SEWARD. ALASKA. THURSDAY, AUGUST 31.1916. ;
--—
Whv do I live in a country like this where the winters;
are sometimes severe, where the towns are so small, \\ hoi e
there are no theatres, a thousand miles from any place?
Everv man and woman in Alaska asks himsell or hoi
self this question sometimes and everyone tries to answer
it.
Well, in the first place probably the Fates had decided,
that Alaska must be populated and they had to pick on
some to do the pioneering work. On the other hand the
Fates might have been quite innocent and the responsi
bility might lie at the door of that restlessness which
comes to all of us at some time and which in our cases
came at the time and in the place when and where the
name of Alaska loomed large. It might have been mere
chance that we came, and we stay because of the strange
quality in man which causes him to become attached to
something with which he is long associated.
Sometimes we might roast Seward as people will roast
their own home town for ever and ever amen everywhere,
but after a prolonged existence here we could only leave
with a feeling of very real loss. Particularly is this so of
the people who spend their happy youth in a place. A boy
or girl who was reared here and went to school here will
see in after life from distant places beauties in Seward
which none of us here appreciate. The day will come
when some such person grown to a man or woman will
look back at Broadway or Third avenue with thoughts
that are really tender. It may sound funny, but it is just
the same a fact that the day may come when to some for
mer Seward boy or girl the loveliest picture that could
come to the mind's eye would be an old plank across the
glacier stream, a pile of rock which lent itself to play
house building near the gulch or a muddy pool up near
the slough. That is what keeps many people or brings
them back. You even get to love a dog if you get ac
eustomed to him.
The Balkan states are all now mixed up in the war.
A few years ago they joined, with the exception of Rou
mania, against Turkey and then came the split up and war
amongst themselves. Could it be possible that when the
great war is over and when the victors come to divide the
spoils we might have another split? It is not only pos
sible but it is something that might well be expected, for
each of these powers is probably as suspicious of its allies
as of its enemies.

I lie Beautifu l Suburb
( ■ I' reward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The Govt. Railroad runs 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 lols
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 property and
will be pleased to interest you in the best oiler for a suber
ban home ever made in Seward.
