It looks rather peculiar to hear of Anchorage now pe
titioning against the further sale ot lots by the govern
ment. No doubt the petitions are being circulated by:
those who have lots as against those who have not been
able to get lots in the previous sales. No wonder about the
petitions. What is the value of a lot to a man if the town
can he spread without limit? It would be a new means of
certainly killing the possibility of the unearned increment
which gave the great wealth to the Astors and others but
it would rather interfere with the rights of property hold-'
ers. A socialistic government could very well keep down
values in such a manner and who knows that we are not
now watching a self adjusting device for the regulation
of prices of town real estate. Selling more lots outside
the town and adding lots is as effective a practise as add-j
ing water to milk or sand to sugar.
The very fact that a Japanese warship or two had,
arrived near the coast of Mexico caused a peculiar thrill
which shows the real significance with which this country
views the possible attitude of Japan in the event of a war
with Mexico. Some time ago, we all remember, a Mexican
representative was sent to Japan and not very long after
wards came the “orders” from Carranza for the with
drawal of the American troops. Now comes the attack
on the Temh cavalrv and the killing of its members show
ing at least that the Mexicans are not bluffing. What is
ahead?
*
A little job like clearing a couple of lots for a child
ren's playground still remains unaccomplished and the
children are still without a place to gather in the beauti
ful summer weather to have a royal time. And the dif
ficulty could be overcome in half a day if someone got to
work.
People of the best intentions very often suggest that
the local newspaper should boost the possibilities and ex
pected resources of its district. Any newspaper worth its
salt will boost the resources of its neighborhood to the
fullest extent but credit must be given to men who have
spent many years in newspaper work for a knowledge of
what is good in boosting and what is harmful. Let it al-!
ways he remembered also that a newspaper is a business
and cannot cast away confidence at home. A newspaper
that would devote its time to boosting would soon come to
an end.

The Beautiful Suburb
Of Seward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The Govt. Railroad runs through this beautiful tract.
Woodrow lies near Bear Lake the famous fishing
ground of Seward.
Woodrow may be said to be in the warm belt as the
hills arc so situated as to shelter this tract from the winter
winds.
Woodrow is situated just this side of the Bungalow
and plotted on the most desirable portion of the Johnson
Homestead.
A tract in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.
The price is so low that no one can complain.
You can buy a tract of about one third the size of a
block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low as $25—$50 and $75.
The title is clear—A warranty deed, first handed.
Woodrow is plotted in tracts situated each on a street
and corner on an alley. Each plot is easy to access.
Woodrow is a beautifully wooded tract and a veri
table park.
ROMIG & ROMIG are handling this property and
will be pleased to interest you in the best offer for a suber
ban home ever made in Seward.
