“We did it!” shouts the Anchor
age Times.
Doggone it. Anchorage has done
it again! The best, the worst, the
latest and the first, Anchorage is
always on the ball and in there
plugging. Now they have set the
all time record for snow fall! I tell
you those folks can’t be beat. How
did they do it?
We here in Seward just sit back
and let nature take its course, snow
and rain being such common place
things that we don’t even bother
to measure them. But not Anchor
age!
Other cities in Alaska grumble
about the "Big City” getting
everything for itself. The Congress,
the Territorial Legislature, ARR,
the Army, the Chamber of Com
merce—now even the elements
work for Anchorage.
Or do they? Maybe it is just that
the city has a good publicity agent.
So far as I am concerned, I'm per
fectly happy to sit tight in Seward,
where we have no record snow to
clean off, no extreme tempera
tures, no army, no shootings, rob
beries or gambling. Where our po
lice department is reliable and ef
ficient, where our volunteer fire
men will put out a neighbor’s fire
even if he lives miles from town.
In Seward, where our bars and
night clubs work with the civic
clubs and City Council for the
good of the town.
Yes, I’ll stay in Seward even if
we didn’t have a record snowfall
to boast about.—How about you?

Alaska Prospectors —1949 Style
During the next few months, vessels of
The Alaska Line will bring many tourists
•to the Territory.
These modern prospectors will be seeking
adventure and enjoyment — not gold. And
they will be richly rewarded by the wealth of
splendid scenery ... the friendly atmosphere.
Many will bring their autos with them and
travel inland for a thorough look at the Empire
of the North.
Alaska Steamship Company is bringing as
many bf these visitors as possible to the Terri
tory. More are eager to come. They are the
source of Alaska’s rapidly-developing tourist
industry.
Tourists bring new wealth to the Territory,
not only because of the money they spend,
but also because they carry home with them
an appreciation of the great future that lies
ahead for Alaska.
This ever-broadening recognition of the
Territory’s great potentialities is one key to
Alaska’s industrial development—and a major
objective of the Alaska Steamship Company.
