WELCOME CUTTER NORTHLAND
To Comdr. J. F. Hottel, and to his efficient staff of
officers and crew of the U. S. S. Northland, which arrived
in port last evening enroute to the Arctic, the Town of
Seward extends its heartiest welcome and hope during
their stay in Seward they may enjoy themselves and rest
content. Naturally, the Town of Seward will be host
and will entertain them with dances, a public reception,
and at the homes of citizens.
The key to the greatest seaport in Alaska is turned
over to you; make yourselves at home men:
Our town may be sjpall but our hearts are big.
A PROGRESSIVE, GROWING COMPANY
The announcement made today by Mr. Gus Gelles, sec
retary and treasurer of the Alaska Glacier Tours Associa
tion, to the effect the company, which is gaining a nation
al reputation due to its successful conducted hunts, will
open an office in Seward for the purpose of outfitting
their numerous and rapidly growing parties for big
game and scenic tours, will be applauded by local citizens
from whom the company can expect wholehearted coop
eration.
It is a move which will undoubtedly save the pro
gressive owners a considerable amount of time as well as
money to all concerned.
To Seward it means an additional annual income run
ning into sums aggregating many thousands of dollars.
The Alaska Glacier Tours Association, formed but a
few years ago, is recognized as the largest organization
of its kind in the Territory The fact that in its service
are found the veteran licensed game hunters of this, the
Westward and Interior districts, is but one of the reasons
why its progress has been so rapid. Scattered all over
the country are camps and lodges full of modern equip
ment of all sorts which, if innumerated, would surprise
the majority owing to the vast assortment and comforts
to be found.
Congratulations are extended the Alaska Glacier1
Tours with the wish that its advancement may never dim
and that shortly, instead of being known nationally, it
may become world famous.
# The U. S. Cutter Northland, which is making its
maiden voyage to this port, is another indication of the
progress of the Northland, Alaska. It is one of the fin
est craft of its kind ever seen by Sourdoughs.
A snowstorm in Anchorage; a beautiful summer' ’
in Seward. How about that banana belt reputation.
'->3 01
Trying to keep track of all these pioneers of the air
ways, who are blazing new trails for future generations,
is a difficult task unless one follows the dispatches closely.
Snow falling during the night on the peaks of moun
tains surrounding Seward brings home the knowledge
that winter will soon be upon us. How about that coal
and wood bin?
The blizzard which swooped down over Anchorage
today was so dense that it was almost impossible to see 20
feet ahead, later reports say. Well, at that rate, Seward
is still in the tropics.
How about dragging out that old trusty, rusty mus
ket for some exercise.
The beautiful summer’s day has developed into a rip
snorter of a gale accompanied by a weak attempt to snow.

protected against crushing ice.
A high speed revolving glass wind !

and mahogany.
There is a baseball nine on the
Northland which is at all times ready
to take on any outfit in the Territory
