WHEN THEY SAY GOODBYE
When they say “goodbye”, and the ship draws slowly
"" away and hands are waving in farewell something
starts right up thru the stomach arid the neck and the ob
long ablugata and then one can’t say anything and then
you are in a helluvafix. And the ship turns down the har
bor and we wonder “how come” for those aboard.
We wonder how many hearts are free, how many
hearts are sad. Its a terrible thing to see a ship sail away.
Ships come and go and with them all the tides of hu
man emotions. They carry away those we love and we
sometimes think they leave some of us they love behind.
Personally, we dont like to see a ship sail away because
when they cast off the last cable it seems as though
another string has gone from the heart.
Certanly in this buraeuacracy and voiceless age
no state of affairs such as has chased white men out of
Alaska and is rapidly sending scores of camps in the West
back to the wilderness, will be indefinitely permitted to
continue.

THINK OF THE SCHOOL
It is about time to remind the electors that another
vote on the $50,000 bond issue for a newT school building
in this city comes up on September 10. The first election
carried almost unanimously, but there were technical
matters later discovered that might have made the bond
issue illegal and which did not satisfy the bonding houses
willing to put up the money.
Since this matter has now been straightened out it
only remains for the citizens of Seward to again ratify
the proposition thru the formality of the ballot. It being
a foregone conclusion that such ratification is assured,
the city council has already asked for and has received
bids which will be opened tonight. Therefore, be prepared
to vote as you did before.
A cruise to Alaska with its fjords and glaciers and
superb sport, is an experience never to be forgotten. The
great inland sea of Puget Sound and the Inside Passage
to Alaska are unquestionably the very finest cruising
waters in the world.
Every mine ever found has been made by the miner
and prospector.
