Seward, Alaska, Tuesday, June 13, 1916.

foreman and a bad one,

One thing you always have plenty of when you’re
broke is advice.
Objections are already being voiced to the new coal
leasing regulations. One objection is that ii one abandons
the ground leased for any cause whatever lor a month he
loses his lease..

The literal and phonetical quality of the juvenile
mind was shown the other afternoon when the newsboys
ran down the street shouting that "Hugs" or "Huugs” was
nominated.
It is evident that the new regulations giving the En
gineering Commission more powers along the right of
way were formulated without, as Chairman Edes said,
any ulterior motive. The difference is between the train
ing of tlie minds which contemplated the document. With
the quality of shrewd political analysis developed in him
to an unusual degree Delegate Wickersham saw in the
word "police" a terrible danger to the liberty of the people
of the territory, while Mr. Edes, no doubt, mentally de-i
veloped along what might be called "right of way lines"
saw no harm in it. It is positively certain that Mr. Lane
and Mr. Edes never intended to curtail the personal privi
leges of the people. We have their word that they meant
only to maintain sanitary rules and there is not the
slightest doubt in the world that they were perfectly in
nocent of any intention such as that which might have
been hastily attributed to them. At the same time Mr.
Wickersham is not to be blamed for being true to the peo
ple he represents, when lie sees or thinks he sees danger.

FOODSTUFF IN BRITAIN
INCREASES IN PRICE
LOXODN, June 4.—Official figures
which show that since the war began
there has been an average increase of j
49 per cent in the prices of foodstuffs j
in England suggest the failure of thej
economy movement, designated to im- j
press upon the nation the obligation
of being thrifty in the consumption of!
food, so as to curtail imports and'
keep down prices.
The purchasing power of a pound,
($5) is now but a trifle more than
$2.50.
Compared with both a year ago and
tw > years ago there are large in- j
creases in the imports of grain and
flour, meat and dutiable articles of
food.—Ex.
VCl'IDENT AT ALASKA- j
Jl’NEAL COSTS ARM
JUNEAU.—An accident this morn
ing at the Alaska-Juneau, when a loop
»!' a cable caught around the left arm
of David Wheeler, cost him that mem
ber. Wheeler was working with a
crew of men engaged in changing the
cable on the long hoist from the dock
to the tramway, from the old steam
engine to a new electric device, and
the slack of the cable started to run
down the hill. A loop caught the
left arm of Wheeler just above hrs
elbow and the member was cut olT
clean.—Empire.
ID1TAROD HAS BEEN
DESERTED BY ITS MINERS
“Iditarod looks like a cyclone had
struck it,” according to a letter dated
April 22 and received in Juneau in the
last mail. Everybody who had the
get-up left the city; also Flat for ttte
new strike. The day the letter was
mailed a report reached Iditarod that
the pay streak had been struck on
Wilson creek making four in the
Tolstoi district—Boob, Mastodon and
Marsten. Splendid prospects were re
ported on Ledge, Frisco, and Tolstoi,
some of the gravel running $1.80 to
$2.00 to the square foot. No one re
turning to Iditarod had knocked the
new district and those who did return
only remained long enough to secure
supplies and hit the trail again.
The report of the new strike reach
ed Iditarod April 4th. The next
night a free dance was to be given,
but it was called off as every man who
could, had left on the stampede and
there were none left to dance with the
women.

The Beautiful Suburb
Of Seward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The Govt Railroad runs through this beautiful tract.
Woodrow lies near Bear Lake the famous lishing
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.

Henry Weir, Charlie Warden, Karl
Hunt joined the stampeders several
days later. The Larson boys, Harry
Watson and “Blue Berry Jimmy” sent
their power of attorneys. “Kven lorn

brute that a stall is built in the one
room cabin, and there he keeps the j

The letter was the last that wTll
possibly be received from Iditarod as
the trail was breaking up and it was
doubtful if other mails would be sent
until navigation opened.—Kx.

hundred years hence. Headquarters

By that time we will havo an auto
< mobile road to Kenai Lake. An air

; ford to wait that long. You might
