SEWARD. ALASR V. THURSDAY, AUGUST 19. 1915.
The slowness of the coming of the railroad, the disappointment, the un
expected delays, all of these things are seemingly the inevitable obstacles
which prevent the securing of quick possession of all things that are worth
having. Have you ever expected anything that you longed for eagerly and
have you ever got it without some disappointments or delays? Isn’t it 1
curious ?
There is money coming. The date is fixed for its arrival. You go to get
it and. alas, you are told that there is a hitch. Wait around the corner for
the best girl. She promised to be there at 8 sharp. Does she show up on
time? Nix. You have property sold at a good figure and the time is ap- j
pointed for the transfer but at the last moment the other side finds some
fiaw in the title. You strike a rich paystreak and next day you have a law
suit on your hands, Such is life.
As long ns the world is divided as it is we must have wars. It is ridi
culous to urge universal peace that would mean geographical lines remaining
as they are. l or instance, it would hardly be fair to ask the Foies to bind
themselves to an eternal peace that would mean an eternal bondage to
Austria. Germany and Russia. It would be unfair to the Christian countries
under Turkish rule to ask them to lie under it for ever. It would be absurd
to ask the Mohammedan peoples under the rule of France, Britain or Italy
to accept without murmur the domination of foreigners. The only real peace
will be the peace with which all nationalities are satisfied—peace with honor.
The idea of holding a series of celebrations in 1017 in Seattle and the
Alaska cities looks pretty good. The intention is to have the celebrations
one after the other in periods so separated that tourists could take them all
in. By holding the first in Seattle to draw the crowds from other parts of
the states and then to lead the visitors up to Juneau, Skagway, Cordova, \ul
dez. Seward and on to Fairbanks. Nome and the other places where festivals
might be held would be the scheme. It ought to be tried if possible. At that
time Seward could have a rattling good celebration as the railroad will be
operating for a long way at thi^ end. Indeed. Seward and Fairbanks could
aid each other to make a big showing. The two towns may not be connected
up quite but they will be very near it.

IMPROVEMENTS ON SCHOOL
BUILDING ARE ABANDONED. |
Old School Will be Prepared to Serve
as One Class Room for
the Present.
After a discussion last evening the
city council finally decided to make
none of the contemplated improve- i
meats on the school building but to
fix up the old building near Lowell
creek as one class room for this
winter. The motion was made by
Councilman Crawford and carried,!
with one dissenting. During the dis
cussion Councilman Borgen express
ed the opinion that the whole thing
hail been muddled but when all the
plans had been taken into considera
tion it was the general opinion that
the amount of money required is too
much when the improvements could
only have a temporary advantage,
anyhow. The adoption of the plans
of Architect Kingsley was not car
ried out owing to the lateness of the
date. The work could not be finished
in time for the opening of the schools
and this consideration, added to The
cost, was decisive. The only other
item of information coming from the
meeting was a statement by the city
clerk with regard to building permits.
He said that when a building permit
was applied for the ordinance pro
vided that he was to give it. This
statement arose from some trouble
which came from the moving of a
house to a lot opposite the Bank of
Seward.
YUKONER IS WOUNDED
IN THE GREAT WAR.
DAWSON.—J. Brooks Close, who
was at the head of the White river
two years ago, in charge of a large
store, has been at the front with the
British troops since the beginning of
the war, and in many engagements.
A letter just received here from his
uncle, one of the Close brothers,
financiers of the White Pass, tel's of
young Close being wounded. A story
from the soldier himself is enclosed.
It came to the N. C. in care of W. H. j
Fairbanks, and is as follows:
Litlers, ‘28th May, 1915.—Dear W.
B.—I telegraphed you as follows:
“Rifle bullet hit three toes left foot,
nothing serious hope to get to Eng
land next week.—J. B. C.”
OLD FRIENDS.
RUBY'.—A family of Syrian for
tune tellers who are traveling through i
the territory, landed here early fhis
morning from Fairbanks. They left
for Long, where it is said, they will
locate a new paystreak for the boys.
Father, mother, four children and the
indispensable monky comprise the
troupe. — (Ruby Record.)
