We have been congratulating
ourselves in Seward about our
abundant hospitality, and have,
indeed, become almost smug
about it—quite sure in our own
minds that our town is the most
friendly and hospitable place in
the Territory.
Believe me, we must look to
our laurels, because Kodiak is
second to none in the treatment
of guests. Friendliness and hos
pitality radiates in the air. even
when it is so thick with fog
and rain that one can hardly see
across the street.
Anchorage also goes all out
to entertain its visitors. One only
has to make his presence known
there to find that same spirit
■of friendly interest that is the
most heart-warming intangible
quality possessed by the Terri
tory as a whole.
Discerning visitors have dis
covered a slight difference in
the f cling, however, for Alas
kan residents and Outsiders.
There seems to be a “we re all
in the same boat" kinship biV
tween Alaskans, but ev.ry com
.munity vies with the other to
impress the Outsider with the
idea that "you don't want to go
there, this is the best place to
live." It must be slightly amus
ing to visitors to see ai .i sense
the rivalry among Alaska cities.
This sort of public spirit is
nothing but good. .Such posses
sive civic pride will do a great
deal toward the development of
til Territory.
By their very nature, hospi
tality and friendliness are wide
open to imposition by the indi
gent. the criminal anti the sub
versive elements. While Alaska
cities are seeking improvement
and development, the citizen*
must be forever watchful against
the grosser qualities which will
inevitably infiltrate. This re
quires stern and puritanic treat
ment of crime whenever and
wherever it lifts its ugly head.
While our cities are small but
growing is the time to be watch
ful. to establish the reputation
for friendliness and hospitality
and to keep that reputation pol
ished and clean.
OLD SEWARD PAPER AND
PHOTOGRAPH FOUND
Thanks are due to Alex P tro
vich for the loan of an old copy
of the Seward Gateway and of
an early picture of Seward’s res
idential district, both of which
were found during a recent
clean-up at the Alaska Transfer
barn.
The ; wspaper. dated April
22. ID 10. carried headlines r.
gardiir' the surrender of the
‘ Huns’’ and the impending revo
lution in Russia.
The photograph showed what
used to be known as “Million
aires’ Row" during the process
of construction, beginning with
the home row occupied by the
Adkins on Third Avenue, and
ending with the Urbach dwell
ing, formerly the home of
Frank Ballaine. Stumps still
were standing in what is now
Third Avenue, which was then
in the process of clearing.
There is no date on the pic
ture. but it is estimated to have
been taken about 1908 or 1909.
MARRIAGE LICENSE . . .
A marriage license was issued
by U.S. Commissioner Southard
this week to Charles A. Stewart
and Mary Katheryn O’Neill, both
of Anchorage. It was understood
that the ceremony is to be per
formed after their return to An
chorage.
A daughter was born to Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Preshaw in
Seward General Hospital on No
vember 6. The little girl was
named Doris Marie. She weighed
six pounds, nine ounces.
