REMAIN IN SEWARD
Few citizens of Seward are going
outside for the winter and those
who are making a trip to the states
are doing so on strictly business 01
paying a visit after many years in the
north.
And why should people leave Sew
ard?
Fay is as good here as it is on tlu
outside taking everything into consid
eration. There is plenty of work foi
those who care to toil and those who
do not care to work can live as cheap
ly here as any other place anti besides
save the fare money both ways.
One hears so often men discussing
the big wages in Seattle. For in
stance one man the other day stated
that he would receive $6 to *7 a day
in Seattle at a shipyard plant. True,
he can, but did he ever stop to con
sider that those big wage positions do
not last week in and week out, month
in and month out and the yeai
through! Take the constructio of a
large steamer or freighter—there is
so much work to be done by different
classes of workmen; when that work
is done they must wait until another
steamer is completed to the point
where their sendees are required.
This means a lay-off for weeks and
perhaps months although they did re
ceive $6 or $7 a day while the work
lasted. But with the lay-off the ex
penses of living go right on and on.
Wages are not so high in Seattle from
the laboring man’s standpoint. Re
cently the federal commission at Seat
tle, adjusting the ship yard’s strike,
admitted that living had advanced
nearly 32 per cent. When the new
wage scale was presented and signed,
the men began figuring—the increase
In wages were from 10 to '*0 per cent.
There was a remonstrance but the
wage scale had been signed. Labor
ers in Seattle around the ship yards
average $3.25 a day. These figures
per diem are not taken at random hut
from those published in the Seattle
papers. Outside of the ship \aid^*
there seems to be very little extra
work in Seattle. Building is slow and
there are no city improvements being
made.
Better think it over before going to
Seattle or any other city in the states
—and with a pencil and paper, do a
little figuring on your own account,
then remain in Seward and be ahead
of the game. Many left on the Alas
ka Sunday but four-fifths of the pas
sengers were from Anchorage and
the other interior places or from the
westward.
WOMAN’S WORK
During the war women will do more
and more of the work man once thot
he alone could and should do. And it
is fortunate.
But from some lines of human en
deavor we wish to exclude women and
girls.
Among them is shining men’s
shoes.
The other day a Boston man open
ed a “girl bootblack parlor.” He em
ployed young and good-looking girls
to take the places of negro and Greek
men and boys.
The Mayor of Boston ordered the
place closed and threatened to revoke
the license of any shoe-shining estab
lishment where girls or women were
employed.
**l cannot imagine*” ho said, "any
occupation more humiliating to wo-,
men than cleaning men’s shoes. The
man who would allow a woman to
shine his shoes is, in my opinion, ut- j
terly unworthy of being called a
man.”
, Women cannot help man by shining
his shoes/ and no decent man would
ask her to. Let the men shine then
own shoes; the exorcise will be good
for them.

ANOTHER I'SE FOR AIRPLANES
The garrison pf an Italian town
that refused to surrender to the Aus
tro-Germans was fed by airplanes af
ter its food supply was exhausted.
This is the hist time airplanes havi
been used to drop food into a belea
guered town. Its significance is that
towns and cities can no longec be]
1 starved into submission.
The incidents of the seig* of Paris j
in the Franco-Prussian war v. il nev
er be repeated.
During .he fall and win.er o’ ldTO
i 71 the Geimans invested Paris so
closely that not an ounce of food en
tered the city. The two million inhabi
tants of Paris were forced to subsist
on horses, dogs, cats and rat
bread was a mixture of ri»v, barley, |
1 wheat oats and hay.
| It is unlikely that the pep’” of any]
modern city would be put to such}
straits foi food. The cities o. today
have enormous reserves of foo*1 in ihoi
cold storage warehouses, which con j
tain millions ot poun<ls oi meat and j
l dairy products.—Vancouver Sun.

IMPORTANCE OF ALASKA
(New York Globe)
The importance of the eai-y com
pletion of the government railroad in»
Alaska in helping the United States
meet the burdens of war is set ioitn
in a statement issued by th1 Score- j
tary of the Interior, says the Railway (
Age Gazette. The railroad, t s point-1
ed out. will hasten the development of|
Alaska’s vast resources; wid oncour-j
age the production of foods* iffs, 'hue
reducing the Territory’s dependence!
upon the United States tor supplies; j
will furnish coal in unlimited «;uanai-j
tv for the navy, obviating Uv* neces
sity for the transcontinental :h:n»ing|
tb the Pacific of fuel for government j
vessels, and thus release thousands of
cars for the transportation of war,
materials and foodstuffs.
The main line of the road 1* now
under construction from Seward, on j
the Pacific coast, inland for 4*0
to Fairbanks, on the Tanana i ive*, a
large and navigable tributary of the
Yukon. There is now in operation 150
miles. i i •
The road taps two large coal fields.
the Matanuska and Nenana. The coal
in the Matanuska field has beer levied
by the navy and found to oe excellent
for steaming purposes. The Nenana.
coal was recently tested by the Lu- i
reau of Mines and found to be a fair,
grade of lignite. It is estimated that
the supply in both of these fields is,
practically inexhaustible.

SWEDEN ANY TOO

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 26.—H. Tryg

grown more wealthy because of the
war. “People frequently argue,” he
said, “that Sweden has become much
wealthier as a consequence of the war
and that therefore we need not feel
uneasy regarding the future. Such
wealth, however, is only fictitious.
While it is true that the nation’s
wealth abroad has increased immen
sely. domestic supplies have diminish
ed correspondingly. The land, prop
erty and forests of Sweden have an
enhanced value, but the produce of
the land has been reduced, and prop
