When Roosevelt was President the Danish West Indies could have
been purchased for $5,000,000. The present administration has no
hesitancy in paying $25,000,000. besides throwing in all American dis
covery rights in Greenland.
Congress passed the Alaska Railroad Bill, $.'»;*,000.000, for the
construction of 1,000 miles of railroad. At the present rate of con
struction, the cost of 1,000 miles would aggregate $110,000,000 and re
quire 20 years to build.
The Canadian government attempted and did build a railroad from
Moncton, Canada, at a cost of $174,000,000, while the engineers* esti
mates for the work was $72,0(10,000.
Is it possible that President Wilson made a grave error in desig
nating Seward the One and Only Ocean Terminal of the Government
Railroad instead of Anchorage?
Oid it ever occur to Delegate Wickersham that every knock
against the Alaska Road Commission is a boost and belittles his
chances politically? With wagon roads and trails tributary to tlx* ,
Government railroad you will develope Alaska ten fold. Seward is <
getting her first real recognition this year from the Alaska Road Com- j
mission us Congress in its wisdom saw lit to appro pi iut ( tlx i<u.
able sum of $500,000 for wagon roads and trails. If congress recogniz
ed the true conditions in Alaska they would unhesitatingly vote $1,000,
000 annually for that purpose.—Why even British Columbia appropri
ate $3,000,000 annually for Wagon Roads.
If we can afford to spend $130,000,000 to catch one lone Greaser,
we ought to have no trouble in getting one million dollars annually for
the next ten years.—For Wagon Roads.
In the meantime while the political pot is boiling, it will pa\ >ou
to call on the Seward Commercial Co., and see what they have to offer
in the way of Bargains in Merchandise. Don’t forget the famous
Universal Stoves and Ranges. Victrolas and Victor Records, every
thing for the Home or Trail. Don’t forget Seward’s Fair Week, under
the direction of the Womens’ Club of Seward.

! number of unemployed has double**
| several times by the closing of allied
industries. More men are being
thrown out of work daily. Much suf
fering has resulted.
Stock farmers in the interior have
also suffered big slumps in the prices
paid forvtheir product. The belliger
ents in Europe do not want any more
of these meats right now and tffere
are no ships for the plant’s production
to be shipped elsewhere in.
