SEWARD, ALASKA, SATURDAY, NOV. 25, 1916.
The fact that the member of the engineering commis
sion who is in charge of the work at Anchorage must
come out by the way of Seward is very significant. This
is not a knock at Anchorage. There is not the slightest
intention of saying a word against Anchorage but what
is the use in letting a fear of being charged with knocking
interfere with the statement of a bald fact? Is Seward
to hide its head and not bring to the notice of the govern
ment of the United States the unquestionable fact that
Nature itself has made it THE ocean terminal of the gov
ernment railroad? Why should Seward be moie aliaiu
than any other town under the American flag to bring to
public attention its own worth or to try to advance its own
interests? Why should Seward lie dumb if it believes for
a moment that it is being over-looked or slighted?
We have been told that Seward is not being over
looked or slighted and we have apparently believed it.
Government officials have said that Seward has knocked
Anchorage, but even if boosting your own wares is knock
ing the opposition Seward is still not guilty. We have
even shrunk from letting the world know the real truth
because we have been too generous to hurt anothei place,
while, if printed and other remarks in other places can
lie taken as a guide to intentions, those other places would
never be half so generous if they had half our arguments
to favor them.
While the member of the commission who has been
stationed at Anchorage is here there can be no harm in
bringing this subject up. We are all perfectly sure that
in building the railroad no other circumstance was consid
ered tlfan the building of the railroad in the most econom
ic and efficient manner. Later years, however, with the al
terations of climate may have shown what previous mild
er winters had hidden.
But we are all as strong as ever for the government
railroad. It is making a greater Alaska and it will make
Alaska really great. All Seward asks is a fair chance—
a fair chance to realize what it had come to expect, what
it had come to build on and what it had come to invest in.
Seward welcomes Captain Fred Mears. He has done
big work out of Anchorage, and Seward wishes him still
greater success.

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 famous fishing
ground of Seward.
Woodrow may he 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 this property and
will be pleased to interest you in the best offer for a suber
ban home ever made in Seward.
