GAME WARDEN FOR SEWARD
0?
nee again the need of a game warden permanently sta
— tioned in Seward is seen with the arrival the othei day
from the Westward regions, of men bringing fur, anr
who wished the services of a warden prior to shipping
their fur out. . j *
The nearest game warden was at Anchorage, and he
could not come, it is said, owing to lack of funds. So the
fur men volunteered to pay his expenses, ovei. Many
small difficulties like this case has come up in the past.
The stragetie position of Seward with relation to the
fur industry has long been known and it is hoped that.in
the very near future the game commission may find its
way clear to station a warden here permanently, as m
days past before favoritism was shown and the office was
removed to Anchorage.
No man ever came to the Territory of Alaska who
deserves greater credit for his undertakings than Russell
Merrill, aviator. '
THANKS TO “GIMPY” HARRIS
One of the finest Fourth of July celebrations Seward has
ever enjoyed passed into history last night. From
early morning to late at night the citizens and visitors
were treated to one continuous round of good clean fun
and sport. And from expressions heard on every hand
most of the credit goes to Charles Harris (Gimpy Q. X.),
the lad who handled the megaphone throughout the day
and evening.
Sergeant Evans must not be overlooked, as well as
other members of the Fire Department under whose aus
pices the celebration was held. Harris and Evans made a
great team, and with the Department and Signal Corps
members, earned the sincere gratitude of the throng
which held sway on the streets.
In a frontier country like Alaska, mineralized as it is,
the first development must be mining. Agriculture fol
lows.
AT LEAST WORTHY OF A TRIAL
0 ;
It seemed to be the concensus of opinion that the
Westward citizen who addressed the Seward Chamber
of Commerce Tuesday, advocating that the trapping of
beaver should be permissable for prospectors only, that
his attitude was excellent and that it was at least worthy
of a trial. By allowing only prospectors to trap beaver
their grubstake would be assured and in turn natural re
sources developed.
If this would mean development of Alaska’s mineral
resources, there can only be one answer, and that is, make
it a law. And, as the Westward citizen further stated, if
it were found not to be applicable, discard it.
When we write the truth it isn’t so necessary to keep
a carbon ccrpy.
DON’T READ THIS
Same old stuff! The transportation department of
the Alaska Railroad, unexpeetantly, changed the regular
train schedule a few days ago, with the announcement
yesterday’s train would arrive in Seward at midnight in
stead of the usual hour, 7 p. m. Did it arrive? Far be it
from such, brother, it steamed into the local yard on July
5th ..instead of the 4th, a day behind time. It would take
a Philadelphia lawyer to attempt to keep track of this de
partment and he, in q]l probability, would give it up in dis
gust.
One of Alaska’s greatest ills is the attitude of many
Alaskans knocking other Alaskans. %
The smaller athletic events in the
Fourth of July celebration yesterday
kept the citizens of the city, and visl
#
tors, occupied from early morning
until night. Boys and girls from the
Jesse Lee Home took the majority of
the prizes, but some of them were
