SEWARD^ ALASKA* FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1W3*
An editorial was printed in the Gateway a day or two ago which seems
to have been misunderstood. This editorial spoke about men who when in
terviewed seem to get it into their heads that the interviewing’ reporter is
begging something front them and is a sort of a mendicant. It spoke abotit
people who are new to public life and show it by their lack of courtesy and
their airs when a reporter calls on them. Since that editorial appeared i
some people have had the idea that it referred to officials ot the Engineering
Commission. Such ideas often are created inexplicably, but this time it is
all right for & gives the Gateway a chance to say what it has often wished
to say, and that is that the people connected w ith the Kngineering Commis
sion at Seward are gentlemen in every sense of the word. It would take a
book as big as the World’s Almanac to say more than this, and if that edi
torial alluded in any way to the officials of the Engineering Commission it
was only in suggesting them as a contrast to those who have been less
fortunate in their training.
Talking about editorials and their effects another little fact may be
worth speaking of. Several months ago the Cateway had a little editorial
speaking of the beauty that can be found even in the brush of back yards if
people only took the time to look for it. From Camas, Washington, yester
day morning 01 the Alaska came a letter from W. C. Smith, a druggist, con
taining three collars for a quarter’s subscription and a statement to the ef
f»*ct that Alaska must have lots of oxygen when editorials like that are
found m the paper, up here. What Mr. Smith means when he says oxygen
is responsible only hi tech mu! self coaid explain. The peculiar thing about
the communi ation i.- that th.e editorial was printed months and months ago,
even before the snow fell The three simoieona rather suggest a compliment;
otherwise some natural he.-atution might be felt in mentioning that oxygen
business.

Pd. Adv.
ANNOUNCEMENT.
In announcing my candidacy for
councilman at the coming election, 1
want the voters and taxpayers to
know just how I stand on matters per
taining to the welfare of Seward.
I believe the standard of our public
schools should be equal to any in Al
aska.
I believe in public improvements on
a sane and business like plan. 1 do
not believe in squandering monies. I
believe in conducting the business oi
the city on the same conservative
plan in which business men conduct
their private affairs. Am opposed to
any Civic Improvement plan, involv
ing the expenditure of half million
dollars. Those conditions might exist
forty years hence, but we are not
ready yet nor is any city in Alaska.
I believe in bringing the assessed
valuation of Seward down to where
it justly belongs. I believe in a tax
levy sufficient to conduct the affairs of
the town for the ensuing year—our
assessed valuation is too high.
I believe in maintaining an up-to
date Fire Department and paying the
volunteers sufficiently to awaken a
new and greater interest in the de
partment. Their efforts have not been
fully appreciated.
Water For Fire Protection.
If the Council is aware of insuffici
ent water for fire protection it is up
to them to arrange for it, and if
necessary, install an auxiliary salt
water pumping station, an emergency
station. I believe that all Federal
property enjoying the protection of
the police and fire departments
should bear their share of the burden
•
and up keep of these departments,
and with the proper co-operation with
the Federal Commission this may be
obtained.
I believe in employing the oldtimers
on all city work so far as is consist
ent, and paying not less than 50 cents
per hour therefor.
If the above platform appeals to
you, I ask your vote.
Respectfully,
Pd. adv. W. M. SAUERS.
