SEWARD. VLASK V, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1915.
According to the Anchorage Pioneer of November L*t Delegate Wieker
*ham expressed the opinion in his speech there that Congress will unques
tionably appropriate the money to bo asked for by Secretary Lane. \V hat
over else one might say about the delegate he is gifted with commonsense
and in this ease he condemned all attempts at agitation. He declared that he
had put that railroad bill through congress, or had aided in getting it
hrough, and ho foil a personally strong desire to see the work successfully
carried out
One remarkable little fact is worth noting in this connection. Before
Mr. Wickersham came and saw the railroad work and spoke his opinion a
puny otTort was being made to create dissension. This paper condemned it
at the time, long before the delegate had spoken, and there is some satis
faction in contemplating the utter silence that suddenly fell over the
agitators.
What a strange hold Wickersham ha.- got on his followers! As a sub
ject for calm, unprejudiced study the “Gentleman from Alaska is mighty in
teresting. He is supported by some of the very wors* elements in Alaska liie
ami by some of the best men of the territory and all swear by him and ac
cept. very often blindly, hi.- dictum as they might accept the ex cathedra
statement of the Vatican or the “official announcement of an oracle.
Some of them, no doubt, thought that when they attacked the Guggen
heims as arch-conspirators against the government railroad Wickersham
would come along and clap them on the back. On the way up the coast sev
eral of the anti-Gugg genus went' to see the delegate to receive his approba
tion as a sheep dog comes to have his head patted by the shepherd and master
when he thinks he ha.- barked with dog-like faithfulness. Did they get the
pats? Oh. no; They got a good hard kick in the ribs.
A peculiar little occurrence took place the other day. A merchant of
Seward made the remark that if he ever quit business he would never go in
business for himself—he would work for wages. On the very day following
a clerk in that merchant’s store made the remark that he wished he had the
boss’s money and a business of his own. Neither of them seemed to know
that even if their positions were reversed neither would be satisfied. An
other business man was kicking about quiet times in this same old town,
recently and a native philosopher who heard him dilated later on what a
difference there is between the lot of a man in Seward who has three meals a
day and a warm bed ^nd the man who is shivering in a frozen or muddy
trench w ith shells bursting around him and threatening to tear out his vitals. |
When you are on the way to bed tonight picture yourself lying up against ■
the railroad embankment in the open with that north wind blowing and the
whole night ancad of you. and with a slim chance of living to see the sun.
Which would ycu rather get—a bill or a bullet.’

SAYS SEWARD WAS FROZEN
IT ON OCTOBER EIGHTH
Everything in Seward and the Cook
Inlet country was frozen up on Octob
er 8 this year. This is a remarkable
bit of intelligence which the people of
Seward themselves were not aware
of but which the Fairbanks News
Miner stated under a Seward tele- j
graph date line. It is a pity that
such stuff as that gets abroad. It ■
may be a mistake in reading the tele
grams but it shows, at least, how ,
careful correspondents ought to be if;
they really have a desire to tell the
facts about Seward. The following
is the dispatch as printed in the
News-Miner:
“FREEZING WEATHER
HAS HOLD ON SEWARD
(Special to News-Miner)
“SEWARD, Oct. 8.—Everything in
Seward and the Cook Inlet country
is freezing now. The winter has set
in for fair here. The cold weather
has not effected the work on the rail
road seriously.”
Mince meat, fruit cakes, plum and
fig pudding.

The Joys and Clothes
4 ofYuletide 4
. M | im-i-miiii- i t - | | »
/CHRISTMAS without mistletoe and holly,
without songs and festivities, without house
adornment and good looking clothes — would
still be Christmas. The joys of Yuletide are of
the spirit. Yet how much more keenly do we
feel these joys because of the century-old Christ
mas customs! And one of the best of these
customs is that we be dressed well for the gather
ings of Christmas time.
Schoenbrun sisj Tailoring SEWARD
Say “Shaync-Brun” ALASKA
will appeal to you at this time because it's tailoring that
makes you look well in any gathering—so rich is it in
variety of woolens, so modern in its fashions, so well
fitting, so excellently tailored. For your Christmas clothes
