SEWARD METAL WORKS
NEW LOCAL FIRM
. NOW OPEN BUSINESS
The Seward Metal Works will
be the name of Seward’s new
enterprise which is ready now to
accept work even though things
are not yet in complete readiness
Jack Shea stated today more
stock and supplies are on their
way but general work can be tak
4 en care of now. Sheet metal and
light manufacturing work, black
smithing, plumbing and auto re
pairing are the highlights of the
new firm, the latter being under
the expert charge of Robert Man- j
they. i
Shea, for five years, was master;
mechanic here for the Alaska i
Railroad; previous to that he wasj
roundhouse foreman at Anchorage
^ from which job he was sent to
the Susitna River bridge con
struction job on which he remain
ed from start to finish. The last,
few years he was with the Sew
ard Machine Shop as was also
Manthey, in the auto repairing re
partment. #
The old postoffice building next |
to Odd Fellows Hall is the loca
tion of the new business and for
some weeks past the interior has
. been under process of remodelng
among which items was that of
cutting a large auto entrance in
front. Shea and Manthey invite
the public to inspect the premises
at any time.

THE PUBLIC INVITED
Seward seems te be extremely
fortunate these past few months
in the way of social affairs. No
sooner is one away in nice shape
when along comes another such
as the one which will be present
ed Saturday night to the public
and free of all charge by the Sew
ard Odd Fellows Lodge. On that
evening the lodge requests the
presence of everybody in the city
to attend their observance of the
112th anniversary of the Order.
Dance and eat the whole night
through.
MILD INSIDE
No news as to ice conditions at
Nenana could be found in the
columns of papers arriving in the
lat mail with the exception of
comment as to dredges operating
two weeks earlier than ever before.
This may be taken as an indica
tion that it is extremely mild In
side and, according to The Gate
ways forecaster, the ice should
bust loose between May 1 and
the 6th. If it doesn’t six “bucks”
are gone forever.

Miss McMahan, an incoming ar
rival from King Cove on the SS
Starr, is enroute to her former
home in Idaho. Officers on the
vessel say Miss McMahan proved
be a real sailor on the voyage
this port.
SPOILED THE EVENING
I It is said that a “geoduck” had
his long neck out of his shell at
the Saturday dance, the foyer of
the hall being the lookout. The
spectacle is said to have spoiled
the evening for a few who don’t
like “geoducks” in any shape.
THE BIST ran
On account of two things “The
Patsy,” extremely clever Little
Theater Club three-act comedy,
is being presented again, tomor
row night at the Liberty theater.
First of these is because of the
many requests for a second show
ing, and secondly, because about
$30 was short in paying the ex
penses of the orginal presentation.
It is fully expected the perfor
mance Tuesday night will lift
the well known mortgage and
keep the howling wolves away from
the door
There will be a handfull of re
served seats on sale at 75c but
a general charge of 50c will be
made with 25c for children under
112.
Vessels in port today included
the SS Starr, Roy, Bill, Bavaria
and the Omaney.
FOUND AT THE BALL
A lady’s comb in a leather case,
picked up from the dance floor
Saturday evening, was turned in
to Floor Manager Wm. Abbott.
The owner may have same by
identifying it at The Gateway of
fice.
Prom the Westward come re
