SEWARD. VLASkA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1915.
The deal made in the Willow creek district gives an indication of what
will follow in the wake of railroad construction. The entry of the Miami
company into this district is another proof of the effect ^whieh the advertis
ing secured by the railroad for the district will have. The coming of the
railroad supplies the transportation and the effect is seen a few months
after the selection of the route.
Very often people around town ask with sardonic smiles a newspaper
reporter why the paper docs not fake war news if no real news happens to
come. They recall to mind the fact that one could easily invent a German at
tack on Arras, an allied assault in the Argonne forest, a Russian rally at j
Pinsk. the sinking of a ship by a submarine or various other horrible oc- |
currences. and they are perfectly right. It is the easiest thing in the world
to do so. Any man outside a lunatic asylum could write much better and
more sensational stuff than comes over the wire. The only drawback is that
such dope would not be the truth.
The KitTe! Tower, the highest building in the world, could stand on the ,
bottom of Resurrection bay in places and just about be hidden from sight by
the water. By the way, the bay at its deepest is just the same depth as
Byron sa\s Lake Chi!lon was; “A thousand feet in depth below, its massy
waters meet and flow."
The latest in Seward; Why is a 1 a. m. breakfast like a pig’s tail? Do
you give up? Because it is twirly.
Itinerant peddlers are taxed fifty dollars a day in Cordova and seven
cents a day in Seward. There is a chance yet that our copper output will
beat that burg.

GOLD SHIPMENTS COME
TO BANK OF SEWARD.
One of Them is Fine Shipment from
Moose Pass Quartz Mine
Worked by Arastre.
The Bank of Seward has just re
ceived two fine shipments of gold, one j
from the Mathteon Mining property
at Hope and the other from the
quartz property discovered by Mesuiv
Skeen and Stevenson at Moose Pass. |
The latter property has been bought
by Jack Ronan and Bennett James,
who have been crushing ore with an j
arrastre. The gold is the output
from the arrastre and shows vividly, j
when the means of operating are tak- j
cn into acocunt, that the strike has
been a splendid one.
RANCHER’S ACTION
FILED AGAINST LANE.
LOS ANGELES. — Proceedings
against Franklin K. Lane, Secretary
of the Interior, the first of its kind
ever instituted here, were filed in the 1
United Suites District Court yester
day by Theodore Bowen, a Riverside
County rancher, asking an order di- j
recting the Secretary to restore to
him a tract of 160 acres of land, near
his own premises, of which, he al-1
leges, he was dispossessed.
The quarter section involved was
entered upon by Bowen, according to
the complaint, in 1903. Subsequently i
an area, of which his homestead was
a part, was withdrawn. Five years ^
later a man named Seth Hickey filed
a contest against Bowen’s entry and ;
Bowen’s claim was held for cancella-1
tion. Hickey subsequently took pos
session and is now about to apply for
patent, Bowen states.-(Ex)
