SEWARD. VI.ASK V. SATLRDAY, JIT.Y 10, 1015.
Writing letfers is another pleasant institution. In the old daythey
had that “Complcat Letter \Y riter" which showed exactly how to spea«c
through the maiU with someone else. Kuch sample letter began with a
freezing pol.teness and ende^i up with some stereotyped expression o? undy
ing aireetion. The easiest way of writing a letter in Seward is to start out
by telling them that you never saw a place y ou loved so intensely and then,
in a hurried manner, as if you were expecting an earthquake, tell them the
boat is uist whistling to leave and you have to "conclude . That word con
clude" is a good one. It suggests that there was really something to con
clude . which there isn't as a rule, no more than there was a boat whistling.
Portage Bay was once a mighty useful foil for the government to use
v hen dealing with the owners of the Alaska Northern. How beautifully the
advantages of that blessed spot were advertised to the world. Could it be,
we wonder, that Anchorage has usurped the proud place once held by Port
age Bay in the hearts, rather in the minds, of the powers at Washington?
Yesterday was the day for the selling of the first lots at Anchorage—
the first day on which a lot was ever sold by Uncle Sarr. in Alaska, per
haps. Today or tomorrow we shall know how the sale went. Let us suppose
that after the advertising the lot.' received several people paid large sums
of money for those lots anti let us suppose that in a year from now they are
found to be worth not so much. Will the government be pleased? Can we
picture that fine old Unde Sam as a realty dealer rubbing his hands and
chuckling with glee and saying “Gee whiz, but warn’t I lucky to unload
in time. Them fellows sure did bite.”
On tho>e fine evenings there is nothing more tempting or more invigor
ating than a trip out on the water. The trouble of keeping a large boat
at present prevents many from having one that could be really useful. Boats
must be guarded from the titles and storms but if Seward wished it could
have at very little expense arrangements made that would remove the dif
ficulty.

FLOTILLA CRFISE IN ALASKA.
WASHINGTON, July H.—Six crui
sers of the Pacific fleet, and a divis
ion of the torpedo boat flotilla have
been ordered by the navy department
to cruise in Alaskan waters this sum
mer.
One of the objects of the criuse is
to give the commanders an oppor
tunity to familiarize themselves with
conditions along the Alaskan coast,
and to discuss the proposals of estab
lishing a naval base in Alaska.
It was suggested that talk of creat
ing a naval base in the North would
be revived as construction work on
the government railway progressed

VALDEZ, July 6.—Andrew Mala-'
koff, of Ellamar, was drowned last
night near the Valdez dock when the
little skiff in which he had attempted
to reach the Tokeh Lou was upset.
Had Malakoff been able to have re
mained afloat a half minute longer
he would have been saved by Dr.
Cockerille, who, having heard his
cries, rushed down the dock from the
old light plant, jumped into a boat
and reached to within thirty feet of
the flounderng man when he threw
up both hands and went down and
was not seen again.
VALDEZ—'The city council failed
to take any action upon the request of
the Valdez Civic League and the
Valdez Study Clubs for the removal
of John Frame from his position as
city clerk. Mayor Boyle, to whom
had been sent the registered letter
containing the complaint ami charges
stated that he had not received the
letter and consequently nothing was
done.—Prospector.
SAYS LIP READER HIKED
TO SPY ON HARRY THAW.
NEW YORK, July 10.—The de
fense in the case of Harry Thaw
made the sensational charge today
that the prosecutor hired a lip read
er to watch Thaw during his con
versations with his attorney and to
ascertain by the movements of the
defendant’s lips what he was saying.

REPORTED NOW THAT JAMES
BOVS HURRIED THE $90,000
AND LOST MAP
BEDFORD, Iowa, July 10.—Old
residents of the district now declare
that the authorities are wrong in
their ideas as to who buried the
$90,000 treasure and they assert that
the James Boys themselves are the
ones who actually hid it away. Ac
cording to the satements of those old
people the James boys buried U19
treasure and made a map of the
spot but lost the map and so never
recovered the booty. Henry Dame
wood and John Damewood have also
been arrested in connection with the
matter.
QUITMAN, Mo., July 10.—Mrs.
Henry Porter of this place says she
was a witness of the murder*of the
cattleman and his son from whom
the treasure recently discovered is
supposed to have bean taken, but she
declares that she was threatened with
murder if she tc!d. The huntsman
who is implicated feared an investi
gation, she says, and begged her to
leave the district, which she did. The
prosecutor of this place has now sec
retly removed her and she will come
up as a witness against the men ar
rested.
