team of malamutes.

Blazer, a trade journal issued by
Brown & Hawkins Corp., contains sev
eral stories and editorials from the pen
of John E. Meals, who is acquiring
considerable reputation as a writer.
Mr. Meals has one especially fine ar
ticle, “Alaska Rich in Legend and
Story,” which is reproduced in another
column of today’s paper.
With the section between Third and
Fourth streets on Railroad avenue be
ing parked, Seward will have three of
the finest parks in the Territory ,and
spots which set the town off as no
other means could do so. With the
prizes offered by the Woman’s Club
and the merchants for handsome gar
dens, in connection with the general
trend to beautify the city, Seward will j
have on her best bib and tucker by j
the time the tourists arrive.
Gerhard Johnson who solved the
problem of moving his concrete home |
off the mountain side by rolling it
down hill, is getting the building in
shape for moving. The structure was
not damaged in any particular by its
long tumble, which speaks well for
Mr. Johnson’s ability as a cement
worker.
To become the proud owner of one
of the finest cars in town, an Oldsmo
