SEWARD, ALASKA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER, 20, 1916
Valdez made quite a good move for itself when it
started the university school or whatever it is called. Ot
course, starting a thing like that does not mean that it is
a universitv but it mav mean that when Alaska is given a
university the place which has the machinery running
may be the place selected. And Alaska is sure to have a
university sooner or later. When the railroad is running
and the Matanuska mines are being operated a much
greater population will he around the district. It is pos
sible that this division will he the greatest center of popu
lation in the whole territory and if Valdez remains the
judicial capital of the division it will he one more reason
why Valdez would be the seat of an Alaskan university.
The people of Valdez have probably made a very wise
move.
Although many terrific occurrences are taking place
in Europe the most interesting news now seems to l>o
something which is only an offshoot of the war. The mur
der of a cabinet minister or something like that which
comes this morning about Captain Bov-Ed appears to
strike the correspondents as more worthy of being chroni
cled than the murderous movements of millions of men.
The truth is. of course, that we are allowed to hear only
comparatively little of the military operations and wo
grasp at anything as a substitute.
And still comes the news that Sulzer is leading Wick
ersham. It is almost impossible to believe it. Some of the
supporters of Wickersham refuse to believe it. They are
like the man who first saw the camel and said there could
n’t be no sich animal. But some of the Sulzer supporters
also seem to refuse to believe it. Thev can hardlv believe
* %
that Wickersham could have lost his hold on the people
so quickly and so surely. It is one of the most amazing
results of all the elections. And not onlv was Wickersham
%
himself let down badly, whether he is beaten or not, but
the men who ran for smaller offices under his banner have
also been defeated. The territory has evidently made a
complete volte face.

Buy a Home in Woodrow
The Beautiful Suburb
Of Sewa r< I
WOODIIOW 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 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 (his property and
will he pleased to interest you in (he best offer for a suber
ban home ever made in Seward.
