(By -F. JJ. Camp,)
Every man during his life has had
the OPPORTUNITY to accomplish
that thing which he held most deaiv
BUT-every man who has had*,the
OPPORTUNITY has not benelikted
himself by grasping the OI^ORTUN
iTY, fo • the simple yeason that when
the OPPORTUNITY came he know
ingly or unknowingly refused to avail
himself of the thing th$t he most cher-!
ishc-i and desired! This refusal to talce
advantage of real OPPORTUNITY,
was and iS'due to the lack of piopei
unde)standing, cmtpled with the di
sease of Near-Blindness. Many men
talk to great lengths on a myriad sub
jects but during their lengthj talks
never say anything . that is really
worth while. Other ipen titter but few
words but when they do break into
speech, each word that they utter ha.v
a veal meaning. These men of few
words arc the men who really do.
• I * %
They are the men who have built cities
and rail-roads, the men who have laid
I he* foundation of gigantic industries,
i!n.»m**n whose eyes are always open
for the OPPORTUNITY which is evo
pa..‘ ding before their eyes, eyes that
m«*y have* trained to see what they
look upon, far seeing eyes that can
instantly determine the real value of
OPPORTUNITY as quickly as they
vi*. son it.
In Seward today we have men of
both c'asses, men who talk much but
never do and men who talk little an i
do mu -h. This latter class of men have
not failed to see the Handwriting on
the Wall, the wilting that means so
; much for the future of Seward and the
, ultimate success of the town. These
men are thinking much and doing
; much :ndividually, realizing keenly the
handicap under which they labor be
; cause oi the lack of unity among peo
I of Seward.

DOERS and The TALKERS. The for
mer class represent/the minority, the
latter class the majority.
The class represented by the Talk
ers can be truthfully called or classed
among the ranks of the Gouge i s. The
Gouger today-represents . more than
• * *
fifty peieent of our population. Their
are many distinct specic'of the Gouger
but three most commoiy found in the
Ter■: typry are, the young man and wo
man who comes to Alaska to work for
a few months or years with sole idea
of taking all that he or she makes
>ac:; to their home state and town; tfye
business man or woman who locates'
.n Alaska for {^certain period of years
.vith the sole idea of, making enough
no ry to enable him or her to returi
to the states and engage in business
with the money gouged from'Alaska
md lasir but'-rol least the big financ
ial gouger who finances many pro
jects because he fools that the money
invested in Alaska will enable him to
take out a thousand percent more
than he put in..These three specieSof
Gougers are the principal ones to be
found in Alaska Koday and it is the
Gouger who is the real curse of Alas
ka. Rid the Territory of eveiy class
of Gouger and replace the Gouger
with men and women who will build
ind not tear down, who will put' in
no« take out and in a short decade th»
Handwriting on the Wall of Alaska
will be done by the Hand of Alaska
guided by #the people of Alaska and
not by the Hand of the ignorant, self
ish, governmental Gouger who has
been doing the writing for years.

Goitger will enable you people of
Seward to erect a first class hotel and
complete the construction of the road
across the Kenai peninsular, the do

prosperity and success that every sin
hire man and wojnen of Seward and
discard the creed of “All comes to
him who waits” and adopt the creed of
“Go get it.”
t ^Nie hotel and road are assets that
are within your immediate reach. They
can both be speedily built if you will
work in unison and the building of
them will do more for each and every
/ ■. -■
on" of you than all the visional tan
neries, pulp mills and railroad termi
nals will ever do. The hotel and road
are real necessities, both are within
your reach, the establishing of them
will make Seward a prosperous town.
The other things will come* eventually
hut they will come much more rapidly
if you build the hotel and construct
the roai. There are men and women in

speedily reward you all in a substant

have so pajtiently waited, much more
than it ever will if you continue to
persist in pulling in single harness
driven on by the spirit of the Gouger
i to ward the goal of selfish, un-united
success.*
!i you people of Seward do not get
together with a unity of purpose, now,
11. mice, you will be unpleasantly ‘sur
prised to find in the very near future,
j that you have been pushed aside by a

at l he present time making all the

c >ming with the sole idea of Gouging

Alaska, but with th^pet purpose of
building up a country that they hare
choosen for their future home.
The Hand Writing on the Wall, $ou
men and women of Seward with the
teeing eyes, have seen, but these men
and women who are coming have seen
the Hand doing the writing and con
sequently they see xliarly what yon
people won’t see; ' THAT ALASKA
WILL HE GOVERNED BY THE
PEOPLE OF ALASKA IN THE
VERY NEAR FUTURE. A WORD
TO THE WISE IS SUFFICIENT.

Nervous troubles, with backache,
dizzy spells, queer pains and irregular
kidneys, give reason to suspect kidney
weakness and to try the remedy that
has helped people in this country.
Mrs. May Bailey, 353 Broadway,

ney Pills are an old stand-by with me.
They have done, me a World of good.
My kidneys were in bad shape and I

I Wouldn't sleep nights and was so
dizzy 1 could hardly stand on my feet. |
Hcauachcs almost drove me Mild and
1 was so neiwous that the least noise
ai’Kscd me to tremble. My kidneys act
i
ed iregularly, too. I used Doan’s as
directed and they soon stopped the
backaches and regulated <my kidneys.
I could sleep nights and was free from
the nervous, dizzy spells.”
