HOMESICK FOR SEWARD, GLEN
WAS NEARING HOME WHEN
CALLED
Glen Sandbeck. aged 12 years,
son of Mr. and Mrs. O. Sandbeck,
died Thursday night aboard the
A. S- S. Co. liner Northwestern, en
route to Seward from Seattle where
with his mother, he had been visit
ing since last July.
Upon the arrival of the steamer
at Cordova Mrs. Sandbeck had a
Cordova physician in attendance
until the departure of the vessel,
but no hope was held, Glen passing
away at 8:5S Thursday evening.
The news came as a severe shock
to eve-'yone who had known Glen
in his lifetime, for he was all that
was expressive of clean, intelligent
and ebbulient boyhood, manly to a !
degree and possessed of those en
gagmg qualities which win and
retain the respect and friendship
of childhood comrades and mature
persons, and just such a son as any
parent might be proud of.
This appraisement is accorded
by every man, woman and child in
Seward who knew this bright, eb
buiient and manly little fellow.
Since Glen was a wee toddler be
displayed those qualities which set!
him apart as one who was destined
to go far if spared such an untime
ly halt in his climb from childhood
to maturity.
He was studious and apt in his
studies, industrious and frugal in :
his habits, athletically inclined and 1
a member of the Junior school bas- :
ketball team. Even in his tender
years he took up and mastered golf;
which gave him a position of com
raderitr, not only with his own ’
brothers, but that of elder devotees j
of the game, wrho delighted to share
his engaging sportsmanship and the
intriguing smile he always gave to
success or defeat.
The hours after school dismissed
saw him set aside the lures which
gripped his young compeers and
bending to the exacting task of ;
handling the circulation of the j
Daily and Weekly Gateway. In this
he was more meticulous and effi
cient than many of his elders.
Again we see him. rain or sun- '
shine, snow or blizzard, carrying
his newspaper route and piling up
treasures of warm friendships and !
admiration. I
From this he amassed many
nickels and dimes. Of this he ac
cumulated a sizeable bank account,
far in excess in proportion to many
who had greater earning power.
And yet Glen was not miserly or
parsimonious. He paid his score'
like the clean little sport he was. i
On the top deck of the SS North- j
western was Glen’s brand new bi
cycle and in his grips were lots of
new clothes. But it was the bike he
was most proud of and one can pic
ture his pride when the little chap
intended to show his pals his new
machine. Ever since arriving at
Seattle Glen was homesick for Sew
ard and then he had to be called
just before reaching home.
It has been known that Glen suf- j
fered from incipient diabetes, but it
was not thought that the end was
so near. Hence the poignancy of |
the grief all of his friends felt when ,
the news of his death came as I
from a clear sky.
In the passing of little Glen the]
happy childhood of Seward are be- !
reft of a splendid comrade and
sympathetic friend. To his elders 1
it i~ The the taking of ones own,
and such an one as is the dream of
every father and mother.
The hearts of everyone go out to
the bereaved parents, brothers and j
sister, and among these will be j
the little comrades ail of whom are !
proud to be known as his friend, j
In addition to his mother and I
father, Glenn is mourned by his j
brother Edwin, associate editor of
the Daily Gateway, otto, his elder
brother, now enrolled at the Uni

| APPRECIATION
1 Rep. Joseph Hofman:
i “Being overjoyed at our
I magnificent victory I appre
J ciiite fully the part played by
i our forces at the front and
* extend to you all my hearty
j congratulations and thanks
* and with t lie same forces we
i will go forward on the road
! to prosperity. J. J. Connors,
Demo. Nat. Committeeman.”
Mrs. Victoria Gardner arrived on
the Admiral Evans en route to her
home in Unalaska. She has been
Outside for the past two months
on a business trip. From contacts
with many Seattle business men
who have interests in Alaska Mrs.
Gardner says she formed the en
couraging' belief that next year will
show a marked improvement in all
lines. She found present condi
tions on the Outside at their lowest
ebb. Everyone seems to have |
reached the bottom of their re- '
sources, and altho they realize
things are on the upward curve
many are not able to hang on long
enough to reap the benefit of the
change. It is a grim and desperate
struggle—worse than anything this
country has ever experienced.
When was there ever a time in the
history of our country that college
and university graduates were ap
plying by hundreds < or applying at
all) for housework at a wage of $20,
$15 and $10 per month, or working
for nothing but their board and j
room? Such are conditions now,
in the State of Washington, and
probably all thru the States.
At almost any alleyway in the
city you will find young girls and
women selling flowers—girls and
women whose speech and demeanor
speak of better days—taking this
form of begging as a last resort be
fore starvation.
“Too depressive for words,” Mrs.
Gardner says, and when it came
time to take the boat for home she
gave a sigh of relief at the pros
pect of leaving it all behind, and
the thud, thud of the engine head- |
ed toward God’s Country made |
pleasant music to lull homesick
passengers to sleep.
CHICAGO, Nov. 12.—Mayor Cer
mak told the beer barons of this
city to fire up the boilers in their
plants.
Speakeasies will be turned into
saloons where a glass of beer may j
be purchased for 5 cents, a stein
for 10 cents or a barrel for $20.
The state liquor law will be re
pealed, he said. A license of $1,000
for such establishments is being
considered.

Funeral services will be held at
2 o’clock Sunday afternoon in I.
O. O. F. hall with Rev- E. E. Reis
ner officiating. The funeral and
subsequent interment will be un
der the ausipces of the Seward Odd
Fellows Lodge. A beautifully lo
cated plot in the Odd Fellows cem
etery will be the final resting place
for the beloved little fellow.
