SEWARD, ALASKA, MONDAY, AUGUST 21,
The war seems now to be getting more terrible than
ever instead of showing signs spelling exhaustion in the
belligerents. The frantic efforts being made may mean,
though, the last great effort.
■■ — ■ —■— - ■ 1 "■ ' * "
In less than a month hundreds of new lots will pass
into the possession of individuals here in Seward and the
fact may cause quite a change in conditions here. The
number of lots to be sold out on the Terminal tract is sut
ticient to make a goodly sized city in itself. This is a fact
which the local people might do well to take into consider
ation.
The baseball games with Anchorage seems to have
fulfilled the mission of making the two towns more friend
ly. Both sides appear to be more satisfied with the man
ner in which the other acted and Anchorage took its de
feat splendidly. Let it be the beginning of better relations
in everv wav, even while each town works for itself.

An Alaska town has seldom seen such crowds of visi
tors on an ordinarv occasion as visited Seward vesterdav.

It was one of the days that indicate the coming of new
conditions along this coast, and much better conditions.
— ' ■■■■' " ■>' ■ " ■■■■■■ — ft
That Seward is still not able to lind enough men to do
the work needed here is a fact which is extraordinary con
sidering the circumstance that it is a town on the coast
and easily reached. Not a man can be found here today
unless it might be a man who has just arrived. It is also
evident that men must be scarce outside or the Crook
could have brought a larger number for railroad work.
It is now clear that political conditions this time will
be unusual. The candidacy of Cobb for the attorney-gen
eralship brings a full Wiekersham ticket in the Held and as
the Republicans will have no congressional candidate the
whole thing looks like being mixed up._

LEAGUE; BILL SUNDAY
IS TO BAT THEM OUT
lB> Jack Jungmeyer in Seattle Star)
One interprets the laws of God.
The other enforces the laws of man
north of “oU.”
Wednesday they met for the first
time in over 20 years—Billy Sunday,
the evangelist, and Paul Buckley, U.
S. deputy marshal at Unalasfca.
Both were sorry that it isn't the
American fashion for men to give one
another a friendly hug. They wanted
to.
Sunday and Buckley, before they
drifted apart, were teammates on Pop
1
Anson’s famous oM Chicago Nation
als, Way back in the ’80s.
Before that they played together i
in the Marshaltown. la., team, the 1
crack aggregation of their day in that
neck o’ woods.
Hilly Sunday played third, and
Buckley caught.
Then Buckley went North, chasing,
the will-o’-wisp gold, while Sunday
staked claims for God Almighty in
men’s souls. And for 20 years their
trails didn’t cross.

Wednesday the “sourdough.” who *
had come out from Unalaska on busi
ness for a few days, was getting into <
a Pullman at Portland on his way to
Seattle. He bumped into another pas- ;

Buy a Home in Woodrow
The Beautiful Suburb
01' Seward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The Govt. Railroad runs through this beautiful tract.
Woodrow lies near Bear Lake the famous fishing
ground of Seward.
Woodrow may be said to be in the warm belt as the
hills arc so situated as to shelter this tract from the winter
w iiuls.
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
will be pleased to interest you in the best offer for a suber
ban home ever made in Seward.

>enger. The two squared otT—and
fell upon each other.
And they almost broke that Ameri
can bar against hugging.
Buckley met “Ma and the Kids."
rhe two men looked at the humps and
bruises on their hands, souvenirs of
the old days, chuckling like kids,
l'hey talked about God and gold and
the grand old game.
Sunday went through Seattle on his
way to Victoria and Vancouver.
And now Billy Sunday is planning
to go into Alaska next year. Buckley
s going to arrange the trip for him.
That ought to be a great combina
tion, the minions of God’s and man’s
aw working together north of “53."
And unless Billy and Paul cross
their signals, l predict a shut-out for
he backsliders up there under the
Northern lights.
