SEWARI). ALASKA. TUESDAY, SEPT. 2(1. 1916.
It might be suggested to the members of the Woman's
Club that they might be able to perform a task in local
nomenclature which would have not only a pretty effect
but also a very material effect in advertising Seward.
The hills and rivulets and havlets and so oil around this
%
city still remain to be christened. One ot* these da vs if we
% %
are not careful our mountain peaks will be named after
some government surveyor or something and we shall
have to gaze in the future at Mount Jones and Mount
Snodgras. Instead of this each peak and each little topo
graphical peculiarity could receive some name that might
make Seward and its surroundings become a real poem.
Better than this, a regular system could be chosen which
would make people everywhere talk about Seward and
give it an advertising which we could hardly measure.
As a humble suggestion to show what is meant it might be
said that Seward is surrounded by a circle of mountain
peaks. This circle could be compared to the knights of the
round table and one could get the name of Sir Launcelot,
another that of King Arthur and so on. Or thev could be
described as a choir of angels and one would be Mount
Gabriel and the others would he named similarly. To the
%
west there are four separate mountain peaks all in full
view from the streets. You will notice l>v the snow line
%
on each today that as they go north each is higher than the
one to the south. They could be named as giant steps, for
instance. That is, they could be named as steps that reach
to something so that a unity of idea might be preserved.
As a guess in a hurry, they might he named as four vir
tues, Faith, Hope, Charity and some other. Or the whole
plan could be changed to something more earthly. They
could be named as the four periods of Alaska's history,
such as The Czar* Seward, Klondyke, Lane. And for
every little baylet in Resurrection bay, and for every lit
tle creek and hillock and slough the same plan might be
followed. A plan like this would get everyone talking
about it on the steamboats and finally it would reach the
whole United States.
Let us suppose that Paradise were taken as the basis;
A steamship enters the bay crowded with people and all
would be out to observe the story told by the names. The I
entrance would be the Golden Gate. The island would be
St. Peter. The rows of mountain peaks at each side would
have their heavenly names. The mountains outside the
entrance would be the fallen angels, and away ahead the
great mountain peak facing the entrance would be the
I hrone itselL It this nomenclature were based on one
plan such as this, telling a great story by the names alone,
not a person would enter without receiving an impression
that would remain and would be spoken of everywhere.
And Seward is so beautiful that it could do this without
being absurd. If it lacked beauty it would be different.
There need he nothing ultra poetic or pious or maw
kish in all of this but it certainly presents a chance to
make Seward famous everywhere.

ZEPPELINS TO BRING
MAIL TO THE l). S.
CHICAGO, Sept. 13.—Two “dou
ble” Zeppelins, unarmed and eaen
with a carrying capacity of sixty
tons, have been built in Germany to
carry mail between Berlin and the
United States, according to state
ments here by Morris Epstein, agent
of the German-Americnn Alliance,
who has returned from Europe.
Epstein said the Zeppelins had j
been christened “Amerika” and “Deut!
| s bland ”
They can make the aerial voyage
between Berlin and New York in
seventy-two hours, he said.
“They are so constructed,” said
Epstein, “that they can rise higher
than any aeroplane and thus escape
hostile aviators. They also can de
scend to the water and travel there
under their own power.”
Kpstein said the portage charges
for this service had already been ar
ranged and would be the regular in
ternational postage plus one mark, or
twenty-five cents for each letter.—Kx.

F WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.

winds.

and plotted on the most desirable portion of the Johnson
Homestead.
A tract in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.
The price is so low that no one can complain.

block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low as $25—$50 and $75.

and corner on an alley. Each plot is easy to access.
Woodrow is a beautifully wooded tract and a \ ei i
table park.
