NEWS NOTES
Miss Elizabeth R. Romig will leave
with the Hubbards to spend a few
days visiting with them.
H. H. Hildreth is a much older pio
neer than any of those w ho came on
the Santa Ana Mayflower. He ar
rived here first on March 1~, ISAS.
He speaks, by the way, of a celebra
tion in the early days here in the
Brown Jc Hawkins hall which was lix
ed up to represent a roadhouse. The
stairway was packet! with brush
through which the guests hat! to break
a way and when they turned around
they found themselves confronted
with that classic and historic Alaskan
phrase “L)-n the brush.”
It is Captain Mehatfey now, not
Lieutenant, for the tall and dashing
member of the Alaska lload Commis
sion has received promotion. This
news was received today with the in
formation that came to Anton Eide
that the altitudinous young warrior
will arrive here on the Evans tonior
row. He is coming on business con
nected with the roads.
Vic Ciuimbard has just killed a fine
young moose and brought him to Car
ale os.
Young Jack Sauers really did kili
a moose out near Kenai lake last Sun
day, the day before yesterday.
Jack Ronan came in from Moose
Pass this morning and will go out
again tomorrow. He and Bennett
James have the arrastre in operation
but they have not yet made a cleanup.
Attention has been drawn to the
fact that the hall was decorated la.-t
night perhaps more beautifully than
at any other time since it was built.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hubbard arc
in the city for a few days on business
from the mine. Mr. Hubbard, a."
usual, will not permit the publication
of any news about his property but
that he is staying there and constant
ly at work speaks volumes.
It has been reported that when the
hat of Carl Lodje was found after he
had fallen from the wharf it Wad blood
stains on it. This is not stateiT offici
ally but the fact that the man was
know n to have a sum of money on his
person is enough to create a suspici
ous feeling. Indeed, he rather open
ly declared that he had the money.
Many are now waiting for the ninth
day after the accident as that is the
reriod popularly supposed to be re
quired to cause a drowned body to
doat.
The dance last night was Very
pleasant. This can be said about most
dances in Seward, of course, and there
is no news in the statement but last
night’s dance did really, everyone
thinks, have an unusually pleasant
quality. As many men art* busy at
this time of the year the sterner sex
was in a minority last evening and
this was a blessing for some of them.
Kay Farrington has arrived in the
city for a business visit.

(Special to Gateway by United Press)
DKTROIT, August 16.—Detroit—|
political battleground of the nation!
Such it is today. For the first time In
its history the issues of a great cam
paign are being fought out by the,
leaders in this citv of the middle west.
Roosevelt started the tide of battle
Detroitward when he came here to
preach preparedness.
President Wilson selected the City
of the Straights for his most import
ant address of the pre-campaign
period.
Charles Kvans Hughes launched his
! campaign for the Presidency here
August 7.
Ask Michigan politicians why and
the answer almost invariably is:
“Ford.”
Roosevelt came to tight the anti
militaristic movement that crystalliz

Administration (»old Bricks |
IWhen Roosevelt was President the Danish West Indies could have
been purchased for $5,000,000. The present administration has no
hesitancy in paying $25,000,000, besides throwing in all American dis
covery rights in (ireenland.
Congress passed the Alaska Railroad Bill, $.‘15,000,000, for the
construction of 1,000 miles of railroad. At the present rate of con
struction. the cost of 1,000 miles would aggregate $110,000,000 and re
quire 20 years to build.
The Canadian government attempted and did build a railroad from
Moncton, Canada, at a cost of $174,000,000, while the engineers’ esti
mates for the work was $72,000,0^0.
Is it possible that President Wilson made a grave error in desig
nating Seward the One and Only Ocean Terminal of the (Jovernment
Railroad instead of Anchorage?
Did it ever occur to Delegate Wickersham that every knock
against the Alaska Road Commission is a boost and belittles his
chances politically? With wagon roads and trails tributary to the X
Government railroad you will develope Alaska ten fold. Seward is c>
getting her first real recognition this year from the Alaska Road ( oni- Cl
mission as Congress in its wisdom saw fit to appropriate tin* reason- Cl ^
able sum of $500,000 for wagon roads and trails. If congress recogniz- g
ed the true conditions in Alaska they would unhesitatingly vote $1,000,- V
000 annually for that purpose.—Why even British Columbia appropri- V
ate $3,000,000 annually for Wagon Roads. 8
If we can afford to spend $130,000,000 to catch one lone Greaser, 8
we ought to have no trouble in getting one million dollars annually for 8
the next ten years.—For Wagon Roads. <[>
In the meantime while the political pot is boiling, it will pay you <J|
to call en the Seward Commercial Co., and see what they have to oiler
in the way of Bargains in Merchandise. Don’t forget the famous g
Universal Stoves and Ranges. Victrolas and Victor Records, every- g
thing for the Home or Trail. Don’t forget Seward’s Fair Week, under g
the direction of the Womens’ Club of Seward. 0

od appearance in the results of the
presidential primaries.
Wilson picked Detroit as the place j
for his address on Mexican relations.
Politicians believe he picked Detroit]
because he recognized it as a repre- j
tentative industrial center.
Then came Hughes, selecting De
li oit as the scene of his first move in
the actual campaign. The motive of
’he republican nominee in picking the
;a tomobile city was practical politics.
Michigan was the first state in the
union to declare definitely ' for the
ex-just ice.
A battle royal for Michigan’s im
mense Progressive vote also is indi
cated by the actions of the two
nominees. Normally Michigan is re
publican by 50,000 but four years ago
jtlie Progressives revived the popular
verdict, polling more than ‘2P1.000
votes, or nearlv .‘»1> per cent of the
total.
The light for control of this Pro
gressive element promises to devclope
into one of the feature rounds of the
campaign.
