SEWARD, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 24. 191«.
It is a remarkable fact that everyone who comes to Seward and stays
here a few days speaks about the lack of combination on the part of the resi
dents.
In every town there is an “atmosphere which strikes the visitor almost
as quickly as the climatic conditions. That is the reason why you hoar people
saying that some town is tine and the other is no good, even when they have
spent only a few days there.
A lot depends, of course, on the personal comfort of the people who
visit. You can hardly expect a man who comes late on a rainy night to a
hotel room without heat—you can hardly expect that man to start out next
morning writing a poem about the place.
Everyone who visits Seward, we can say, speaks about the nice people
to be met here. That's a fact. And get a man coming in and sitting at a
hotel window on Fourth or Fifth avenues and within a few minutes you will
hear him say something complimentary about Seward’s people, men and
women, but particularly women. All joking aside, Seward has been blessed
with the brightest and best looking women of Alaska, and for some reason 01
another it has had men sent here who are second to none, but there is some
lack of community spirit. One cot)id not express an opinion about this lack
without butting into some pysehologieal phraseology, such as saying that we
need the genesis or the genius or something like that. But we do really need
something.
There ought to be some change. Hasn't every man in this city thought
the same thing ? And thinking does very little practical good. Seward ought
to do something. You remember that you must let dough rest to get it
properly sour.
WOMAN. 62. GETS COST
OF LIVING DOWN TO
TEN CENTS A 1) V\
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
BARBERTOWX, 0.. May 15.
Griin necessity and Mrs. Cretia Me-j
Intyre, 62, have battered the high
cost of living down to ten cents a day.
The dime covers food, clothing, fuel |
and other necessities of life. Since
Nov. 14, 1915, Mrs. McIntyre s income
has averaged ten cents a day.
Though hindered by rheumatism,
she makes her own way, sewing,
washing, and peddling household
articles. Despite her financial handi
caps, Mrs. McIntyre is cheerful. She
said today:
“l will make more this summer,
when my rheumatism is better and l
can work faster. I guess I can stand
it a little longer. I’m not going to
live to be as old as Methuselah.”
She ha* struggled with adversity
for 2$ years.
Her diet consists chiefly of rolled
oats, cornmeal, and skimmed milk.
She buys six pounds of rolled oats for
a quarter, cornmeal at two cents a
pound, skimmed mik at live cents a
gallon.
Mrs. McIntyre makes herself oat
meal pancakes in the morning. What
is left she fries in the evening and
makes some corn mush which she eats
with a little skimmed milk. Occasion
ally she has an egg.
In the lest six months this econo
mist has spent $1 for coal and $1.50
for kindling wood.

A two season schedule has been
adopted. The first season closes
July Gth, the second beginning July
8 and closing Labor Day. The teams
winning the pennant in the respective

tile field for the development of young
players. Among the Cass “A" play

the Ohio league are: Jake Daubert,
Brooklyn; Baumgardner, and Car!
Weilnum, St. Louis Browns; A!
Mamoux, Pittsburgh; Sam Jones and
Hank Gowdy, Boston Red Sox, and j
Lee Fold, Manager of the Cleveland j

tion of sending the largest number of
Class “D” rookis to the majors, but;
contributes at least one umpire to the
higher leagues each season.
These ex-Big Leaguers are in;
charge of the teams this year:
Chester Spencer, former National and
International first baseman at Ports
mouth; Jimmy Jones, National and
Eastern League outfielder at Mays
