SEWARD, ALASKA. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER. 21. 1916.
Everyone lias decided to ga back to standard time.
As the Saturday Evening Post says, the idea of changing
the hands of the clock is pure “bunkum.” It is a new way
of playing the old game Let’s Pretend” says the great
weekly, hut in Alaska the idea was particularly absurd.
Some people and bodies here in Seward adopted the
change because no outspoken opposition was ollered in
time and they thought, no doubt, that all had accepted the
idea. Besides, a petition was signed in a hurry. The city
council at first refused to alter the time hut “agitators"
finally influenced that body. Another public body chang
ed the time and it is to he regretted that any agitation on
either side interfered with the important duties of that
institution. The Gateway was particularly careful not to
sav anything that could hurt that body or its work. If it
did unwittingly hurt it or its work or any of its members
by joking remarks it is sorry. However, it would be bet
ter taste for all who see what a mistake it was to change
the time to admit their mistake and not try to imitate the
eat that runs under the bed spitting with impotent rage.
A world famine may yet stop the great war. Here
in the I’nited States we already feel the effect of the in
ability to supply bread and other staples at normal prices.
Russia was one of the countries that shipped large quant
ities (d‘cereals to the rest of the world in ante-bellum days
nut now, we are told, Russia is suffering from a shortage,
and she undoubtedly must feel the loss of millions of men
who were taken from the plough to the trench. Roumania
was also a great grain shipping country but Roumania
now seems to be shut off by the Central powers. Australia
and Canada have sent so many men to war that their
crops must be suffering severely. We know that the grain
product of Canada has fallen tremendously. South Ameri
ca still remains as a great shipper of food products, no
doubt, but shipping has been reduced so much and the
danger to ships is so great that it is more than doubtful
whether South America can deliver anything like her
former share to the more thickly peopled nations. Asia
Minor has shipped large quantities of grain in pre-war
days but all that Asia Minor now produces will be gobbled
up by Germany. And the loss by the sinking of ships is
demonstrated bv the fact that when the Alaunia was sunk
%
the other day she had aboard hundreds of thousands of
bushels of wheat. The world is, indeed, faced by a food !
shortage and the harvest time is still three-fourths of a
year away. It is already apparently considered necessary
to place an embargo on foodstuffs in this country, one of
the great grain growers of the world, so what must be
ahead for the other nations, particularly the belligerent
ones? Does it not seem more than likelv that the decisive
%
battle is now being fought, not on the Somme or the
Danube, but in the wheat markets?

Of Seward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.

Woodrow lies near Bear Lake the famous fishing
ground of Seward.

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.
I
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. i
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
