Editor Thompson oi the Fairbanks
News-Miner is advocating the con
struction of a $15,000 fountain and
bathing pool at Fairbanks in memory
of the visit of President and Mrs.
Harding to the Interior. \Y. F. warns
his readers, however that he is not
in favor of using the water lor any
purposes but bathing, which state
ment will do more to insure its erec
tion than any other cause.
Seward Post, American Legion,
and the Auxiliary to the Post will
be one of the few posts in Alaska
having representatives at the nation-,
al convention held at San Francisco j
this month. The advertising result- j
ing from this representation will be j
of great benefit to Alaska. Adjutant j
A. E. Rucker will represent the local j
organization, and Mrs. Rucker will
represent the auxiliary, and that they
will boost for Alaska goes without
saying. This convention will be one
of the largest affairs held in San
Francisco this year, and Seward Post
is fortunate in having representation.
Kenai Lake is destined to become '
he playground of Seward residents, j
is soon as the highway to the lake is j
completed. This wonderful body of
water 23 miles long and from one to
Ive miles in width, has hundreds of,
•harming nooks, well sheltered and
dose to mountain streams, where |
iummer homes can be built. The lake
eems with trout, including rainbows,
tnd is an inviting spot for spending
he week end. Many Seward resi
lents have already selected camping
dtes, and will build cabins.
Seward has many fine vegetable
garden, fine cows, pretty babies and
women skilled in cooking, preserving
ind needlecraft. A two or three days’
air would cause at least $1000 terri
orial money to be spent in prices.
vVhy not go after iL
If the Ku Klux Klans win out in
Oklahoma it will be a blow to the
constitution of the United States,
which guarantees every person safety
n life, liberty and the pursuit of
lappiness. What would the immortal
vVebster, Henry or Washington say to
he attempts of the Ku Klux, the I.
vY. W.’s, the Bolsheviks and Anar
diists, who bomb buildings, cut off
nen’s ears and institute a reign of
error to force others to adopt their
deas? The government is entirely
oo lenient with traitorous offenders,
t is only a question of time until
;uch anarchy overthrows the govern
nent.
Seward citizens who complain about
th£ present rains, should be compell
ed to live in Nebraska and Iowa for
a time, where creeks and rivers,
swollen by torrential rains, have caus
ed a great loss of life and damage to
property. Seward has plenty of rain,
but the only way it resembles the
downpours of the east is that it is
wet.
POSTMASTER AT KETCHIKAN
ALLOW PAY FOR OVERTIME
Postmaster E. E. Blackmar of the
city of Ketchikan has received au
thorization from the postal depart
ment to pay overtime for the handling
of mails when they arrive at night.
The allotment is small, it is said, but
it is hoped it will be increased so as
to provide pay for postmasters work
ing over eight hours.
If Postmaster Root charged over
I time for his services he would practi
! eally bankrupt the government, as
double the mail passes through the
Seward office than any other office in
the territory. At times Mr. Root and
his clerks work nearly all night in
order to accommodate liis patrons,
and lor his extra work he receives
thanks from the public—not.
Seward should be allowed an extra
clerk or Mr. Root should adopt the
Ketchikan postmaster’s style.
RED CROSS MEETING
There will be a meeting of the ex
ecutive committee of the Seward
Chapter of the Red Cross Friday eve
ning at 7 o'clock in the cit> hall. All
members of the chapter are urged to
attend as important matters to be dis
cussed. Prompt attendance desired.
REMARKABLE HORSEMANSHIP
Some astonishing feats of horse
manship has been accomplished by
riders with relays of horses. Promi
nent in this category is the case of
Charles XII. of Sweden, who rode from
Demstica in Turkey to Strelsun, on
the Baltic, a distance of 1300 miles in
a fortnight, during which he averaged
90 miles a day.
TWO AMERICANS HELD BY
RED GUARD FOR SMUGGLING
NOME: August Masik, former
member of the life saving station at
Nome returned on the cutter Bear
from Siberia. He stated that two
men, Arnold Castell and Peter Paul
sen, who made the trip with him, are
held by the Soviet authorities pending
the arrival of a Russian gunboat from
Vladivostok which is supposed to
have aboard Soviet officials that will
settle the trading uifficuldes along
the Siberian coast.
Costell and Paulsen ate being held
for hav’ng iais in their "possession
obtained in Siberia. Masik states he
did not nave any trouble in leaving
Siberia as h? di.l not have any lure
at the time of his departure.
The Soviet and what is known as
the White government both collect
separate taxes from the same traders,
for the same items, neither govern
ment recognizing the other’s rights to
collect.
Masik states that no fox skins can
be taken from the country Food is
very scare and the natives will be in
a starving condition this winter un
less relief is sent.

BUCYRUS, O., Oct. 4.—The follow
ing story on Henry Ford is told by a
Ijoom clerk at the Elberson hotel in
this city, where Ford, Thomas A. Edi
son, and Marvel S. Firestone of Ak
ron, Ohio, their wives and other mem
! bers of the party stopped recently en
route to Northern Michigan for a va
cation trip.
“When members of the party were
assigned to their rooms the ladies
j were quite insistent that they have a
! room with a bath. When it came time
j to assign Mr. Ford to a room he said:
jv“What have you left? All I want is
! a place to sleep. If it has a bath all
| right. If it hasn’t I’ll get along with
i out a bath. Mr. Edison may need a
bath. I don’t.”
Mr. Ford was assigned a comfort
able room with bath.
MARVELOUS RECOVERY 3Y
NEW INSULIN TREATMENT
LONDON, Oct. 4.—Insulin has saved
the life of a five year old South Afri
can boy who was brought to London
a few weeks ago suffering from dia
betes, being in a state of coma and
nearly dead. Today he is plump and
happy. Hospital experts here regard
this as the most remarkable example
of the efficacy of the insulin treat
ment yet experienced.
Frank I. Reed, proprietor of the
popular Hotel Anchorage, who spent
Sunday in Seward, is very optimistic
over the outlook this winter in An
chorage. Mr. Reed believes that the
tourist trade will be a big asset to
Anchorage, and that travel will in
crease each year.
Frank Towle, who has been working
this summer at Moose l*ass, arrived
in Seward last night, and left today
for his home on lower Kenai lake.
Dick Wind mull er, a former road
house man on the Richardson road, in
the early days, left on one of the last
boats for San Francisco to spend the
winter, the first time he has been out
i or many years. Mr. Windmuller was
one of the best known of the oldtim
ers along the trail, and until the auto
superseded the stage coach, made a
snug sum out of the business. Later
he sold out and removed to Valdez,
the past year residing in'Seward and
Anchorage.

of dairies and milch cows in his re
port to the council at Anchorage, con

found in first class condition, and the
cattle in perfect health.
