BILL SAUERS’ OPINION.
Did you ever see a man sitting in a
poker game, and holding four aces,
and just watch the look of satisfaction
as the holder of the four** sat back and
watched the other boys get their chips
in tin* center of the table, hardly able
to wait, till he could get a chance to
set a few stacks in himself, knowing
before hand what tin* result wonkl be?
Well, that’s Bill S uiers. He’s just as
sure as the man with four aces—more
so in fact. He's as sure as a man with
four aces and a gun, unlimited chips,
an open check account and a bull dog
between his knees. We were coming
down the street this morning and saw
Hill in his shirt sleeves out in front of
the Seward Commercial Co’s, store
looking at the progress that the car
penters are making in the big addi
tion that he is building. We stopped
to pass the time of day and was swamped
in the very How of confidence that just
oozes out of Bill. Mr. Sauers just ex
udes confidence and opt om ism—it
stands out on him in spots as big as a
horse blanket, and he has a lot of facts
that makes it convincing.
We asked him: “Mr*. Sauers, what
do vou think of the way things are
looking for Seward?" He gave us one
look and pointed to the magnificent
store room that he is building.
“There’s my answer," he said. “I’m
getting ready for the greatest rush
that an Alaskan camp has ever known.
I have seen it coming for a long time,
and have been working night and day
to get in shape for the boom when it
arrives, and am now just beginning to
see where 1 will be ready when it gets
here. We are goiug to have a rush
that the most optomistic of us scarcely i
dream of. Its inevitible. Why. man
alive, you cant get away from Seward, j
I dont care what they do in the east, |
this place is the only possible one for
a railroad to start from for the inter
ior, and inside of sixty days you are |
goingto see the busiest camp in Alaska
right here. Of course you can hear!
some l'ttle talk of Portage bay, Valdez
and Cordova, but. tommyrot, did you j
ever see their harbors, aud again what,
have they behind them. This country !
is good from salt water to the coal
lields. There is not a mile of country !
but what will be opened up and we!
will have a town with a thousand
miles of prosperity behind it as soon as >
we have a railroad from Resurrection
bay to the Yukon. I expect to see a
town of ten thousand population stead
ily increasing from year to year, and
you can’t getaway from it, we've got:
the townsite, we’ve got tlie harbor,
we’ve got the country behind us and!
we have everyone in the United States ;
with us except the Guggenheims, and!
we dont want them, they’ve been a!
jinks to every town thevever touched.”
