 The best index of towns prosperity is reflected through Its daily newspaper and the merchants of Seward nave shown in substantial way they are willing to SUD- port such an enterprise with the result that the issuance ot the Daily Gateway is to be resumed just as soon as the necessary office help can be secured

 And this commendable Seward spirit prompts us to call attention to the fact that there number of ad vertsers in Cordova who are not contributing their share towards the support of the Daily Tmes which is an elghpage paper with excellent Associated Press service and generally recognized of the best papers printed in Alaska Those who are clamorng most about the depression in business the ones who fail to support their newspaper which is always aborng for the the upbuiding of the town Mr. Advertiser you bet ter give this matter little consideration and when our solicitor calls you be prepared to do your part towards keeping Cordova on the map:-Cordova Daily Times.
