NEWS NOTES.
The news that Ike Morgan was dead
was an exaggeration. He has just ;
been heart! from at Brad, Texas. His |
health is fair but his eyes are troubl- j
ing him so much that he has had to !
quit work.
George Sexton has received from
Delegate Wickersham a letter in an
swer to the petition sent out asking
for the improvement of the road from
Mile Twenty-nine to Hope. Mr. Wick
ersham has placed the matter before'
the secretary of war. He states that
the road commission will probably do
a lot of road work in the vicinity if
the government railroad is built here.
W. G. Whorf arrived this morning
on the Watson.
The following passengers arrived
on the Watson from way points this
morning: Joe Meherin. Frank Tasch
er, F. A. Martin, T. A. Setferd and G.
A. Vinger.
Forty men men had up to last even
ing signed the list which will be sent
to Washington by the city council to
show that quite a large farce of rr en
car be secured here for work on the
railroad. The list will be kept open
for the signature of men from OJt
iving districts.
Poor Ed. Chisholm's death yester
day was apparently instantaneous.
He had been trying to roll a heavy j
log about forty inches through otf a •
pile when it probably came suddenly.}
He was standing between the log and i
a stump so that his head was caught
between the two. Dr. Komig says
that he was also probably injured in- j
ternally. He leaves a wife in the
east, somewhere nea- Boston.
In the Morning Telegraph, New
York, just to hand Mrs. Helen van
Cam pen of Latouche has the first page j
all to herself for a rattling good news
paper story.
Gus SeitTert arrived this morning
on the Watson and will remain a few
weeks before proceeding to Kesuree
tion creek to carry on his summer’s
operations. He expects a splendidly
successful season.
Louis L. Harding, the well known
travelling man, is in the city.
The Bertha wll leave Seattle for
Knik on the 15th or 20th of this
month.
E. J. Chovin who was formerly en
gaged in the electrical business here
is back again
Tom Dunn, formerly of Juneau, has
come to remain in this dstrict.
Al. W. Roberts has been in town
for a few days on business and will
return tomorrow' with Rex S. Sey
mour.
George S. Smith and Mrs. Smith of
Boise arrived on the Watson this
morning to make their home in Alas
ka. Nome people "'ill be interested
to know that Mr. Smith is a brother
of “Zaz” who was so well known as
the cartoonist of the Nome Nugget. [
Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Wever have
arrived and will go in over the trail
to where Mr, Wever has some valu
able mining property.
The first practice of the Seward
Glee club took place last evening in A.
B. hall. It is composed of Messrs.
Moses, Sheldon, Milligan and Cosmos.
According to outside papers which
have recently arrived John E. Ballainc
is the chief champion of Seward at
Washington. The Washington cor
respondents of the Seattle papers give
him credit for having done herculean
work for this district.
Ed. Chisholm is believed to have
been a Mason and an Oddfellow. The
local Masons has wired his wife ask
ing if he were really a member of the
order as no proof of his membership
of the order was found on his body. If
he is a Mason the local members of
the order will bury him.
Felix Charton is leaving for Knik
anti may proceed further.
Joe Meherin and Frank Tascher will
probably leave for Knik in a day or
two on business.
As another proof that the Gateway
prophecy of the rush is coming out
true it may be said that John J. Blase
returned this morning from the out
side with a fine bunkhouse equipment.
He is accompanied by Mrs. Blase.
His partner, G. Mitchell, is with him.
The house that sailed through the
streets yesterday belonged to Charley
Christenson and was being hauled to
block 1. The wood shed followed to
day and both were moved by the Al
aska Transfer Company.
Forty-one had registered today at
noon for the city election. Only one
lady has registered up to the present.
She is Mrs. E. W. Harvey.
As an indication of the activity be
ginning in Seward it may be mention
ed that no less than three houses were
moved by the Alaska Transfer comp
any yesterday and one today.
No more candidates for election to
the city council have come forward
“officially*’ but quite a few of them are
in the race sub rosa. The chances are
good, though, that the Alaska North
ern purchase will be announced in
forty eight hours and then Good Night

for the present.

CORDOVA NOTES.
The remains of Louis Schornborn,
who was murdered at Chisana a short
time ago, are now on their way to
Cordova, where they will be embalm
ed by undertaker Lambert and then
shipped to Seattle for interment.
The lire which destroyed the Glacier
House, north of Ernestine, orginated
through the carelessness of two mush
ers coming out over the trail from
Fairbanks.
In commenting on the continued at
tacks made by the Daily Alaskan upon
reputable citizens of Cordova Judge
Brown, at a public hearing last night,
deplored the attitude of that paper
in the following language: “You
know that men who have this feeling
are not impartial, they are not unpre
judiced, they are not free from bias,
in the vcr\ nature of thing.>». The/
are influenced by this sens? of dislike
and that is the bad feature that make1:
nothing but ‘rouble an I the troubles
that these small communities have
grow out of just that very thing, of
men trying to hurt each other and
they both usally succeed if they
start out to hurt each other. You can
not justify these articles in my judg
ment as a bona fide public-spirited
matter of calling attention to the
wrong doing of a pubic officer. They
seem to me more in the nature of cav
iling. I believe that men who hold
others up to ridicule and shame and
keep nagging other men in the papers
are laying themselves open to some
retaliation.”—Cordova Times.

CHANCELLOR’S SON
DIED IN THE RANKS.
Brilliant Herman Debated in English
at Oxford University.
OXFORD, England, March 3.—The
Herman Chancellor’s son, Frederick
von Uethmann-Hollweg, who was kill
ed at Mlava, was a German Rhodes
scholar at Oxford from 1908 to 1910,
residing in Balliol College.
He took an active interest in sports,
especially rowing, but ill health com
pelled him to give up any active par
ticipation in athletics after the middle
of his course. He then turned his at
| tentions to debating, and became a
I valued and brilliant member of the
I Oxford Union, where his speeches
| were frequently praised for their ex
' cellent English. One of his best ef
forts was a speech in which he vigor
ously opposed the notion that German
policy was a danger to the peace of
Europe.
On his return to Germany, he de
voted himself chiefly to literary and
artistic pursuits. At the beginning
of the war he went to the Eastern
front as a non-commissioned olfleer of
i the Breslau cavalry.

LONDON DOCKS ARE
BUSIER NOW THAN EVER.
LONDON, March 3.—The newspap
er charge that chaos exists at the Lon
don docks, with the implication that
high wages have caused the dock la
borers to drink instead of work, is
denied by J. G. Broodbank,-chairman
of the dock and warehouse committee
of the port of London authority.
Mr. Broodbank admits that the con
gestion has at times been severe since
the outbreak of the war, but the im
provement toward normal conditions
is rapid and a few weeks ought to see '
the wharves fairly well cleared.
| The real trouble, he says, is due to j
the fact that the needs of the army
and navy come before those of the
merchants. Military and naval ship
ments are enormous. Although the
war called away large number of re
servists from the docks, there are 6,
000 men employed this month as
against 4,000 at the same time last
year. In addition, the London port
To the
Property Owners
of Seward:
There is a steady and increasing
demand for property in Seward, and
for improved property in particular.
Customers are making inquiries of us
daily .and the supply of cabins avail
able for rent is at present extremely
limited. Any kind of a cabin or build
ing in Seward is now rentable. Eevery
steamer is bringing new arrivals to
Seward and it is necessary for them
all to have a place to live when they
arrive here.
We w’ant to ask every property
holder in Seward to assist us in look
ing after the wants of the new comers
and to that end, ask that they furnish
us with a list of their property, that
they w’ish to rent and we will do all
that we can to lease or rent it for you.
It does not make any difference
whether it is a residence or business
property, we have numerous demands
for bith, and will be able to place
either for you in a short time.
It is up to the citizens of Seward to
look after the comfort of the new
comers and as an act of hospitality
alone it is up to you to list your prop
erty if you care to rent it.
We now have a few' choice bargains
in real estate, and if you are in the
market for anything in that line, wre
would be pleased to go over the list
with you, and possibly wre may find
just w'hat you want .
Strangers are cordially invited to
call at our office and make their
wants known.

authorities have to send something

ports, particularly Havre, to help
handle the military shipping there.
To mention some of the additional
burdens that war has thrown upon the
port of London, the year’s sugar sup
ply purchased by the government has
to come through here; about 150 army j
transports ply in and out of the
Thames; merchant ships are diverted
to London which ordinarily are berth-:
ed in other ports now closed for nav
al reasons; and all of the various sup
plies such as Australian wool, lately
held up by the exploits of the Lmden,,
are beginning to arrive.
