The Chamber of Commerce is mak
ing a drive for new memberships, one
of the most important with the ex
ception of the Red Cross, and one of
untold benefit to the town. There is
no reason why every citizen of Sew
ard should not belong to the local
Chamber. It is working unceasingly
for the betterment of the town, with
out political or social bias. One does
not have to attend the luncheons to
be a member, nor does one have to be
a member to attend the luncheons.
All that is expected or required is that
the member place his shoulder to the
wheel in helping bring Seward to her
destined greatness.
At a recent meeting of the Anchor
age chamber of commerce the ques
tion of dividing the territory was dis
cussed pro and con, and it was decid
ed to allow the matter to come before
congress at the instigation of its pro
ponents of the first division. In case
the division is made, either Seward or
Anchorage would be the capital, with
new territorial officers to be elected
and much new blood injected into this
division. There is so much to be said
in favor of division, and so little that,
can be said against it, that the ques
tion should carry unanimous, if put'
to a vote of the people.
One of the first things done by the
new manager of the Alaska railway
should be to tear down the polyglot
signs posted at its several stations,
and insist that its employes be loyal
Americans, or at least have taken out
their first papers for citizenship. If]
the government wants to instill a spir-j
it of patriotism among Alaskans, it!
should set the example. The requi-i
sites for a job on the government
railroad should be that an employe!
can read and write the English Ian-;
guage. So few of us understand it that'
it would be superfluous to make this
a necessary adjunct to employment.
Alaska will come back when its
prospectors return to the hills and its
mines reopen. The establishment of
Standard oil tanks at Seward will go
far toward reopening the mines, in
providing cheap fuel and power, but
it requires the old-school prospector to
find these properties for development,
and they are rapidly passing away or
going outside. The youngster of the
present era hangs too close to the silk
sock area to develop any new ground.
The Red Cross Roll Call Committee
needs glass pint jars with fitted cov
ers. If you have any to give please
leave them with Mr. Walker at the
fire hall.
Beginning tomorrow night trains
will again be running on the Alaska
railroad between Seward and Inte
rior points. The past three weeks
without trains or communication with
Intel ior towns, have been the dullest
ever experienced in Seward, and
is with great joy that we will awai
the whistle of the locomotive tomo
row evening. Connection with Inte
rior towns will be of great help this
winter, and will add greatly to our
volume of business.
The Alaskan, Anchorage’s new daily
paper came out Saturday in twelve
page form, and so great was the vol
ume of business offered that advertis
ing was turned down, it was said. The
Alaskan will be a morning daily, as
soon as a press service can be secured
and it promoters feel that it will be
a winner. It will be the only morn
ing paper in Alaska.
FILM STAR PASSES THRU
SEWARD ON WAY TO INTERIOR
Miss Eva Novak, a film star of
considerable magnitude, passed thru
Seward on a recent boat, on their way
to Fairbanks, where they will partici
pate in a film to be produced by the
Norman Dawn company. Miss Lois
Lee, Kent Sanderson, Arthur Jasmine
and William Eagle Eye accompanied
her.
TOMATOES GROW'N AT HYDER
Tomatoes exceeding three inches in*
diameter, and still far from matured,
together with peas as fine as are seen
anywhere are the rewards of H. A.
lives, the photographer, formerly of
Cordova and Valdez, but now of Hy
der. In addition to the tomatoes and
peas Mr. Ives also raises a wide va
riety of tubers.

salmon on the upper Yukon was a
month or more behind this year. The
run was very light owing to the river
having been fished out by the cannery
at the mouth.
