SEWARD, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. <1. ISIS.
So many lots have been sold in Anchorage, the town
site has been made so large that the city is divided in two.
Indeed, one might almost say that it has been divided into
tw o warring camps. Judging by w hat one hears, one end
of Anchorage seems to have no more use for the othei
end than either end has tor this tail* city ol our ow n. 1 his
is not said to hurt Anchorage in any way, or even to be
offensive in the slightest. Seward leaves that to Anchor
age publications and Seward believes that the bulk ot the
people of the new railroad city are not so hostile as their
printed mouthpieces make them appear.
All this is said to show the danger that might arise
from the division ot the business districts ot towns. 1 heie
is no earthly reason apparent why the government should
sell twenty thousand lots for the use ot a thousand people.
All the way through enough has happened to suggest that
the government has laid itself out to make absolutely sifre
that no one can make any money out ot lots. At least it
does not seem to be as careful as it should be about helping
purchasers to make money out of their investments. It
even seems sometimes to act in a manner that would en
danger the value of the property ol the older settleis.
This might all be just imagined but things have happened
which are well calculated* wittingly or unwittingly, to aid
the imagination in conjuring up such fancies, and one
wonders if anything that will happen in this town ot Sew
ard this month might have the same tendency, imagined
or real.
In taking retaliatory steps to protect its own mer
chants from belligerent powers the l nited States has
probably nipped in the bud a plan which might possibly
have been formulated to steal American trade now and for
all time. The world powers nowadays are so much steeped
in ponimpivnulieiu. thnt AhviU.AW*. "'l ♦Mae* Jtfc&etrtnfe Euro
pean war. The business rivalry between Germany and
Great Britain was so keen that it meant either bankruptcy
for one or war. Colonies are supposed to be free because
they pay no direct tax to the “mother country” but a
colony is a customer. It is kept by an empire as a rich
store keeper might keep a farmer on a piece of ground and
protect him in return for his trade. It is all very well to
watch those empires dropping crocodile tears about down
trodden Poland because downtrodden Poland is appraised
in rubles and marks just as the Alaska Northern was ap
praised in dollars. Anyone that thinks a modern empire
is guided by sentiment of the more tender kind has some
thing to learn. The rottenest trust in the United States is
the personification of charity compared to a European
power because the power can and does spill blood in rivers
for its ducats and the trust can not. Each of those glori
ous fatherlands now cutting each other’s throats has a
canny bunch behind the scenes figuring out how the war
can be used to grab the customers of the U. S. and other
nations, but Uncle Sam is wise.
