SEW AR1>. ALASk \, Till RSDAY, JULY 22, 1915.
The idea of building a road around the head of the bay appeals to the
fancy while it also appeals to the sense of utility. The littleness of the
money that would be required for such work makes it appeal all the more
strongly. Can anyone imagine a more beautiful boulevard than one that
would skirt the head of Resurrection bay and lead to the lovely beaches and
woods at the other side. The perfect levelness of the ground makes the
load so easy of construction that the expense would be negligible without
the amount required for the few little bridges over the creeks. Such bridges
would probably be nothing more than log ones unless, perhaps, in one in
stance where something better, but not much, might be necessary.
Apart from the magnificent recreation which such a road would provide
for the people of the city it would be of inestimable advantage to the peo
ple w ho are striving to develope farms along the head and east shores of the
bay. At present the people living and working there must depend on the
weather to reach town in small boats or to go home again and if any people
deserve attention in this part of Alaska more than others they are the people
who are developing the farms.
The tire in Valdez serves as a warning to bo careful during this warm
weather. People going into the woods near the city should be particular!}
careful. With the undergrowth dry as tinder and a brisk wind there is ever
present a grave danger of a great forest tire with its dying sparks. People
are usually careful in their homes but there is a time like this when it is
wise to make assurance doubly sure'. That sort of assurance always beats
what we call insurance. It costs less.
Cut out the worrying. The czar of Russia is worrying because the
kaiser is in his country. The kaiser is worrying because the socialists get
restive. The president ©:' the Cnited States is worrying over the next elect
ion. The millionaire is worrying because he cannot become a multi-million
aire. The business man is worrying because the manufacturer is dunning
him and the manufacturer is worrying because the men ask higher wages.
The drummer is worrying because that exacting tryant “the house" wants
him to get more orders. The doctor is worrying because the kids avoid the
whooping cough. Ti e clerk is worrying because business is slack and the
fateful can looks nigh. The laborer is worrying because the job might end
and the man who wants to work worries because the job never begins.
And. yet. they all live and when they come to die they die in bed
with all that is necessary at hand, un!es> their conscience is not clear am
then they worry again. What’s the u>e?
MET DEATH IN THE

Order Your Tall Suit Now!
TAKE IT WHEN YOU WANT IT
We have just received the Fall Samples for the season of 1915-6, and
we can truthfully say that we have never before had an opportunity to show
to the men of Seward a line of goods that compares with the present equip
ment.
The new autumn shades that are being showp in serges, plaids, tweeds
cheviots, and worsteds surpass anything that has ever been shown in the
North. There are
FIVE HUNDRED SAMPLES
to chose from and there is not one in the lot but what would make a beautiful
suit for some one. The new Fall and Winter Styles are very attractive too
and are bound to be very popular.
Now there is no doubt but what you will want a suit or an overcoat, or
both this Fall. You do not know just \%hen you will want it exactly, but
would’nt you like to know that when you want it, it will be here all ready
for you, made to your individual measure in the style that you like and from
your own fabric selection.
This Is Our Proposition:
i
Come in today while the samples are all new and you are sure of getting
your first choice. Make your selection, and we will send and get the suit
for you and hold it in stock for you until you need it.
YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED
to take the suit or coat at all, nor do you have to make a deposit. We know
the kind of clothes that we turn out and we know that if you know that there
is a suit here like we will make for you, that you will want it as soon as you
see it. Come in today and let us take your measure, or at least have a look
at the Samples.
