THE NEW ADMINISTRATION
Unlike most other towns and cities which elected new
administrations, Seward's election was more a matter of
good-natured rivalry than one involving contentious
matters. Free from this element and breeder of discord
the administration of the new city dads should be fraught
with smooth running and constructive action.
Among the big problems will be the matter of settling
the time and method for raising Seward's contribution to
the Lowell creek project, and therein will repose the hard
est labors of all. Yet it is felt that the matter will be han
dled judiciously. Therefore congratulations for the new
Council and the old-new Mayor are in order with every
wish for success.
. In Chicago they used machine guns to keep voters
from the polls, while in Seward it almost became neces
sary to employ the same methods to get them to vote.
Now if they would only adopt the Dawes plan for
settling the alimony question there would be less fear
of matrimony on the part of millionaires.
If hay really becomes available as automobile fuel we
shall hear fellows bragging about how many miles they
get to the bale.
Possibly President Coolidge vetoed the McNary
Haughen bill because it contained no provision for the dis
posal of surplus wild oats.
Mrs. Carry Chapman Catt, leading exponent of femi
nine politics, says that when a woman puts on a short
skirt and “rolls her own," she says in effect: “Look at my
pretty legs." She does not say what bid is made for a
pair like a beer keg or harness hames.
Mayor Thompson warns King George to keep out of
Chicago. Why single out George, and not warn all others
not desiring to become an undesirable insurance risk?
Legislators should erect a monument to the fellow
who invented junketing trips.
From thelooks of the Admiral Watson’s hawsepipes
when she docked last night, she was running at the nose.
Weather forecast: Northerly winds, slightly harder
with every other sneeze.
Wind! You'dorter feel it blow in Medicine Hat, Al
berta.
Now that the wind has blown Friday out of last week
and moved the Arctic circle 300 feet it should be satisfied.

ON STEAMER
The S. S. Admiral Watson, Capt.
j Sam Glass, of the P. S. S. Co., arrived
j in port last night at 12 o’clock from
j the south, discharged a few passen
! gers and a small tonnage, and left for
j the Westward three hours later. In
I all probability, the local office advises,
the steamer will return Saturday en
route south. The vessel will not lay
| over southbaund on this trip until
j the following Monday as the schedule
calls for, owing to the press of busi
ness prior to the opening of the tour
’st season. »
The local gale hindered somewhat
the berthing of the steamer alongside
the dock and it was noted hoar frost
freely covered all exposed parts of
the vessel.

gust Nyman. Oscar Wick and Ed Bent.

SEXTON WAS FIRST VOTER
The first citizen to cast his vote
at yesterday’s annual municipal elec
tion was George Sexton. They say
he remained up all night to have the
honor but the truth of the matter is
Mr. Sexton has been staying up every
night for the last eight days since the
start of the local gale, keeping vigil
against fire.

-Nick Nickferoff, critically ill for a
number of days past, passed away at
12:30 this afternoon, death resulting
from pneumonia. He is survived by
Mrs. Nickeroff and eight children. The
family have lived in Seward for the
last five years. Mr. Nickeroff had
been a member of the local section
