FLAGSHIP YUKON
ARRIVES SEWARD
LARGE TONNAGE
BIG VESSEL SLIPS INTO PORT
FROM SOUTH WITH NUMBER
PASSENGERS ABOARD
The steamer Yukon was a beauti
ful sight coming up Resurrection bay
last night, ablaze with lights from
bow to sitern, which reflection from
the calm unruffled waters, with
flashes from the green and Vermil
lion riding lights, intermingling, cre
ated a marine scene a pleasure to
behold. Then the brilliant and pene
trating rays of the powerful search
light were ahead of the vessel, turn
ing night into day, and at, 8:30 sharp
Captain Charles A. Glasscock, skill
fully slid into the berth alongside
the Seward wharf with a tremor to
vessel or dock, completing an ideal
voyage North from Seattle.
The vessel brought a number of
passengers for this port, and there
are also aboard, many rountrippers.
Over 1G00 tons of cargo came to
this port from the south of which
the major portion will be transferred
to the Redondo which is due to ar
rive tomorrow morning from the
Westward. About 500 tons will be
shipped into the Interior for down
the Tanana and Yukon river points.
Due to the large amount of cargo
and the huge shipment of canned
fish the Redondo is bringing from
Westward canneries and salteries,
it is not expected the Yukon will
get away for the south before late
Monday.
The following pasengers were book
ed thru to Seward from Seattle:
J. Pelzel, Helen Chovin, Mrs. P.
Reed, Mrs. S. E. Smith, Mary A.

Kenai-Seward Highway
Unexcelled for Beauty
If “Allah” is with the round-trip
tourists who arrived in town last
night on the steamer Yukon, and
the sun shines ’neverything, no doubt
many of them will take advantage of
the opportunity to auto a genuine
scenic automobile highway, the Sew
ard-Lake Kenai road of 20 miles in
length, one way. The trip is one of
beauty, winding in and out of the
valleys alongside towering snow-cap
ped peaks, round sparkling lakes and
babbling streams. And the fishing
is unexcelled.
Announcement is made that a new
baby airplane will soon be marketed

WILLOW CREEK
IS OPTIMISTIC
LARGE CLEANUP FROM WILLOW
CREEK DISTRICT ARRIVE
IN SEWARD SHORTLY
Harry Yago, well known in Seward
as a restauranter, with his brother
Tony, returned to town Thursday
from a three niomths’ prospecting trip
in the Wellow Creek district, they
being the owners of the Willow Creek
Miqing company. The brothers left
Seward May 2 for their holdings and
did considerable assessment work,
developing the property to such an
extent as to assure themselves of its
value.
Some years ago Mr. Yago and his
brother drove a tunnel for 600 feet
into the hill which bore out good pay,
but they not being satisfied with
the workings drove another tunnel,
115 feet about 15 feet below the big
hole. The mine is located at the
head of Willow Creek, between the
Gold Bullion and Betty Martin claims,
both the latter have been producing
steadily for years.
Referring to the Gold Bullion, Mr.
Yago stated This mine was being
operated at full blast and that about
80 men are on the payroll. Milo
Kelly’s mine, near by, closed down
this season.
Mrs. Yago left Seward a week ago
to join her husband at Willow Creek,
returning here with her husband
Thursday. He feels quite optimistic
over the future development of his
property. Ore, he said, ran $83 a
ton w’ith an outlook very promising.
There have been a number of large
cleanups in the district recently, all
of which will shortly pass thru Sew
ard on its way to Outside depositor
ies.

Cheaper Beer Urged
By British Brewers As
Unemployment Aid
BRIGHTON, Auk. 26. (/P)—Cheap
er beer has been suggested as one
remedy for the unemployment in En
gland that has been bothering suc
cessive governments since the war
ended.
At the annual meeting of stock
holders of a large brewery recently
the chairman said that the country
was still overburdened with taxation
and that the crying demand today
was for cheaper beer, which, he con
tended, could only be given by re
ducing the tax upon that beverage.
The chairman said that there are
very few, including members of ttye
government, who realize the number
of industries which are dependent
upon the brewery trade, and that re
duced taxation on beer would not
only assist agriculture, but would go
some way to meet the unemployment
problem.
The special train leaving Seward
•tomorrow' for Anchorage, departs at
8 o’clock. Monday’s train leaves at
7:30 a. m. Beginning Monday the
fall and winter train schedule goes
into effect. Trains will depart on
Mondays and Thursdays for the In

the Interior trains will arrive on
Wednesdays and Saturdays. The Sun
