BILL MOULTRAY
IS ACCUSED OF I
SAYS CONDITIONS HERE MUCH
BETTER THAN ALONG THE
LOWER COAST
At the recent luncheon of the Sew
ard Chamber of Commerce, W. E.
Moultray. Alaska manager for the
various Standard Oil plants and sta
tions, made a forcible talk on what
he believed was necessary for Sew
ard’s needs in order that it might be
come the center of commerce and in
dustry of this portion of Alaska. His
talk was of much interest and held the
attention of the members and guests
to the last.
“I have been accused many times
in the past,” Mr. Moultray said, ‘‘of
being a strong Seward booster. 1 ad
mit I have always leaned toward Sew
ard, but 1 am also interested in the
Interior, in Anchorage and points to
the westward, and I will continue to
boost these communities until the
last gun is fired.”
Referring to general business con
ditions, Mr. Moultray said conditions
in this district appear to be much bet
ter than in Southeastern Alaska, and
that Seward people especially, should
not complain about slack times. Con
ditions this year are not as good as
they were in 1924, he stated, but this
does not mean that at the present time
business is bad. He believes business
is much better in Seward than else
where along the Alaskan coast. Con
ditions in the Interior districts should
show a big increase next year on ac
count of the general activities of the
United Smelters Company’s entree in
the field. This naturally will mean
more business for Seward, he said.
The biggest stroke of good business
which Seward could accomplish would
be the procuring of the Alaska Signal
Corps headquarters, at present at
Valdez, but which will move within a
short time to this city, it is said. Mr.
Moultary declared that wherever first
class communication is found there
is where good, substantial general
business conditions are found and also
where commerce follows. He believes
the mail contract to the westward,
served by the steamer Starr, is the
biggest factor there is for Seward.

do not realize what a huge country is
served to the westward from this point
and what natural wealth is in the
district.
In conclusion he said he was glad
to be back in Seward again, if only
for a short time, for during his few
year’s stay here he found many true
friends, whom both Mrs. Moultray and
himself miss very much. “In Seattle
we have lived for months in an apart
ment house. Just the thickness of
a hand’s breadth is another apart
ment occupied by another couple, yet
during the many months we have been
residing there, we do not know yet
who our neighbors are. Yes, indeed,
we miss Alaska. The many things
missed by Alaskans residing here are
small in comparison with what one
misses when living in the States. You
folks have almost everything we have
and many others besides.”
MILEAGE RECORDED

In order that an accurate record
might be made of the round-the-world
trip by the German cyclist, Paul H.
Vogel, a recent visitor in Seward, the
bicycle manufacturer in Germany
who sponsors the world trip in which
three contestants, an American, an
Englishman and a German, are com
peting, have affixed three instruments
sealed inside of the frames and one
outside, to each of the bicycles.
On Vogel’s bike, which he road
about Seward streets a great deal,
during his short stay here, he had an
American and a German flag attach
ed to his handle bars. The bicycle it
self, weighed but 10 pounds. Vogel
weighed 154 pounds and is 28 years
old. He generally carries a pack with
him weighing 40 pounds. During the
world war he was in the German navy,
a member in the submarine service.
As a souvenir of the war he carries
six bullets in him, he stated

cultural College and School of Mines
