SEWARD. ALASKA. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 12. 1916.
That was : mighty promising piece of news last evening that told us
Chairman Edes intends to use part of the requested emergency appropriation
to work at Kern creek. The way things have been going it was easy to fall
into the belief that all the money would be used at the other side of Anchor
age. It is now safe to assume that if the Alaska Northern is joined up to
the Anchorage line the Alaska Northern itself will be repaired just as soon
as possible. It will require over three hundred thousand dollars to fix up the
existing road rnd that amount in itself ought to be enough to insure the begin
ning of the busy times we all hope for. lhe whole work between this place
and Anchorage will cost nearly three millions and Seward is bound to get the
lion's share of the benefit ow ing to the linking up of the work by the present
road. And then comes the building to the coal fields, placing this city in
touch with those fields and the great intervening territory. Owing to the
delay we have been inclined to think the real thing would never come, but
things are moving all the time just as one of those creeks out here move
invisibly beneath the ice.
When we read about fighting around Bagdad perhaps not all of us pause
to remember what extraordinary changes modern invention has wrought in
the world. There was a time in our kid days for almost all of us when we
read of Bagdad and pictured it as some place in another world. Is there a
man who has been unfortunate enough to have missed reading the Arabian
Nights in the days b? juveni’e impressionableness? Only last evening a man
in this city was speaking of a visit to Bagdad and he described it as being in
a rich country, about fourteen hours ride from Smyrna in a train, and about
the size of Olympia, Washington. Alas! The days of romance “have fled
from the whistle of the locomotive.
The start to organize the different trades in Alaska to keep up the wage
standard ought to be welcomed by all sorts of people. The prosperity of
the mining camps in the good old days was chiefly due to the high wages.
The fact that millions are produced in a camp is not the chief source of
prosperity. It is rather the number of people amongst whom the millions
are distributed. The higher the standard of wages the greater the payroll
and the payroll is the thing lor the business man, the real estate owner and
everyone else.

Seattle Men File Amended Complaint
Against Mrs. Carbonneau
and Her Sisters.
NORTH YAKIMA, Dec. 2) - Z. A.
Scouse and Lorene E. Ernes, of
Seattle, have fved an amended com
plaint in the «"f *rior court here
against the Alaska & Yukon Invest-1
ment Company, Mrs. Belinda Carbon
neau and her sisters, Miss Margaret
Mulrooney and Mrs. Nell Mulrooney
Noble Thompson, alleging that they
are able to trace $1$.000 in gold taken
from a Fairbanks, Alaska, placer

Yakima fruit ranch now occupied by
Mrs. Carbonneau, but title to which is
held by the investment company.
The plaintiffs hold a judgment
against Mrs. Carbonneau, who, they
