WELCOME, CONGRESSMAN
SIMMONS AND FAMILY!
—
Seward welcomes today Congressman Robert Glen-1
more Simmons, Mrs. Simmons and their children, who j
arrived on the Cutter Chelan from the Westward.
Not only Seward citizens, but the majority of Al
askans will appreciate the visit to the Northland of the |
distinguished Nebraskan who is sufficiently interested \
in Alaska and her problems to come up and visit us; to |
see at first hand what it is all about. We have every
thing in the world up here, Congressman Simmons, but
proper understanding for the development of our mani
fold and unlimited resources. These you will see and
ualize as you journey through our homeland.
We extend to you a sincere hand of welcome and,
when Congress next convenes, and if you believe Alaska
needs a helping hand, we will be glad.
In the face of the annual howl about the constant
depleted supply of fish in Alaskan waters, the news dis
patches of the past week and today recording the fact
that one of the largest packs in the history of the Terri
tory will probably be put up, are extrmely gratifying.
Not only is the pack larger todate but the fish are big
ger, conclusive evidence, we should say, that there is no
thing seriously wrong with Alaska fisheries.
MAJORITY ARE TRUSTWORTHY
The Juneau Empire makes editorial comment on the
fact that lawyers imprisoned in San Quentin will be al- j
lowed to offer their services to other crooks seeking j
freedom and states that it is a good deal like bald-1
headed barbers selling hair restorers.
We believe that there are many crooked lawyers; ;
perhaps more so than in any other profession, but the |
reason for this is the fact that their occupation presents j
more opportunities to deal unfairly with other men.
We also believe that a large majority of lawyers are j
honest and are faithful to their clients. Whenever you
see a person, firm, or corporation that continues to em
ploy the same attorney for a number of years, it is a
safe conclusion that that lawyer is an honest, trust
worthy man.
Aristide Briand, beaten at the French polls, goes
right ahead with his plans for industrially uniting Eu- i
rope and a more prosperous France. A smaller man
would have retired to the balm of the Riviera, or taken
to writing memoirs. To his more profound achievements
he has added that of being a good loser.

HUNDRED THOUSAND
TIES BE REQUIRED
NEXT FEW TEARS
As was announced last week
during the brief visit in the city of
Col. Otto F. Ohlson, general man
ager of the Alaska Railroad, tie
specifications under the recent re
vision are hereby received and
published. Colonel Ohlson’s letter
follows:
Observations and recent inspec
tion of the tie situation on The Al
aska Railroad proved the super
iority of the native mountain hem
lock tie, and in order to encourage
tie cutters to increase the tie pro
duction in the Territory it has
been decided to morify our present
tie specifications, even though it
should be necessary to pay a
slight increase in the price of
same. I
The Alaska Railroad will require
for the next two or three years ap
proximately 100,000 ties per year,
and it would undoubtedly stimu
late business along The Alaska
Railroad if that number of ties,
could be produced each year. This
does, not however, mean that we
will accept inferior ties, and tie
producers are cautioned to strictly
comply with the liberal specifica
tions, which are attached hereto,
and which you may publish.
TIE SPECIFICATIONS
.Native hewed mountain hemlock
ties:
No. 1 Tie—Thickness 6Y2—8”;
face 714”—12”; length 8’
No. 2 Tie—Thickness 6”—7”;
face 6”—12”; length 8’
20 percent No. 2 ties may be ac
cepted. No change in specifications
of local sawed ties and price will
be the same as for hewed ties.
The above prices will not change
or affect contracts covering the
cutting of local ties now in opera
tion.
Southwestern western hemlock
ties:
No change in sawed Southeast
ern Alaska tie price or specifica
tions, except we will accept 20 per- j
cent instead of 10 percent No. 2;
ties.
A valuable opportunity. Don’t
miss it. Dr. J. W. Edmunds, pro
minent Seattle eye specialist will
be at the Van Gilder Hotel Fri
day 17. One day only owing to
changed and limited time sche
dule. Phone for appointment. Con
sultation free. Dr. J. W. Edmunds.
