WELCOME, DR. WILLIAMS!
Seward extends the Ihand of
welcome to Dr. L. E. Williams
from Seattle, who will assist our
own Dr. A. D. Haverstock, Seward
General Hospital.
Dr. Williams comes highly rec
ommended as an able physician,
pathologist and X-ray technician
and Seward and this large district
of the Northern Empire is more
than fortunate in acquiring the
highly skillful services such as Dr.
Williams commands.
Welcome, Dr. Williams, welcome,
to the “Mayo of the North.”

STORM SIGNALS
The coming of a hurricane yes
terday sweeping out of the tropics
was foretold by a line of storm
.signals which stretched from the
Virginia capes to New England,
and by means of radio, the warn
ing word was flung afar over the
face of the deep and on land.
While millions of dollars of dam
age resulted, yet countless other
millions were saved.
Almost within the memory of
, men still following the sea, the |
! first definite information res- j
I pecting such a storm would have j
! been the carrying away of a top- |
' sail, or something worse,
j On the wall of a building in
i the city of Washington is a tablet
which reads: “Samuel F. B. Morse,
i artist and inventor, opened and
operated on this site, under the
- direction of the Post Office De
' partmcnt. the first public tele
graph office in the United States,
| on April 1, 4845.
Morse combined in himself the
attributes of the scientist and
dreamer; perhaps he w'as prophet
, enough to foresee all the benign
; possibilities of communication in
an instant of time betwe'en places
thousands cf miles apart.
* * •* *
| Self-pity, a vice perhaps more
I degrading than drunkenness.
i # * * *
An Eskimo attracts seals by
| scratching on the ice—if he can
j spare a hand from scratching his
ridge-pole.
The Navy Department tells Tony
i Dimond it cannot spare any of
! the fleet for a visit to Alaska. Not
while the beach resorts are crowd
‘ ed with bathing beauties!
The, Republicans are considering
how to select a candidate for the
Presidency in 1936. They might
try: “Eenie, meenie, minie, mo”
and the man stuck has to run.

Road Construction
With the r.rrival here of O. El- j
vigien, superintendent, of the
S ’ims-Sp< kane Company, on the'
RS Northwestern, work on their j
local on truction job began Mon- |
d.-v A little more than one-half |j
md o" new road will be built j
from Mile 1.325 to just beyond the ;
c met cry but the main piece of
construction will be two pile and
rock retaining walls for the ap
proaches to the two local covered
B. P. R. bridges.
It is estimated the combined
work, which will cost in the
neighborhood of $35,000, will take
more than two months. The jobs
will be pushed as rapidly as pos
sible and local residents will have
the first opportunity for employ
ment. Crews are now busy over
hauling the dragline which has,
for a number of years, been on
a local railroad siding, as well as
going ahead with clearing pre
paratory to grading.
When completed the new road
will eliminate both present rail
road crossings; a new one, de
signed and permitting greater
safety, will be built.
