SEWARD LEADING ALASKA SEAPORT
 FIGURES PROVE
TEN PER CENT INCREASE NOTED
 IN TONNAGE LAST YEAR

More commercial freight was receiv- ed over the Seward wharf the past year (1925) than at any other port in Alaska. This is not hazardous state ment but a statement which figures, recently computed and made public by the Alaska Railroad to The Gateway bore out in comparison of other Alas ka ports. On top of this the figures show that the year of 1925 showed an increase of ten per cent over that of the preceding year, 1924; TO. cE,y in imports but exports as well.
 Furthermore, the Seward wharf an nual reports bring out the fact that the above findings do not include the San Juan Fishing and Packing Compa- ny, the Stadard Oil plant, nor yet the tonnage handled over the floating dock and what may be lightered ashore, but only what is checked over the wharf direct. And yet, without con- sidering the three other sources al- ready mentioned, the port business in Seward exceeds that of any other sea- port in the Territory, including there fore of course, Ketchikan and Juneau.
 Here are the local figures; freight imports in tons over the government wharf for the calendar year 1924, was approximated at 20156.36. The ex- ports for the same period totaled B. 170.16,
 Freight imports in tons over the wharf for the calendar year 1925 in- cluding November imports amounted to 32,917.59. The exports amounted to 4144.S7.
 Freight imports in tons over the Se- ward wharf for the calendar year 1925, including November imports amount ed to 32,917.59. The exports amount ed to 4,144.87.
 The decrease in exports is explain ed when it is stated the silver-lead ore from Mayo was shipped thru this port in 1924 but last year via Skag- way.
 It is learned the local Standard Oil plant imported during the calendar year of 1925 about $500 tons and ex- ports for the same period totaled in the neighborhood of 1,50O.
 ryl,o Con T,op icb opJ Do Company's local plant during the fis- cal year of 1925 imported about 2,O00 tons while the exports, for the same period amounted to approximately 1800 tons.
 It is stated one might be led to be- lieve that this large tonnage over the dock is for the Alaska Railroad. It is true a great deal of it is but it must be figured that practically all of this tonnage is consumable and not for construction purposes. Construction days on the Alaska Railroad are long over.
 These figures are made public by The Gateway to merely point out Se- ward is progressing, perhaps slowly in the minds of man, but nevertheless the solid advancement is apparent when one hesitates for a moment and reflects.
 Thru the seaport of Seward con- Stantly flows shinments of cOmmOdi- ties billed to the vast Interior and, likewise, to the westward communi- ties which are likened to an infant at the present writing.
