SEWARD, ALASKA, SATl’R DAY, DECEMBER 2, 1016. :
__ _ ——————« -
The result of the Delegate election in Alaska, it
should not be forgotten, is an emphatic endorsement of
the work ol' Dem icratic administration for the territory, i
, It is well also to let Washington know it, because if there >
is such a thing as political ingratitude it would be ex- .
emplitied by me deteat of the candidate who lepiesented |
the Democratic party and who had the endorsement oi
President Wilson. ,lt may be taken for granted now that
Mr. Suker will be the next delegate to congress. As a
mining man lie represents in his person the chief industi v
in' Hie territory and will probablv devote a gie.it deal of .
energy to having mat branch of industry developed to the
full.' He also has the ability to express himself vocally
without being a lawyer and nis kinship to a man who lias
been so prominent as his brother wiil give him a standing
that a stranger could not hope for, even with people who
mav not be his brothers political friends.
Hut, who ever thought that Wickersham could be de
feated this time.' And, particularly, who ever thought
that he could be deteated in His own fourth division / |
Truly political fortunes are varying.
in a new country like this quite a lot is leit to chance, j
The government depends on volunteers to capture crimin- j
als to some’extent and towns depend on volunteer tire-;
i' en who receive no pay worthy to be so called. A day or j
tv.o ago word came that Nome lias a population ot about j
fifteen hundred this winter, and the population of Seward
can hardly be much less. 'I et Nome keeps a paid tire tie- j
partmeiu with trained horses and a good equipment. In
tiie matter of hunting criminals, burying the dead who j
die in tiie wilderness or catching lunatics the government
ought to be belter prepared. I p in Iiuby some years ago
a madman froze to death like a tlog because “there were |
no funds" to meet tiie case. In other camps volnntee<s
have had to go to bury hapless wayfarers because red
tape said that no expenses could be provided unless to
wit nesses in the event of an inquest. Hoes it ever occur to .
you that if a bunch of incoming strangers became lawless
there would be no constituted authority to handle the sit- j:
nation'.’ This is surely a free country in more senses than
one. _

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 $123. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low’ as $23—$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
w ill be pleased to interest you in the best offer for a suber
ban home ever made in Seward.
