SEWARD W.ASk A, MONDAY. MAY 3, 1915.
Seward may now expect lots of lawsuits. In the placer camps of the
territory a man who made a strike one day was almost sure to have legal
papers tiled against him the next. A man always escapes the law court when
u* has no money unless he himself takes it into his head to get some by hook
tr crook. A new country, of course, always affords greater opportunities to
he "legal talent” as properties are constantly changing hands or has not
>een long enough in anyone’s hands to make the title absolutely unquestion
ible.
From this time forward pots of money will be wasted in law proceedings
ind it might pay well for everyone to hau* all matters connected with deals,:
possession, etc. carefully worded, carefully revised and carefully "cinched.” j
there are a few lawyers, foes to their own profasion, who are constantly on j
he watch for flaws, and there are many people only too willing to act as their
atspaws in bringing lawsuits. Watch out.
The most \iciouslv knocked town on the continent today is Seward.!
i
People coming from the outside arrive with the full belief that everyone is (
i>roke. that a room cannot be secured for lo>e or money, even that we have
n well patronized bread line. It might be expected that the outside news
papers would be more wary of such stuff and even go further and have the
real facts advertised. Once again let it be said that never a man has been
left without a bed in this city and never a man has depended on charity.
Anything to the contrary is pure fabrication—the direct offspring of con- j
temptible jealousy.
Nine months of the war have passed. This means three-quarters of a!
tear. In a nation of seventy millions of people something like a million
people, it is about safe to assume, will reach maturity each year, judging on j
he basis of the allotted seventy years of life for each man. This looks
reasonable if we remember that seventy million people change every seventy
rears. To keep the population at its normal level it would be necessary for
jne million people to be born each year. If this reckoning were correct it
makes sure that half the number born each year would reach military age
k'ach year. That is. the male sex. Does this mean that a country of seventy
million people can secure live hundred thousand new soldiers each year? If
it does it shows the difficulty of exhausting the supply of men of any of the
great powers.

NEW YORK. April 9.—Allotments
the new stock which the AlasKa
Juneau Gold Mining Company will of
fer to the public will be made early
this week.
The company is the seller of this
itock, although an underwriting
syndicate com posed of some of the
principal stock holders has been form
ehI, of which B. M Baruch is manager.
It is predicted that the syndicate
>vill get none of the stock inasmuch
is subscriptions already received far
ixceed the 400,000 shares which the
company is now offering. The par
iralue of this stock will be $10 and the
offering price, it is expectd will be at
par.—(Boston News Bureau .
VALDEZ.—Mrs. James Gilmour,
of this city, has won a prize for
writing a popular ballad in a contest J
in which song writers from all over

The Valdez Commercial Association i
has issued a appeal to the taxpayers :
and citizens of Valdez to vote for a
“wet’ town, pointing out to them the
interest of the city requires that Val
dez be “wet” because Seward and
Cordova is almost certain to go “wet,”
and while as much would be consumed
in Valdez as heretofore no revenue
would be given to the city govern- j
ment. besides which many men now
employed in Valdez would lose their
positions and property values would
decrease alarmingly.—(Valdez Pros
