SEWARD, ALASKA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1916.
One can easily notice from day to day now the increase of interest in
the country’ around Seward by outside capital. The railroad has already be
gun to perform its work before it is finished. It is giving the advertising
which has been very badly needed and scarcely a day passes without hearing
in some way or another of an intention of some party or parties to come here
for some new work.
The idea of the ladies of Seward to have a flower or vegetable show is
one that ought to receive the earnest and active support of everyone. In
Skagway. Valdez and some others of the northern towns very pleasant re
sults have been secured by similar work and as Seward has a climate better
than any other section there is a chance that we could have more success, j
The election to decide what sort of a method Seward will adopt for the
choosing of its city council and officials will take place next Tuesday. There
is apparently not very much interest taken in the subject and the chances
are that the voting will be very light. We always take too little interest
in governmental matters unless we are personally affected.

With a world war going on we still found that the dispatches held for
ten days contained really no war news that could be regarded as exciting.
The dragging nature of the great conflict is brought home by a recollection
of that kind. Ten days and nothing to tell about but the capture of a city
which we had never heard of before the war. If that war continues much
longer we shall probably come to look for a special war news column hidden
away in the newspapers like market reports—something to be read by any
one who wants to. This is an awful and tragic ending for what had been
expected to be most exciting. Maybe it is a little indication of the fact that
war must become ridiculous and out of fashion.

HENRY FORD.
Henry Ford has been called a jack
ass and a clown because he hired a
ship and sailed across the sea to
stop the most frightful slaughter the
world has ever known. The big thing
in his action is not the question
whether he will or will not stop the
war, but the fact that he is willing to
try! It was by trying that he got
where he is. But still he keeps on
trying.
In the face of overwhelming odds,
in spite of a world-wide criticism, he
is willing to undertake the greatest
job that ever fell to tho lot of a
human being in the world’s history,
lie brushes aside the thousands of
columns of newspaper criticisms, he
ignores the public utterance of so
called statesmen, he sets his face to
ward the most glorious goal that any
man ever hoped to achieve—and goes
on his way Trying.
So far, he is the only person who
^as taken a definite step toward end
ing the war. Truo it may not be the
right step, you get that by trying.
The men who sit in swivel chairs, and
sneer and make funny jokes about
that man Ford are not taking steps of
any kind to end the war. The job
looks too big and too hopeless to
them. It looks big to Ford and may
be it looks hopeless to him. But he’s
got the nerve to try and spends his
own money. Asking aid of no man.
What a nation this would be, if each
industry could be headed by a Ford
who was v> illing to try, what chance
would any other nation under the sun
have with us. What if more of us
were willing to try and less of us
were slaves of convention and
creatures of habit. There is a word
in the dictionary called can’t, leave it
there. Never use it. Well we’ve been
“Henry Fording” it for the past
twelve years, and expect to keep right
at it, until the Powers that be, and
the Engineers that direct it, awaken
to the fact that Seward is the Begin
ning and Final jumping off place of
construction of Government railroads
Kn Alaska. In the meantime, we have
plenty time and help to serve you.
