on your way East
Add to the enjoyment of
your trip east this winter
the pleasure of a stopover
in California. The cost is

New Orleans is hut $7.57
more than if you go direct
ly east from Seattle.
The Shasta Route’s fine
trains speed you from Se
attle to California quickly
and comfortably and from
there you have your choice
of 3 great routes, 8 fine
trains to the East.
Your stay in San Francisco
— hospitable, gay, world
loved— will seem all too
short.
From there famous re
sorts of Southern California,
Los Angeles, Hollywood,
San Diego are easily and
quickly reached by South
ern Pacific.
Your trip east may he all
the way through “southern
sunshine"—over the Sun
set Route—San Francisco,
Los Angeles, El Paso, New
Orleans to New York. Or
direct over the Goldf.n
State Route —Los An
geles to Chicago. Or via the
OverlandRoute from San
Francisco to Chicago via
Oma ha.

trated booklets. Southern

Seward body in the last mail urg
ing the local organization pass a
resolution as favoring the pro
ject. At Tuesday’s meeting it was
decided to draw such a document
j up immediately and forward it

las follows:
President Leon Urbach, Seward
I Chamber of Commerce; Atten
tion is called to the enclosed re
closed report No. 1910 of the House
Committee on Rivers and Harbors
and to page 100 thereof covering
the harbor of refuge at your port,
the approval of the project, and
recommending the same at an !
estimated cost of $85,000. Also a
copy of House Bill No. 14066 in
troduced May 28, 1928, on page 17
thereof of an item covering same.
WE HAVE BEEN
advised Mr. Underwood, who is
in charge of the headquarters of
the Chamber in Washington, D.
C., that it is desirable to begin ac
tive work towards securing the
necessary legislation by Congress
at once that the necessary author
ization for the work and the ap
propriation to cover it may be se
cured.
It is suggested that your Cham
ber immediately to bring this
about, and forward same to us j
without delay that it may re- i
ceive appropriate action here
and be transmitted to Mr. Under
wood, and by him referred to the
Congressional delegation from
this state that its support may
be secured, and also that you ob
tain the endorsement of the del
egate.

upon by the Gateway during the
months gone by, follow’s:
Resurrection Bay, on the south
west coast of Alaska, is the site
of the city of Seward, which is
the ocean terminus of the Alaska
