their accomplishments this year included
the blasting of the rocks in Kenai River to make naviga
tion safe; the development of the Matanuska Valley with
money obtained from wealthy sportsmen of the States.
There is no limit to wiiat good this organization can
do. All loyal Alaskans should either morally, if not finan
cially, participate in the good work they are doing.
W atch your step, Congress, Since Cal doesn't choose
to run, he can choose to veto without any apprehensions i
concerning his reelection.
Another nice thing about being a millionaire is that
your chances of exemption from criminal conviction are
about 99—44 and 100 percent.
A WAVE OF OPTIMISM
As an indication of confidence the citizens of Sew
ard hold wre wTould call attention to the numerous real
estate transactions since the school bond election. A new
wave of .confidence as .to the .growth of the city seem
ctx io nave come in overnight following the election wThich
gave Seward a brand new school. There is a different
spirit manifest; more unity, all of wThieh spells progress.
Together with the Lowell Creek project, the new school!
and the many new buildings in .prospect, as well as re
pairs and alterations to others, it is conservatively esti
mated at least §300,000 will be expended in the city this
year.
All this revolving around the regular payroll. Not so
bad, is it? $300,000 in one year!
Physicians are now going into the beauty specialist
business, according to a late new7s release. They want to
fix the faces of the people who have turned up their noses
at them. i
It would do no harm to investigate the investigators I
while investigations are in order.
A good prospect may be a potential bonanza but only
progressive development will tell the story.
Every mine was once a prospect and there are new
mines in the making in the very small stage that wTill later
hold the attention of large investment capital.

H>obtiai!etl shoes were declared to

Four thousand volts of electricity
passed thru his bdy when he removed
a cap from the commutator in the sta

The nails in his shoes established
a short circuit when they touched the
floor and the current passed thru him
by that means, police were told.
