SEWARD. ALASK FRIDVY. MAY 28, 1915.
The Juneau Daily Dispatch rather objects to the idea of holding a semi
centennial celebration in Seattle as an observance of the purchase of the
territory of Alaska from Russia. The Dispatch declares that if any such
celebration is decided upon it should he held in Alaska itself.
“Is it not time that Seattle should get over the idea that Alaska is her
nursling pet?” says the Dispatch which gm*s on to say that “every commerc
ial organization in Alaska should go on record against a strictly Maskan
celebration being held in Seattle or any other place outside of the Northland.’*
The same paper sa>s that Fairbanks has been planning on such a cele
bration for the past two years and it will “put in with” the Alaskan city.
If it is reallv a fact that Fairbanks is about to hold a semi-centennial cele
bration on that year Seward will also “put in with” the Alaskan city every
time. Go to it. Fairbanks and maybe* the government railroad by that time
will carrv some of iin over to see vour tine city and valley.
Some funny stuff gets telegraphed out from Seward and its neighborhood
since the government selected this city as a terminal. In the same Juneau
paper mentioned above appeared on May 22 a telegram dated at Seward
stating that Seward is worried that recently instituted legal proceedings may ,
prevent the turning over of the Alaska Northern railroad to the government.
That stuff in junI aN harmfullv imaginative as if the man who sent it was
paid to hurt Seward and concentrated all his mental energy on the task of
earning his wages, there is no worry in Seward. \Te are just as tret* from
bothering our heads about imagined effects o! this lawsuit as Chairman Ldos
was when he s.ud the work would goon without paying the least heed to any
litigation whatever. I’nder the heading beneath which the messages appears
there is printed an interview with a man who was formerly connected with
the Alaska Nothern railroad. The very words attributed to this man show
that he takes the purchase of the road as a sort of personal injury to him
self. If he did not he might keep his face shut. A newspaper is no place in
which to try any case, even the most transparently groundless cast*, but when
other newspapers cannot refrain from taking sides wittfhgly or unwittingly,
Seward should he heard from. Let them forget Seward and its “worry.” If
only other Alaskan cities had as little to worry about just now as Seward has
Alaska would be a blessed territory

Juneau yesterday.

His wife was watching him and
thought at first he was fooling. She
finally recovered the body with a hali

never rowed a boat before.

old and oldest four.
The failure of the government to
select a townsite for Anchorage and
to prepare for the sale or lease ol
lots to the many business men who
art now at Anchorage waiting for the
dec ision, has caused much trouble and
loss of money to the pioneers of the
new camp.
Many of the people are living in
tents. No one cares to spend thou
sands of dollars erecting big buildings
only to have the government bureau
crats force them to move and as a
result little is going on at And orage.;
The poor sanitary conditions in the
new camp with its population of 1,200
men has caused much worry to the
authorities and some action may be
taken to remedy the situation.—Val
