Have you heard of the “R-A 4” i li
shades of Tom Sawyer and Huck’ g
c’inn’. They are four of Seward’s „
idventure-seeking youths who have
Diiilt a cabin—their camp—a short
distance from the road at Mile 5J/2- j £
rhe four members of the R-A 4, {
iFour Ramblers About), are Arne
rollbom, Bjarne Tollbom, Barton
Stanton and Eddie Manthey.
The cabin is a two-room struc- k
;ure—one . room containing the 0
stove and a complete line of cook- 7
ng equipment; the other room
containing four bunks. r
The ambitious lads have con- '
structed a driveway leading to the T
cabin and have cleared a space so
chat they can drive up with their : ]•
cars and turn around.
The Gateway investigator pro
ooses to drop in on them and learn c
some culinary secrets in t he near; C
future.

Chamber of
Commerce Notes
The Fishing Vessel’s Owners As- t
sociation of Seattle have advised c
the Seward Chamber that news of
the new Seward General Hospital
is spreading lapidly among fisher
men, and the glad tidings are wel
comed by the industry as a whole.
Chairman Urbach recently re- >
quested that a report be made of i1
any obse rvances of sprouting or de-! (
velopment i e ulting from t h e j
planting of wiid rice which wasj
done by Chamber members last | ’
season
Eric Lucas, vice-president of the j
Seattle Bank of Commerce and a |
former resident of Seward, now
spending his summer vacation here,
was given a large hand reception
at the Chamber meeting last Tues
day. Mr. Lucas said “I haven’t
changed my opinion that- Seward is
the most beautiful of all Alaska
towns, and that the city is the nat
ural outlet for Interior Alaska.” He
also stated that the city looka even
25 percent better now, then when
he resided here, remarking that the
relocating of the depot has been a
major improvement. Mr. Lucas
said that from the standpoint of
making a city beautiful, Seward
has one asset that no other Alaska
'town can approach, in the person
of Contractor Gerhart Johnsen
whose fine construction work and
'extraordinary ability as a stucco
jartist has given Seward more beau
'tiful buildings than any other city
in the Territory.
Definition of a good citizen: “A
good citizen is one who is willing
at all times to make some sacrifice
of his time, means and convenience
'to advance the common welfare
and as such an abiding interest in
’this that he is always watchful and
’needs no urging to do his duty”.—
‘Honorable Judson A. Harmon.
Regular weekly luncheon and
business meeting of the Chamber
tomorrow noon at the Seward Grill.

'ould not be necessary to employ such expensive stim
lants to secure settlers. Industry would have attract
d the one while the other would have tilled the soil to
apply populous needs.
Against this we have the glaring fact of one million
nnerican citizens having within ten years deserted
leir native heath and flag to enlist under the banner
f Canada, taking with them three billions of dollars in
wealth. The stream might have been divided with Alas
a, but Canada had the advantage of adhering to dem
cracy while Alaska became a vassal adjunct to the
Tnited States, her resources locked up and capital serv
d notice to keep out. With true British conservatism,
Canada clung to tried and proven usages, while the
fnited States imposed a sort of illegitimate socialism
pon Alaska. Canada’s paternalism is practical; Alas
a’s is a blight upon initiative, a stagnate)- of business,
f development, of all the principles of Americanism as
onceived and promulgated by the master minds that
onceived it.
Let us tell Senator Howell that Alaska is like a
tore, its shelves teeming with desirable goods and the
roprietor turning the key in the lock and then sitting
own and waiting for some legerdemain to fill his cash
gister.
It has been known for some time that Senator How
l favored scrapping a portion of the railroad. This idea
is been fostered and encouraged by men not .so much
terested in the ultimate vindication of the railroad as
iey are in the trade to be garnered from the payrolls
sbursed in building to Portage Bay. These men would
'e the eclipse of every settlement in Alaska if the\
>uld profit by the.process. It is little wonder that far
ghted statesmen have acquired a disgust at this gL.i
g provincialism and selfishness. . . .
These are the things the Senatorial party should
? told, and evidence should be marshaled to suppoit
iem It can be done, but not by men who would subor
inate every principle of right and fairness that they
lay profit at. the expense of Seward or other comrnum
,ies.
