Seward is losing a tremendous amount of publicity throughout the nation because no airplane activities center here.

We have one of the best fields in the Territory but to date not a plane has used it. It's about time concerted action was taken to have a plane operating out of Seward.

We see by the papers where Seattle and San Francisco are still scrapping over the claim of being the pivot city from whence the Alaska and Klondike gold rushes started.

Seattle claims to be the gateway to Alaska. Well, Seward claims to be the gateway to Interior Alaska. What do you think of that!
