MOST DELIGHTFUL HIGH
CLASS CONCERT TONIGHT.
Mu*ic Lowers Have a Treat in Store
and Dancer* Will Enjoy
Themsehe*.
Seward’s greatest musical treat
will come this evening with the con
cert given by Mr. Otto Moses, Al
aska’s greatest baritone. The pro
gram will begin at 8:30 o’clock sharp
in the railroad building and at its close
the dancers will take possesion of the
floor. In addition to Mr. Moses, Mrs.
H. X. Nuzum will render vocal solos.
To know that this lady ami Mr. Moses
will sing is to know that no other com
munity in Alaska could produce such
entertainment as the people of this
city will be provided with this even
ing. The Quartette which has been
heard before will also take part and
other items of almost equal pleasure
giving capacity are on the list. It is
advisable that people go early as the
audience will undoubtedly be a very
large one. The price for admission
for concert and dance is only half the
price charged usually here foi dancing
alone. Indeed there is every reason
to expect that every person who can
possibly go will be present.
Meet me at The Branch.
DESCRIBES FIGHTING
AGAINST THE TURKS.
Mud Makes Miserable the Mystic Land
of Mesopotamia.
LONDON, March 12.—Fighting the
Turks and Arabs in the desert of
Mesopotamia, where in places even
camels cannot go; where after the
Euphrates is left behind water is
more precious than powder and the
tribesmen show no quarter to the
wounded, is described by Sergeant A.
Kingdom, of the Second Battalion
Norfolk Regiment in a letter to his
mother at Thetford.
“We came by ship (from India) up
the river Euphrates”, he writes, “and
disembarked on a lovely landing, up
to the waist in mud and water. Not
a tree in sight nor a blade of grass,
except on the river banks, \Nhich are
covered with date palms. We march
ed all the next day through mud. Any
thing with wheels cannot be taken,
and packs of mules and camels are no
good, because their big feet pick up
too much sand.
“W'e lay in the wet mud on the
desert all night and moved away ear
ly again in the morning, to find the
enemy in position. They consisted of
Turks and Arabs, about 1,400 yards
to our front. The attack was pushed

home under cover of our mountain
butteries; the field artillery came up
later. The artillery horses were so
completely knocked out that they
could not walk away from the guns
when unhooked. The troops were
knocked out; and in the meantime
the enemy’s artillery was having it
all their own way.
“Our rifles were absolutely choked
inside with mud, and the bolt action
ami sights had to be made to work
before an accurate fire could be ef
fected. Some of the men, rather than
drink the muddy slush from their
water bottles, stood and emptied it
in their holt action, although water is
so scarce, and slush worth a gold piece
an ounce.
“I was more fortunate, my socks
had shrunk so small that I was better
able to march without one, so I cut
off the toe and put it over my bolt
action. So my rifle was fairly clean.
We were caked with clay from head
to foot. When tho sun did come out
for a time and we saw a chance of
cracking it off, a thunderstrom came
over and softened it into a sticky
paste.
“Our only transport is mules with
ammunition, and they frequently fall
down and have to be picked up. Any
how, the enemy were in their trenches
with a decided advantage and were de
livering a murderous fire. But by a
supreme effort after we got tho
enemy’s range we kept our fire cooly
delivered, and within half an hour
the Turks were retiring, leaving the
Arabs to cover their retreat. They
remained another quarter of an hour,
and meanwhile we had fixed our
bayonets for the 'grande finale—but
evidently they did not wish to pro
long their stay.
“Everyone, especially the Indians,
was anxious for a charge, but the
birds flew before we reached their
trenches. It is alright lighting the
Turks; but the Arabs use big muzzle
rifles with an enormous lead bullet
which will smash anything, and not
make a pretty little hole like the
Turks’ pointed bullet which will heal
in no time. The black powder from
the Arabs’ rifles also causes so much
smoke that it is impossible to see the
actual firer. They are a blood-thirsty
lot, these Arabs, and when the men
lay wounded they will shoot you at a
yard’s distance. A subadar of the
natives was shot in this way. On the
day after thp battle we found the
jackals had been at work.

holder in Seward to assist us in look
ing after the wants of the new comers
and to that end, ask that they furnish
us with a list of their property, that
they wish to rent and we will do all
that w'e can to lease or rent it for you.
It does not make any difference
whether it is a residence or business
property, we have numerous demands
for bith, and will be able to place
either for you in a short time.
It is up to the citizens of Seward to
look after the comfort of the new
comers and as an act of hospitality
alone it is up to you to list your prop
erty if you care to rent it.
