SEWARD Is PROGRESSING SPIRIT 0F ITs CITIZENS
 EXCELLENT, DR. ROM|C

Applause greeted the announcement
 at yesterdays Chamber of Commerc,
 luncheon and business meeting tha
 Dr. Romig, noted Alaska physician
 and surgeon, was to address the
 gathering. As President Urbach re
 marked, Dr. Romig has been residine
 at various points on the Alaska Rail
 road for some years past, but due tc
 the fact that he was for many years one of Stewards most prominent citi
 zens, also that many of his business interests are here, Sewardites will ever call him one.
 T am glad to be here and am also glad that you had luncheon and meeting today so that I could meet you business men of Seward who are constantly on the watch First of all l wish to compliment. you on your excellent newspaper. It is a wonder ful asset to the community and cer- tainly must be appreciated. In my opinion, and in the opinion I have heard expressed elsewhere, the Sew ard Gateway is the best paper in Alas ka
 T want to take this opportunity of mentioning my appreciation of the as- ststance of pr. Nelson in these local cases. You should see him work under fire. I hope that he decides to come back again sometime for he is all wool and yard wide.
 T notice many changes for the bet ter in Seward and everything wears a prosperous look. You folks should Keep after trying to get hospital for there is no reason why you should be paying tribute to some other town. ] You need an institution of this sort badly and f1om the standpoint of business thousands of dollars now lowing out of town will remain here. food schools, churches, and hospitals Ire three of the most vital elements n the up building of town or cum nunity. In my opinion if you build
 new school on the proposed site, n excellent location, I would sug- est you turn the present school house 1to hospital. It would be bet 9r location than the one on the creek.
 The growth of aviation In the h. 7rior has been enormous and where ompanies started under difficult cir ], financial and otherwise, le business is steadily increasing to lat point to where now it is on the olid footing and paying investment hough the coast towns are not so ell geographically situated for the eed of air traffic, as in the Interior. at there are many opportunities here. | l Fairbanks every week patients are irving, via air, from outlying dis Il jets And aside from the many pas Il 'ngers being constantly carried to Ii Id fro, large freight business is me.

II le big activities in the Interior are H und to help Seward and during the H st few years the Interior has seen = arked increase in substantial busi- - ss.

COOCH'S BRIDGE HOLDS CLAIM
Flag First Unfurled in Battle There
Despite the Stanwix Dispute

The War Department has reversed
its position, taken last summer, that
the flag displayed at Fort StanwiX,
n. Y, August 3, 1777, had Stars and
Stripes, and now announces that such
was not the case. Secretary of War
Davis declared this opinion in a letter
written a few days ago to Senator
Bayard, wherein he states: ''The War
Department has reached the conclu-
sion that the flag that was unfurled
BY the Americans at Fort Schuyler,
formerly Fort Stanwix, August 3,1777
was not the Stars and Stripes" Sec
retary Davis decision was reached
after an investigation in regard to
the Stanwix flag, made by the Histor-
ical Section Of the American War
College. A similar position recently
was taken BY Postmaster General
New, in refusing an application on
behalf Of Fort Stanwix for a special
postage stamp commemorating the
claimed use Of the flag. No applica-
tion was made for a flag stamp for
Cooch's Bridge The claim of the lat
question, but is affected in 50 far az
Fort Stanwix IL eliminated Az a rival.
III refusing to issue a flag stamp, the
Postmaster General consented to issue
this year a stamp commemorative Of
the 15Oth anniversary Of the battles
of Fort Stanwix, Oriskany, Benning-
ton and Saratoga. The Delaware Sol
ciety Sons of the American RevolG-
tion Fly cooperating with the Pennsyl-
vania Society in the request for a
similar stamp for thu 15Oth anniver-
saries of Cooch's Bridge, Brandywine,
Germantown and Valley Forge.
