SEWARD. ALASKA. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15. 1916.
It is reallv a fact that federal officials in Alaska have
%
too much power. Recently in one of the other divisions
a judge made decisions which should really only he in the
power of properly elected legislatures and in many min
or instances official interference has been too apparent.
In one sense such a condition can hardly be avoided until
Alaska fully governs itself.
The refusal of Roosevelt to support the Progressive
candidate for governor of New York shows clearly that
the former head of that party has quit, but the story
shows that the Progressives are still to be reckoned with
in the present campaign. The fact that a man could have
started a national party and become its head and then
abandon it while it is still alive is probably unprecedented.
The addition of the attorney generalship to the offices
to be filled by election is sure to make the campaign in
Alaska this year more interesting than usual as it brings
to the political stage some of the most prominent and abl
est law vers in the territorv. Previous! v there was onlv the
% * % %
inevitable Wickersham and one or two others, most of
whom had not been trained speakers, but now we shall
hear the Grigsbys, Schofields, Cobbs roasting each other
and Wickersham or the opponents of W ickersham. And
then will come the redoubtable James himself, and when
it comes to roasting lu* shines. Indeed he is accused by his
enemies of depending rather on roasts than arguments.
Nowadays the chief political argument seems to be con
nected with carpet-baggers and what Grigsby called hy
penated Alaskans, but one remarkable circumstance about
this is that very many of the men running for the office
could be called one or the other. Grigsby admitted having
first come to the territorv that wav but he can sav that he
% % %
has become the real thing. It is just the same with W’ick
ersham but, after all. since that railroad work started the
population is made up of quite a lot of such carpet baggers
and the territory is the better for their presence. It
really ought not to be a crime to use a carpetbag. If it
were most men might hv called willing to be criminals.
Of course, living outside the territory and trying to run its
politics is another matter altogether.

PLAN. NAVIGABLE CHANNEL
FROM HUDSON BAY
TO GULF OF MEXICO
(Special to Gateway by UnUed Press)
BEMIDJl, Minn., Sept. 2.—A navi
gable channel from Hudson Bay to the
Gulf of Mexico that would put the
water that covers 1,250,000 acres of
land near there in the Gulf, was plan
ned by a committee meeting here to
day.
A committee of All Minnesota De
velopment Association and citizens of
Beltrami country, most seriously ef- j
fected, met here. The proposed cost (
is $25,000,000. The Mississippi river
is navigable to St. Paul and it is plan
ned to bring the channel of the canal
to that point.
The canal also would pass through
the region of Red Lake, the largest
lake in the nation entirely within one ,
state. This lake gradually slopes in
to vast expanses of swamp land with
out a shore line and it is primarily to
drain this huge territory that the can-1
al is proposed. River traffic from the
gulf to Winnipeg also is to be consul- j
ered.

Buy a Home in Woodrow
The Beautiful Suburb
Of Seward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The Govt. Railroad runs through this beautiful tract.
Woodrow lies near Bear Ijake the famous fishing
ground of Seward.
Woodrow may be said to be in the warm belt as the
hills are so situated as to shelter this tract from the winter
winds.
Woodrow is situated just this side of the Bungalow
and plotted on the most desirable portion of the Johnson
Homestead.
A tract in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.
The price is so low that no one can complain.
You can buy a tract of about one third the size of a
block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low as $25—$50 and $75. >
The title is clear—A warranty deed, first handed.
Woodrow is plotted in tracts situated each on a street
and corner on an alley. Each plot is easy to access.
Woodrow is a beautifully wooded tract and a veri
table park.
ROMIG & ROMIG are handling this property and
