SEWARD. ALASKA. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 1, 1913.
A new rumor gets started at least every day in this city these times.
There are rumors about new government establishments, great government
clocks and wharves, the coming of the headquarters from some other places
of several government officials and departments and a lot of other such
stories. And do you know the reason for the rumors? The reason is that
they are all sure to be proven true -that there is every foundatior ior such
rumors even though the rumor might have no tangible base just at present.
There will be big wharves and docks here. The Alaska Road Commis
sion will some day move its headquarters hither. The government will
establish public buildings in Seward for all the part of the territory made
tributary to it by railroad Those things and more will come without a
<;oubt, rumor or no rumor, so why should we bother with those rumors at all.
The bottom of the sea aiong the coast of Alaska would make a strange
sight if we could only see it. More than ninety ships of importance have been
sunk from the time the schooner St. George went to the bottom at Kodiak
Island in 1S7S until the Edith went below the day before yesterday. But
here is a fact worth remembering; The I’nited States paid seven million two
hundred thousand dollars for Alaska and the estimated value of the ships
sunk since the purchase of the territory, not counting the Watson and the
Edith, is seven million four hundred thousand dollars, or two hundred
thousand more than the price of Alaska. For every twenty-five miles along
the Alaska coast there lies some fine ship at the bottom. This has been
due in some measure to the “newness” of the waters and the lack of proper
safeguards.

body of the eighteen months old
Florence Kelly, was found at the
found at the foot of a lighthouse last
night, two miles from the home from
which the child disappeared. This is
the baby whose disappearance was
supposed to be due to her carrying off
by an eagle. The police have not yet
made any statement of opinion as to
the cause of the child’s death but it is
assumed that she never wandered
without some help such a distance.
