HERE IS WHAT GENERAL
SHERMAN SAID ABOUT WAR
I confess without shame that I am
tired and sink of war. Its glory is all
moonshine Kven success the most
brilliant is over dead and inangled
bodies the anguish and lamentation of
distant families appealing to me for
missing sons, husbands and fathers
It is only those who have not heard
a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans
of the wounded and lacerated, that
cry aloud for more blood, more ven
geance more desolation. War Is hell’

Facts About [Nome for Tourists
Ww ( LIMATK ( >F SKW \KD I’KXIXSl LA p
The impression is general among thost who have i o > i visited this
section of Alaska, that because of close proximity t" the \retie ( ircle.
Seward Peninsula must of necessity partake of the characteristic of
the Frigid Zone. This idea is partially confirmed by the photographs,
usually depicting some midwinter scene, which are sent by thousands
^ to friends on the "Outside."
d It is truly unfortunate that the same medium cannot be made to
xltow the true beauties of the land in tlu open season anil thu i;~
sipate the erroneous ideas disseminated by writers of romance of the
"blood and iron" school backed up by portraits which we <»tu>e!v.
^^d furnish in profusion.
It is doubtless striking a blow at the root of a cherished belief to
state that Seward Peninsula possesses 117 varieties of flowering plant
life and over 2.000 species, including the various muss and fungus
^ growths.
d So soon as the snows have melted the change from ' winter s
hoary coat" to the green verdure of summer is almost magical. This
transition is so sudden that, on the sunny slopes, delicate A wer are
frequently found in close proximity to belated snow banks I he
almost continuous sunshine causes a marvelous acceleration of
growth in all fornix of plant life.
Turnip, lettuce, radishes, onions, kale, spinach, and other varieties
W of the hardier vegetables develop with marvelous rapidity and are of
di a most surpassing quality because of their rapid growth. Potatoes
r ^ and cabbage mav be grown by proper selection of soil and seed.
\ From early May'until \ugust the day light is continuous and al
£ though the sun sinks, for some three hours, below the horizon there
c A vet lingers a beautiful mellow twilight.
The summer season A short, it is true but the verdant splendors
of the long summer days amply compensate for the longer wintei
j which, while cold is not so severe as is generally imagined liy main
Jtew the winter season 1- looked upon as the most enjoyable part of the
/| year.
r I he w inter season is the great play time of the Northern
\ people. Dances, fairs, theatricals and indoor atheletic sports contri
£ bate much to the social life while skiing and sleighing behind dog
.A team> are forms of outdoor amusement much indulged in by both xcn
In general tile people live quite as conifnrtable in the w inter ax those
of more salubrious climes.
