SEWARD TO HAVE
BIG CELEBRATION
FOURTH OF JULY
""Seward is going to have a Fourth
of July celebration this year which
will be the envy of her neighboring
towns, providing plans outlined at the
meeting of the fire department mem
bers last night are carried out. And
this, without question, will be done,
for a live-wire finance committee con
sisting of Dr. Roberts, Harry Ells
worth and Charles Sheldon were ap
pointed last night and are getting
busy today.
Telegrams will be dispatched today
to Latouche and Sawmill Bay, advis
ing the residents of those districts
what Seward will have to offer them
in the way of an enjoyable program
of entertainment on the national holi
day. The probability of paving a
marathon race is very good for this
race is just about the first event the
committee will start to line up. Sew
ard residents have always enjoyed the
race up old Marathon mountain and
some remarkable records have been
made.
Arrangements are also under way
for out of town ball teams to come
to Seward on the Fourth and play
either one or a series of games. La
touche is being wired in this connec
tion today as is also Anchorage. The
matter of preparing the local ball
grounds for games will be looked after
immediately and a program of other
events arranged. According to the
discussion at the meeting last night
there will be events of all kinds for
young and old and a program which
will keep things moving throughout
the day.
The Peck-Judah Tours party which
is scheduled to arrive in Sewrard on
i or before the Fourth of July, will be
t
wired to at headquarters in an effort
to halt the large party of approxi
mately 40 tourists tendering them an
invitation to join in the festivities.
A special meeting will be held next
Thursday evening at S o’clock for the
purpose of hearing the report of the
finance committee.

Baseball Meeting At
Firehall Last Evening
The hall was started rolling last
night at the volunteer firemen’s meet
ing to form a couple of city baseball
ball teams and give the local citizens
a brand of the national pastime which
she has lacked for a number of years.
Never before, in the last ten years,
it was stated last night, has there
been such a gathering of real talent
as is apparent in Seward at the pres
ent time. Ample material for two
fast teams are rarin’ to go but lack
of grounds even has eliminated the
possibility of holding work-outs.
This condition will soon be a thing
of the past though for a small sum
is still in the baseball treasury, a
hangover from former years, and this
will no doubt be used to start the
initial work of preparing the field for
games this season. Considerable grav
el now covers the park and there are
several bad spots in the infield and
outfield which will have to be leveled
out.
Every baseball fan, player and en
thusiast is asked to attend the meet
ing called for tonight, at 7:30
o’clock at the fire hall. Two teams
will be selected from those attending
as a preliminary move to get under
way. Other important business will
be transacted and the association will
no doubt be formed.
A large quantity of lumber and
1,400 railway ties were picked up at
Days Harbor by the Admiral Evans
and brought over to Seward th!s
morning.
RESPECTS SENT LOCAL
FRIENDS FROM TIAJUANA
“We are just hoisting one in re
spect for our many friends in far
away Sewrard town,” writes Charlie
Walmsley and Charlie Benson, for
mer citizens of Seward who are now
located at Tiajuana, B. C., Mexico.
A flock of post cards were recently
received here from “the boys,” on
the reverse of which showed a real
handsome, wholesome and very life
like colored, photograph of a quart
bottle of—believed to be—Wright
and Taylor whiskey, No. 5, bottled
in 1919. At first glance one stands
aghast at the beautiful coloring ot
the picture and one is apt to burst
into tears, mostly Texas-steers, and
especially so wThen one thinks of the
Seward “boys” all alone, thousands
of miles from their friends, replen
r
ishing their appetites with hard lik
kor.
Benson and Allan J. Stockman, al
so well known in Seward own and
operate the Seattle Bar. Their busi
ness card, reads something like this:
Oak-run Bourbon Rye—Any Choice
Liquors—Good Music and Dancing—
and we say, digest that for awhile!
