ALASKA* SEMI- CENTENNIAL
(New York World)
Just fifty years ago today, Brig.
Gen. Lovell Harrison Kousseau, who
had been asisgued to duty in the new
Territory of Alaska by President
Johnson, received that domain from
the Bussian government on behalf oi ’
the United States and assumed con
trol o ft he Territory, the largest addi
tion, with the exception of the Louis
iana Purchase, that has ever been j
made to the United States, its area
being 5tM),$$4 square miles, as against
t>$7 squaie miles of the Louisania
Purchase acquired in lSIKi, more than j
half a century earlier. The greatest j
of the previous accessions were r lon
da in ISIS), Texas in 1845, Oregon ini
1846, the Mexican cession in 1848 andj
the Gadsden Purchase in 185.5. Since
the purchase of Alaska, the Hawaiian
Inlands, Porto Kico, Guam, the Phiili
pincs, Samoa and the Panama Canal
Zone have been added making a total
added territory of 2,651, ITl square
miles, an empire in itself.
No other country has ever so rapid
ly acquired va.^t territories and at so
little coot in treasuie and blood. So
easy and natural did these acquisi
tions come about that no other single*
phase so well explain the process a>
“manifest destiny.”
We have been condemning for years
the government for not locating rocks
and giving aids to navigation and
then comes a steamer bumping along
on a rock on one of the most traveled
bits of water in Canadian territory.
It is always the unexpected and un
known that causes trouble.
Those who believe in things coming
in three ian now rest easier for it ha*>
been the Al-ki, Mariposa and Spo
kane. Three and out.

if you haven’t worked up your cour
age to the point of hooverizing, think
of tin starving Belgians and the un
derfed people ot all the rest ot kit*
rope.
When the women use up in theii
might, conditions must be in a ver\
bad state. That is perhaps what tin
women of Seattle have come to real
ize and they are now to gillize the
>pirit city.
The officers and crew of the Saturn
could not show a better spirit than to
entertain the citizens of Seward at a
ball \\ hicii they plan for Monday1
evening. Grass buttons, gold braid]
and the sailor uniforms are the bin'
nit with everybody except the German
and pro-Geinian.
—
Perhaps Capt. Frederick Mears may
not be the best builder of railroads,
but the government recognizes his
ability as a military officer and here
are congratulations to the new Major.
One meatless day at a local restau
rant seems to have left no ill effects.
All diners appear to have had suffi

CLASS HISTORY
By Joe Bradsha*
Read at the Graduation Exercises
recently at the Seward School.
I started in the Seward school in
the spring of 1914, two weeks before
school closed. I was in the fifth grade.
Miss Peterson was my teacher. There
were only two in my class, Jimmie
Hawkins and myself. Jimmie had to
look down to see me for I was the
smallest one in school. All the chil
dren looked at me as if 1 was a cir
cus freak. 1 had a small start, but
from small beginnings great thing*
sometimes grow.
The seats were wide and two chil
dren sat in one seat. The school was
old-fashioned and small. The children
had to buy their own books. At the
end of the year when school was out
the children gave a program at the
church. The teacher and the children
sat up in front. Helen Romig who
was in the seventh grade spoke a
poem. She left out the main part
but kept right on goii\g and nobody
knew that anything was wrong. I
understand the art she began culti
vating so young in lif»* still stands her
in good stead.
We went to the little school on the
hill until Christmas. By that time
the new school was finished. There
were three in my class that year,
Elizabeth Toney having been added.
She also had to look down to see me.
Jimmie was the artist of the school
and he spent most of his time draw
ing pictures of Elizabeth. I was very
glad to have a new pupil in my class
but Jimmie was still gladder.
The next year another pupil was
added to my class, Percy Doolittle.
He was about my size and we made a
good team. Neither one of us seem
ed to get along very well in English.
So we made an agreement. It was
that 1 would help him and he would
help me. He couldn’t help me and I
couldn’t help him, so we didn’t get
nlonir verv well.
About the middle of the year Jim
mie and Elizabeth went into the
eighth grade. They thought they
were too big to bo in the seventh
grade. That left Percy and me alone
Percy didn’t like to work and he was
sorry when Jimmie and Elizabeth left
us, for our recitations would be long
er when there were only two in the
class. At the end of the year Jimmie
and Elizabeth graduated and l passed
into the eighth grade.
Now comes the big yeai when tht
class is the largest for the seventh j
and eighth grades are put together.
Percy left and 1 was alone for the
first part of the year. But the sev
enth grade wanted to do two years’
work in one. So I didn’t mind re
viewing seventh grade work for I
needed it anyway, not having Percy
to help me any more. I didn't want
to sit alone on the platfoim with all |
the teachers, and I couldn’t think of
They do more

don’t know what they do there for

We have shown our patriotism in our

Stand by your color, classmates all,
Tis a glorious motto for life.
Be ready to answer your country’s
