SEWARD, ALASKA, SATURDAY, AUGUST5,191(>
Our friend Anchorage is now making an ellort to
have the smelter established over there and you cannot
blame it. The presence of a smelter will make the city in
which it is located prosperous. Anchorage has jumped at
the idea, although a little too late this time. Seward got
its work in first and Anchorage will now undoubtedly
show the public spirit with which it is credited by falling in
line with Seward to make the project successful. There is
no reason why Anchorage cannot aid Seward and why
Seward cannot aid Anchorage to secure what each other j
wants. A smelter is not the only establishment that will
be needed in these two towns by a long way. In the years
to come both towns will establish many great projects and
Anchorage may look for the friendship of Seward. In the
case of the Smelter Seward started slightly ahead and An
chorage will realize this fact, and it will also remember
that a smelter at Seward will aid Anchorage itself. The
worst calamity would be anything to interfere with the1
establishment of the smelter.
It is almost impossible to realize the fact that all the
great nations of Europe have now been slaughtering the
people of each other for two long years. It is strange how
we up here in Alaska, in the same little mundane sphere,
fail to be affected by the horrors of hundreds of thousands'
of our own species being violently and agonizingly done to
death. So general is this war that there is not one of us
who has not some friend directly affected by it. If we
have no relatives engaged in the fighting we all know per
sonally several who have. It is a fight which almost
touches directly or indirectly every white man on earth
some way or another. But we are now becoming ac
customed to the horrors. The sinking of a great ship and
the loss of scores of lives in it, the raiding of towns by
giant airships at night, the talk of thousands of men
“slain last night,” all of these have become so “stale” that
they have almost lost their value as news. W hat a change
has come over this old world.
YUAN KAI'S CHILDREN
SCATTERED ACCORDING TO
WILL OF THEIR FATHER
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
PEKING, July 27.—In accordance
with the late President Tuan Shi
Kai’s final instructions, sons and
daughters of the dead ruler are pre
paring today to be sent to many wide
ly separated place sin charge of gov
ernment officials.
Cefore his death, Yuan directed that
his eldest, second and third sons and
all his daughters and concubines
should return to his native place to
be cared for by Yuan Shi-fu, his fifth
youngest brother.
His fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh
sons were ordered sent to England, in
charge of Yen Hsiu, former minister
of education, for their schooling. His
four youngest sons were Entrusted to
secretary of state. Several weeks
having elapsed since the death of the
ruler the tension at foreign legations
here is decreased and fear that a dis
turbance similar to the Boxer war
might be imminent has been dissipat
I ed.
For some time after Yuan’s death
foreigners believed danger near. At
several o fthe legations entrench
ments wer thrown up, machine guns
placed at advantageous positions and
large stores of food prepared for a
s» ’ge. Foreigners were warned to he
I ready to seek the shelter of their
' legations at a moments’ notice.
