malamute racing dog that John John
son entered in the All-Alaska Sweep
stakes, has been stolen. The dog was
one of tlie tinest specimens of the mala* I
mute ever shipped out of the north,

TO THE VOTERS OF SEWARD.
We the undersigned candidates for
counciltnen on the Citizens’ Ticket de
sire to go on record us being unalter
ably opposed to the methods and busi
ness practices of the members of the
present council of the town of Seward.
We believe that t he affairs of the town
were not conducted in an economical
manner, and that the best interests ot
the Town of Seward have not beeu
served by the present council.
Purely from a business standpoint
their administration has not been a
success. They have failed to do an> j
one thing that would be of permanent
good to the town, and the people’s
money has been expended in a useless
and wasteful manner.
We desire at this lime to call the at
tention of the thinking voter to these
facts which the members of the pres
ent council cannot deny, tnough they
attempt to cover the same up with ;t
cry of monopoly and franchise. These
are the facts:
The present council is making a
great boast of the amount of money
that they are leaving in the treasury.
They received $804 from the old coun
cil and have received $3,631.06 more
from taxes than the preceding council
received. The preceding council ex
pended $1,521.67 less than the present
council has succeeded in getting rid of. j
The present council pays its coy attor- ;
ney $300 per year more than the pte !
ceding council paid their attorney, j
They are paying their city treasurer
$437 more per year than was paid to
the preceding city treasurer. They
have jumped the wages of the tire chief j
from $25 per month to $100 per month.
In order to do this they have raised
the taxes 50 per cent, and the money j
that they |iave been spending and the
money that they are leaving in the
bank and making such a crow about is
your money and our mouey that they
have raised by raising the taxation to
where when you paid two dollars under
the preceding council, you have had to i
pay three dollars under the present ad- i
ministration. For these purely busi
ness reasons and in the interests of a
more economical civic administration
we ask your suffrage.
