SEW A It I), ALASKA, THURSDAY, ,APRIL 8, 1915.
The reason for the delay in making the official announcement about the
railroad is rather hard to understand unless it is that the deal for the pur
chase of the Alaska Northern has not been quite completed or that the presi
dent wishes to prevent a premature stampede. The arrangements being made
show that the matter has been settled already and the various circumstances
prove that the Alaska Northern has been bought.
The probability is that the president wishes to have everything perfectly
ship shape before saying anything.
Spring has come to Europe4 and still that deadlock lasts in France and
Flanders. The British regard February, March and April as the spring
months but whether Kitchener meant those months or not in making his
famous statement as to the “real beginning" of the war is hard to say. At
the present time the weather in northern France and Belgium is warm and
beautiful. The sun is shining and flowers etc. are blooming. It ought to
be about the time for that real blood letting to begin. It will add a new color
to the spring landscape.
The larger a town becomes the greater are its chances to become still
greater. A city attracts people by numbers that are in direct ratio to its
size. That is, a small city will ha\e less people going to it than a larger one.
A city of hundreds of thousands of population, needless to say, increases in
population faster than a city of thousands only.
But what is meant to be brought out is that the larger a city like Se
ward becomes the more it is likely to continue to increase in size. 'Phis is
so because the larger the city is the more will people come from far away
places. Mith a city here of four or five thousand people Seward could have
many things which she now lacks hut which attract visitors or people bent
on business. A large city attracts from greater distances than a small
city. This looks like a platitude hut it is an important consideration when
we take into account the facts surrounding Seward. Let us suppose that
we had a city of five or si\ thousand people close at hand, with its shows
and oth^r means of passing the time. We might come to forget Seattle
and San Francisco, or, at least, we might be tempted not to go outside for
holidays, and there might be thousands of others in the great stretches of
country around to do the same.
NEWS FROM ALL PARTS
OF THE NORTHLAND ;
DAWSON. March 12.—Alfr.nl 1!.
Clegg, one of the best known pioneers
of the Klondike district, passed away
unexpectedly last evening while in a
sleigh traveling from Dawson to the
Yukon Gold company’s power house
on Twelvemile. He was in charge of
the camp at the Twelvemile power
house for several seasons, and came t«
town Thursday with a number of.
others of the place to vote in the |
Yukon council elect’on. The partv
started back yesterday, facing a
severe northerly wind. Several times
on th.* way down Mr. Clegg complain- \
ed to others on the sleigh of being j
cold. They stopped at various cabins
and warmed up, and imagined Mr.
Clegg’s complaint was only tempor
ary. On arrival at Mahan’s wood
camp another stop was made. On
getting out there the other boys were
surprised to find that Mr. Clegg did
not move, and an examination proved
that he was dead. He had passed
away so quietly that not the least
suspicion had been aroused by those
fitting beside him until they made the
stop at Mahan’s
NEW YORK.—The Tribune says:
The bevolence of intent of Mr. Daniel
Guggenheim cannot be questioned,
but the wisdom of many of the views
which he expressed to the federal
commission or. industrial relations is
equally unquestionable. His ideals
are all right; the methods by which
he proposes to reach them are all
wrong.
“We must see.” said Mr. Guggen
heim. “that the worker not only gets
sufficient wages, but also that he gets
some of the comforts and luxuries of
life.” ______
OTTAWA.—New fishery regula
tions for the Yukon have been adopt
ed by the Dominion government. They
provide that no license shall be grant
ed to anyone but British subjects.
There will be two classes of licenses,
“domestic" and “commercial." For
five dollars a domestic license will be
issued, entitling the holder to fish
with not more than 300 yards of gill
nets, for home consumption, and not
for sale or barter.
LONDON, Feb. 4.—The Morning
Post has a long, appreciative biog
raphy of Robert Service, who de
clares he will write no more songs of
the Far West or the High North, but
will seek subjects hereafter in great
world cities such as Paris, London
and New York. Service tells how
Canadian papers sent him to the
Balkan war, and afterwards he wand
cred over Europe, settling in Paris,
where he will probably end his days,
since no city is so satisfying, and
there is no danger of being too re
spectable there. "I’ve no special il
lusions about my work," he says. “I
write things of today for people of to
day. The lives of people I see around
me held enough romance for me."
