- SUM OF MEN HIS
EXISTED IN SEWARD
SINCE EARLY SPRING
EXCELLENT FISHERY SEASON
AND BIG DEVELOPMENT WORK
INTERIOR, IS CAUSE
For weeks past there has been a
large shortage of men in this and in
these regions bordering along the rail
road belt, and right now, according to
Joe Hofman, the Alaska railroad is
in need of many men for work along
the line. In this connection he states
it is remarkable the amount of work
that has been accomplished so far this
season with the small number of men
available. He gives as one reason of
the labor shortage, that of the ex
ceptionally fine fishing season, in
which industry, every man who could
be obtained was hired by the many
! canneries in this, the Westward and
i Cook Inlet regions. However, prior
to the fishing season it was difficult
to hire men in Seward. Though lo
cated hundreds of miles away the de
velopment work in the Interior dis
trict by the Fairbanks Exploration
company, attracted large numbers of
men throughout this vicinity and
others who came pouring into the city
last spring from the south.
Lucky Says: There is al
ways a way open to the man
who really wants to find it.
Ask Lucky how!

ROADHOUSE RT MILE 18
IS NEARING COMPLETION
The roadhouse under construction
at Mile 18, Seward Kenai lake high
way, is rapidly nearing completion
I and it is the hope of Robert Carlson,
! owner that he will * be able to open
for business this coming month. The
lodge is of two stories, spacious, and
in a splendid location. Mr. Carlson
has so constructed the log building
so that it will be a comparatively easy
ipatter to add an addition when busi
ness warrants.
Tomorrow night is ladies’ night at
the S. A. C. hall.
Horse drawn, a machine has been
invented with which it is estimated
15,000 tree seedlings can be planted,
fertilized and watered by two men
