SEWARD, ALASKA. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST30,1916.
Should the great railroad strike occur and continue
for any length of time it would probably have quite an in
fluence on conditions in Alaska although it would he diffi
cult to say offhand what that influence would amount to.
It would certainly cause an increase in prices of food
stuffs here and would prevent the shipment ot machinery,
from the east, but Alaska would probably suffer least of j
any part of the United States territory on the continent.
Coal for our steamers can be secured in British ( olumbia
always but the trouble is that all the Pacific coast may
have to call on the mines supplying Alaska and serious de
lays may occur. Under such circumstances, when the
eastern coal cannot be sent west, the Matanuska fields
ought vet save the day if haste could be made in getting
them opened. It would be just the time for Matanuska to
establish a trade when the opposition shop is temporarily
out of business.
It is interesting to compare the economic condition of
a town like Seward or any other Alaskan town with a
town of equal size in “civilized** countries. In the civiliz
ed country many of the people of the small towns have as
their chief aim in life the work of getting enough to eat
and dress themselves. In an Alaskan town there is so
much fish and game, for instance, lying around that the
people are tired of it. As a rule you rather embarrass a
person here by offering them game or fish. 1 hey do not
want it. The trouble of cleaning it is more than its worth.
What a happy economic position to occupy while millions
of people in other parts of the world are suffering the
pangs of hunger.
Do examinations of babies and scientific treatment of
human l>eings have any real effect on developing better
men and women? Let us suppose that one child is defici
cient measurements in certain respects like the head and
how is one going to overcome the deficiency. After all,
has the human race not been improving for centuries.
Visit a museum and look at the armor of some famous
warrior of old and you will find that the man who could
fit himself into that armor would be regarded as a diminu
tive specimen today. There must be some reason for this
development and the reason undoubtedly is scientific re
search and hygienic practises. One of the lovely knights
or beauteous demoiselles who lived in the days of chivalry
and about whom we read volumes of poetry had no more
use for soap than a hobo in the midst of the Cascade
mountains. Let us remember that the “virgin" Queen
Bess nor any of her ladies ever used a fork and maybe
never a bathtub, in spite of the fact that they appear now
adays on the stage so beautifully dolled up. That is what
developes—the clehn and healthy mind in the clean and
healthv bodv.

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 I he
hills are so situated as to shelter this tract 1 rom 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 properly and
will be pleased to interest you in the best offer for a suber
ban home ever made in Seward.
