SEWARD, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23,1916.
The weather prophet who could tell what kind of a
winter we shall have this time might make a piece of easy
monev. All the oldtimers who have asked themselves that
%
question for nearly a score of years seem to be divided on
the subject now. They have summoned up all their previ
ous observations and amateur investigations to reinforce
their ability to read the present signs, but it can be said
that the majority believe that this will he a fine fall, the
winter will be late in coming and not at all so severe as it
was last year. Of course, if the majority said anything
less pleasant no one would believe them. That is the fate
of all prophets. They must say something good or he
scorned to silence. And it is just because people will think
only of pleasant prophecies that so many prophecies seem
to come true. If the prophecy about the coming winter is
wrong, forget it. Any man who woke this morning and
saw Summer redivivus became a prophet unto liimselt,
anyhow.
*
The President of the United States just now is fight
ing for an eight hour day and every man in the nation
who can look at the question impassionately or without
prejudice agrees with him and is at his back. The trend
of the times is towards making the lot of the poorer people
easier. The proletariat broke away from slavery even
when they had to wade through their blood and now that
the workers of the world have got the vote and intelli
gence they are not going to go back to the chains. Presi
dent Wilson realizes the direction affairs are taking and
anyone who does not simply is lacking in himself.
We all read about the battle of Jutland and we
thought it tine reading, but one should read a letter from
a British Columbia boy, who was on one of the light cruis
ers, to his mother. A German ship at a distance of three
hundred yards sent a broadside into this cruiser and drove
six holes through it, clean through. Then the lights on the
Britisher had to be put out as they showed through the
holes in the darkness. All was pitch dark. The wounded
were groaning and some of them rolled themselves
through the shell holes to quench their burning tortures
in the cold waters and death. Some of the sufferers'sall
ed on their mothers above the roar of the gCms and then
flames burst out and a cheer came through the gloom
from the enemy and sounded like demons gloating over
the torture. At the end of the letter the brave but phi
losophical sailor says that “he lias all he wants of it.” It
must have been hell.
TRIANGULAR FIGHT ON
FOR COLO. GOVERNORSHIP
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
DENVER. Colo.. August 10. —The
most spirited republican race for gov
ernor in years featured the opening
of the republican state assembly here
today. Governor George Carton.
Samuel D. Nicholson and Allison
were assured the necessary 10 per
cent vote in the convention to have
their names placed on the ballot in
Sept. 12 primaries.
The six presidential electors to be
named to*lay probably will be follow
ers of Charles K. Hughes.
Before the opening of the conven
tion today plans were rife to make a
bid for the support of the Colorado

Buy a Home in Woodrow
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 lamous 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.
