WILLIAM H. SEWARD
ALASKA DAY
It goes without saying that today, Alaska Day, will be the
* subject of much favorable comment and applause in the
majority of Territorial papers, so taking this for granted
we will look upon Alaska Day from the less rosy slant.
It would seem to us to be more appropriate to make
Alaska Day a day of mourning rather than jubilation. The
only measure of elation which may be correctly expressed
is over the fact that its people have survived and perform
ed a herculean task under hardships which would have
been worthy under only of its former rulers.
Petty application of rules and regulations, the “car
pet-baggers” who seek in Alaska, during their brief spell
of autocracy, to upheave its placid contenance as a step
ping stone toward personal success, epitomizes the cause
for Alaskans becoming somewhat discouraged at times.
Yet there is still hope for the day jvhen wisdom will
supplant the present system and emancipation will come.
Then we may lift our voices and shout in full glory of the
greatest of all frontier countries.
THE CITY ELECTION
A pril 3rd is the date set for the Municipal election in the
“City of Seward. The citizens will be called upon to
vote for a mayor, three councilmen and a member of the
school board.
Filings have closed and registration closes tomorrow
night (Saturday) at 10 o’clock, at the City Clerk’s office.
Unless you register you are not entitled to vote. It is the
duty of every citizen, man and woman, to register. It is
the only election registration of the year.
Let us make this year the largest registration ever.
The coming year promises to be one of Seward’s most
prosperous ones for hundreds of thousands of dollars will
be spent on improvements. A live-wire town or city is
judged by loyalty to the home town. Register today or
tomorrow without fail!
After reading about Remus being released today
from an insane hospital Alaskans need not be surprised to
hear Hickman will soon be released. What crimes are
committed in the name of justice.
There is no cleaner business in the world than the de
veloping of our mines and resources.
Sincere men engaged in the development of mining
and other natural resources raise their development funds
from men who appreciate that there is nothing sure in the
world but death and taxes.
FIREMEN SINK THE CITY
AT INDOOR BASEBALL
Chalk up one victory for Charlie
Sheldon and the Firemen’s indoor
baseball team.
Charlie, in the last half of the ninth
inning, with one man out, one man
on base and the score standing at a
tie, 16 to 16, drove out a “homer”
which put last night’s game with the
City team, on ice.
Another spectacular player and un
known phenom made his appearance
in the Firemen’s line-up in the person
of Sgt. Probasco. This chap socked
the old horsehide twice for circuit
clouts. Capt. Shellhorn feels proud of
his lads today though in the begin
ning of the fracas it dud not look so
good.
Capt. Hopkins, pilot of the losers,
wore a long face after the game, for
according to the cards they should
have walked off with the game.
Baker performed like a veteran in
the box for the City wuth dynamite
Urie supporting him in big league!
style.
The Army, leaders of the league,
and the Firemen, play next Thursday.
Standing of the league:
W L P
Army 2 0 1000
Firemen 1 1 500
City 0 1 600
A freight train left Seward today for
Interior podnts and with it went Gill j
Rich, salesman, and George Nelson
and Harry Lucas, trappers and profes
sional guides.
