SEWARD SEED SEWING SYNDICATE
AIMS BLOW AT HIGH COST OF FOOD
The Small and Big Produce Cor
poration, limited, recently organized
in Seward for the purpose of inten
sive cultivation of garden tracts, has
been carrying on its work unbeknown
to most of our residents, and almost
as unknown to the said tracts.
Members of the new firm are, Bill
Small, president; E. L. “Railroad"
Davis, vice president, and Charles F.
(Fat) Hewitt, secretary. The new
company has secured a site for their
activities on Third avenue and some
work has been done toward shaping
the ground for productive purposes.
The proclamation of the president urg
ing that every effort be put forth to
increase food production, and the fact
that everybody is doing it, led to the
to Davis the wisdom which he con
tracted from Fat the day before, and
at intervals Fat imparted further
knowledge to Bill. When speaking
of the progress already made “Kail
road” Davis said, in part:
“We have planted potatoes on the
main line and with a little further
ballasting will be ready to start the
laying of a few spurs of radishes and
onions. 1 expect that Yardmaster
Hewitt will put up the block signals
this week so that we can distinguish
the beets from the peas. We are hav
ing some trouble with animals and
expect to put in some cattle guards
to keep them off our right of way.
Otherwise we are still running on
schedule. The rain of the past few

formation of the truck gardening
company.
People who have watched the prog
ress of the work say that the new
firm must be doing lots of b'.sir.ess
to have so many supervisors, time
keepers and instructors. It has been
stated that the officers of the com
pany compose a kind of cooperative
organization and that the outfit of
shovels, hoes, rakes and other tools
are owned jointly; that is to say, there
being no such thing as using the oth
er fellow’s tools, all belonging each
to the other. There seems to be no
truth in this, however, for it is evi
dent that each one thinks the tools
belong to the other fellows and is
afraid to touch them for fear of hurt
ing said fellow’s feelings.
At the ceremonies attendant upon
the breaking of the ground on the
first day all implements of cultivation
were under the auspices and guidance
of Secretary Hewitt. This was be
cause of the importance of the occa
sion and to add the proper dash of
dignity to the festival. It was also
in the nature of first lesson for Bill
Small, and Fat expounded to him the
intricacies of the trade and the util
ity of vegetables in general. Among
other things he said that there was
only one sure way of growing pota
toes and that was to plant the seeds,
otherwise you cannot expect a success
ful crop.
The second day Bill Small imparted

The corporation was named in hon
or of its president and secretary and
the word “limited” refers to thrt of
ficers’ efforts already expended to
ward the project. It has been said
that the garden will be one of the
best in Seward if Mrs. Small continues
to do the work.

JUNEAU CHURCH
AS CATHEDRAL
BISHOP S PLAN
JUNEAU. — (By mail.) — Bishop
Rowe is considering setting apart
Trinity church in Juneau as the dio
cesan or cathedral church for Alaska,
in recognition of the work being done
here and radiating from the Juneau
church to other parts of Alaska.
When the Rev. Canon Butcher, of
the Erie, Pennsylvania cathedral,
arrives here in August he will doubt
less be attached to the cathedral staff
and he with the present priest in
charge, Rev. Guy D. Christian, will
work neighboring points as missions
of the cathedral.
Bishop Rowe is expected next
month and if he finds that all ar
rangements can be made he will def
initely set the church apart as Holy
Trinity Cathedral. If he can reach
here in time for Trinity Sunday, the
twenty-fifth anniversary of the first
services of his church in Juneau, the
ceremony will probably take place at
that time.

tion with farming.
Frederick Zorn, the “Alaska Pros
pector,” strongly urges the establish
ment of a traveling constabulary for
Alaska. “I could point out the work |
of a half dozen Krauses,” says Zorn.
“Many lives have been snuffed out by i
such slippery eels and crawling human
tigers as that Edward Krause.”
The Sanborne-Cutting Packing Co.,
at Kake, is reported to be preparing
f<jr big operations this season. Five
extra traps are to be put in, and king
salmon will be added to the usual
varieties of fish canned. This com
pany is also planning to put up a pack
of kippered herring.
The town of Brooks, in the Tolo
vana district now has a Commercial
club, with a membership of 150. A.
T. Cosslett is president of the club
and W. G. Mahan is secretary, and
C. L. Stevens is treasurer. The prime
object of the club is to obtain a road
from Brooks to the head of Livingood
creek.
'
Word received at Nome recently
from Point Hope states that the small
est fur catch in years has been taken
there this winter. Only a few lynxes
were captured by the native trappers
and these of poor quality. The ice is
also reported to have been the light
est in years, the heavy Arctic floes
having failed to come down. Drift
wood, the only source of fuel for the
natives, has been unusually scarce and
much suffering has resulted.
