SEWARD, ALASKA, MONDAY, AUGUST 7.1916.
If Alaska only took half the pains to advertise itself
that Hawaii does this coast would be over-run with thou
sands of tourists every Summer. Just about the tftne
when over a thousand people were dying of heat in Chi
cago, when thousands and thousands oi others were sin
tering and when a similar condition prevailed in many
other cities what an effect might an advertisement have
that would tell of the fish streams, the cool bays, the dist
ant snow caps, the shady woods and all the rest. Not that
such an ad. would cause them all to jump up and take boat
at once for Alaska, but it would certainly draw their
minds most pleasantly to this territory as a pleasure re
sort. The railroads and steamship companies are doing
well in advertising Alaska in this respect but look what all
of the cities of the coast combined could do.
The more the great war continues the more clear it
seems to become that a decision is impossible without the
occurrence of something unforseen or without the loss of
more lives than any nation could afford. Entering on the
third year we see both sides still vigorous enough to start
offensives in turn, and if they have vigor enough for an
offensive it looks as though their vigor for the defensive
is almost illimitable. Let us suppose that either side has
five million men with the best of modern weapons, en
trenched and fortified, and then let us contemplate the
number of men that could be killed in attacking them.
This week Seward will begin its big sporting event.
The baseball games with Anchorage are creating big in
terest and will cause much greater interest yet. The
friendlv business rivalrv between the two towns will make
V %
the games look like something more important than a
sporting event, but the people of each of these two Alas
kan towns will show that either can take a licking like
men. We must meet those Anchorage boys with open
arms and win or lose we shall see them off home better
friends than ever. But, gee, we must win!

“BUY A YARD OF LUMBER”
NEW DEPARTMENT STORE SIGN
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
CHICAGO, July 2D. — Along with
fancy ribbons, women’s silk hose and j
sport shirts, lumber can now be
bought over the counter at depart-1
meat stores, it was discovered here to
day.
It can be bought by the yard, odd
lengths can be secured in the bargain
basement, and various kinds of fancy
grains are caiVied for the more par
ticular lumber customers.
The reporter went out to investi
gate. Entering a loop department
store he queried the door walker who
conducted him to the “lumber yard”
“Yes, this is the lumber counter,”
said the sales girl, and the reporter
learned that he could secure wood
with which to make a kitchen cabinet
or he might buy a piece with a knot
in it out of which he could model a
wooden leg.
“Lumber at three cents a stick,” and
“Huy a Yard of Lumber” are ex
amples of the bargain cards placed
at the lumber counters.
Department store lumber yards are
a reality in thirty-six large cities jn
the country the store people here de
clared today. One western firm
makes a specialty of jobbing this
lumber, supplying odd lengths and
short pieces of lumber that would
otherwise go to waste.
“The household economist,” one free
for each lady. Reduce the high cost
of living. Brown 6: Hawkins, “Quality
First.”
