SEWARD, ALASKA, THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1913.
Last Monday this paper stated the probability that within a week two
hundred and fifty people would land in Seward but this time, at least, the
real number was under-estimated. It is not all unlikely that the number for
the week will be nearer to four hundred provided the Mariposa gets in
Monday, which would bring it within the week stated. Just one more than
half the two hundred and fifty came on the Northwestern. 1 com Seattle
alone the Evans has more than eighty. She has, as .i matter of fact, just
about an equal number to the number brought from Seattle by the North
western, so there is good reason to believe that she will bring more than n
hundred altogether. If the next three boats bring equal numbers Seward will
he a very much crowded little burg. In Nome which is five times as large
anyhow the one thousand or eleven hundred people that go in every spring
these years crowd the streets. When we get a thousand new arrivals the
real upbuilding of this city is likely to begin. Necessity is the mother of
quick action as well of invention and there will be presented the necessity for
new buildings. There is no harm in making a guess that in a couple of weeks
the new houses will begin to show up more frequently and very frequently.
From the pages of the Alaska contemporaries at present it is plain to
see that the people of the other Alaska cities are very much interested in
finding out how the people of Seward received the news of the selection of
this place as the railroad terminal. The Gateway’s remarks are quoted
in the Juneau. Cordova and other papers with a frequency that shows the
interest clearly, and all of them, to tell the truth, are unselfishly willing to
congratulate us. This is the proper spirit—the real Alaska spirit--and
Seward would be unworthy if it failed at this time to declare—rather to re
peat—that we hope to set* the day when Alaska will have not one terminal
but half a dozen terminals and when the pioneers of Cordova, Valdes and
the rest will enjoy the fruits of their labors, their patience and their am
bitions.
The regulation made by the superintendant of Tacoma schools that
teachers must have witnesses when they spank children shows the tremend-j
out advances w> are making in the punitive arts. It will be a most inter-1
esting performance for a teacher to go out into the street and find some
sedate citizens who are willing to go in and stand watching with the dignity
of a Chinese mandarin while Jimmie is getting his’n, and it will also he
mighty unpleasant for Jimmie to know that his agonies are being made the
occasion of a sort of scientific feast of observation of the wriggles of the in
fantile human body. It will certainly not add to the dignity of Jimmie or
lessen his regrets at the necessity for publishing his delinquencies or the'
fruits thereof. Some time we might reach a certain state of civilization in
which such tomfoolery might be safely abandoned and Jimmie whipped with
out making a spanking look like the infliction of capital punishment.
NEWS FROM ALL PARTS ' Mr. Baker was mushing in over the
OF THE NORTHLAND jtrail t0 Fairbanks in com‘,any wi* j

FAIRBANKS, April 5.—Oliver somehow became separated from |

formerly owned the land at Baker’s : a few days ago was blowing from the
Landing, near Hot Springs, was froz- east and north, and it was not easy
en to death last Wednesday night for a man to travel facing it. After
within half a mile of Yost’s road- the other men arrived at roadhouse
house, on the Valdez trail. Efforts and Mr. Baker failed to appear, a
are being made to locate the relatives seurch was made for him, and his :

FAIRBANKS, April 6.—Tom Jar
ack one of the best known and most
popular of the old prospectors, is re
ported to have died on the Koyukuk
trail. His body was found March 25th
two miles below Wiseman. There is
no further detail given.
Jarack was a man.about fifty years
old and known to all old timers in
the interior. He was a great stam
peder, never missing a new camp and
always being active in looking up
new prospects. He prospected from
Dawson to Nome and was tireless in
his work.
Capt. Charles Volker, famous Nome
life saver, and first officer of the pow
er schooner King and Winge when
that vessel rescued the survivors of
the Stefansson party from Wrangell
Island last summer, has been a Ju
neau visitor for the past week. He
arrived from Seattle a week ago yes
terday on the launch Wilhclmina,
which he and Andy Peterson and three
other Alaskans purchased in Seattle
for a cruise to Alaska. They are on
their way to Seward, to locate in the
railroad city, ad will leave Juneau to
night or tomorrow.
Captain Volker has been decorated
with several medals for bravery in
rescue work, and has often been
mentioned as entitled to the Carnegie
hero funds, although application has
never been made. He is one of the
tarriest tars in Alaska, and has sailed
in Bering Sea from Point Barrow to
the mouth of the Lena river, on the
Siberian Arctic coast.—(Empire,
