HELLO, OLD SCOUT.
(Stroller’s Weekly)
After another month the festive
tourist will be in our midst by tens,
scores, and hundreds. His vanguard
has already arrived. The main army
of him will be here in force in an
other month and he will continue tc
come until the sere is on the pump
kin.
It is the duty of all good Alaskans
to meet tourists with open arms re
gardless of race, sex, color or previ
ous condition. If it is a man, slap
him on the back and call him “Old
Scout.” If it is a woman, admire hei
and ask her if she does not think oui
scenery is just too sweet for any
thing. Be sociable.
If you think the man is that kind
introduce him to your bootlegger and
give him the association grip. If the
stranger looks like he was from the
South say, “How are you all?” anc
he will fall on your neck and weep
for joy at finding someone in Alaskc
that speaks his own language.
Take the initiative. If you see £
stranger or a cluster of strangers
standing on a corner gazing up intc
the azure, step up and say something
light and airy. If there is anything
in particular they wish to know', give
them the information they desire
W’hether or not you know’ it. Don’t
be offish.
Unless you wish to be taken for s
liar, don’t tell tourists that zero was
the coldest weather experienced last
winter. Truth is prosaic at times, anc
especially to tourists who are looking
for thrills. If they w’ant thrills, thril
’em and thrill ’em a plenty.
If asked concerning reindeer, ex
plain that they have been turned ou
on the moss since the snow wem
away and spoiled the sledding. Direc
visitors to points of interest aftei
finding out what will interest them
While Elks from Buffalo may not cars
for the legends connected with Aul
Village or Mount Jumbo, uplifteri
from Boston may not be interestec
in anything else, so post up and b<
prepared to serve what is wranted. Ap
point yourself a committee of one oi
entertainment and entertain. Bi
courteous and at the same time so
ciable. If you learn the tourist ii
just passing through, tell him h<
must stay a week; and if he says hi
intends staying a week, tell him hi
should stay a month. Make him fee
he is the fellow you long have sough
and mourned for because you fount
him not, and maybe he w'on’t care i
he never goes away.

This is the time of year that tin
local citizen buys a few cents wort)

a large fishing outfit and hies himsel

Now that the sun shines brightly
and the voice of the whistler is heard
in the hills, our grouchiest citizen is
appearing on the streets with the
smile that won’t come off. Just a lit
tle sunshine after a winter of moon
shine makes all the difference in the
world.
Seward receives many well deserv
ed compliments over the neat appear
ance of her streets and buildings. It
pays to clean up and paint up.
Work on the Jesse Lee Home has
apparently started in earnest and an
army of workmen will swarm over
the site by this time next week. Rev.
Dunlap is as busy as a bee superin
tending the building operations and
apparently is enjoying the unusual
activities as much as the rest of us.
Within a few more days the road to
Kenai Lake wjll be open and the au
toist will get much pleasure out of
his car. There are many pretty
, camping spots on the lake road and
within the next few years we will see
dozens of summer cottages scattered
about the lake shores.
Teachers Leaving for
States on Next Boat
The Seward Public School term
ending Friday, June 5, practically all
of the teachers have planned their
summer itinerary and most of them
will be departing for the States on
one of the next boats. As far as is
known at this time they will all be
returning for the opening of school
next fall.
Miss Ruth Eccles, primary teacher,
and her mother, will remain in Sew
ard, according to present plans. Prof.
Guy Barnett and wife will also re
main in Seward. Miss Bettinini, who
teaches the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades,
will go to Vancouver, B. C., w’here
she will take the Canadian Pacific to
the East, thence to Chicago and then
back to Colorado, her home. Miss
Rousch, teacher of the commercial
' department, will spend the summer
attending the University of Washing
ton. Miss Ulleland, High school
teacher, will visit her home at Kent,
’ Washington. Miss Matthews, teacher
' of the sixth, seventh and eighth
’ grades will visit relatives in Iowa, re
: turing late in the summer.
Enjoyable Party Held
In Arcade Building
The apartments of Miss Eccles and
Miss Matthews, in the Arcade build
: ing, was the scene of a delightful
I party last evening, which lasted to a
late hour. The large number of
. guests passed a vote of thanks to the
charming hostesses and highly ap
proved the ability of Miss Rousch,
- who was responsible for the dainty
. luncheon and who presided as chef.
The guests included the Misses Ray,
, Balderston, Stotko and Mrs. Eccles;
. Messrs. Stump, Bailey, Shellhorn,
5 Blue, McLean, Johnson, Erwin and
j Rust.
The pupils of the first, second and
third grades of the Seward school,
enjoyed a picnic on the beach this aft
ernoon. Miss Eccles, teacher, was in
charge of the affair.

BEAUTIFUL SCENES
The show last night at the Liberty
was certainly worth while seeing, if
only for one reason, the colored por
tions. For years scientists have been
working on color photography and
lately many new improvements have
been added. Only once before has a
colored feature been shown in Sew
ard. There is about one reel of the
colored scenes in the play last night
but v.o see this one reel is worth the
pi Ice of the showT, tor it is very beau
tifui. We hope the day is near when
all movies will be showrn in the nat
ural colors. The picture is on again
tonight.
Dr. McQuean, superintendent of
Alaskan Missions of the Methodist
church is on the steamship Yukon
and will speak at the church Sunday
