SEWARD. ALASKA. 1HI RSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1915.
When people speak of the First division of Alaska they very otten
simply say Juneau. The papers down there seem to think that when the
whole division is called Juneau it is wrong but this is the fault of over
modesty. Juneau is a capital and when one speaks of England, France or
Germany he very often, at least politically, speaks of them as London, Paris
or Merlin. This explains the use of the word Juneau by the Gateway when
it wished to speak of the whole division and a mild protest by the Empire
i. therefore without foundation. Ahem.
Finishing up a little debate about the Tongas* forest funds the Empire
in one of its latest issues to hand says:
"The Empire would be less than human if it did not appreciate the com
pliments which the Gateway pays it, and it would be less than just if it fail
ed to say that the Gateway, too, is a tine paper, and fair according to its
convictions and light.
However, the Empire ha> not changed its attitude one particle concern
ing the Tongass forest funds, howbeit. that it is error to refer to “the right
of Juneau to use it.” The forest fund would not come Juneau, even if justice
prevailed. It \ ould come to Southeastern Alaska, and the Ketchikan section
more than Juneau’s would he the direct beneficiary.
The Gateway is correct as to the attitude of Juneau toward Seward
and the remainder of Alaska. Juneau’s breadth of viewpoint, and
her disposition to aid the the remainder of Alaska have been given practical
demonstration tooo often to bo mistaken."
Talking about the Empire, there is reason for asking whether a “gob
bler” is a male turkey or a turkey of any old gender. Some time ago the
Gateway published a story about a Seward “gobbler” laying a record lot of
egg.>. Also some time ago the Gateway told how the Empire slipped into
saying that thU judicial division is the Fourth and now the Empire savagely
gets back by -aying that if a Seward gobbler can la> eggs it wants to know
what the Seward roosters can do. Evidently that paper thinks a “gobbler”
is a male specimen of the tribe and maybe the Empire knows more about the
sex question than the Gateway, but if anyone can shov\ there is any ground
for calling a lady turkey a gobbler he will be aiding his home paper in refut
ing a base calumy. This is what Mr. Empire gleefully says:
“The Seward Gateway, discussing turkey raising at Seward, says one
“gobbler laid”—we do not recall how many dozen eggs. We always knew
that Alaska was the greatest country on earth, ami we have learned to have
a lot of respect for Seward boosters, but we never looked for anything like
this. We a^e waiting for returns from tho Sew an! roosters, and milk giving
bulls”
It is generally conceded, by home people ami strangers alike, that Seward
has a greater number of beautiful women than any town of its size, any
where. They ..re not only beautiful in a physical sense but in every feminine
sense. It is aiso certain that the kiddies of Seward are the prettiest, the
healthiest, and the happiest on earth. As for the men —well, some of them
could he classed with the others.

The engineering of the city streets
now is apparently so important that
a new engineering commission ought
to be established and get Edes or
