SEWARD, THE GATEWAY TO ALASKA, SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 1915.
The Juneau Dispatch delivers an awful roast at the Seward member
of the territorial lower house because be dared to propose a resolution to
memorialize congress to change the site of the territorial capital from Ju
neau to Seward. There would be nothing objectionable about this if the
paper confined itself to a dignified protest but it stoops to a sort of cheap
humor in dealing with the resolution’s proposer. “Merely a joke” is the head
ing of the editorial assault on the Seward man. “Mr. Noon wants the moon”
is another brilliant piece of forensic eloquence indulged in by our otherwise
estimable contemporary which descends to mere vituperation when it insin
uates that the Sew ard man is looking for cheap advertising.
After all. the Juneau Dispatch might be asked why such a proposal
could be regarded as merely a joke. In what way could the claims of Seward
be regarded as so excruciatingly funny?
The Gateway has suggested may a time and oft that Seward ought to be
and probably some day will be, the capital of the territory of Alaska, and the
Gateway is perfectly willing to stand on that position regardless of the fact
that penetrating editorial minds elsewhere may see in the stand a ludicrous
example of unconscious humor. In stating the fact that Seward is situated
in the very spot where the gods themselves w ould choose a site for the Ter
ritorial capital this paper has always and does yet, speak with all respect
for those of Juneau or any where else who cannot see eye to eye with us, but
the feeling cannot be avoided that the word “joke in this case can only be
applied to those who see in the proposal nothing but personal selfishness or a
reaching out after the moon.
As the subject has been broached once more would our critics of the
superhuman sense of humor tell us where the joke occurs in stating that
Fairbanks will soon be within twenty-four hours* journeyj>f Seward, that
the elected representatives of Nome can make the journey to Seward in
winter or summer at half the expense* and in halt the time, that the
representatives of the first division could come to Seward as easily as
Seward men could go to Juneau, that the First division is the most remote
division from all other well populated parts of the territory, and several
assertions of a supplementary nature?
Remember that tens of thousands of people will be living and working
along the few scores of miles of railroad beteween Seward and Matanuska
within a few years. It is quite possible that the largest town of all will
be right at the coal mines and unquestionably a good sized town will be
located at Ship creek although, owing to the ice conditions and the much
longer sea journey to the states, that place can never hope to be anything
like a rival of the city chosen as THE ocean terminal. However, to feed all'
these scores of thousands farms will begin to he cultivated. Between each
town will be farmhouses and. maybe, villages with their little corner stores
and post offices. Who ever thought of this in the days when Alaska was
just Juneau and Sitka—only that and nothing more. __
NEWS FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE NORTHLAN D
VALDEZ, April 11.—United States
Marshal Brenneman of this division
has left for a sixty day trip to Wash
ington to consult with the attorney
general.
While it has been generally under
stood and expected for some weeks
past, by those who have kept them
selves informed, that the route fina ly
determined upon was the one to be
selected for the Alaska railroad, the ,
announcement of the selection re
moves the last linprering doubt and
paves the way for a small boom for
the Alaska town which is selected as
the terminal of the road. For some
time, certainly until the completeion
of the road and quite probably for an
indefinite time thereafter, Seward
promises to be the liveliest place in
the domain of the United States.—
