SEWARD HEARS A GENIUS
Vilma Bazant captivated her audience last evening
with a wonderful repertoire composed of selections from j
old masters of the violin. The deft artistry and techni
que of the young artist amazed her hearers who had but!
to shut their eyes to visualize listening to the masters,!
themselves.
Seward is wonderfully proud of Vilma.
Proud that not only Seward is her home but that a
child went forth into the world seven years ago and re
turned such an accomplished musician; proud that thru
the years she returned unspoiled and more firmly in love
with Alaska; proud that she will shortly take her place
among the topmost ranks of America’s artists, a reward
she certainly merits.
With her supple fingers entwined about the neck of
her precious violin and her other hand guiding the magic
bow,hauntingly, beautiful, truly magnificent soft tones
and again, suberb volumes, came forth at her bidding with
inspiring virility.
The eloquence of her masterly rendition, gripped, and
moved the soul.
A genius played in Seward last evening.
LOWELL CREEK FLUME JUSTIFIED
Congress at its next session will be asked to set aside
an annual fund of $10,000,000 or whatever amount may be
necessary, to be used in flood prevention work, according
to a report submitted at a meeting here of the Mississippi
River Commission.
In comparison with that, the $125,000 to be spent for
a flume to control Lowell creek in Seward is a drop in the
bucket.
PROGRESSIVE CITIZENS
How much does one's own affairs include? If one
doesn’t take an interest in his own affairs surely nobody
else will. One's affairs extend out beyond one's private
business into the community, and as much farther as he
is capable of making his personal and business influence
felt. Such a policy will build greater businesses, larger
incomes and more prosperous communities.
Seward should be proud that it and the surrounding
population have many of such men and women of influ
ence and worth to their community; men and women who
can look out and away from their desks, counters, work
benches and kitchen ranges and see and feel the needs of
their community and help in its betterment.
Who are you betting on to win the fight tomorrow?
So are we!
Now if some bright inventor in Seward could only
figure out how to harness the stray alley cat power his
fortune would be made.
What's the difference betting on the Tunney-Demp
sey fight or taking a chance on the Nenana ice pool? Lots!
There is no doubt now about the need of a large navy.
Missing fliers must be searched for.
We wonder what that open letter of Dempsey's was
all about. Is he afraid of being slipped a knockout drop?
To para-phrase Honest Abe: When government gets
to be of some people, for some other people, by a lot of
people, it's goodbye the rest of the people. Which also
includes us Alaskans.
An oldtimer thought syntax was something to be
paid to the revenue collector so being in the habit of
“kicking in" started to hand over a few bucks.

RATES BY FRANCE
LEAGUE OF NATIONS, FRANCE
ARE PERTURBED BY KEL
LOGG'S ATTITUDE
PAKIS, Sept. 21. (/P)—The United
[States has been granted temporary
preference tariff rates by the French
government pending permanent com
mercial treaty between the two Na
tions it is announced. The new ar
rangement automatically eliminates
the tariff law of September 6th under
(which mechanical tools and hard
ware coming from the United States
| were subjected to four fold duties.
[Importers of American products
under the temporary agreement will
get either the same advantages as
their competitors from Germany and
England, or will secure the benefits
of prolongation of the old treaty under
which trade was negotiated for sev
eral years between the two Nations.
The new commercial treaty will pro
bably give the U. S. equal footing
with competitors in France but it
generally conceded that the French
Government will demand heavy favors
of various sorts for granting prefer
ential rates.
It was learned that the League of
Nations, including France has be
come perturded by Secretary of State
Kelloggs attitude toward the League
of NationvantagasaerknYrfr siaoo.dl
on the Panama situation. The Ameri
can chief of Foreign affairs said
bluntly that the League of Nations
had- nothing to do with American re
lations with Panama concerning sov
ereignity in the Canal Zone. Anxiety
is aroused it is understood because
the League was making a play for
renewed interest on the part of
America in affairs of the League.
Reginald W. Fidgeon, S. C., is or
dered from Nome to Seward, he will
report to the officer in charge upon
his arrival here for duty.
Mr. Fidgeon is married and no doubt
will reside here in town. George E.
Moran is ordered to Anchorage for
duty and will leave Seward upon the
arrival of Mr. Fidgeon.
We are soon to lose one of our
most valued men. A man who by his
personality and good fellowship has
endeared himself to the hearts of his
many friends both on the system and
here in Seward.
Technical Sergeant Fred Moorhead,
Finance Department. U. S. Army.
Sergeant Moorehead will leave on or
about the 15th oof October for Fort
McArthur, Calif., and our good wishes
go with him to his new station. Adios
Fred.
