SEWARD. ALASKA, MONDAY, JANUARY 24, 1016.
Seward is about to have its innings now. The amount of work
to be done here is enough to make a boom town for years and the
beauty of the future of this city is that the end of the boom is not
limited by some such an event as the exhaustion of placer fields or
the working out of a lumber or any other industry. Hitherto An
chorage has absorb *d most of the benefits arising from railroad
construction The work for Seward has not even been begun.
Coming are the construction work from Kern creek, the repair of
the V aslca Northern, the building of docks, the erection of deten
tion hospital, depot. warehouses, the extension of water works,
teleph >ne and light lines and a hundred and one other things
wh ch. though of lesser importance, are in the aggregate very
great,
Seward has not yet been made the terminal in fact, but in a
very f *w months it will be the terminal in fact as well as in name.
Ch lirni m Fitzgerald of the appropriates committee of the
house he stated opposed to the Alaska railroad idea in the
b‘ginning but aft *r having come to the conclusion to support it he
>t >od loyally by it. In Seattle some time ago he declared that
Secretary Lane could have all the money he wanted, as readers of
this paper will remember, and he has stuck to his word. What a
t ne example that would Ik* for the guidance of so many others.—
t<> give in when you are shown your error, and not only to remove
oppos tion but to take otT your coat and tight for that against
which you fought before.
Evidently Deb gate W ckersham has given up the idea of in
troducing that >tat* hoi d bill. The very moment he spoke of in
troducing sueh a bill some of bis political parasites who only exist
by clinging to his hud began to shout for statehood from the
housetops. The fact that they gave no time to learning what;
statehood meant is a negligible incident. Wickersham wanted
statehood Wickersham must be proven right or we perish, there
fore we must proclaim statehood to be right. Such was probably
tie* method of reasoning of the men who must now find themselves
in a peculiar fix since tie* delegate has introduced bills for fuller
teriitorial powers and for Development boards.
Nome Miner
Dies Suddenly
•
Nome. A man named Steiner re
ported to Judtfe Frawley last evening
that his ro ninir partner, Theodore
Haldich, died yesterday at the scene of
the r j**iut mining operations on a
quartz claim vme distance northwest
of town. From the storv to;d by Stein
er the man had apparently died irotn
heart failure. Steiner says that he
went to the cabin shortly before noon
and d.d not return for several hours
during whichS einer was compelled to
remain at tin* bottom of a deep shaft
At lei gh. fearing that somethin*: w as
' a oil vs. he climbed *o the surface under
great ditlicuUies and found his partner
cold and >tiIT in their quarters. A team
went ou. this morning to bring in the
remains. — Kx.

Tie is the driver of the rig which cm**
, rics the tfchool children from hort
1 Davis to Nome where they attend the
public school, and while making the
trip in question was caught in a bliz
zard which prevented the horses from
facing the storm. Sorwald knew of a
cabin and instead of fighting the storm
which would probably have resulted in
tne loss of ill* entire party, he made
his way to the deserted building and
kept his charges from perishing. The
entire force of Fort Davis and many of
the citizens of Nome turned out to
search for the party but were unable
to locate them until the following
morning when the storm had subsided.

There’s one rubber
yjj boot that has
/ “made good” in
Alaska and that’s the
Goodrich
“HIPRESS”
White Boot
“With the Red-Line
’round the Top”
?y/ux You know that when a Boot
'!W3kW&~' i->» conics in and simply sweeps the country
/ like ‘HJ PRESS” has done, it’s (JOT to
l ~ tie SOMETHING UNUSUAL—for Alaska wear
is the supreme test for Boot Quality.
White Goodrich “HIPRESS” Boots actually wc*r longer than iron orstecl!
You don’t have to half-sole them with leather—they far outwear hob
nailed leather soles.
The reason for this unusual service is that “HIPRESS" are constructed by
an entirely new process—fifty years ahead of the old-fashioned hoot. They
' are made of the same tough rubber that goes into Goodrich Auto 'I ires—
j welded together under enormous pressure INTO ONE SOLID PIECE.
f There’s nothing to come apart—they can’t leak, peel, crack or split!
They’re comfortable, too—shaped to the foot while its working. We
promise that once you start wearing White “HJPRKSS’’ you’ll never be
satisfied with anything else.
S—^ And remember—there is but ONE “HIPRESS" Boot it has
a Red-Line ’round the Top.
DEALERS: If not already stocked on “HIPRESS” write at once for samples and prices.
This is the best selling, best wearing Boot ever put into Alaska.

rate on salt has been $15 per ton
from Seattle and the rate on fish
precluded the possibility of northern
fishermen competing with other sec*
tions of the country closer to the out
side market. The herring and codfish
eries in the north have hardly been
touched and bid fair at some future
date to be a remunerative business
w hen rates are more equitably adjusted ;
to its needs. The Bering Sea her
ring have been pronounced by ex
perts to have no superior anywhere in
the world.—Ex.
