Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northfland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm faith
in the Territory's possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and, that fche future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

SEWARD BAND TO
BE ORGANIZED
BY ED. BERUTTOl
WELL. KNOW BAND LEADER WILL
ESTABLISH HIMSELF IN
i SEWARD
It looks like Seward is at last to
have a band, for with the arrival j
in town, of Ed Berutto, well known i
Alaskan musician and band leader,
comes the announcement that he
plans to locate here permanently.
To The Gateway yesterday, Mr. Ber
utto stated he will estbalish a band
in Seward providing a sufficient num
ber of pupils can be obtained. There
is already considerable talent i
available, he said, and he anticipates
little difficulty in procuring the in
itial number of pupils. Lack of in
struments may prove a handicap,
however, in forming the band, but
this may be overcome by. the pupils
purchasing their own instruments,
providing they haven’t already got
them.
Mr. Berutto will be rememibered j
hy many of the older residents as
having arrived in town in 1917 with |
an eighteen piece brass band. Ef
forts to hold the band together at
that time wa.s unavailing for their j
various work and professions soon
took them out of Seward and along
the railroad construction line. Prior
to that time he formed a band at
Douglas which boasted of 36 pieces.
"At yesterday’s Chamber of Com
merce luncheon to which Mr. Ber
utto was a guest, he stated if he
could secure a number of pupils, re
gardless of the fact they may not
be able to play a single note on
any instrument, by persistent efforts
on his and the pupils’ part, he would
be able to present to the citizens
of Seward a full fledged band which
no one would have to be ashamed
of. And as an asset to the town,
he pointed out, he knew of none bet
ter than a band.
NUMEROUUS CABLES ARE
WIRED EAST TO FRIENDS
j Little business was transacted at
yesterday’s weekly business meeting
and luncheon of the Chamber of
Commerce which was held at the
Grill. Among the committee reports
turned in, was that in connection
with the membership drive. It "was
stated the Woman’s Chib will hold
their regular meeting Thursday of
this week at which time the matter
of assisting the chamber would be
discussed.
Secretary J. P. Hannon, of the
chamber, was instructed by Presi
dent P. C. McMullen .to meet with
Noel W. Smith, general manager of
the Alaska Railroad, upon his ar
rival in Seward Saturday from Se
attle and extend to him the per
sonal welcome of the citizens of
Seward and if convenient, arrange
a chamber luncheon in Mr. Smith’s
honor.
Air. E. Berutto, former business
man of Anchorage, and band leader,
who has moved to Seward; and pro
poses to establish a business here,
was a guest at the luncheon during
the course of which he was called
upon for a few remarks. This Mr.
Berutto did, his topic dwelling on
the value of a band to a community,
town or city. Mr. Berutto plans to
organize a band in Seward at once.
It was brought out during the
business meeting that numerous te
egrams have been dispatched to
Washington, D. C. and to many Con
gressmen and representatives during
the last few days, by many of Sew
ard’s leading business men with the
view of obtaining the support and
assistance in furthering the proposed
Lowell creek project.
