SEWARD, ALASKA, MONDAY, DECEMBER 1.1916
Soiuo people outside lutvo a toolisli idea that Alaska
is colder than places in the States. We have seen here in
tiic month of I it. comber, tor the past week or two, w cat hoi
t>f which California might boast. Hardly a sign of snow
can been seen on the level, that means on the level giound.
Some people might say that the snow has been blown
away by little breezes that come from time, to time but
those breezes have hardly been strong enough. It might
be well to remind outsiders that we are having delighttul
weather here in Alaska, and in the month ot Dccembei.
Anyone livimr in Seward ean hear this out and cross their
hearts and cuss.. v
The travel during the last few days through Seward
..hows that the winters here in future will be busy seasons.
The Northwestern today'took out nearly a hundred peo
ple and if a Seward man looks over the names he will
recognize only a very few Seward passengers. Seward is
the liatevvav to the territory and is now giving proof of
the fact.
The figures from Fairbanks today show that Sulzer
has been elected Delegate to Congress. There can hardly
I e anv doubt of this now. \\ hut a revolution of feeling it
means! Who could have thought the Wickersham star
could have so suddenly fallen? But Mr. Wickersham need
not complain. Since lie came to the territory he has
drawn trom the government salaries that in the aggre
gate cannot have been very much less tlum a hundred
thousand dollars. He has also been successful in mining.
How very few Alaskans have been so fortunate. But now
that he has fallen he will probably become embittered
against the territory and its people. Let us watch how
long he will reside amongst tis. Such is human nature.

Buy a Home in Woodrow
The Beautiful Suburb
Of Seward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The Govt. Railroad runs through this beautiful tract.
Woodrow' lies near Bear Lake the famous fishing
ground of Seward.
Woodrow' may be said to be in the warm belt as the
hills are so situated as to shelter this tract from the winter
winds.
Woodrow is situated just this side of the Bungalow'
and plotted on the most desirable portion of the Johnson
Homestead.
A tract in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.
The price is so low that no one can complain.
You can buy a tract of about one third the size of a
block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low as $25—$50 and $75.
The title is clear—A warranty deed, first handed.
Woodrow is plotted in tracts situated each on a street
and corner on an alley. Each plot is easy to access.
Woodrow is a beautifully wooded tract and a veri
table park.
ROMIC. & ROMIG are handling this property and
will be pleased to interest you in the best offer for a suber
ban home ever made in Seward.
