SEWARI). ALASKA. THURSDAY. NOV. 23. 191(5.
Captain Hickman, the well known pioneer navigator,
was speaking here the other day with some old friends ^
he had known in Dawson and other camps and the con
versation turned to the destruction of so many Alaskan i
towns by tires. A Seward man made the remark that this ‘
city has been very lucky in this respect and the captain |
told him it was no luck but was due to thefactthat Seward
has an elVicent electric lighting system.
This is realty a fact, and a fact which the people have
hardly been aware of. All the great fires were caused by ■
lamps or other old-fashioned lights. Nome, lor instance,
had all its business district razed by the upsetting of a
lamp, and several such other instances could be mention
ed. The Seward Electric Company is the best insurance
Seward could have.
Some remarkable news about the nation’s food sup
ply has arrived in the past couple of days. Investigators
have found that some speculators bought the crops while !
growing and then let them rot to increase the price. An
other story is that of Fitzgerald’s hill for an embargo oil
food. It is also now learned that the blockade ol Ger- |!
many by the Allies is cutting down, wonderful to say, the j
crops in the l nited States and Canada. 1 he last year lie- j
fore the war Germany sent to the United States sixteen ;
million dollars worth of fertilizer and the failure to secure j
this fertilizer now, it is claimed, has resulted in a loss ot
forty per cent of our crops. These are all most remark
able facts and actually mean the possibility that when the
Allied nations blockaded Germany and created .blacklists j
they were hurting themselves. Fitzgerald’s Will is sure
to cause a tremendous fight. On one side will be the sup- ;
porters of the hill and on the other will be those who have
cornered wheat for shipment. In the meantime loaves of !
oread are going up to three and four times their normal |
prices. Fitzgerald, by the way, is the man who, as chair- jj
man of the appropriations committee, insisted on giving
the money for the railroad work here last spring.

The conditions in California with regard to the presi
dential election, as told in today’s dispatches, sound too
much like Mexico to he pleasant. The people of California
voted for Wilson and if any officials or any politicians now
try by crookedness to offset the will of the people it would >1
save the nation, perhaps, future bloodshed and turmoil it
they were treated as traitors. Upright Republicans
would be the first to stand in a firing squad to punish any
man who threatens the C onstitution and the nation’s sta
biiitv. Californians live too near Mexico and are too
%
»'uch alive to the consequences of such actions in that
countiv to stand for them.

01* Seward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The Govt. Railroad runs through this beautiful tract.
Woodrow lies near Bear Lake the famous fishing
ground of Seward.
Woodrow may be said to be in the warm belt as the
hills are so situated as to shelter This tract from the winter
winds.
Woodrow is situated just this side of the Bungalow
and plotted on the most desirable portion of the Johnson
Homestead.
A tract in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.
The price is so low that no one can complain.
You can buy a tract of about one third the size of a
block in Seward lor $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low as $25—$50 and $75.
The title is clear—A warranty deed, first handed.
Woodrow is plotted in tracts situated each on a street
and corner on an alley. Each plot is easy to access.
Woodrow is a beautifully wooded tract and a veri
table park.
ROMIG & ROMIG are handling this property and
will be pleased to interest you in the best offer for a subcr
ban home ever made in Seward.
