SEWARD, ALASKA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, l!)l(i.
Too much can ho written and said about the govern
ment engineering commission and its work. Let us sup
pose that two members of the commission had varying
views about the subject and it can only he said that by!
making them public very great injury can lie done. The
weak lulling t'or a temptation to he sensational is a ready
great danger that should not he encouraged. It must not
iio taken for granted that one member of the commission,
for instance, would contradict the chairman of the com
mission. Such a fact would he a manifestation of disor
ganization that might he the fore-runner of serious diffi
culties, particaularly tor themselves. Sensationalism is a
very harmful curse and the last resort ot the weak. I he
onlv wav hv which Seward can advance its interests with
. * , »
the government is by concerted action and by a proper,
conservative, courteous, intelligent statement of its posi
tion.
For a community of this kind we have recently been
• *
treated to a remarkable series of sensations. That rail
road work seems to exercise a strange effect on the lnim
an mind, or is it that the men who rushed to work on the
road had an inclination to lie crazy, anyhow? The trag
edy of yesterday is very serious and is probably the re
suit of living too much alone in the wilderness. But the
number of lunacies here in recent months causes one to
ponder.
The conquest of the Roumanians siiows that the Cen
tral Bower* are possessed of far greater resources in men
and supplies than the Allied nations had given them credit
for. Koumania was able to place at least half a million
men in the field and it must have taken a much larger
number to force their mountain passes. And while the
l entral Bowers are meeting France, Britain, Russia, Italy
and the rest on several bloodv fronts thev are still able to
% %
detach a host powerful enough to smash the Roumanians.
W ith Koumania conquered where will the extra Teuton
armies U* hurled? The war seems to he further from a !
conclusion than ever.

A report from Wrong* received
here this morning .-ays that C harlie
Halverson, a native, was shot and
killed about two o'clock this morning.
Later. Sabino t'.onzales, a Mexican,!
the report says, was arrested charg
ed with the murder of Halverson and
is being held to await the action of
the grand jury.
At the inquest, it was said that the
murder had been committed in the
home of the dead man but no powder
marks were found on the body. Hal
verson’s wife is being held as an ac
complice due to the evidence, it is
said adduced at the inquest. It was
said then that the woman had agreed
to marry the murderer provided he
disposed of Halverson. The presump
tion is that Gonzales awaited outside
the opportunity and shot his victim.
Hie parties involved may be brought
here and their case presented to the
grand jury.—Kx.
