} O. SAWYER, JR., former city editor of The Star, now located in Seward, Alaska, left that city Saturday night with a dog team to mush in to Ship Creek, from ¢ whence the government is to start actual construction of the Seward-to-Fairbanks railroad. Sawyer’s camera and Sawyer’s typewriter will be on the job for The Star. They will give Star readers an intimate knowledge of just how Uncle Sam is going about this big job, and of what it is going to mean to the North, and of WHAT IT IS GOING TO MEAN TO SEATTLE. ; Are You Going to Move?

The 26 millions will open up the way to 26 billions. And Seattle is the gateway through which this wealth must flow. Seattle is bound to reap the harvest.’ Al- ready, in the first preparations for the con- struction work, large quantities of supplies are being bought in Seattle. This year alone there will be expended $2,000,000 on con- struction work. No fleeting, vanishing boom is this new magic of Alaska. For 20 years to come, and for 20 years thereafter, and then on to the end of time probably, Seattle will continue to prosper in proportion to the development of Al Never so It will be gradual, permanent prosperity. The impetus given Seattle and the growth of the city following the discovery of gold in Alaska are scarcely to be compared with this new momentum for better times. Seattle, Queen City of the West, the threshold of its greatest prosperity.
