IMPROVEMENTS CONTINUING
The Overland hotel presents a
marked improvements in it’s exterior
as the result of Leo Margules, pro
prietor of the establishment, having
a wrecking crew tear down the par
quet which has adorned the building
for many years. New windows have
been placed in position on the second
floors and the next step to make this
hostelry one of the most attractive in
Seward will be when the crew of
plasterers attack the building pre
paratory to administering a coat of
stucco.
NORTHWESTERN’S TONNAGE
The S. S. Northwestern, which
arrived in port today from Se
attle, will discharge about 600 tons

Kenai peninsula is rightly called
the game incubator of Alaska. Also,
within its confines flows Russian river
which might well be named, the rain-1
bow trout hatchery of the world. The
peninsula covers a wide area of en-1
trancement for it would be extremely
difficult to surpass the marvelous po
tential resources of it’s wild game,
mining, fur farming, agricultural and
tourist possibilities. The scenery is
utterly different from the ordinary,
and one particular region contains
much historical lore dating back to j
the hundreds of years ago when thou
sands of Russian exile* and prisoner#
lived in the land. Under the old
Czar regime of Russia convicts were
dispatched in shackle* to the salt
mines of Siberia while others were
exiled to Kenai. Trace- of their habi- j
tations yet remain, th >ugh in places,
barely discernible.
Scattered throughout Kena lak~
and Russian river country fox fur
farms dot the landscape. Though *he
industry is yet in its infancy it s fu
ture appears exceedingly bright. Sil
ver fox is the predominate fur.
Of mining activities one placer
camp may soon be in operation ac
cording to present indications. In the
early days of Russian occupation the
placer ground was worked extensive
ly. The quartz possibilities are like
wise very promising.
The soil is particularly aaaptible
for agricultural purposes, crops of all I
kinds attaining a delicious flavor, and I
size, with little care. Due to the lux- j
urious growth of native berries, roots. '
grass and shrubbery, foraging is a
simple task for wild game. Every
resident in the region, with few excep
tions. grow all varieties of vegetables.1
To the tourist and visitor the gran
deur of the scenery is unforeectable.
Rugged upthrusts of jagged peaks
penetrating feathery clouds vie with
towering mountains capped with
snow; tumbling snow streams fall i
gracefully from dizzy heights; the i
ever changing shore lines of Kenai
lake, and the lowlands, profuse with
