SEWARD, ALASKA, TUESDAY, M VY 23, 1916.
Are the people of Seward doing all that they can tor Seward?
Is there no danger that a lassitude might settle over them if it has not
already done so?
Seward has the disadvantage of being an old town. Like an old country,
it is hard to alter the manners and customs. Other towns spring up close
by. The people have not known each other long enough over there to be hos
tile to each other. People who live close together in a little town during long,
expectant but quiet winters soon begin to forget the community in the in
tensity of their personal feelings. They lose the “get-together spirit. In
a new town they begin fresh as the l nited States began with it.'- clean .dutt
on which was written the great Constitution.
Is this town forgetting that it ought to advertise itself to the world, and
that if Seward fails to advertise itself no one else will?
The Mexican alTair is threatening to die out just like everything else.
Just a few months ago the thought of a United States armed force crossing
the border was tilled with sensationalism. Now* it is hardly regaidcd
news. Probably when the Civil War was proceeding lots ot people hardly
even read about it after a while. Whoever hit on that word “news” had some
Idea of the value of words. There is nothing great enough to be worth con
sidering if it is old.
Seward should continue to keep asking for that wireless station. It
looks ridiculous that the terminal city of a great railroad system should be so
far behind the times in these wireless days as to have to depend on a foreign
country for its communication. If. St. George, Kodiak, Point Rocky and
Seaweed City have Radio stations why should Seward not have one? What
has Seward ever done, anyhow ?

GUN CLUBS MAKE READY
IN CASE OF WAR
j (Special to Gateway by United Press)
CHICAGO, May 16. — While the
j wave of preparedness is sweeping the
United States today thousands of
trapshooters are perfecting their aim
to be ready in case President \\ ilson
calls for help. At the same time they
were having sport by engaging in}
trap shooting meets. The first one is
at Emporia, Kansas, today.
Trap shooting in the United States j
this year is more spirited than ever.
The military fever has brought out a
bunch of rookie shooters and indica
tions arc that before the season is
over fully 1,000 tournaments of vari
ous sizes and descriptions will have
been held.
Thirty-six of forty-three states now
having organizations represented in
the Interstate association, has plan
ned championship tournaments, some,
of which already have been held.
Arkansas, Delaware, Arizona, Mon
tana, Virginia, South Dakota and
South Carolina have not arranged for
' state tourneys, but the interstate |
authorities are urging them to do so. j
More than 200 shoots have been
listed for the Panama Canal zone and
i when all the meets for Cuba anti
Porto Rico are registered it is expect
ed that fully 500 tournaments will be
! held in the islands and the canal zone.
Last year 335 meets were held.

JUNEAU FISHERMAN
ENLISTS FOR WAR
WHILE ON A SPREE
Nels Nelson, known to a large cir
cle of friends in Juneau as “Little
Nels," has enlisted in the British
army and is on his way to the battle
front in France. Nelson haS been
fishing out of Juneau for several
years and worked with Jack Rowe
until recently. He was in Prince Ru
pert with one of the fishing boats and
went on a prolonged spree. When he
became sober, he found that he had j
' enlisted. He deserted at once and got j
as far as Vancouver, but was picked
up by the police officers there and
sent back to his company and is now
on his way east.—Juneau Empire.

MASTADON AND
11001! STRIKES
ARE REAL ONES
A letter received in the last mail
j from Iditarod by a Juneau man says
j that the recent strike reported from
| Mastadon and Boob creeks is a gen
uine one and that Ruby, Iditarod,
Flat, Ophir, and other interior camps
are practically deserted as a result of
the stampede.
j The letter was dated April 17th and
says: “The strike reported within
< the past two weeks was made on a
tributary of Tolstoi river, 20 miles
northwest of Ophir. The strike was
| made on Mastadon and Boob creeks,
both of which are tributaries of the
Tolstoi river, and the dirt runs about
50 cents to the pan.
“The reports have been corroborat
ed and a stampede is on. The stam- j
pede has practically depopulated Idit
j arod, Flat, Ophir, Takotna, Cripple
and the Ruby districts* A new town
site has been laid ofT at the mouth of
Mastadon creek and has been named
Copper. It is estimated that within
two months there will be between
1500 or 2000 people in the district. If
the strike proves to be permanent and
good pay is developed, the inhabitants
will apply at once for the establish
ment of a postoffice at this point."—j
