One thing which should be always impressed on the
government and its officials in Alaska is that it will re
quire more inducements to get settlers on Alaska lands
than on lands outside. One would have imagined that the^
succeeding administrations would have felt that eveij,
facility should be given to people to take up lands in a ter-,
ritorv so remote and so devoid of the many conveniences
and social possibilities of home settled countries. Instead!
of this the feeling cannot be banished that obstacles havej
been placed in the way of settlers. We all know that the|
homesteaders near Seward city had to spend almost twice
the legal time on the ground before they could secuie theii
patents, and the chances are good that those patents
would not yet be in their possession had Chairman tides
of the Engineering Commission not required the timber
for ties.
Most likely we shall find this Mexican business die!
away again in a day or two. Has is said before todaj s
cables arrive, and judging by the news of the past few
days it is taking a big chance in the prophesying business,!
but the apparent imminence of war should not cause un
easiness. Usually two arguing nations go as far as that
before deciding not to fight. If one tenth of the wars that*
looked imminent occurred the world would be in constant
turmoil. Nations are very much like school boys in many
ways. We have all seen two kids facing each other with)
their little fists tied up and ostensibly pining for the fight
to begin when in reality they have a very robust desire
to avoid it. They go just as far as their wits tell them they
mac go without making the fight inevitable and then peace
suddenly reigns.
Mexico is bluffing. Mexico is not a fool and must
know that if it can avoid a fight with the United States it
is avoiding a terrible punishment The l niteil States
wants no war with Mexico. There is nothing to gain if
national honor can be conserved by peaceful methods._
A convention of the Democratic
party of the Third Judicial Division
of Alaska, is hereby called to meet in
the City of Seward July 26, at 2 p. m.
for the purpose of nominating one
Senator and four Representatives to!
the Alaska Territorial legislation; to
elect live members of the Divisional
Committee, and to transact such other
business as may properly come before
the convention.
Primaries for the election of dele
gates to said convention to be held
between June 23 and July 10, 1016.
The apportionment of delegates to
the Convention to be the same as that
made by the Territorial Committee
for the late convention at Juneau.

SUN OF GENERAL
GRANT IN NORTH
JUNEAU, June 12.—U. S. Grant.’
jr., son of the famous general of the
Civil War, ami former presklent of
the United States, was a Juneau visi
tor this morning while the steamer
Spokane was in port. Mr. Grant,
accompanied by his wife, is making a
tour of Southeastern Alaska. They
are going to Dawson, returning to

“SHACK” AND “GIL”
HAD STANDARD
APPROPRIATED
CHICAGO, June 10, — During the
Cummins’ demonstration Friday af
ternoon. the Alaska standard was
dragged up and carried in the parade
about the hall. The two Alaska dele
gates, Shackleford and Gilmore had
been called away to “see a man” and
it was in their absence that a youth
from Iowa swiped the standard. This
put the delegates in a wrong light,
since they were not for Cummins and
they felt badly about the incident.
They said: “Somebody is always
kicking our standard about.”
Porto Rico’s standard was embez
zled by a Swede farmer from .Minne
sota to add to the Cummins’ parade
in the same manner as the Alaska
standard ami this gave some satis
faction to the Alaskans.—Ex.
OFFICERS STRIKE FOR
A YEAR’S CONTRACT
Officers on the Alameda report that
the strike of the mates of the
steamers of the Alaska Steamship
Company and the Pactic Alaska Navi
gation Company reported on the ar
rival here of the Admiral Evans with
out deck officers, was not due to a de
nial of the increase of wages demand
ed, hut was owing to the refusal of
the company to sign a contract for
one year at these wages, and also a
refusal to grant 60 cents an hour for
overtime exceeding nine hours per
day. The Alameda had left Seattle
before the strike was called, but un
less the strike is settled by the time
the steamer reaches that port, the
mates on that vessel will not return
on her next trip.—Ex.

The Beautiful Suburb
Of Seward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The Govt. Railroad rurts through this beautiful tract.
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.

BALL PLAYERS PLAN BIG I RIP
A trip throughout the interior of
Alaska for a distance of 3000 miles
is being planned by a baseball team,
the larger part of the players being
chosen from those on Gastineau chan
nel. Recently, when the Juneau team
which made the trip to Whitehorse
was in Skagway, Pat Scott was ap
proached by the manager of the Skag
wav team who proposed that - * ~
luiiueu oi me intield ami battery from
I Juneau and an outfield from Skagway
make a trip through the interior.
The itinerary of the trip as planned
would be something like the follow
ing: Leave Juneau in August, play
ing against Whitehorse and then
Dawson. In the latter place a purse
of $1200 has been up; thence to Ruby,
Fort Gibbon, Fairbanks, Iditarod and
returning to the coast over the trail,
playing Anchorage, Seward, Valdez,
Cordova and then home.—Ex.
