HAMMERS RING ALL DAY AS SEWARD
 GROWS APACE.
Alaska Railroad Terminal Now Has Cluster Lights and Carpenters
 Clutter Landscape with Buildings.
By J. J. Underwood.

Seward, Alaska, isn't trying to put on any side, or anything of that kind. It's simply progressing into the most metropolitan city in the North. It has cluster lights strung along it's streets-fve lights to the cluster, just the same as Seattle-it has cement sidewalks on its mau' streets; it is building a big hospital and a large hotel, with hot and cold water in every room and every car penter in the town is working over time on other structures. If New York isn't careful it will be thrown into the discard along with other way side villages.
 At least that is the impression con- veyed by B. M. Stone, owner and pub fisher of the Seward Daily Gateway and the All-Alaska Review, the only magazine published in the North. With Mrs. Stone, he is registered at the Hotel Rainier Grand, on his way to the expositions in California.
 "Why the hammers of the carpen- ters make SC much racket night and day." said Stone, "that one can hard ly hear oneself speak. For the past month the city has been growing so fast it got on our nerves and we had to make trip to recuperate.
 Building Plans Galore.
 "After the government agreed to buy the Alaska Northern and make Seward the terminal, business was good for a little while, and then came lull. But about a month ago, the government took actual possession, and lot of engineers came around making soundings and obtaining sites for naval base. Then business boomed in deadly earnest. Seward decided it was going to be a metropo- lis. The streets were cemented, spec ial arc lights were imported, hotel foundations were dug out, and every body had a plan for new building.
 Just about the time the building boom began, mining also began to boom. Billy Martin cleaned up $lOO,- 900 in the Willow Creek district, and Dick Dawson came in with big poke from Glacier; the Guggenheim en- gineers began work on Kenai River preparatory to big dredging opera tions; Felix Brown bonded number of claims in the Moose Pass country; N. c. Tynen, a wealthy Canadian, pur- chased lot of property at Old Knik, and has gone to California for ma chinery, and altogether everything is lovely.
 "There is a lot of placer ground about Seward and any number of small quartz veins that carry good value. The railroad will make these available to development and the right kind of people are taking them up."
 Stone was in the newspaper busi- ness at Nome several years ago, but left in 1906 and went to the South Sea Islands and Australia. He was in New Zealand when he learned that the Alaska railroad bill had passed, and came back to the North. The All-Alaska Magazine, a venture which he shares with J. J. McGrath, pub fishes matter dealing with the entire territory, and is perhaps the most widely read journal in the North Seattle Times, Sept. 26.)
