SEWARD, ALASKA, TUESDAY, AUGUST 8, 1916.
Seward would forget all its troubles this winter if
that rock work on Turnagain Arm is carried on, and there
is no reason to l>elieve that the Engineering Commission
will wait for Summer. Just at this moment it is not clear
to the mind whether the Commission has decided to do
that work this winter or not but it most likely will as the
Alaska Northern will be open to 71 and the rough waters
need not be depended upon to get supplies to the scene of
operations. The climate on the Arm is tropical compared
to the climate on the White Pass and the work on the very
summit of the White Pass was done in the dead of winter
when the wind raged at a temperature of 35 and 40 below,
and when the grade was blasted through the sides of
mountains that stood almost straight up. Even when
necessary the supplies for the work were sent out on pack
trains. Thev can easilv be sent from Seward over the
* %
railroad this winter and this ought to bring quite a lot of
business to this city. Indeed, anyone who might have felt
disappointment because of the delays at this end would
soon lose it. There would be no further cause for it.
As stated above, it is not known what the Commis
sion's intentions in the matter are, but now that Turn
again Arm is found not to be so spotless a means for
transporting supplies a committee of citizens might do
some good to wait on Chairman Edes before he gets away
to the interior and let him know how pleased the people of
this city would l>e if the Alaska Northern could be used
this Winter to ship supplies and if the work between the
two cities could be carried on without waiting for another
Summer and another season of the Arm's rough water.

(Special to Gateway by United Press*
PARIS, August 2.—France paused
today in tribute to the memory of
Corporal Jules-Andre Peugeot, the
first Frenchman killed in the present
war.
It was at Joncherey on the Upper
Rhine, at 10 o’clock a. m.. August 2.
1011. about 21 hours before the war
actually was declared between Ger
many and France, that Peugeot was
shot to death by Lieutenant Mayer, at
the head of a German patrol squad.
A national subscription is today be
ing collected under the patronage of
the Minister of War and the Minister

history as have those of Marechal des

A tract in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.

block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low as $25—$50 and $75.

war of 1S70, who was killed at Nied
edbronn.
Peugeot, 21, was a corporal in the
sixth company of the 44th regiment of
infantry. Karly in August he was
stationed at Joncherey, two kilomet
ers from Delle and twelve kilometers
from the German frontier.
On the morning of August 2, he
had just finished placing a sentinel and
returned to the house of A. M. Dau
court, when the latter’s little daughter
came running in crying.
“The Prussians! The Prussians.”
Rushing outside, Corporal Peugeot
found himself facing a mounted Ger
man patrol of seven members under
command of Lieut. Mayer of the
Fifth Regiment of Chasseurs station
ed at Mu I house.
Peugeot gave the order to halt, to
which Mayer replied by drawing his
revolver and firing three shots into
the be ly of the corporal. The latter
fell to his knees, discharging his gun
before he could take aim.
By this time a few of Peugeot’s men
had rushed up, one of whom, named
Monnier, killed Lieut. Mayer with two
.shots from his rifle. In the fight that
followed, participated in by some
French dragoons who had come up at
the sound of the firing, all of the
Germans were killed with the excep
tion of one who escaped.
Peugeot, was the only French sold
ier killed in the fray. He has since
been cited to the order of the day for
his bravery.
