SEWARD. Al.VSh \. FRIDAY, JI NK 11. 1915.
Seward is particularly fortunate in receiving the sort of people who re
cently came to reside here. Clannish as oldtime Alaskans may have been
made by tie many years of struggling together they are the first to extend
a cordial welcome to the right kind of people. All the grown up white peo
ple of the territory at one time themselves lived in cities of the east and west
and south and are not at all the bucolic critics of “outside” manners and
customs that one might expect to find in villages where the good people re
sent a little “side” on the part of those coming from larger and more up-to
date centers. Alaskans are a broad and bright people who have been through
the mill. Their experiences may have blunted them a little and taken away
some of their minor social graces, or rather, may have shown them the
futility of the little fashionable peculiarities which flourish only where there
is ample time to practise them, but those experiences have only made keen
the Alaskan mind and made tolerant the Alaskan spirit. They come to re
gard as inferiors oni\ two classes those who think themselves superior and
those who admit their inferiority by lowering the standard of living and
conduct. Treat Alaskans as equals and Alaskans will be found to be equal
to the best. The great danger always is that the territory may be flooded
some time with the undesirable element that will alter the whole aspect of
life in the country. Seward is -till free from any appearance of this danger
and may she always remain so.
The proposed campaign of William Jennings Bryan in favor of peace
may well lead to ven troublous times in the United States. Not that his
campaign will b< the cause of the trouble but it will furnish the excuse for
people with dif;\ rent views to abandon their neutral attitude anti take sides
openly. Mr. Bryan's efforts to maintain peace will probably be supported by
the people of Herman and Austrian blood in the United States as a war be
tween their adopted country and the country of their birth or forefathers
could hardly fail to cause them anguish. It is a certainty that they will aid
Bryan’s peace campaign even if they did not consider at all the disastrous
results which America’s entry into the war might effect. People of those
national tics claim to number something like twenty millions in this country
and with them on one side and still greater numbers on the other side there
is a mighty large amount of inflammable matter provided for a conflagration.

PARDON WRONG RILEY.
-
OTTAWA.—Through an error the
authorities of the penitentiary at
Kingston, Ontario, released from
custody Thomas M. Riley, serving a
term for manslaughter, on a pardon
intended for Thomas Riley, also serv
ing time for manslaughter, it was an
nounced here tonight. The mistake
was discovered when a clergyman at
London, Ontario, received a letter
from the freed Riley, now living in
Everton, Mo., thanking him for his
efforts to obtain the pardon.
BIG FIRES ALL
ALONG TANANA.
FAIRBANKS.—From many places
along the Tanana river, reports were
received that forest fires were raging
and everywhere great damage is be
ing done. Along the upper Tanana
river there are a few fires reported,
but the damage was not as great as
is it is on the lower river. In the
vicinity of Nenana the greatest fires
I are burning, according to reports and
the country for miles around was be
ing swept by flames.
At the Nenana telegraph station, it
was feared last evening that the
building was doomed to destruction
unless the wind changed or abated be
fore morning. The fire was several
miles below the station at 9 o clock
but was working its way upstream
rapidly.
From the upper Chcna river, word
was received that there were some
bad fires also, but the extent of the
damage that was being done could
not be ascertained.
At Minto, smoke could be seen in
the hills, but it was not near enough
to the station to put the buildings
there in danger.—(Times.)
SMITH GOES TO PRISON
FOR TWELVE YEARS.
FAIRBANKS.—Twelve years in the
penitentiary at McNeils island was
the sentence pronounced upon George
Smith by Judge Funnel. The defend
ant was convicted of the robbery of
$2,200 from Kenneth McLellan.
When the matter came up Smith was
asked if he had anything to say be
fore sentence was passed. He said,
with difficulty, that he was not guilty,
and that was all he had to say.
