COURT HEADQUARTERS IN SEWARD
lUhen the President of the United States officially desig
nated Seward as the ocean terminus of the Alaska Rail
road, and that railroad was completed from Seward to
Fairbanks, a distance of 470 miles, thereby connecting the
3000 miles of Alaska’s southern seaport with its 3000 miles
of interior navigable riyers, and uniting both with all of
the rich valleys in between,' it settled for all time the geo
graphic fact that Seward is to be not alone the commercial
metropolis and the industrial port for all of the vast coun
try of which it is the shipping and railroad center, but also
one of the great cities of the Pacific cast from San Diego
to Nome.
The headquarters for the United States Court estab
lished at Valdez in the early days of mining stampedes be
fore there was a Seward or a railroad to the interior. It
is no reflection on a neighboring town that once had 10,000
population but now has less than 300 to say that Valdez
cheerfully awards the future to Seward.
There is no plausible reason why the population in the
Third Judicial District, as far north as Broad Pass on the
Alaska Railroad, a distance of 300 miles, and as far west
as Dutch Harbor, a distance of 300 miles, and as far west
miles, should be taken to a small hamlet at one extreme end
of the district, at great expense of time and money, when
the natural and convenient center for all of that population
is at the meeting place of railroad and steamship, the city
of Seward.
Looking to the future, every man who knows the re
sources and the climate of Alaska must know that the
densest population will be on the Kenai peninsula, within
a radius of 150 miles of Seward.
The hundreds of little valleys all through this favored
part of Alaska, the Kenai peninsula, and the vast shelf in
its western part between Cook Inlet and the Kenai moun
tains, 30 miles wide by 100 miles long, have gardening and
other agricultural resources alone sufficient to support
1,000,000 population. There are in addition resources in
grazing that will make it a live stock and dairying country
of National importance, because of its favorable climate in
summer and winter.
All of those rich valleys are now or will be soon direct
ly connected with Seward by railroad, steamships, or auto
mobile highwavs.
Why not frankly recognize the logic of facts and fu
ture developments by doing now what will have to be done
eventually, that is to say, accommodate the bulk of papula'
tion by establishing the headquarters of the United States
Court for the Third District at Seward?

ROME EXPRESSIONS BITTER
ROME, Aug. 23. (JP)—News of the
execution of Sacco and Vanzetti was
communicated to the population of
Rome by a special edition of the
Popolo Di Roma under the headline
“Tragic farce is finished; Sacco
Vanzetti Killed.” The entire front
page was devoted to the case with
photographs of Governor Fuller and
the condemned men and a detailed
diagram of the death house. Expres
sions of bitterness were heard among
the people and unusual precautions
were taken to guard the American
Embassy. Twenty-five men were
placed about the Embassy. “This
is not the healthiest moment for
.American aviators to come to Rome,”
was one remark heard; “Thank God
! it is over and Sacco and Vanzetti
jean rest peacefully but we will not
j forget,” said another.
