SEWARD, M.ask \, MONDAY, Jl'NE 10.
In one sense these wars and rumors of war are funny.
The United States sends an ultimatum to Germany about
the submarines anil from l ncle Sam s back conies an ulti
matum to himself from Mexico. ‘A ou cut out that sub
marine business, Dutchy, or 111 break your head.
"Never mind the submarines. Gringo; ^ ou just shove
another toe across my line and 111 land a solar plexus on
you if I can reach you."
The idea of the Greaser, to keep up the poetic noms
tie guerre, so to speak, of the different peoples, threaten
ing Uncle Sam is certainly peculiar. Could it be possible
that Mexicans really have a passionate love of country
which would drive them to deadly and bloody combat with
what is regarded as one of the great powers of the wot Id,
or does Mexico hope for aid from someone else? What a
momentous amount depends on the answer to that ques
tion.
It hardly speaks well for the manner in which the
business of the nation is conducted to hear that because
national conventions were held back in Chicago and St.
Louis the work on the construction of the government
railroad in Alaska must be virtually stopped during the
best part of the year. Maybe, the same results have been
felt in Panama and in hundreds of other places. Just im
agine a business man here on Fourth avenue closing his
store because he wanted to attend a political meeting in
Valdez. Oh, that government ownership must be conduct
ed on different lines.
The only way in which one newspaper can keep
friendly with another is to refuse all advertising which
the other paper cannot get. Success in securing more ad
vertising than another is a grievous sin, a heinous crime.
Nothing hurts so much as to fail to get the other fellow’s
advertisements, and nothing looks so much like sour
grapes.
STATEMENT OF El>KS
BEFORE THE COMMITTEE
UN SANITARY BILL*
M- L .< . ‘ > bi! is nece
sary for our purpose to control the.
sanitation. It is not because we art
anxious to get any further trouble onj
t>ur hands. We feel simply that we
Avill be held responsible for sanitary!
conditions up there and that we |
should have some means of protec
tion. If I felt satisfied that the gov
ernor of Alaska or anybody else could
take proper and prompt action and
accomplish the same purposes that
this bill aims to accomplish, 1 would
be perfectly willing to keep out ol it.
I think the chairman stated the thing
very clearly and very fairly. In the
case of a man who is working for you
and camped down on the stream, you
have certain authority over him and
can discharge him, but we can’t take
care of the man that comes up there
and thinks it is one of his privileges to
camp on the stream and do as he
wants to. We feel we should keep it
safe, as the health officer decides, and
tell him how far he shall keep away
from the stream, this depending on
character of soil ami other conditions.
We don’t want to wait until the horse
is stolen to lock the door. We con
sider the Alaska law provides only for
quarantine. It is not clear to us that
it applies to sanitation. If the word
“sanitation” was added to the word
“quarantine,” it might help it out, but
we don’t consider sanitation is covered
now. There is no question if a man
pollutes a stream, and a jury finds so,
after two or three months, I suppose
he can be punished, but he can say:
“I didn’t pollute that stream; there is
no danger. If I put my building
within 50 feet of it there is no dang
er.” We want the right to tell him
we don't want the building within 50
feet. As the judge says, Alaska is a
healthy country, but 1 have in mind a
place where there are 1,000 people
right now. It is a flat country, and
there is practically no drainage to it.
I don’t know whether Alaskan mos
quitoes are healthy or not, but there
is just as much danger of their get
ting typhoid fever in that town as
there is nay place down here on the
Potomac. We are not building this
railroad on top of glaciers or all in
the frozen district. There are miles
of it that go over marshy ground.
They have got to get water out of
wells, and 1 say there is great danger

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.
ROMIG & 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.
