SEWARD. ALASKA. SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1915.
The Alaska Road Commission has been receiving some roasts down in
the First division because of the decision of Colonel Richardson to withold
appropriations for road building there until he saw the result of the suit
pending for the forest funds. Some of the First division people, however, are |
looking at the matter in a broader manner as can be seen by the following
editorial remark in the Juneau Frnpire:
“While there is little or no division of sentiment in Southeastern Alaska
as to the moral right of this Division to the $30,000 that was appropriated to
it earlier in the year by the Alaska Board of Road Commissioners, it must
not be taken for granted by those of other Divisions that the people of South
eastern Alaska are up in arms against Col. Richardson or any other member
of the commission. The people of this Division understand very well that
Col. Richardson is being pressed hard for roads in all sections of Alaska. (
They understand, further, that the destruction of the files and records of
the commission in the Valdez fire has been a serious blow, and one that can
not fail to be a serious handicap to it in the work for the present summer. 1
The people of the First Division have been accustomed to seeing a large part
of their license taxes expended in the other divisions, and they have done
little or no protesting. They have not asked tor any share of the go\crn
ment’s general appropriations for road purposes in Alaska. The> have
recognized the greater need for roads in other sections of Alaska, and there j
is little of narrow ness of spirit in this section of the Territory."
If it is a fact that Russia is contemplating the abandonment of Petro
grad matters look terribly serious for the allied cause, and there is no doubt
that there is some foundation to the story as it comes from London, h riords
of the allies seem to take hope from the remembrance of Napoleon’s fate at
Moscow. They think that again Generals Janvier and Fevrier will come to
the aid of the Muscovite empire while the enemy is buried away fax from
his frontiers in their cold grip. Rut Napoleon had no railroads. That is the
great difference between that time and the present.
WANTS GOVERNMENT TO
PI RCH VSE BIG NTGGET
OTTAWA. July 15.—W. A. Blair,
secretary of the Board of Trade at
Vancouver, has wired Hon. Louis Co
derre. secretary of state and minister
of mines, urging that the huge gold
nugget recently found in the En
gineers’ group of Atlin, B. C., be pur
chased by the government.
The nugget is 36 inches long, 18
inches wide, two inches deep, and is
valued at $40,000. Mr. Blair states
that the San Francisco fair directors
have offered $2,000 for the loan of the
nugget, no doubt, he states, to exploit
Alaska.

LOST FOUR YEARS, j
George Kosmos last night received
a letter from Archy Mpugikos in
Greece, which cleared up the mystery
o fthe latters disappearance in 1911.
Mr. Mpugikos disappeared from a
camp on Grant lake in the latter part
of 1911, while out there with a party
of young fellows. He went away
hunting one day and nothing was ever
seen of him again. He said before ,
that he wanted to go home to his;
folks in Greece who are well to do,
but he started off without telling any- j
one. His brothers in New York and
Portland offered.large rewards for
finding him, but no trace of him could j
be found. The letter from him stat-,
ed that he was living with the folks
and was enjoying himself immensely.

LETTER FROM BERLIN TO
SEWARD TELLS OF WAR.
Baron Von Lohneysen, Known in
Seward, says Germany is
Winning Easily.
Baron von Lohneysen wrote on the
mail arriving on the Alameda this
morning to Ben Sweasy from Berlin
and says that Germany will win the
war without the slightest doubt. The
Baron was here hunting three years
ago when Mr. Sweasy was his guide.
Berlin, Germany.
Foreign Office,
Wilhelmstrasse, 75
July 14, 1915.
My dear Ben:—
I want you to know where I am and
what I am doing. They did not allow
me as yet to go to the front and fight
for my country, but they still keep
men in the Foreign office and make
me work more than I care for. I am
hoping, however, that the time will
not be far away when I shall be call
ed to the front. There are hundreds
and hundreds of officers waiting in
their home quarters to go out again
to the front, but evidently there is no
need for them so far. I have never
seen so many soldiers, I mean young,
fresh and strong men, in the various
cities of Germany as right now, and
their number does not seem to de
crease although almost daily fresh
squads go to the front. A person
wandering through Germany would
not notice anything of this terrible
war. There is deepest peace every
where. FoodstufTs is cheaper here
now than at any time in the United
States. We have more wheat than
we need and we have more bread,
white and dark, than we can eat.
There is absolutely nothing missing
which we want or would like to have
for our daily luxury is going on as
usually. Theatres, concerts, restaur
ants and other public places are more
crowded now than ever at times of
peace. In short, if one would not
read the newspapers, or see a wound
ed soldier once in a while, one would
not believe that the world is at war
against us. I am sorry for you, dear
old Ben, that your papers do not let
you have the real true facts about
I the war. Otherwise you would know
how utttrly hopeless the cause of our
enemies is now. ^ou do not hear
anything about the glorious victories ,
which our armies gain east and west j
day by day. You cannot realize that
Russia is done and that France is
making her last desperate efforts.
No one has told you that Italy’s in
tervention is a matter of absolutely j
no importance, whatsoever, as far as
the general situation is concerned
You probably still believe that the
Dardanelles will be taken soon,
whereas, here everyone knows that
the markmanship of German gunners
makes tre Dardanelles impregnable.
But very soon you fellows in the
United States will know that the time
! is near when we will have only one
enemy left, and that this last enemy
will not be able to forego his fate to
fall down before Germany’s energy
and strength. Every soul in Germany
is praying for England’s downfall,
! and there will be no peace before
England’s power is broken and there
by a lasting peace and the freedom of
the seas is ensured for the world. The
j United States will some day realize
what Germany has done for her in
this war, and after this knowledge
has fought its way through your
country, our mutual frinedship will
I grow stronger and stronger, and no
i paid newspaperman will be able again
I hereafter to poison the public opinion
j in the United States against Ger
! many with such dawgone lies as has
happened during this war. I am
taking the time to write you all of
| this because I know you so tfell. I
know you are my frined and I know
you are an honest, straightforward,
fairminded man who wants to know
i the truth, and so help me God, I have
told you the truth!
