SEU vkp. VL\SK v. WEDNESDAY, JULY 21, 1915.
If the people of Seward are wise they will get to work at once on the
l ilort to have the asylum tor the Alaska insane established near this city.
1 he government will rather welcome every attempt of the people to develope
thi.N district and to make it prosperous for on its prosperity will depend the
success of the railroad.
The plan of sending the insane out of the territory was begun when Al
aska was supposed to be nothing better than a wilderness. This was sup
posed to be the last place where an insane asylum should be established.
I here was no Alaska worth speaking of outside of Juneau. Skagway, Sitka
and Nome. To send patients to Juneau would be almost the same as sending
them to Seattle, anil Nome was entirely out of question, even if it was dis
covered at all when the insane patients were first sent out, which is doubt
ful. There was nothing for it then but to find some place outside for our
unfortunates but things have undergone a vast alteration in recent years.
I ms part of the territory in particular ma> be said to have been discovered
only years after the establishment of an outside asylum for Alaskans but
now that it is known there exists no longer any good reason why Alaska
should not take care of its own unfortunates.
Severe complaints have been voiced from time to time of the treatment
of the insane at Morningside. Care should be taken before accepting all
that has been said in this respect but the fact remains that if the insane
people of the territory were kept for treatment in the territory they would
always bo in touch with their friends and safe from anything approaching
abuse.
The climate and all the other conditions around Seward are eminently
suited to the care of such patients according to the opinion of specialists. It
is the most central location for the whole territory undone of the most whole
some places imaginable. Patients could have everything that any other
place could offer. The expenses now incurred for sending them outside could
be saved or the money be utilized for the benefit of the poor people them
selves. Indeed, there appears no reason whatever why Alaskan insane should
be sent away from the territory at all but there is every reason why they
should not be and if Seward gets to work it stands a very good chance of
succeeding.
NO ONE YET BULBING
IN THE NEW R. R. CITY.
As Several People Bought Many Lots
It is Feared the Building
I p Will he Slow.
N'o one has started building in
the new railroad town of Anchorage
according to H H. Hook, who arrived
yesterday in Seward and who was at
Anchorage on Sunday. There are no
purchases of the lumber which was
brought in to the new city and all the
people are remaining in the old town
where they first settled and will stay
there as long as they can. Mr. Hook
mentions a fact which seems to have
escaped notice before and that is that
the new city is half a mile away from
the railroad right of way, or it seem
ed that way to him. At the close of
the auctioning period no one wanted
lots, he says, and a person could get
all sorts of lots for twenty-five dol
lars. Mr. Hook also says that a very
large number of lots have not been
sold at all. He is associated with the
American Dredge Building and Con
struction company and came over
land *in business.
GLACIERS AND TRESTLE
ON RAILROAD GOING OCT.
W. H. Fogelstrom, the bridge en
gineer of the railroad commission,
who returned to Seward yesterday,
relates that the trestle at Mile Fifty
three and a half is going out and has
probably gone by this time. This is
due to a movement of Spencer glacier
which resulted in the water taking a
different course from that previously
followed. Under the trestle when
Mr. Fogelstrom passed by there was
running a great stream of water
about two hundred feet wide and six
feet in depth and he has no doubt
! that part of the structure is now
floating with it. Mr. Fogelstrom has
been at Anchorage and along the
right of way for some time. He will
remain here until Monday or so.
, Speaking about glaciers, he says also
that Bartlett glacier has gone back.
-:
From Juneau Dispatch: The fol
lowing dispatch is in line with the
suggestion made by the Dispatch sev
eral times of the need of boats to op
erate between Alaskan communities
in order that Alaskan cities might in
terchange trade. For instance, it
costs as much to send supplies a few
miles from Juneau as to get them
several times the distance from Se
attle. With favorable local rates ap
plying from Juneau to other com
munities and districts, this place can
be more rapidly developed into an
important jobbing center, where
stocks may be suplied several days
ahead of those received from cities
outside of Alaska.
SEWARD, July 11.—The Juneau
Independent Line, backed by Brown
& Hawkins, the bankers and com
mercial dealers here, and other well
known Alaskans, has been organized
with R. M. Semmes as manager.
The Alliance has been chartered to
operate freight and passengers be
tween southeastern and southwestern
Alaska to Ship creek, in order to sup
ply freight demanded by the govern
ment and others, and to place Alaskan
supplies which will be needed by the
government.
Negotiations are under way for the
charter of another steamer, which it
is expected will be available for im
mediate service along with the Al
liance.
The purpose of the new company
will be to encourage Alaskan indust
ries, by giving local rat's between
towns and touching at points where
farmers and others may have pro
ducts to send to market.
MINERS (JET BIG CHECKS.
The Gastineau company paid labor
bills amounting to close to $200,000
Saturday. The Alaska Juneau
Company labor bills, amounting to
close to $50,000. will be paid off Fri
day of this week. On Friday next the
Treadwell company will pay labor
1 billa close to $165,000, the smallest in
months owing to the breakdown
which laid off many men for over ten
days during the latter part of June.

Order Your Tall Suit Now!
TAKE IT WHEN YOU WANT IT
We have just received the Fall Samples for the season of 1915-6, and
we can truthfully say that we have never before had an opportunity to show'
to the men of Seward a line of goods that compares with the present equip
ment.
The new autumn shades that are being shown in serges, plaids, tweeds
cheviots, and worsteds surpass anything that has ever been shown in the
North. There are
FIVE HUNDRED SAMPLES
to chose from and there is not one in the lot but what w’ould make a beautiful
suit for some one. The new Fall and Winter Styles are very attractive too
and are bound to be very popular.
Now there is no doubt but what you will want a suit or an overcoat, or
both this Fall. You do not know just when you will want it exactly, but
would’nt you like to know that when you want it, it will be here all ready
for you, made to your individual measure in the style that you like and from
your own fabric selection.
This Is Our Proposition:
Come in today while the samples are all new and you are sure of getting
your first choice. Make your selection, and we will send and get the suit
for you and hold it in stock for you until you need it.
YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED
to take the suit or coat at all, nor do you have to make a deposit. We know
the kind of clothes that we turn out and we know’ that if you know that there
is a suit here like we will make for you, that you will want it as soon as you
see it. Come in today and let us take your measure, or at least have a look
at the Samples.
