Mc. Margu- les decares that when he went out, one heard little of Seward, but upon his return everyone in Seattle was talking Seward, and believes it is des- tined to become one of the greatest towns in Alaska.
 Seward has a good chance to get to be the capital of Alaska" said MT Margules. Tt may require a little work. but the time is ripe for change as the center of population is rapidly moving northward, and Alaskans de sire the seat of the territorial govern ment mover farther to the northwaro'

 "The Chicago papers are ardent boosters for Alaska, and hardly day passes but what some article concern ing the territory and its resources is published and given wide circulation"
 While in Seattle Mr. Ma1gules at tended the Alaska Fisheries Day ban ouet, at the Arctic Club, December 5, and was we'll entertained by number of old time Alaskans.
