SEWARD. ALASKA, THURSDAY, MARCH 2. 1916. ^
Two days from Seward to Iditarod is going some. Now that we have got
into this aeroplane business there is no reason why pretty soon we could not
stand up from the breakfast table in Seward and telephone to Anchorage
that we might be expected there before lunch time.
When Stevenson was asked by the wise ones how he expected a railroad
train to run successfully when a cow might get on the track at any time it
did not puzzle him in the least.
“Gracious, what would happen?” asked they. %.
“It would be hard on the coo,” answered the great Scotchman.
In the same way we conjure up petty obstacles to airship mail service
in Alaska, but probably before a year, we shall look at aeroplanes rising
from this city with less awe than we feel now in observing one of our lordly
locomotives pulTing with self conscious pomposity up towards Porcupine
City.
The day of the airship in Alaska has arrived. The few cold spells custom
ary to winter time will have no more effect on stopping it than the cow would
have in stopping the Washington Express.
The chances are good that Secretary Lane, the secretary of labor and
the Federation of Labor will be able to arrive at some arrangement for the
fixing of a wage scale on the government railroad work in future. The
course now being followed by Mr. Lane is about the only one. It may be
that if the men before walking out had put the matter up to the secretary
of labor or secretary of the interior as it is now put there would never have
been any trouble. It is a pity we cannot all be wise in time. However, a
quick settlement may be looked for. The fixing of the wage scale for a
year carefully and positively is the surest way of bringing about stable
conditions.
That famous bill has been signed finally and all we have to do now is to
await the result on the city and district. February 29 is really a red letter
day in the history of Seward because the bill was signed that day which
gives the first real money for the first real work on the railroad in the im
mediate district. Hitherto all the attention has been given to Anchorage.
Now comes Seward to the bat.

HENRY FORD.
mmmmmmmarn
Henry Ford has been called a jack
has and a clown because he hired a j
ship and sailed across the sea to
stop the most frightful slaughter the
world has ever known. The big thing
in his action is not the question
whether he will or will not stop the
war, but the fact that he is willing to
try! It was by trying that he got
where he is. liut still he keeps on
trying.
In the face of overwhelming odds,,
in spite of a world-wide criticism, he
is willing to undertake the greatest
job that over fell to tho lot of a
human being in the world’s history.,
He brushes aside the thousands of
columns of nowspaper criticisms, he
ignores the public utterance of so-,
called statesmen, ho sets his faco to
ward the most glorious goal that any
man over hoped to achieve—and goes
on his way Trying.
So far, he is the only person who
‘las taken a definite step toward end
ing the war. True it may not be the
right step, you get that by trying.
The men who sit in swivel chairs and
sneer and make funny jokes about |
that man Ford are not taking steps of
any kind to end the war. The job
looks too big and too hopeless to
them. It looks big to Ford and may
be it looks hopeless to him. But he s
got the nerve to try and spends his
own money. Asking aid of no man.
What a nation this would be, if each
industry could be headed by a ford
who was willing to try, what chance
would any other nation under the sun
havo with us. What if more of us
were willing to try and less of us
were slaves of convention and
creatures of habit. There is a word
in the dictionary called can’t, leave it
there. Never use it. Well we've been
“Henry Fording" it for the past
twelve years, and expect to keep right
at it, until the Powers that be, and
the Engineers that direct it, awaken
to the fact that Seward is the Begin
ning and Final jumping off place of
construction of Government railroads
hi Alaska. In the meantime, we have
plenty time and help to serve you.
Best treatment, best price, and sure
ly the Best Goods.
