SEWARD. ALASKA. THURSDAY, SEPT. 21. 1916. j
_
The idea of giving cheap lots to men working on Ihe
railroad is one for which the land department of the en
gineering commission deserves the greatest commenda
tion. It has often been stated before that the best way to
bring needed population to Alaska is to let people have
land on the easiest possible terms. Anyone who says ihat
bringing people to Alaska and keeping them here means
overcrowding the territory is deaf and blind to the history
of all new lands. The same old cry has been sent up in
every part of the world and in every part of the United
States. There was even a time when people said Califor
nia was not worth having.
It should always be remembered that people make re
sources: resources never make people although they at
tract them. A country’s resources are not what is lying
latent in the earth but are what the people can produce
from the earth. Get the people and you can get every
thing the country has. Alaska might have to import cer
tain articles as every country has to import but, she can
export meat as well as Argentina or Australia, timber as
well as Norway, and a thousand other commodities as well
as other countries. But Alaska will have new resources
that we do not now dream of if the people were only here
to find them and develope them.
Everv nation now wins a victorv every dav. Eead
ing the war dispatches from one capital is about the same
in effect as listening to the speech of one of our own poli
ticians without listening to the other side. It becomes
clear at once that the other side is a liar, is out of ammuni
tion, is giving up hope and is getting badlv beaten gener
ally.

Today is the beginning of the equinoctial period and
we are told that we mav look for seven da vs bad weather.
% %
With the beautiful weather Seward has been experiencing
we can afford a few days of that kind for a change.
In a month or two we shall be lucky to get six or seven
hours good daylight and this reminds one that the next
legislature ought to be petitioned to put the clocks back to
last June. The least they might do is to take a few hours
of June’s daylight and appropriate it to November and
December. But, anyhow, we ought to do SOMETHING,
no matter how crazy it might be- to make seventeen hours
daylight out of that seven. Remember the story of the
loaves and fishes.
You might have seen it. but not in
Alaska. Brown & Hawkins will have
it. “Quality hirst.”

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.
A
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.
