Administration Gold Bricks
When 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 Greenland.
Congress passed the Alaska Railroad Rill, $25,000,000, 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 $72,000,000.
Is it possible that President Wilson made a grave error in desig
nating Seward the One and Only Ocean Terminal of the Government
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
Government railroad you will develope Aluska ten fold. Sew aid is
getting her first real recognition this year from the Alaska Road ( om
mission as Congress in its wisdom saw fit to appropriate the reason
able sunt of $500,000 for wagon roads and trails. If congress recogniz
ed the true conditions in Alaska they would unhesitatingly vote $1,000,
000 annually for that purpose.—Why even British Columbia appropri
ate $3,000,000 annually for Wagon Roads.
If we can afford to spend $130,000,000 to catch one lone Greaser,
we ought to have no trouble in getting one million dollars annually for
the next ten years.—For Wagon Roads.
In the meantime while the political pot is boiling, it will pay you
to call cn the Seward Commercial Co., and see what they have to olTer
in the way of Bargains in Merchandise. Don’t forget the famous
Universal Stoves and Ranges. Victrolas and Victor Records, every
thing for the Home or Trail. Don’t forget Seward’s Fair Week, under

that the prize had been awarded in
the baby contest. It was not awarVled
and will not be until Friday evening
at the Fair. It transpires that after
the measurements, etc., of the infan

mathematical process must be pursued
before judgment can be rendered.
These are big words to use in talking
about tiny creatures, by the way, but
they state a fact. The ladies regret
that misunderstandings might arise
from the statement that the prize was
awarded and the paper hastens to ex
press regret in turn for being the un

should be newspaper editors.
