Seward has been most fortunate in
having the splendid U. S. Navy band
(the President’s Own) give daily con
certs for its citizens. This is one of
the finest bands ever heard in this
city and its music is indeed a rare
treat. The band boys are a splendid
bunch of fellows, who appear wiling
to entertain our citizens in every way
possible. Director Center has been
giving us a varied program, including
high class music interspersed with
plenty of peppy jazz.
That transport ball team certainly
can play ball.
Deputy Marshal Ralph Reed and
Town Marshal Jack Walker have been
two of the hardest worked men in
Seward the past week. Mr. Walker
and crew erected the handsome arch
at the approach to the dock, and also
decorated the wharf.
The Pioneers of Alaska are now
receiving $25 per month for men and
$30 per month for women, which is a
substantial increase. Too much com
fort cannot be provided for the wor
thy citizens in their declining years.
One thing noticeable, and worthy of i
commendation, is that Seward citizens j
did not harass the President with
untimely complaints and suggestions
as to betterment of the Territory. The
President is in Alaska on a tour of I
observation, and constructive results
may be expected only after he gets
back to Washington and has time to |
think over the vast amount of infor-:
mation he has received on his trip. >
All suggestions and complaints should
be made to the Secretaries at their
hearings to be held here this week.
All along the route of the rail- j
road commendatory reports are pour
ing in, of the good fellowship shown
by President and Mrs. Harding. No
man has been denied approach to them
and both have shown a human inter
est in Alaskans and things Alaskan
We believe President and Mrs. Hard
ing will go out of Alaska with the
loyal affection of every man, woman
and child who had the good fortune to,
meet them. Which may account for
the reason Mr. Harding is president.
Mayor Ray and the Civic commit
tee again thanks those citizens who
furnished autos for the Presidential
party. The Gateway deprecates the
fact that lack of space prohibits the
publication of these auto drivers and
their passengers.

Mr. H. E. Ellsworth, fortunate pos_
sesor of one of the largest and finest
cars in town, had the honor of being
driver for President and Mrs. Hard
ing.
We made a good showing when the
President went through Seward, but
just watch our smoke when our dis
tinguished guests return.
The mercury stood close to 90 yes
terday in Seward, and it promises to
be warmer today. We will yet be
plucking bananas and oranges from
our back porches.
The officers and men on the naval
vessels have swarmed to the hills and
lakes the past few days, and if they
have not had a good time it is not be
cause they have not tried.
The Standard Oil Company adds
about $ 10,000 a year to Seward’s pay
roll. A few more enterprises like this
and we will be able to step some.
Seward rejoices that the Presiden
tial party will return by way of Val
dez. The scenic attractions about
this the oldest town in the division,
are not surpassed anywhere, and the
trip over the Richardson road to Key
stone canyon is one that will be re
membered by the visitors for years to
come. Again we say, we believe the
President will enjoy his trip to Val
dez as much or more, than to any oth
er part of Alaska.
