 Seward a, k well known. is Iiuat- ed on the west side and within one mile of the extreme head of RcWrec- ton Bay. The townsite k located on a gradual slope beginning at the base of the mountain on the west nd n- ciiued toward the east and soutf tothe waters edge. as the town,ite in a measure iutS out into the harbu, it k bounded on the east and south by the waters of Resurrection Bay
 Lowell creek, quite a large noun tain stream, flows from west 20 east through the town little north of the center. TO give some idea of tLn tall, which in the future will be use.u' for sewerage purposes, elevation, along this stream are given. It should be here stated that Jefferson, cross street loo feet in width, is w.verSed by Lowell creek, and that in the course of time this stream will be box eel in and covered over
 Beginning on First avenue, on the west side of the JownsiJe, the elevation is l25 feet above low tide, Sec5ndavc- nue llO feet, Third avenue loo feet, Fourth avenue so feet, Fifth avenue 60 feet, Sixth avenue 45 feet, Seventh avenue 30 feet.

Alleys 20 feet ih width run from north to south, The blocks are wo feet Dorth and south by 20 feet east and west.
 The soil k gravelly, inSming Splen- did drainage, which is quite necessary in this moist climate. Regarding timber, it should be remarked that that which recently covered the townsite was of second growth, the first oaving been cut by the Russians about l37 years ago, and was made up into lum- ber for the purpose of building ships. a number having been construced in this harbor. Such trees as spruce. hemlock, birch balm of gilliai and cottonwood are the kinds to be found here. Native fruits are hucklel5lTies. Alaskan cranberries, high and low bush, and red currents, much larger and finer than those cultivated,
 The townsite company own the water system. Water k taken rom a stream southwest of town and is carried by gravity to points required Next year this important auxiliary to a growing town will be greatly improved.
