SEWARD, ALASKA, FRIDAY. AUGUST 11.1916.
At the time this is written it is assumed that the An
chorage ball team will arrive today. Anyhow they will
arrive one of these days and they will be welcome.
International sporting contests have traditionally
been regarded as one of the best means for creating
friendly feelings between two nations and if this tradition
is well founded there is no reason why baseball games be
tween two cities should not have a similar effect. In the
first yacht race between the Shamrock and the American
eup defender trouble arose and that sporting event, in
stead of bringing friendship, caused very bad feelings.
It was the same with the first international athletic con
test between the United States and Great Britain. The
latter country got l>eaten so badly that some got sore and
trouble threatened, but the majority took the thing so
well that no harm came. If those objections had been
lodged in a calm and friendly spirit no irritation would
have resulted but when a man loses his temper it is very
hard to avoid irritating someone else. And it is very dif
ficult to avoid a loss of temper if you have money up and
you feel that the other side has been favored.
Very often the remarks of outsiders help along the in
clination towards irritation. An example of this was
given during the games with Fort Liscum and the mana
gers of the games asked this paper at the time to draw at
tention to it. It is now up to Seward to give our visitors
a most friendly welcome. Thev are certainly welcome and
» % %
we all appreciate their visit. All Seward wishes them a
royal time. They cannot expect us, of course, to wish
them victory, but thev have a thousand of our best wishes
for everything else.
It would be a pity just now if any obstacle were placed
in the way of establishing a smelter in Seward. People
should forget some of the details tlmt might not Milt them
and give their main thought to the main subject — the
establishment of that smelter. There is no one who will
deny for a moment that Seward is the place for the smelt
er that will serve the southwestern coast of Alaska as,
well as the vast territory served by the government rail
road. The government commission itself has chosen this
town as the site for such a smelter. That Seward is the
place for the smelter is the fundamental fact. All other
circumstances are merely incidentals which should be
treated separately and corrected independently if they
need correction at all.

JUDGE GOES TO HOME
Judge Philander Gallaher, former
United States commissioner at Kuby,
and the dean of the legal profession
in that thriving community, will
shortly leave for the Pioneers* home

Gallaher is one of Alaska’s oldest
federal officials, having been appoint
ed to a commissionership in 1807 by
President McKinley. His many
friends in the interior of Alaska sin
cerely hope that he will find the home
and surroundings beneficial to his re
quirements.—Ex.
