Many problems arising will be smoothed out and ad- justed, and greater cooperation Secur- ed between the shipper and the rail- way. New ideas and new business will be developed, and Seward will be enabled to approach the railway man. agement from a different viewpoint.
 Seward is on the eve of greater progress than at any time in her his tory It remains for our citizens to take advantage of their opportunity.

It has the great halibut banks at it's door, and unlimited water power and pulp timber in it's immediate vicinity. It has an open water port the year around, and shipping facilities to han de everything presented.
 By meeting the railway board in al spirit of cooperation and not with theI spirit of lfaggrandizement, we will be the gathers in the long run. Today marks the turning point in Stewards future. We can make or mar its pro- gross.
