SEWARD, ALASKA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER!). 1010
Sonio other papers in the territory are now comment-!
iuo- on the status of the liquor license question in the ter
nary ami they all take a view similar to that expressed
hv tiiis paper, to the effect that the vote of the people in
favor of Prohibition did not by any means mean that
Alaska roes dry ipso facto or even that any judge can
take it upon himseif to refuse licenses wholesale.
Hie law passed by the territorial legislature says:
••la the event that the certiticate of the canvassing
i oard shall show that a majority of the electors voting on
tins question have declared against the sale, manutactuie,
barter or exchange of intoxicating liquors in the lern
torj 0f Ala ca, as n provided, no wholesale or retail
license shall be issued for the sale, manufacture, barter or
exenange of intoxicating liquors in the territory of Al
aska alter the iirst day oi January,
Xiiis makes it look as though the whole matter had
oeeii settled right there, but it has not.
The act of Congress providing a legislature for the
territory, as everyone knows, contained a list of exemp
tion.-. taut kept from the territory the power to pass on
certain subjects. One provision of the enabling act is:
nor snail spirituous or intoxicating liquors
he manufactured or sold, except under regulations and
rcsli tel ions as C ongress shall provide.
fins seems to indicate that Congress reserves the
right to its* It to pass on liquor licenses.
.\o doubt, though, the legislature will memorialize
Cong.ess to pass a Prohibition law. In the meantime a
u .1 ease win probably !>e provided by the retusa 1 oi some
judge to g> am a license when ii is applied for. Of course,
a judge Cd! nave no legal right to refuse licenses anyhow
until the First of January, 1018. Indeed, he will not be
provided with the right by any legislative act or with the
power i>> refuse licenses on the strength of the dry tote
at all. even after lt»18. unless Congress in the meantime
. « i A. .. a— 1.a—
it is well for people of all ways of thinking to know
exactly ’now matters stand. If the above is not a correct
interpretation of the laws a ix’tter comprehension of them
can he secured, ’perhaps, by drawing attention to them.

The Beautiful Suburb
i >f 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
kills 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 for $123. — 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.
i
Woodrow is a beautifully wooded tract and a veri
table park.
ROMIG & ROMIG are handling this property and
