What is attainable is seldom appreciated. If the people of New York
city had Resurrection bay as a park the world would ring with the glory of
it The people of Seward have at their doors the grandest of natural parks.
Taken as a whole the country around this city can hold its own with many
of the most famed places on earth, but the real beauty of it is contained in
the little nooks and corners. Every rib of grass has a loveliness of its own. j
Every bunch of grass has in it in miniature the beauty of a meadow. Every j
trail is a toy forest road and every tree is a picture. Every little inlet of
the bay would be paradise to those who haven't got it. And all of those may
be counted by the tens of thousands around Seward. They are the diamonds
that go to make the whole tiara that crowns Seward the Beautiful.
Although war correspondents are supposed to have been eliminated in
the present war there was no war ever waged in which newspapers were so
generally used as allies of all the nations engaged. As a proof of the value
placed on newspaper publicity of the favorable kind we need only remember
the international disputes that have taken place in connection with the means
of communication between the l nited States and Europe. The very close
ness of the censor:*hip over newspapers in Great Britain, particularly the
prosecution of the London 1 imes for saying that F ranee is at the end of hei
resqprces in men, shows the sense of the authorities in the importance of the
printed word. At the beginning of the war Germany ignored the claims of
the public to hear the details through war correspondents but soon after
wards we read in periodicals stories by newspaper cc^pjcspondents who dined
with the Hindenburgs. Crown Princes, Non Klucks and the others who had
apparently received instructions from headquarters to ask scribes to dine so
that, under the softening influences of filled plates and glasses, their minds
might absorb the proper impressions with regard to the high aims, humani
tarianism. gentleness ami unselfish patriotism of the Fatherland and its
people. The decision of the belligerent powers to pretend to ignore news
papers while using newspapers to the fuil is remindful of the man who will
not pay* for a new spaper but will borrow it and use it and. after reading every*
word in it. kick about it. Human nature is the same in every social stratum.
NO MONEY FOR ROAI> WORK
IN THE FIRST DIVISION
The Juneau Empire says:
The Alaska board of road commis
sioners has suspended work on the
roads of the First division, pending
the result of the case that is in the
United States district court to test
the appropriation of the forest funds,
according to word received by Super
intendent J. C. Hayes from Capt.
tllen U. Kdgerton. of the road com
mission.
The communication from Uapt. Ed
gerton reads as follows:
“The Alaska road commission has
temporarily suspended its allotments
for work in southeastern Alaska
pending the result of a suit brought
to prevent the use of the forestry
funds as provided by the last terri
torial legislature.
“The forestry fund does not come
under the jurisdiction of the road
commission, but the portions of the
forestry funds assigned to the Sec
ond, Third and Fourth judicial divi
sions was expected to be used in
maintaining roads in these divisions
which would release funds formerly
spent by the road commission for
that purpose. A large part of the
money thus released they had allotted
to new construction work in the First
division and they have been com
pelled to suspend these allotments
until the disposition of the forestry
funds by the territorial authorities is
finally determined.
“Sign 'd by order of Glen E. Ed
gerton, captain corps of engineers.”
