A aska Railroad Receives
New Cabooses
Four new cabooses, with stream
lined cupolas, were welcomed by
the Alaska Railroad this week as
the vanguard of 20. The new equip
ment, tailor-made for Alaska, will
take its place in service as soon
as two-way radio is installed.
The cabooses were made by the
Pacific Car and Foundry Co. of
Seattle. They incorporate ideas of
the ARR engineers and ideas sub
mitted by trainmen from exper
ience. The cars have an axle
driven generator to furnish elec
trical power, double sliding win
dows, and three-inch thick wool
insulation in the floors, ceilings,
and walls. The car is roomier than
the old cluttered up “crummies”
with their smoky interiors. There
is plenty of storage space and
locker room aboard.
The journal boxes contain anti
friction roller bearings to help the
car move more smoothly. Two-way
radio connection will keep the ca
boose crew in touch with the
engine and also with way-stations
when they are within range. The
streamlined c u p o 1 a will afford
trainmen a full view of the cars
ahead and also shed snow more
readily.
Delivery of the other 16 cabooses
is expected soon.

WHAT to DO and WHERE to GO
In FRIENDLY SEWARD
By JAY WALKER
The stranger in Seward, as well |
as the new resident or old timer is 1
bound to be interested in what is |
doing in the way of entertainment j
and recreation, and it’s my inten
tion from time to time to tip you
off to what is going on, or what is
planned.
Seward is a fortunate community
insofar as taking an active interest
in entertainment for its younger
folks is concerned, as well as for
the interest the business men and
women have shown in basketball,
bowling, fishing derbies and other
sports. Roller skating at the new
Community Civic Center is an out
standing example of community
enterprise.
Of course the next big thing that
will bring wide publicity to the
community is the Marathon Race
on the Fourth of July, but long be
fore then there will be a great
many people overhauling their
fishing gear preparing for week
end or longer treks to the interior
lakes and streams. It is our hope
to keep you tipped off as to out
standing developments in this line.
The problems of the unattached
working man in finding a few
hours of leisure and relaxation is
one that is facing every community
in the Territory. In Seward with
its billiards and bowling there is
an outlet, as well as in the orderly
places where favorite beverages
are dispensed along with music
and, in some cases, dancing.
In this, first of a series of adver
tisements, we present just a few of
these places. You will hear from
them again and others, too.
Another thing to remember is
that a great many people seem to
BEFORE DINNER ... or after . . . one of the snuggest little cocktail
spots to be found. anywhere is the Nugget, right down town, but
around the corner on Washington Street, next to Hamilton’s
Garage. It is here that Elmer Hardesty, long popular Seward
tender, recently went into partnership with Paul Svedeen, one of
the genuine old-timers. Here, too, gather a cosmopolitan group
of people who enjoy good music, and good fellowship.
REMODELING HAS BEGUN at Seward's popular waterfront recrea
spot—The Palace Bar—jvhich now is under the management of
Doris and Howard Smith. The Palace is undergoing alterations to
give it the "new7 look.” Already a new Wurlitzer with a choice
selection of the latest and most popular records has been installed.
A piano and orchestra facilities are to be part of the new features.
The ceiling is being lowered and draped and the floor enlarged
by removal of the barber shop. The Palace will remain open
during alterations, which soon will be completed.
As soon as the remodeling is finished, Doris will be at the
piano to play your request from 9 p.m. on.
This is not going to be a “high class night club,” but a place
to drop in on the way to or from work and enjoy yourself. All
tuxedo wearers are warned to come at their own risk.
If you are just getting started when it is time to close up,
drop out to the Wagon Wheel and continue. They never close.
Doris and Howard will see you there too.
GABE'S at Mile 2 deals exclusively in good food, and his place has
earned a Territory-wide reputation for its excellence. We visited
Gabe Santos, the proprietor, before business hours and found him
in his kitchen, and you could not find a cleaner place anywhere.
The secret of a good dinner is simple enough, says Gabe. First
your food, all of it, must be the best. Next, it should be properly
prepared and then served as a dinner should be served—hot and
properly timed. No wonder the Seward business man entertains
his out-of-town guests at Gabe’s. He is open every night except
Tuesdays. No reservations necessary.
overlook Saturday night. It is one
of the best nights to get out and
meet your friends.
“It used to be,” an old-timer told
me, "that Saturday nights were so
busy we had to keep on our toes to
take care of our patrons. Now, it
seems as though a great many
people are passing up Saturday
night because they believe every
place will be too crowded. They
should come down town and take
a look.”
