BIG MEETING PUNNED
FOR NEXT MONDAY NIGHT
All persons interested *n baseball,
i whether they are members of the
Seward Athletic Club or not. are
asked to attend the big meeting at
the S A. C. hall oil Monday night
at S o’clock. The purpose of this
gathering is to get base-ball in Sew
ard under way. With the growing
importance of the Port of Seward the
need of a ball club is vital.
But first, the grounds must be put
in shape and that can only be done
by the assistance from the public in
general, baseball players, fans and
other kind-hearted folk. The S. .
C., thank? to the Fire Department,
has a sum slightly over $50 in the
“kitty” to be used expressedly for
the purpose of the ball grounds.
This amount, augmented by beef and
brawn, will suffice.
Last year an excellent start was
made but a poor finish. The work
this spring can be picked up where
it was dropped last summer and car
ried through successfully within a
month providing, ahem!—the neces
sary beef and brawn turn out twice
a week.
The Signal Corps boys will turn out
to a man; members of the S. A. C
have also signified their steadfast
co-operation.
Never before in the history of the
city has there been so much material
for two or three speedy baseball
teams. A little work and a little
j cash will make a lot of fun for the
[ remainder of the season.

EXCELLENT FUR SEASON
The past season in the Illiamna

hear the appeal for more enthusiastic
[residents rather than summer tourists.
The people oi' the States must have it
pounded into them that Alaska is
something more than a place of ex
hausted gold, seething with fish and
everlasting snow.
To say a word concerning my im- [
pression of the people in Alaska, I
I find that this Territory is another
j melting pot, including the ignorant,
I unhealthy and weakling degenerates
; that is found in other melting pots of
j they world. They are a few strays
j of this type, but they don’t last long
and are soon gone. The real inhabi
tants are courteous, exceedingly con
genial, and I find that Diogenes would
smash his lamp and jump with glee
crying out: “At last I have found a
land where people are really honest.”
What is more, the people here have
hearts as big as a barn door and just
as broad. To put it short, the wild
days of tlie Alaskan barroom are long
since gone and forgotten, with today
giving us a people with characteristics
that are found in the greatest of all,
the quick-witted, broad-minded and in
telligent people of the world.
Truly, 1 love Alaska and all that’s
in it.
