All those people coining up now will help to develope the country and
every part of the country no matter where they settle first. People stamped,
ing to a new territory are like the seeds blown by the wind. Most of them go
with the strongest wind hut other winds blow across their trail and backward
to scatter them that they might spread profusion on every hand. The men
who rush to Ship creek are being borne on the wind of the first railroad
work. When the work starts here it will be the cross wind and the back wind
to draw many of the human seeds hitherward from all directions.. In a time
the hundreds being {mured into this whole section generally will spread out
and not one settlement hut countless ones will he the result.
The Gateway i». informed that three tir»t class standard chemical engines

than could have been saved by keeping the salary of one certain official at
what it formerly was. However, it is probably too late to talk. 1 he city has
no money in sight to meet any more expenses. It time had been given tor
such matters to have been considered good tire lighting apparatus would have
been possible. Let it be hoped that some avenue will be opened for protection.
Thousands of letters are coming here now from all parts of North
America enquiring about conditions in various lines and it is too had that
they cannot be answered. It i> impossible for the Gateway to answer all
the questions and the secretary of the Commercial Club would require a big
staff to deal with alt the letters received hy him. A circular letter would not
be sufficient. The questions asked deal with subjects as widely different as
growing pumpkins and quart/ mining. Lach letter would have to be an
swered separately to give anything like satisfaction and it would be well if
the public outside could know that it is not the disinclination to answer which
causes the failure to give all the information asked for.
With a beautiful, warm sun shining and hundreds of people crowding the
streets this morning Seward got a taste of what it is coni'Pg into.

The Herald of Better Service
IN the arena of “Big Business” has appeared
a new steel-brained champion, the Master
Model of the Royal—the machine with the rapid
fire action; the typewriter that fires letters as
an automatic gun spits bullets 1
Unless you are “ Royalized,” you are paying the price
of the Royal without knowing it—besides that of your old
style machine—in the higher cost of your business letters.
Built for “Big Business’* and its
Great Army of Expert Operators
This master-machine does the work of several type
writers in one—it writes, types cards and bills! The one
machine does it all—without any “special” attachments.
Get the Facts!
Send for the “Royal man" and ask for a DEMONSTRATION.
Investigate the new machine that takes the “grind" out of type
writing. Or write us direct for our new brochure, ** BETTER
SERVICE, **and book of facts on Touch Typing—with a handsome
Color-Photograph of the new Royal Master-Model 10, sent free
to typewriter users. “ Write now—right now l ”
