SEWARl), ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, OC TOBER 4, 1916
During the past five yea»*s the people in this country
have learned a tremendous lot about what are known as
the Balkan states. It speaks badly for the system of edu
cation in the United States that until the first Balkan war,
took place the people on this continent knew very little ol
the little kingdoms who have now shown that they had
developed themselves to a wonderful degree. English
speaking Americans actually despised those nationalities
and supposed them to lie nothing but conglomerations ot
mongrel and semi-civilized beings until the Bulgarians
drove the Turks from Adrianople and to the very walls ot
Constantinople. At once the light Hashed on the world
that the Bulgars were a people of brilliant martial quali
ties. that they had exercised the highest type of intelli
gence in military preparation and that their leaders were
worthy to shape the destiny of a great power. Then came
the struggle of little Serbia against the great Austro
Hungarian empire and the world was treated to a spect
acle of splendid heroism and extraordinary determination
and cleverness. Now comes Koumania for the first time
into the war arena. She is opposed to the great military
organization of Germany and Bulgaria and yet she
crosses the Danube and takes the hull by the horns as she
crossed the northern frontier and made the Austrians for
a time fall back. How ignorant we have all been of the
organizing ability of those peoples. It is funny what a
self-satisfied opinion we have had of our own superiority.
Let us hope that if the time ever comes when the United
States has to face an enemy in the field this complacency
will not be punished by humiliation.
Fifty thousand dollars a month is some payroll for a
town like Seward, especially when it is only one, if the
greatest, foundation for the city's prosperity. During the
whole winter Seward will also he the base of a lot of work
beyond Mile 71 and the day is coming very near when all
the travel to and from the interior will pass through it.
This citv is now as “solid** a community as could be found
% •
anywhere in the world. It is sound to the core. Every
• •
house and building is occupied and more would be occupied
if they were built. We are a little short of houses, a little
short of men for the work. In other words it is in a per
fectly healthy condition. Towns that have over-grown
have rotten edges that fall otf like the rotten boughs of
trees. Seward is green and fresh and healthy from the
root to the topmost branch.

YIELD OF MARTIN MINE
ANCHORAGE, Sept. 28.—Mr.
Martin, accompanied by Dick Go
heen ami the l)ig Leuger, reached An
chorage yesterday with $26,000 in
gold bricks as the result of 13 days’
actual grinding of the stamp mills
of the Martin mine in the Willow
creek district. Two thousand dollars
every twenty-four hours or $83.50
every 60 minutes will help some and
they are just getting into the good
ere.
Mr. Martin says ho will run tho
mills just so long as the weather per
mits hut will keep a force of rock
miners working in the mine all
through the winter and will possibly
put in electric power next spring so
that he can run the year around, lie
also expects to commence extensive
development on his other quartz prop
erty in the Willow creek district next
spring.—Times.
