SEWARD, ALASKA. TUESDAY, APRIL IS, 1915.
As Seward has been selected by the government as the ocean terminal (
for the railroad it will be selected as the site for the chief governmental
activities in other lines. With a tremendous population between Seward and
the Matanuska and spreading into the interior the people can no longer be
expected to travel hundreds of miles for the transcaction of their legal busi
ness. As it is the point on which all the mining business of the greater part
of Alaska will converge it will probably be the site for the mining experi
mental station. The government, now that it has decided to build the road
here, will see to it that the road is a financial success and to make it so they
will turn all the business possible to it. And with courts, agricultural and
other schools, and mining station and the rest it will soon draw the fishing,
the fur, the shipping and other interests to it. It will be a city with a great
population trihutarj to it and the more territory it serves the greater will
be its population, and the greater becomes its population the greater will
it tend to become. Once again let it be said that we have a greater future
than most of us seem to believe.
When Judge Brown said that we should be alive to our responsibilities
as the people of the city which will be the headquarters of Alaska’s real
development he said what only ought to-suggest itself to anyone alive to our
position. We have suddenly been raised from a tillage to a town which is 1
spoken of all o>er the United States. In future we shall take a position of
responsibility and we should be prepart'd to fill it properly.

It is more than likely that the first serious task devolving on the new city
council will be to provide the city with adequate police protection. When j
great numbers of strangers come this way there will be many little things
cropping up that will call for attention. It may be necessary for the United
States marshal to increase his force here. The greatest trouble may come
from attempts on the part of new arrivals to take ground that dot's not be
long to them and cause trouble. Wt» should be prepared.

There was a big European war going on over in Europe until last Sat- ;
urday afternoon but a truce appears to have been called about that time.
At least we don’t hear much more about it. Maybe the Germans were wait
ing to hear what Lane had to say.

The Cordova papers published the nows that Seward had won in big type.
They could have hardly used bigger if the Guggenheims had sold to the gov- ,
eminent. It was good news from the newspaper point of view' but hardly j
front the view of the general public of that city. But we wish the best for j
Cordova and all the rest.

“There have been several small,
stampedes in this immediate district :
during the last month, but so far they1
have resulted in nothing more than j
good prospects only. The last one j
was in the near vicinity of Ruby, be
ing just over the hill on Glacier creek,
a tributary of Big creek not over two j
miles from town. From the bottom
of a shaft it is claimed they secured
forty-nine, cents from nine pans and
a lay has been taken on the claim.
“Boston creek is another nearby \
creek which is being crosscut, and if_
the aforementioned and this creek j
