SEWARD, ALASKA, FRIDAY, JANIZARY 28, 15)16.
Alaska is the easiest country in the world in which to gain prominence.
' here are more "prominent ’ individuals in this territory for the size of the
population than in any other known portion of the habitable globe. Ihis
leaves hope for all of us. Dear up.
To any person who has ever lived in a European country and in this
a marked difference i> noticeable in crowds. I he hardest thing a foieigner
i nds to become reconciled to is the shouting at baseball and other games.
A European at home would never think of raising his voice to cry'
phrase that would be heard by everyone. 'The same is true in private or
indoor public entertainments of any kind. Doth systems have probably their
faults and their virtues. The American way, at least, is the most natural.
Too much training or diffidence might kill it.
The war has brought out some interesting facts, of which we had been
frightfully ignorant, in relation to some ot the smaller nations, bor in
stance, Turks object to being called Turks. They crave the name of
Osmanlis. Koumania regards itself as a Latin nation with its culture based
on the French. Bucharest is a small edition of Puna and the women and men j
mitate Parisians in all ways. Owing to the oil discoveries the country has
a wealthy aristocracy. The “lower class’* are very poor as a rule and some
times live in what might be called holes in the ground. Bulgaria on the
other hand is a nation of simple tastes, of sheep herders, farmers. In j
Koumania me i have votes in number according to the amount of their prop-!
«t ty. Nearly all Bulgarians have votes and all. therefore, take an interest
in politics. What a limitless amount all of us have to learn yet about our
own little ball of earth.
“-—*———
Alaska is evidently up against he same old trouble again; A score of
new ami widely varied proposals are being put forward as to how the terri
tory should b" governed. These proposals range all the way from state
hood to deve >pment boards and each suggestion has a thousand advocates.
The Voice of Alaska is .i Babel which often sounds like a baby’s babble.
Whenever any public man in Furope nowadays does something which I
.^»me power dislikes he is accused of being in the pay of the opposing power.
This is so much like our dear Alaska where every other individual is accused
of being in th * pay of the Guggenheims. To be accused hundreds of timps
and for many years of taking Gugg gold and never to have got a smell of
it is the last rtraw. So sad is it that at times the accused one falls to the
lowest depth of the infamy of desire by wishing that the accusation had
some foundation.
NEWS NOTES
A Valdez ppaper just to hand says
that Harry Whittemore of Seward
passed through that town recently on
the way back from the states. They
probably took him for his dad which
is some compliment—for which ?
The town of Haines also had a fire
during the recent cold and windy
spell.

moving the house formerly occupied
by Judge Morfoard to the lot recently
