SEWARD, ALASKA, FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 1915.
One of the next steps which the United States government will be com
pelled to take after the construction of the railroad to Matanuska will be the
fortifying of Seward and Ship creek. To leave such a magnificent coaling
station open to capture within some fifteen hundred miles of the Pacific
coasts of the United States would be nothing less than manifesting a child
like trust in the goodwill of a certain great Oriental power.
The European war is gradually losing its power to hold as it did the
interest of the people of this country. A newspaper can easily feel the sag
ging of the interest which stood at so high a tension in the early days of the
conflict. We seem to have forgotten that half a world in arms is striving
convulsively in a sea of blood for the mastery of one race of brothers over
the other. We no longer seem to realize that the mightiest conflict of history
is changing the map of the world because the change is being wrought with
the tediousness of the master drawer and the details appear too much alike
at a distance. Some day the inhabitants of Mars itself, with all the martial
spirit whch takes its name from that planet’s godfather, may descend upon
this earth and bring another sensation. But six months later we should go
very near forgetting all about them if they only let ourselves alone. There
is nothing new under the sun because everything new becomes old too Quickly.
The Alaska legislature has only about one more week for business before
it adjourns for two years unless a special session is called. So far as can
be seen the laws passed hardly are calculated to advance the material inter-1
ests of the territory in the least. This, of course, is not the fault of the
legislators who have unQuestionably acted with honesty of intention and to
the best of their ability, but under conditions which might cast a damper on
any body of men in the world.
The mining law will probably come up for passage later. That law
and the taxation law are probably the two greatest that the legislature can
enact. It is hard to see. however, how the legislators can very materially
improve on the Wickersham mining law passed by congress before the Al
aska legislature took action at its first session. However, the legislature
may serve as a school for the education of lawmakers for the time of greater
power and responsibility that is coming and coming fast.
NEWS FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE NORTHLAND
The first bill introduced by Senator
Thos. McGann, after his arrival in
Juneau, was one putting the axe to
professional jurymen. The measure
is short, containing about 150 words.
Under its provisions no juror can
serve more than once on any regular
panel, and if shown he has served
more than three times as talisman or
on an open venire in the same length
of time, he is disqualified.—(Ex.)
R. J. McChesney, editor of the Val
dez Prospector, was a passenger on
the Admiral Watson for Seattle,
where he will undergo treatment for
his foot, which he crushed about two
years ago and has never properly
healed.
The Alaska legislature has “mem
orialized” congress in reference to the
establishment of a smelter in this ter-,
ritory. This document sets forth that
there are many millions of tons of
magnetic ore, containing more or less
values in copper with which it is as
sociated. There is no means of sav-,
ing this iron ore and and it is mined
and shipped only for its contens of
copper, gold and silver; the iron being
thrown on the slag dumps as waste.

MEASURES TAKEN BY
The Place Where Men Outfit
On every boat that comes iDto Resurrection Bay we are getting goods and
the stock of goods that we are getting goes to make up the most complete
stock of high grade wearables for men on the coast of Alaska.
Have you noticed our window of the FAMOUS FILSON CRUISER
SniRTS? You will see shirts there that the others do not carry. Hava
a look.
We are the first to show the new HIPRESS SHOE PAC' with the new
oil-tanned cowhide top. The best pac made'and the pric* no higher than
for others.
In Shoes we lead the League. Felder and Chippewa Pac top mining
boots; Dougherty heavies and Buckingham & Hecht shoes for the hills;
Florsheim Dress Shoes.
Our line of Shirts is in a class by itself. Everything from Silk to Serge
and the classiest line of patterns you ever saw.
In underwear we have just received positively the classiest line of pat
terns we have ever carried; a round half dozen-kinds of In ion Suits in
six different weights, and lots of Silk, Lisle, Wool and Mercerized effects
in two piece suits. Once over, please.
Sox is the best bet with The Miners’ Store. We hate to think how
many we have on hand, and still when we look them over there is not one
that we could spare, from the humble cotton at two for a quarter to the
silken Kayser at $2.50 per pair.
Our Stein Bloch and Schoenbrun Suits are the choice for all Spring
and Summer Suits, and if “you have not got yours yet you have been over
looked. Come fn today’and we will be glad to measure you and get the
order off on this boat. Satisfaction a cinch.
