GOVERNOR RIGGS IS IN HARNESS
Thomas Riggs, jr.. Governor of Alaska, is now in the
i xeeutive office at Juneau. Alaska’s new governor does
not believe in hoodoos. On Friday, April 26th, Mr. Riggs
took the oath of office before t inted States District Judge
Robert \Y. Jennings at Ketchikan. The oath was admin
istered in Redman’s hall and Alaska’s new governor then
delivered a speech at the third Liberty loan exercises, at
the request of the citizens of the Key City. Gov. Riggs
then left for Juneau arriving at the Capital City on Sat
urdav afternoon and immediately went to the Governor’s
Mansion, which had previously been vacated by the for
mer governor. Gov. Riggs brought his family back to
Alaska with him, his wife and two children. Upon arrival
at Juneau a committee representing the Commercial club,
which is composed of the business men there, greeted
the new Governor and a public reception followed during
the early part of this week. Gov. Riggs is an Alaskan and
will make one of the territory’s best officials. Gov. Riggs
knows Alaska and it's needs and with Delegate Charles
A. Sulzer, both having the support of the Administration
at Washington D. this territory will be well taken care
of. Here's success to Gov. Riggs.
GREAT FRENCH GUN WORKING AT NIGHT
I
This wonderful photograph shows a KUO-mil II meter French gun at the
moment of tiring during a night bombardment of the German lines. This
picture Is rare photographic feat, for night pletures of tiring are made as
perfect as this very Infrequently. The beh h of smoke from the explosion of
the charge which In the daytime would be nothing more than smoke, Is a
of light at night and make* a moat unusual sight.
Signs of Spring
i If the present weather continues, Seward citizens
may yet be able to plant gardens and watch the product
; at least sprout before winter.

Tomorrow is the last day of the third Liberty loan
bond campaign. President Wilson wants to see the sub
scription go over the top and if there are any in bewai d
who feel aide, who have not yet purchased a bond, the
lime is short;noon tomorrow being the last opportunity.

This is a tough world. When one is working hard
and doing the best he can, others hang around and crit
icise and tell one another how the work could be done
better.
The Seward Chamber of Commerce is showing zest
in the work required and lost no time in urgingf all Re
presentatives at Washington, D. C. ,to vote for the oil
land leasing bill which will open certain areas in Alaska.
There are a lot of high fliers who wouldn’t know how
to get into an aeroplane even with instructions given in
the many aviation camps in the United States.
Reading over the Alaska exchanges it is amusing to
catch the headlines regarding the cock-sure forecast on
the recent primary election. My, but there were many
Dad dopesters.
While we admit that perhaps we would pass for looks
in the night time, that picture on the permit cards that
Thwaites took-wow, gosh, but aren’t we all the homely
busses? „ \ \
A man will forget the nine favors you did for him

You may have noticed that work done while you
wait usually look and wears like that kind of work.
