SEWARD, ALASKA, FRIDAY, AUGUST25,
Villa is dead. It would l>o quite impossible to avoid
securing proof if he were alive. His presence on this
earth would be tangible evidence that must conu* out soon
er or later with so many seeking him; his absence from the
world would remove that tangible evidence and make the
proof more difficult. If you were seeking a man here in
Seward you could easily prove he was here, if he were.
You would find him out sooner or later. It would be much
more difficult to prove that he was not here, tor in the lat
ter case you must find only indirect evidence that he left
town and that he did not come back. This proves the
whole thing. Wonder nobody ever thought ot it before.
It is the easiest way to kill him off, anyhow. He is dead.
Q. E. D.
The present city council really deserves a lot of credit
It is doing things, and it is doing them so quietly that one
hardly knows of their accomplishment. For instance,
verv few have seen the fine bridge work and creek work
*
on Broadway and Fifth avenue. It is worth looking at
and why it was not done before is a mystery. A city
council which gets down to real business is an institution
which should be kept permanently in office for it is so
seldom found.
A new sensation was in store for anyone who went to
the dock this morning while the two steamers were there.
They lay in line with each other and for their full length
were right alongside the great fine new wharf so that one
could walk for many hundreds of feet on the dock from the
how of one to the stern of the other. Xo such scene of the
kind could he found at any other Alaskan port.
Xow here comes Xenana, another wilderness, with
sixteen hundred dollar lots. Sixteen hundred dollars looks
less in the interior than sixteen hundred dollars here, but
just the same it looks like a good price under the circum
stances. Xenana, however, is close to the coal fields and
when the time comes to sell lots in the Matanuska coal
fields townsite we shall see mighty high prices paid.
It is by no means saving too much to describe the road
out of Seward as the most picturesque. For natural scen
ery it would he hard to excel the country around this little
old town anywhere.

Buy a Home in Woodrow
The Beautiful Suburb
W Seward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The Govt. Railroad runs through this beautiful tract.
Woodrow lies near Bear Lake the famous fishing
ground of Seward.
Woodrow may he 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 lofs
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 $25—$50 and $75.
The title is clear—A warranty deed, first handed.
Woodrow is plotted 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
table park.
ROMIG & ROMIG are handling this property and
will be pleased to interest you in the best offer for a suber
ban home ever made in Seward.

roasts. One third of this she serves
for one meal. Next day she does
without meat. The third day she
servos another third. The fourth day
she has lish and the fifth day she boils
what is left of the meat with milk and
has creamed meat on toast.
Potatoes are scare, but with more
bread and incoming spring vegetables
the cook makes some kind of a new
dish.
The world probably never has seen
such resourcefulness displayed by or
ganized society as is evidenced in Ber
lin today. Women who could no long
er obtain enough flour for baking
cakes discovered that a very goodcake
could be made by grating up carrots
with the white of two eggs and sugar.
The government is now selling soup
cubes made of wheat and fat for one
cent each, which makes 3 cups of
good soup. Asparagus has taken the
place of potatoes at many meals.
Everyone in Berlin today eats by
; cards. Those who live in apartments
1 receive at the beginning of each
I month their allotment of cards from
the porter. These cards include bread,
butter, meat, milk, rice and potato
1 cards. Every time the hausfrau goes
to market she must take her cards
along. Meat and butter arc npw regu
lated so she can buy them without
standing for several hours in line.
One cake of soap per month per
person is the regulated quantity.
Vet the landstrum frau and her
family make the best of it and keepj
r.ot only alive but in good health.
No advertiser can afl'ord to omit
