SEW \UD. VLASKA, MONDAY, MAY 21. 1015.
Valdez is about to try the growing of rose trees and other sort of flowers.
They have a civic club or some such thing down there to take an interest
in such matters. V few days ago they had an Arbor Day, a day set aside for
the planting of flowers and trees. In this respect we might copy the neigh
boring city without hurl to ourselves. Of course, Seward hardly needs
beautification. To decorate it very much might be “gilding retim'd gold or
painting the lily** but even gold might get dull and lilies uncared for might
wither.
Some fun ought to he provided in the next congressional election in \l
ask a if it is really true that Delegate Wickersham has returned to the Re
publican fold. We can take it for sure that the present leaders of that party
will never accept him as the standard bearer. Most of them, if not all of
them, voted against him last November. He just about broke up the party
and ruined its hopes of getting seats at the pie counter when he took it into
his head first to run for congress, and they can hardly forgive him. Hut, the
question to he solved now i* the effect that the return of the prodigal son will
have on his own political career. It seems as though the delegate can alto
gether too easily change the object of his allegiance and that is not an at
tractive quality In a public man, to say the least of it.
The heads of the Signal corps service have recently decided to hold press
messages until all other business on the cable and over the wireless has been
dispatched. They say that a rise in the price of press messages was in con- ,
temptation but the idea has been abandoned.
While Alaska newspapers must in justice say nothing but what is comp
limentury of the telegraphic service supplied the press of the territory it is
difficult to refrain from expressing regret that this new regulation was found
necessary. Particularly is the new ruling regrettable now that the govern
ment has decided to develop? Alaska and bring it nearer in other respects to
fhe standard of the outside world. Ihe more Alaska advances the greater
will become the demand of its people for quick service in all lines. It is still
hoped that the newspapers and their patrons will be treated with greater lib
eralitv in this matter.

Driesbac’n Company. The lumber
is being placed on lots across the <
street east of the Railroad office build
ing. Mr. Warren is accompanied by
his wife and they expect to make Se- 1
ward their future home.
Mayor Myers brought a black bear I
* i.
to town yesterday. It has to be ad
mitted that he killed it himself. The
proofs are too strong to deny it. He
left town at o a. m. yesterday, went
in a small boat to Tonsina creek,
walked up the creek two miles, saw
the bear on the hill at three hundred '
yards, shot him at that range through
the loins, the bear walked down to the
bed of the sream and Mr. Myers shot
him through the head. John («i I pat
rick was with him—the mayor— so
that we have direct evidence.
Seward beat the redcrals again
yesterday. Judging by the reports ol
tho game each side must have played
against itself. Some day greater ef
forts will be made and the players will
get down to more serious training and ^
work.
William Condon, an attorney of
Valdez, arrived on the Watson enroute
to Anchorage where he will open a
