SEWARD, ALASKA. Tt ESDAY, MAY 4, 1915.
The Fairbanks Citizen has recently accused Juneau of knocking Seward
and the Juneau Empire answers by denying that the people of the capital
have ever shown enmity towards this place. The Citizen goes so far as to say
that at a meeting of business people of Juneau resolutions were passed, or,
at least, expressions were made, unfavorable to the Terminal city. This the
Empire denies.
it must be said that the Juneau papers, anyhow, have treated Seward
well since the announcement of this city’s choice as the ocean terminus.
There has been one little exception when one Juneau paper went just a little
too close to sneering at the proposal to make Seward the CapitaJ. The
paper which denies the accusation of the Fairbanks paper has gone out of
its way, indeed, to reproduce editorials from the Gateway to show how con
fident Seward is hi its great future, and it was the first to cable its con
gratulations to us.
It cannot be denied that, so far as can be seen, Fairbanks and Juneau,
and even Cordova, have been quite friendly in their statements about Seward
since our triumph was published. In the future the capital question may
come up again. It will be sure to come up some way or another, but, let us
hope, it will be friendly rivalry. Seward thinks Seward is the best site for
the capital and Juneau thinks the capital ought to lie kept in Juneau. There
may be a tight for the capital but let us shake hands at the beginning of the
first round and be ready to shake hands when l mpire Wilson counts the
fatal ten over the second best.
The beginning of summer time in Alaska is worth observing. It looks
as though the gods of the season had been waiting impatiently behind the cold
cloud scent's for the word to jump on the stage and change the whole ap
pearance of things at a bound. It has probably been arranged by providence
or nature, or, whatever you want to call it, that where the summer has only
a brief time of life it begins to really “live" at the first moment of birth.
If a person will only take time to watch he can almost see the first real sum
mer sun tinting the landscape perceptibly. This must be so. The time is
short and the work must be hurried.
It may be that before this is printed we shall see whether the legislature
has really overlooked the revenue bill and the mining bill or not. Ihe
revenue bill particularly was one of the most important pieces of business
before the members of the legislature. Final action on it was left to the last
probably because it required all the care and attention possible, but the
latest heard about it so far as Seward is concerned was that the direct revenue
tax bill had been defeated. We may not have got the full report of the
final work of the legislature and there is nothing for it but to wait and see.

NEW YORK, May 4.—The Inde

concern with being a trust and with
violating the Sherman law. This step
