These facts may be taken as self
e v blent:
The congress will pass during this
winter, a bill providing for the con
st ruction, under the auspices of the
federal government ami under the im
mediate direction of the war depart
ment, trunk due railway systems in
j\ 1 ask a
Two railway systems will he con
structed, as recommended hy tin*
Alaska Railway commission.
Seward, located on Resurrect ion bay,
Alaska's finest harls'r, will be desig
nated a> the coast terminus of one of
tht rui way systems.
Uertainly it may be said that the
outlook for this town and this region
never before looked so encouraging.
Watch Seward grow and prospei!
It is beginning to dawn on the peo
ple. irrespective of party affiliation, in
rh» >e I nttid States, including Alaska,
that in President WiLon we have a
chief executive who ranks with Wash
ington. Jefferson and Lincoln, in point
of ability. competency and an elevated
conception of his responsible duties.
When Mi. Wilson assumed the presi
dency, he found a chaotic condition of
affairs, handed down by the lamented
Taft administration. He attacked the
herculean tu^k with a tirmuess and an
integrity of purpose that soon dis
• polled doubt and misgivings a> to his
ability to cope with the hard problems
bequeathed him for solution.
Hurrah for the Alaska railway bit !
Hurrah for President Wilson! Hurrah
for Delegate Wickersham! And hur
rah for everybody!

American rail
roads are the fastest
and safest in the world.
The American trainman
counts his time in seconds.
Foreign railroad men carry no
such watch as the HOWARD.
Official inspection of railroad
watches exists in no other country.
HOWARD Railroad Watches(/e»er
setting) are officially certified and adopted
by the time inspectors of one hundred and
forty of the leading railroads of America.
Better than that, their daily performance
is finer, more accurate than the most exact
I ing railroad requirements.
The balance-wheel of the HOWARD
i'*' Watch is made of special hard-tempered
steel—will not knock out of true with the
jar and vibration of railroad sendee.
Every HOWARD is made and ad
justed as a fine watch. Cased and timed
in its own case by the HOWARD watch
makers.
The price of the HOWARD is fixed
—railroad models $50 to $ 140—and a
printed price-ticket attached.
We carry' this distinctive watch and
would like to show it to you.
