BILLIONS IN WOOD
(Valdez Miner)
Again “Seward's Ice Box” comes to
the country’s relief in the way of a
few armfuls of wood for raw material
in the manufacture of paper. It is j
estimated by the Forestry Department
that there are three billion dollars
worth of stumpage alone on the dif
ferent government* reserves, to say
nothing about the value of the pulp it
self when manufactured.
And fitil) another industry is now
coming to the front from Alaska. Sec
retary Payne while here discovered
that there are billions of feet of good
birch in Alaska, just now wanted in the
States for the manufacture of furni
ture and hard wood flooring, and he
declares that withiu a year or two
Alaska will be furnishing a large sup
ply of the raw material for ‘this in
dustry as Seattle capitalists are al
ready applying for permission to ship
it What next will they find in that old
box in which Seward kept his ice?

NOME PEOPLE PEEVED
Piotesting against the curtailment
of its summer steamship service, * the
Northwestern Chamber of Commerce
at Nome has wired Governor Thomas
Higgs, asking for assistance in an ef
fort to get the Alaska Steamship Co.
to rescind its order cancelling one
sailing date of the Victoria from Se
i attic to Nome. It is stated that sev
l cral persons will be compelled to re
; main in Nome this winter on account
of ail accommodations on the last
trip of the Victoria being sold out.

Did you over stop to consider that
if some people were to die that they
would never experience any change.
Funny. What?
John Noon is putting Seward on
iKe map in many places that never
heard or the town before he started on
his journey. What he starts the big
periodicals will finish and then get
ready for the stampede. It’s coming
just as sure as the wind will blow
down the main street this winter and
when it does \ve‘ll all be busy.

The Poles must be greased from
the way they are penetrating the Bol

too, 'cause they can sure surround a
bunch of Russians every so often.

The Soldier’s vote and the Women's
vote in the coming National election,
will probably march in the same ranks
on election day. Soldiers have always
attracted women and visa versa.

Moose meat in Reward is about as
eaice as hens teeth at the present
time. None of Seward's mighty hunt
ers have come across a moose that was
willing to stand still long enough to be
shot. Not yet but soon.
A dispatch from Wyoming, ’ says
a big rancher has solved the problem
of making a non-alcoholic home brew
with a “kick” in it. He is going to
