SEWARD, ALASKA, SATURDAY. MAY 29, 1913.
It was almost inevitable for the report to become circulated that Anchor
age would he the real terminal as a result of the fact that work began on the
railroad there first. It lues been said all along that Seward was to be the
ocean terminal hut that the tirst work would be accomplished at the look
Inlet point. People should have been prepared for all this but you can never
prepare anyone for anything. The evidence before the eye is worth a
hundred times as much evidence of llu* kind that has not materialized. The
beginning of the construction of terminal buildings and the settling down of
Chairman tides here are only wanted to give Seward the prestige that be
longs to it by right. There has been a mighty strong desire evident in other
places to show that Seward hasn’t got a downhill pull, to say the least of it,
but that is one of the peculiarly charitable feelings always manifested to
wards the newly rich.
I nga and Chitina seem to have been the only two places in Alaska that
went dry. The government now ought to establish a commission to investi
gate what kind of a brand the good and holy people of those places had hand
ed out to them.
The government by omission really preserves the brown bear. The
brown bear eat up sheep and men. One brown bear mutilated King Thur
man in this district last winter in such a manner that his old form could hard
ly be recognized as human. Other brown bears killed two-thirds of the sheep
on the government experimental ground on Kodiak island. It would be an
awful pity to kill oft such delightful companions.

Sojourning in Seattle.
Strictly incognito W. C. Edes, chair
man of the Alaska enginering com
mission, arrived in Seattle late Satur-,
day night from San Francisco, and
since his coming here has been some
where under the roof of the New
Washington. Mr. Edes followed out
his incognito policy to the extent of
not registering, nor has be been a no
ticeable figure on Seattle’s leading
business street during his stay here.
Mr. Edes declines to admit that he i*
here, much less tell why he is here.
However, as the wires had been kept
hot between Mr. Edes at San I' ran
cisco. and W. J. Boland, representa
tive of the bondholders of the Alaska
Northern, it is inferred that his pres- j
once has something to do with the
situation at Seward.—(Seattle P. I.
