SEWARD PIONEERS
REVIVE EARLY-DAY
MEMORIES ON 4TH
The Seward lodge of the Pioneers
; of Alaska and the Auxiliary, will
gain much popularity in the an
nouncement that on the Big Celebra
tion, the 4th of July, they will have
many of the oldtime gambling wheels
and devices of “easy come” running
full blast. Professional dealers and
gamblers, of the days long gone by,
will once again bark their wares
or silently deal out the cards. No
definite plan of this form of enter
tainment is complete for publication,
but one thing the public is always as
sured of, that When the Pioneers
take hold of a proposition of this
kind, they go thru with it in Hying
colors. The announcement that they
are going to enter into the festivi
ties, comes as a wonderful asset to
the final success of the day.
STEAMER STARR ON
HOMEWARD STRETCH

week.
PARADE OF FLOATS
IS ASSURED FOR
FOURTH OF JULY
If any merchant or business man
of Seward has not given the matter
of having a float in the 4th of July
parade, It is high time he or she
gets busy for the decoration commit
tee reports the greater majority of
the business people are taking much
interest in the celebration, particular
ly with regard to the floats and win
dow decoration.
As always, awards will be made,
but it is not the award the average
merchant goes out after, but the
honor and pleasure of copping the
bacon. On the other hand, the cash
award helps considerably in cutting
down the expenses. They will be
no phonograph leading the parade
this year, but a real houest-to-good
ness brass band.
Jack McCord, who returned to
Seward Sunday morning from Iniskin
Bay, on the steamer Alaska, depart

evening’s train.

You can’t get it with pneumatic tires no
matter how much you pay. You di get it
with Lambert “Trublpruf” Tires from the day
you put them on till they have gone ten,
twenty and often thirty thousand miles.
For motor truck and commercial car operators
we have some figures on low tire cost that
will prove a revelation.
Glad to present them any time.
