mud comes down constantly from the
head of the bay and may be enough to
keep the body down. The blood stains
found on the hat were found on the
band of the hat that came dow n under
the chin and they may have come from 1
a scratch caused by a razor when
shuving, or some other accidental oc
currence.

Administration Gold liricks
When Roosevelt was President the Danish West Indies could have
been purchased for $5,000,000. 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 Hill, $">5,000,000, 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 the work was $711,000,000.
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 Wiekersham that every knock
against the Alaska Road Commission is a boost and belittles his
chances politically? With wagon roads and trails tributary to the
Government railroad you will develope Alaska ten fold. Seward is
getting her first real recognition this year from the Alaska Road Coui
mission as Congress in its wisdom saw tit 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 ev6n British Columbia appropri
ate $3,000,000 annually for Wagon Roads.
If we can afford 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 Ronds.
In the meantime while the political pot is boiling, it will pay you
to call en the Seward Commercial Co., and see what they have to oiler
in the way of Bargains in Merchandise. Don’t forget the famous
Universal Stoves and Ranges. Victrolas and Victor Records, eveiy
thing for the Home or Trail. Don’t forget Seward’s hair Week, under
the direction of the Womens’ Club of Seward.
