VALUE OF EXTERNALS
It is a sage proverb that you may take a man, array
him in a new suit, give him two dollars to rattle in his
pocket, and change his entire perspective in life.
The same effect can be produced in a community,
simply by improving externals. The worst advertiseme nt
that can be given to a community is unkemptness of pre
mises. On the other, a little paint and repair, regardless
of the humble nature of the edifice, not only engenders a
different feeling in its owner, but impresses the visitor
as a sense of pride on display.
There is no denying that Seward has unkemptness,
too much for a city which serves as the gateway for
strangers enroute to the interior and return.
Now is the hour for “clean-up” and “paint-up” ac
tion. There are those as yet uncalled for summer’s acti
vities who are available to perform these worthy tasks.
No better appeal could be made to visitors than pret
ty flower gardens where now only debris shows, well
kept homes and business houses, spick and span in a new
spring dress of paint. And all these things, like the new
suit, has a salutary effect in engendering a pride and in
spiration to advance.
And while Seward is in the throes of renovation and
beautification, we suggest that the Alaska Railroad send
over a carload of paint and set a crew to work, tidying
up the dock buildings, railings and approach to steamers.
Such beauty spots as Arcade Park serve to accentu
ate the unsightly conditions of the remainder of the city,
especially the alleys and vacant lots.
POLISH TROOPS HOE
CONGENTOATEO BORDER:
BERLIN. May 21.—The Berlin
press renewed charges that Palish
military activity near German
frontiers were causing a most dis
quiting situation.
Recently there have been reports
of an alarming nature from the
eastern frintier where the Lithu
anian political activities in Mimel |
and alleged military concentration |
in the Polish corridor have disturb
ed German nationalists.
The nationalists in a dispatch:
from Danzig described a stream of I
Polish military transports passing i
thru the free city. The dispatch j
also said Polish troops had been;
concentrated at neighboring towns
while Polish soldiers urere partici- ;
pating in semi-military organiza- |
tions which have been maneuver
ing on the frontier.
QUESTION UNDETERMINED
TOKIO, May 21, (/Pi —Whether I
Japan will have a party govern
ment or a super party government
was still undecided. The army it j
is understood insists on the for-!
mation of a government definitely
pledged to a number of reforms in
cluding an increased taxation of the
wealthy, relief for the rural pop
ulation and a stronger national de- i
fence as well as a positive foreign
policy.
TAKING DRASTIC STEPS
BOMBAY, India, May 21, (JP)—
Governor Sykes today called out
the fifth Bombay Field Brigade,
the Royal Auxilary force and the
Bombay light horse which are made
up of non-official Europeans to
supplement his majesty’s regular
forces in dealing with the Hindu
Mosslem riots. Fifteen deaths were
added to the total of more than
100 killed thus far in the revolt.

Madrid, Spain, to Manila, P. I.,

weather at Mankai, China, today,

Grim relics, found within the past
few days, are mute evidence of a
sea tragedy that was enacted not
far from Juneau several years ago.
Broken pieces of a boat and several
human bones were discovered on

and Icy Point, which places are
between Cape Spencer and the
westward side of Lituya Bay. The
boat was documented as the T
300. W. G. Rohrer, who signed her
registered papers, died at Douglas
several years ago. No report of the
craft had been made in years. A
cutter has been sent to conduct an
investigation.

SENATOR I. J. Dili
IKES MDIO SPEECH
Senator A. J. Dimond, Democra
tic standard bearer in Alaska for
Delegate to Washington, gave a
splendid broadcast over KFQD, at
Anchorage, Friday evening, follow
ing the news broadcast by “J. P.”
“Tony’s” broadcast was not a
political speech but one in which
he first said was one of apology
for not being able to have talked
during the recent primary cam
paign, which he had expected to
have done, but owing to the ele
ments, airplanes were forced to'
remain grounded at that particu
lar time making flying from Cor
dova and Valdez impossible.
He then thanked his many sup
j porters for the honor of represent
j ing them in the general election
| next November.
| His main subject was that in i
connection with the recent Con-!
gressional action which may mean
cutting roads and trails appropria
tions to such a low estimate which
would be extremely injurious to the
entire Territory, and urged every
Alaskan resident to write or wire
to their individual friends at Wash
ington in behalf of this appropria
tion which should be passed as
j contained in the original bill.
