IH SEMI GUY
Seward Paper Indorse* Plan of Rev.
Price and Other Valdez Citi
zens for. Harmony.
The following article is reprinted
from the Seward Gateway and shows
that the people of the westward town
are alive to the advantages of get to
gether meetings, such as was held In
Valdez recently. The article follows:
“On Thursday night last the citizens
of Valdez held a get-together meet
ing in the school house in that city
and everybody, regardless of political
preferences or church affiliatiois, was
invited, and attended. The meeting
was addressed by the Hon. F. M.
Brown, judge of the Third judicial di
vision, and other prominent citizens.
“What an inspiration! A get-to
gether meeting. A meettajf where all
can attend and have a Word to say.
Why can’t Seward emulate the action
of Valdez? Why not get together and !
lay aside all political differences and |
get together and boost our little city?
Show to the world that Seward is just
what she is—the only logical place in
Southwestern Alaska for the coast
terminal for the government railroad j
that will surely be built in the near j
future, and 'or which $40,000,000 will I
be appropriated. Think what this
means for Seward and this part of
Alaska. Fully $20,000,000 of this mon -
ey will be paid for material and la
bor which will come to our very doors
if we but get together and show Mr.
Wilson the great advantages that
Seward has over all her contempor
aries.
‘Unless it can be shown that the
citizens of Seward are wide-awake,
working shoulder to shoulder in a
common cause, determined to secure
this coveted prize, our sister cities
will surely rrtake capital out of the
fact in their mad efforts to sain their
point.
"Leslie’s Weekly of Nov. 27, con
tains a full page illustrated adver
tisement for the city of Cordova, and
while it is certainly a work of art
from a typographical standpoint, the
assertion is made nevertheless as
many others coming from that city in
regard to Cordova beeom'ng the ocean
terminal from the coast to the Yu
kon.
"Read the following item taken from
the advertisement and then ask your
self this question: Is it not time for
the citizens of Seward to get togeth
er?
“ ‘The government’s seal of approv
al has been placed upon the port of
Cordova by the Alaska Railroad Com -
mission. It has an immense advan
tage over the rival ports of Seward
and Valdez in that its harbor is free
from the terrific winds that sweep
down from the mountains of the
southern coast and tear ships loose
from their moorings. Cordova, for
this and other good reasons, will prob
ably be the ocean terminal of a trunk
line railway from the coast to the,
Yukon.’
“Now wouldn’t that satisfy tfee most
bitter enemy M Seward? Listen!
Why, only a week or so ago a wind
gpHne -down ihroagii The Copper vivel"
Euiyon which, according to the OOr
Bva Alaskan (the journal tbat cle
fts e most of the wind hi tbat region).
Blew down stove pipm, ohhuneys, ev
en Upsetting sidewalks and blockading 1
the streets. Even the citizens of Val
dez, the glacier city, had to laugh
when their attention tvas called to the
statement made in the Leslie’s ^Veek
ly adv. *
“That is not the way Seward will
get the railway terminal It is un
necessary to point out the many ob
stacles that will have to be overcome
should an effort be made to build the
road, from Cordova. Seward has all
the natural advantages, and President
Wilson is probably fully aware of tbe '

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—The news
from Paris that President Poincare
has discussed unofficially with M. j
Jusserand and Mr. Herrick the possi- i
bility of paying a visit to this coun- ,
try was received with much interest ]
in Washington today.
Instances have been rare of visits
to this country from sovereigns or
heads of republics. Dorn Pedro, then
emperor of Brazil, attended the Phila -
delphia Centennial in 187H, and came
on to Washington, and was cordially ;
received by President Grant.
In President Taft's administration ‘
Don l’orfirio Diaz, president of Mex
ico crossed the Itio Grande at El
Paso and called on Mr. Taft. Mr. Taft
returned the courtesy in Juarez.
Since Mr. Wilson was inaugurated
the only sovereign to visit this coun
try was the Prince of Monaco. He
was here unofficially on a hunting
trip, and was received informally at
I he White House.
In none of these cases, except at
Juarez, has the President of the Un
ited States returned a visit, though
boj^h President Pa ft and President
Roosevelt, on trips to the Panama
Cakal, crossed the bouhtlary and paid
ih^lr respects to the President o>
Panama. * ,— _ -
fact, and the Gateway does not hesi
tate to say that it believes that Sew
ard will be named a*, the coast term
inal of the great railway system that
will connect us with the rich and
fertile, interior country. The citizens
of Seward must get together and by
their united efforts counteract any at
tempt of our enemies to rob us of the
grand prize that is now within our
grasp.”
