LET S GO AFTER IT '
In order to get a smelter or any other manufacturing
plant established at Seward we must all cooperate and
hustle. It will take a little time, but it can be accomplish
ed. It will cost some money and energy, and this we have
got to furnish.
Our idea of this is that it should first be taken up by
the Chamber of Commerce. A company should be form
ed, and every man in town owning property should sub
scribe to the stock.
A site should be secured, and everything made ready
to go ahead. Then upon the proper showing, which we
can make, and by having everything in shape and ready to
turn over to any company that will furnish the money and
go ahead, you are ready to do business.
A great industry in the line of smelting is going to be
established at some point along this coast. \ ast quanti
ties of raw materials of all kinds surround us in every di
rection waiting for some central point to be established, to
which it can be shipped and reduced to metal for the
world’s market.
Seward has the advantages—go after it. Cheap rail
transportation by the government railroad; cheap water
transportation by barge and ship; the best sites on earth,
situated on a land-locked harbor which is big enough to
take care of the American navy and then some, and coking
coal at her back door, on the line of the government rail
road.
Nature certainly has done her share for you—get in
and do vours.

KILL FLIES AND SAVE LIVES
■ - -.
Kill at once every fly you can find and burn his body. ,
Observers sav that there are many reasons to believe j
there will he more flies this season than for a number
of years.
The killing of just one fly NOW means there will be
billions and trillions less next summer.
("lean up your own premises: see and insist that your
neighbors do likewise.
Especially clean “out-of -the-way-places,” and every!
nook and cranny.
Flies will not go where there is nothing to eat, and;
their principal diet is too filthy to mention.
LOOKING FORWARD
Mother Shipton was dubbed an evil witch, chiefly be-'
cause she predicted quite accurately the locomotive,;
steamship, and other mechanical devices in common use
at the present time.
The man of a century or so later who predicted the
automobile, aeroplane, photographic camera, telegraph j
phonograph, linotype, and other contrivances of every
dav utility, was dubbed an addle-brained dreamer.
The man of the present day who predicts that lying,
stealing, licentiousness, and other sores produced by
moral turpitude, will yet be cured at the magic touch of
surgery may expect, of course, to be dubbed a fool until
the world is electrified by the realization of his prophecy.

Our very interesting but distinctly nervous neighbor
over on Cook Inlet appears to be much flustered, not to
say flabbergasted because of what she calls the envious
knocking of sister cities up and down the coast. Scarcely

plaintive howl along this line; which suggests to persons

who care to recall them, a number of clean-cut truths be
queathed to us by the late Mr. Aesop in the form of fables,
and which are kindly recommended to such Anchorage

It is marvelous how slight an impulse is required to
set vast bodies of air into motion. We remember how,
i
when a boy in school, it was explained that a bird 1,000
feet in the air could be distinctly heard by a person on the
ground beneath: from which it was apparent that liis
voice must have tilled with wave pulsations a body of air
2,000 feet in diameter, or set in motion tens of thousands
of tons of the atmosphere.

moved into its new quarters in the
Fowler building at that place, and
now has one of the finest banking
establishments in the north.
