SEWARD. AI.ASKA. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1(5, 1916.
The series of games that Seward has just witnessed
wvas enough to make us all, old and young and middling,
to forget our troubles for a time. Baseball is more than a
game. It is a vacation and a pastime and an invigorator.
The Gateway’s suggestion that we should have an All
Alaska league and that this division should open it with a
challenge to the First division has met with the strongest
approval of the Anchorage leaders. Several of them de
clare they are willing and ready to join forces with Seward
and get the thing going. Indeed, everyone of them who
spoke about the suggestion is enthusiastic for it. So. let
us get to work and have that game and that league and we
shall be the better for it. The towns of the Third and
First divisions, without any question, are permanent and
growing and to be without a league would be to miss the
chance to practise “Americanism" to the full. Say, Ju
neau, are you ready?
There is every foundation for the belief that men who
are closest to President Wilson are now the owners of
large amounts of property in Seward. Taking it all am;
all, the report of the Engineering Commission and events
arising since have continued the belief that Seward is
THE place.
The only reason that anv doubt existed was that the
% %
Commission has boon afraid to lot us expect too much.
There has never boon a question really about this being
the headquarters and the terminal except whatever ques
tion came as the child of impatience.

LONDON. August 9.—Trench rats,
