tirst issue appearing in February
THE SEWARD WEEKLY GATEWAY WILL BE A NEW DEPARTURE in
tie field of Alaska journalism, and will start off with a circulation of nearly 1UUU
copie* It will contain the Associated Press News of the week, local news and Te -
ritorial News, as well.as news of the mining and fishing industries.. The Seward
WceMy Gateway will have nearly exclusive entry to the vast district west ot Rew
ard owing to geographic location, and will have a splendid staff of corresponden s
in each camp. Subscribers taking the Saturday Gateway will be transferred to the

We believe this new venture will prove sueessful inasmuch as it will oiler an ac \ei
tising medium for outside advertisers to reach the westward public.
While The Seward Weekly Gateway will be published m Seward, for a time at
least, it will be distinctively an Alaskanpublication, by Alaskans for Alaskans. Ad
vertising rates will be 50 cents per inch per issue or $2.00 per month.
