PLAYING THE GAME .
When General Manager Otto F. Ohlson of the Alas
ka Railroad got his first glimpse of Seward and found it
a sightly city in beautiful surroundings he immediately
hit upon a keynote idea. He said it looked so good that it
ought to look better.
He thereupon made the proposition that the road
would move the depot from its present position to a new
and splendid site on the front approach of the city and so
doll things up generally that the Seward waterfront
would be a treasure and a joy forever to those travelers
first approaching our shores.
He stipulated, however, as a sort of a stimulant, that
Seward citizens should give him cooperation in doing a
little more beautifying themselves. He pointed no accus
ing finger at any particular spot but indicated clearly
that Seward might send a few of her bedraggled skirts
to the laundry.
With the gauge thus clearly thrown down, it is only
sporting, as the English say, to play the game.
There are said to be three million golf players in the
United States. In fact they admit it themselves.
The man secures the facts about a mining industry
or enterprise and buys stock to develop the project is the
kind of an investor that the mining industry likes to
have. The man who buys stock without the facts becomes,
in the long run, a dissatisfied, knocking holder of shares.
If Methuselah had run for office in his old age
wouldn’t the opposition have been kept busy looking up
his record?
Who remembers when folks used to forecast election
results by the length of the rival torchlight procession?
