SEWARI). ALASKA. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 15, 191B.
As one of the winter pastimes watch some of the sup
porters of Wickersham trying to wriggle out and prove
themselves Democrats.
It is easy to see now how false reports come about
election results outside. It is caused by the system ol in
venting votes to make one's candidate appear in the lead.
Some time ago a petition was extensively signed and
presented to the school board asking that the schools be
opened once more on the old government time and each
of the petitioners has now received a letter from the
Board asking for the reason for signing such a petition.
This can mean nothing else than that the parents must
first show the Board their good faith in dealing with their
own children.
The coming of soldiers to the railroad country is a
forward stop. The next will be the coming of marines to :
the Seward naval station, let us hope. If any other great
nation were building that railroad we should have had
thousands of soldiers along the line of route long ago.
The lack of soldiers hitherto is a proof of advanced civili
zation.
If Shakespeare had lived in one of these Alaska coast j
towns he would most likely not have compared rain to j
elm rit v.

There has been more work in Seward and the neigh- j
borhood than people to do it for several months and yet J
Seattle papers give publicity to begging stories from this j
citv. Seward is, indeed, a much more favorable place to j
took for work in than Seattle. But work isn’t everything, j
If one could do without it so much the better. Work is of
two kinds, the passive and active, to speak in the language
of the grammarian, but, to indulge in paradox, the active
work is the least active kind. To work is passive hut to j
work someone else is active, although the very act of
working in the passive sense suggests greater activity
than is pleasant for many to contemplate.
The present Dry wave shows us how evolution works
itself out. We often wonder at many changes that occur
red in the past. We wonder how the Pyramids were built j
and we cannot explain why many ancient arts were allow
ed to be lost. But we can now probably understand.'
Posterity will read documents of this era and bemoan the’
lost gin-fiz7.es and cocktails.

Buy a Home in Woodrow
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 are 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' tha*, 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 & ROM1G are handling this property and
will be pleased to interest you in the best offer for a suber
ban home ever made in Seward.
