SEWARD, ALASKA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1,1918.
— 1 "
The Fates have surely been rather cruel to the people
who have been living on the beach. For years many ot
them have lived there and have made real little homes.
Thev were close to the water that gave them fish and drill
wood. They were waiting for the glorious day when Sew
ard arose from her sleep and brought them prosperity.
They were waiting for the day when the government of
the United States would choose Seward as he terminal ot
the great Alaska railroad and bring them within sight of
the Promised Land of milk and honey. I hey waited and
waited and waited and eked out a living as best they could
and they waited and waited-for what?-to be told to
getaell out o’ there!
The railroad must be built. Fven the spur to the hill must
be built because eventually a coal road must run along
the bluff to Naval Point, and the squatters on the beach
must move. But surely the government which is doing so
much to aid Alaska might do something to aid some poor
Alaska families by now giving them bits of land on which
to place their cabins. There are some lots out on the ler
•minal Tract that will never be of much service in supply
ing the United States with funds for a great navy. There
are some of those lots that will be bought by possible spec
ulators for the price of a suit ot clothes. 1 he nation would
not lose and Alaska would not lose if the tamilies ousted
from the beach cabins were given such lots. The policy of
the government ought to be to retain along the railroad all
the people and to secure more, not to drive away those who
have been here for years and are here yet.
Speak well of Seward. Even when we fell depressed
let us not speak as though we doubted its future. If we
could all speak well of it our united voices would have
their effect. If we have property in the town we ought to
be particularly careful to be optimistic at least in words,
and if we have not property and we cannot feel that we
can speak hopefully we belie our words by staying. \\ here
are all the business and commercial organizations now
that have been organized in the past just to light each
other? They have eaten each other up like the Kilkenny
cats. - 1
WHAT'S A MERE 103
IN THE TEXAS SHADE
TO THESE MILITIAMEN |
(Special to Gateway by United Press) ;
TOKYO, August 24. — American j
militiamen drilling on the Mexican)
border in terrific heat may cool off
when they hear that 2.000 Japanese
soldiers marched and meaneuvered
for 12 days in Formosa and the IVr
cadores with the mercury mounted as
high as 130 degrees Fahrenheit. Ami
only three cases of sunstroke were re-;
ported during the entire period.
The first nine days were spent in
constant marching, the troops cover
ing 100 miles. Because of the heat,
(the soldiers wore any clothing they
pleased. Some wore helmets, some
straw hats, some a knitted underskirt
or a thin kimono.
The maneuvers were deliberately
held in the intense heat, in order to
give the experts a chance to study the
lest way to handle men under such
conditions.

The Beautiful Suburb
M‘ 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 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 $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.
