SEWARD, ALASKA, THURSDAY, SEPT. 11, 1916.
The election in Maine indicates a swing of the politi
cal pendulum towards the Republicans but we find our
neighboring state of W ashington still has its Progressives
to contend with. Maine has been looked forward to as an
election which would be likely to give an inkling of the
trend of political feeling but. after all. a state can nevet\
be trusted to vote in state elections as it votes in general
elections. There is always a sort of a “floating” vote
which is very easily shoved one way or the other. Wilson
might make a speech tomorrow that would grab all that
vote and Hughes might do the same.
The discharge of fifteen thousand national guards
men because of physical disability shows how this nation
would get left in case of war. From the slim knowledge
We have all gained recently of war we can easily see how
physically defective men in an army might be worse than
no men at all. It takes a good man to look after the other
kind.
Seward people seem to hardly understand strangers
w hen they speak of this city as the most prosperous look
ing town in Alaska. We are hardlv aware of the fact that
Seward really is the most prosperous, and the cause of
this is that Seward is not Hooded with a great stampede.
Had it been flooded even* line of business would have been
overdone but as it is there is not a business man in Seward
who does not seem to He perfectly satisfied. It is the dif
ference between a healthy growth and the growth of a
rank weed.
The nomination of Poindexter for the senate is a fact
which ought to be rather interesting to Alaskan politi
cians. Poindexter was a follower of Roosevelt and broke
away from the regular Republicans but now he comes
back and seems to be able to get the Republican nomina
tion. Treason to party hardly seems to be regarded as
high treason.

play until the spectators were thor
oughly disgusted. They wouldn’t go i
after a hard chance for they* were
afraid they would make an error and
spoil their averages.
“This year everything has changed. I
The old competition has returned and j
baseball again has ascended the pin- j
nacle it slipped from, or from where,
it was pushed by the Feds. The play- j
era again are hustling and fans are1
getting a run for their money."
Apparently this manager, who
would not allow the use of his name,
knew what he was talking about.
Certain it is that games have been
played in quicker time tills year than
in the two preceding ones and it is a
certainty that baseball is enjoying
prosperity in the two big leagues it
hasn’t known for two seasons.
The defeat of the Federal league al
so has removed competition from the
two major leagues and this has helped
swell attendance. Also many tuoted
stars in the Federal league have tak-1
en their places among the American
and National League players and this
has helped to revive interest.
Next year will probably see base
ball again established at the height ot
the prosperity and popularity it en
joyed in 1!M2.

Bin 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 Rear 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 that 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 $2,5—$50 and $75.
The title is clear—A warranty deed, first handed.
Woodrow is plot led 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
tabic park.
