NEWS NOTES
Mrs. D. H. Cottle and Mrs. Warren
have left for Mile &4 where their hus
bands are engaged and they will be
absent for several weeks.
The coming of the anniversary of
the establishment of Seward has
brought about a revived interest in
the old days of the town and many ol'
the old stories were Moating about
yesterday. One of them was about
Fat Hewitt who was the town’s barber
in them days. One evening a stranger
came in to the shop and the loungers
told him to take the chair. When he
had done so they bound him hand ami
foot and sent for Fat who had hap
pened to be absent. W hen the untor
tunute stranger saw the fat man come
aud wa*k towarils him with a razor in
his hand his feelings can be imagined.
Jack Noon was one of the crowd and
the stranger nearly died of fright.
During the first winter there were
about thirty men iu the camp, they
say, ami about sixteen dollars.
Now comes W. G. Whorf as the
man who may lay claim to be the old
est pioneer of all. He arrived in Sew
ard in 1S96 and beats H. H. Hildreth,
George Sexton and others who came
a couple of years later. Later still it
has been learned that John Noon was
here in May, 2StH», and at that time
went on a prospecting trip up to Res
urrection rver, Ketiai lake and other
plaits. d volume could be written
now about those old days. Broadway
was covered with the thickest of
timber and the only persons living on
the presnt townsite were Mrs. Lowell
and her children.
On the notice to the beach people to
move their cabins there was a noti
fication that a sale of lots will take
place here next month. It looked as
though this notification meant that
the movers should buy lots but it w as
merely meant to remind them that
they could find a way to secure an
other homosite probably.
WHAT WOMEN SAY
IN NATIONAL POLITICS
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo.. Aug.
10.—Indifferent to the opportunity
which was offered it to make a record
for itself on a fundamental democratic
principle, the 63d congress will 1 go
down in history as having failed of its
duty, said Mrs. Sara Bard Field, of
Portland, Ore., one of the western
leaders in woman suffrage work here
for the conference of the National
Woman's Party.
“Furthermore,” she added, “the G.'Ul
congress was indifferent to the inter
ests of the Democratic party because
of its failure to give proper consider
ation to the Susan B. Anthony
amendment. .
“What the 6’hl Congress failed to
do. this neglect being to the harm of
the party in power, the 64th Congress
should hasten to do to their immediate
j advantage and to their historic re
new n.
“The Woman’s Party already a po
tent political factor is growing daily
on the Pacific coast. That power
j should be an influence in making this
congress act.”
Mrs. Field spoke of the “political
tricks” which the present House judi
ciary committee had played in its ef
forts to keep the federal suffrage
amendment from receiving the favor
able action and being brought before
the House of Representatives.

Administration Gold Bricks
When Roosevelt was President the Danish West Indies could have
been purchased for $5,0(H),000. The present administration has no
hesitancy in paying $25,000,000, besides throwing in all American dis
covery rights in Greenland.
Congress passed the Alaska Railroad Bill, $25,000,000, for the
construction of 1,000 miles of railroad. At the present rate of con
struction, the cost of 1,000 miles would aggregate $110,000,000 and re
quire 20 years to build.
The Canadian government attempted and did build a railroad from
Moncton, Canada, at a cost of $174,000,000, while the engineers’ esti
mates for tin* work was $72,000,000.
Is it possible that President Wilson made a grave error in desig
nating Seward the One and Only Ocean Terminal of the Government
Railroad instead of Anchorage?
Did it ever occur to Delegate Wickershnm that every knock
against the Alaska Road Commission is a boost and belittles his
chances politically? With wagon roads and trails tributary to tne ,
Government railroad you will develope Alasku ten fold. Seward is
getting her first real recognition this year from the Alaska Road Com
mission as Congress in its wisdom saw lit to appropriate the reason
able sum of $500,000 for wagon roads and trails. If congress recogniz
ed the true conditions in Alaska they would unhesitatingly vote $ 1.000,
000 annually for that purpose.—Why even British Columbia appropri
ate $3,000,000 annually for Wagon Roads.
•
If we can afTord to spend $130,000,000 to catch one lone Greaser,
we ought to have no trouble in getting one million dollars annually for
the next ten years.—For Wagon Roads.
In the meantime while the political pot is boiling, it will pay you
to call on the Seward Commercial Co., and see what they have t<> olTer
in the way of Bargains in Merchandise. Don’t forget the famous
Universal Stoves and Ranges. Vietrolas and Victor Records, every
thing for the Home or Trail. Don’t forget Seward’s Fair Week, under
the direction of the Womens’ Club of Seward.
