SEWARD, ALASKA, FRIDAY, MARCH 3. 1916.
Very often we hoar about the foreigners employed on the railroad ami
this just now brings to memory a peculiar fact in connection with the pres
ent difficulty. Secretary Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of Labor Wilson ami
Samuel Gompers are the three big name* appearing in relation to a settle
ment of the labor conditions and ail three are men born in other lands than
this. Mr. Lane is a Canadian by birth, Mr. Wilsor^is a Scotchman by birth
and Mr. Gompers is an Englishman by birth. It might be possible to prove
that lots of the ancestors of others connected with the work were not here
when Columbus came. There is only one man who could surely be proven not
to be a foreigner when it comes to railroad work and that is Superintendent
O’Reilly, even though he might happen to be a Montenegrin by accident of
birth_which, by the way, would be an accident almost amounting to a
phenomenon.
People of Seward, we are about to have a new sort of existence. This
city is about to be a boom town ami better than a boom town. The manager
of the Coos Bay chamber of commerce, formerly an Alaska cartoonist known
as “Zaz," writes the Gateway that he knows of several people who are about
to leave that district for this, and that district was one of the most promising
in the United States some time ago. Several other letters of similar import
come from other quarters. People will come from the whole Pacific coast
and this time we shall be able to show them a payroll and activities that
mean the beginning of still greater development. All this will make vast
changes in our lives, individually and collectively. New vistas will open up
to us with the coming of new people and new money and new life. A still
town becomes like the stagnant ocean of the Ancient Mariner but now we
are about to have the current of life revived and the flowing tide will be
with us. Let us take it at the flood.
There is a chance for Seward now to adopt the martial spirit, or there
will be when the Militia bill becomes law. Und$r the bill the government
supplies equipment, uniforms and other necessaries and each company elects
its own officers, a captain and two lieutenants. There would be only very* little
difficulty in getting a trained leader or leaders. In the engineering office at
the Railroad building, for instance, there is a young man who fought as a
captain in Cuba and raised the American flag over a hostile fort. There are
probably others who have a knowledge of military’ drill, but, anyhow, the
chance to train scores of boys and give them something to instil patriotic
thought, even if only thought, ought to be accepted. The declaration of war
by Japan against Matanuska Junction is probably remote but the militia,
might be useful for police duties also when the big, strange crowd comes into
this section.

BRITISH WAR

ENT SPEAKS OF SEA FIGHT

By ED. L. KEEN
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
WITH THE CAT SQAUDRON
(Somewhere on the English coast),
Jan. 23.—(By Mail)—“In case of a
sudden call, how long would it take
you to get under way?”
“Oh, not very long."
“How many of those four-inch
shells do you usually carry?"
“Well, a good many."
“How rapidly can you tire that new
gun?”
“That all depends, you know’."
Thus did the skillful sea-fighter dodge
some of the multitude of questions
tired at him today by his visitors.
Like the British fleet itself, he is not
only right on the job but he is tak
ing no foolish chances.
It was an Admiralty house party.
The Allied and neutral w-orlds were
the guests in the the persons of about
forty correspondents from America,
France, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Den
mark, Holland and Spain, besides1 a
number from England, Australia and
Canada.
Perhaps there was a German spy
in our midst, despite the care exer
cised by the revolving chair warriors
in Whitehall in selecting the party's
personnel. If so, probably he learned
some things, but there are a lot he
would like to learn that he didn't.
He surely must have been impressed
right at the start with the fact that
the British naval officer can be charm
ingly courteous without being unduly
communicative, and that the British
blue-jacket has been quite as well
drilled in controlling his tongue as in
manning the guns.
Another thing he must have learn
ed before the day was over, if he
didn’t know it before, was that there j
are no croakers among these sea-1
fighters. The men of the Cat Squad
ron are the cheerfulcst lot of Brit-1
ishers I’ve met since the war started,
as well as among the hardest w’orked.

MAYOR’S WIFE BAKES
HER OWN BREAD
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
CLEVELAND, Feb. 22. — Mrs.
Harry L. Davis, wife of Cleveland’s
mayor, bakes her own bread. “I do it
because I think no housekeeper ought
to buy from baker what she can make
herself,” said Mrs. Davis today. “Be
sides, Harry likes my bread.” Mrs.
Davis, who bakes three loaves twice
a week, recently was awarded fourth
prize in a bread-baking contest at a
