ARGUMENT FOR COURT TERM IN
SEWARD
To sale the court party of seven
people coming to Seward, the lollow
ing persons were taken to Valdez for
the fall term of court:
Ralph Reed, A. F. MeCallum, Robt. S.
Edwards, Luis Credipo, F. R. Bras
seur, P. Larsonfi J. A. Whitaker, S.
Denino, A. Nieblas, S. O. Casler, J. L.

Moore, O. Burns, E. Smith, P. Sois, W.
Pedersen, C. Pernum, Gus Hill, C. Se
vineau, K. Pekula, L. Grinstead, J.
Conseil, D. Duncan, Ralph Wolfe, Jas.
E. Hill, W. N. Reed, L. V. Ray, W. L.

Wieding, J. Lippert, Warren Albright,
Frank Lathbrooke, Miss A. Schneider,
C. A. Sponberg, Elias Hedberg, Elmer ,
Hedberg, Nancy Hedberg, Gus Berger, !
J. Rose, Oscar Gunderson, H. C. Cav-1
anaugh, Julien C. Hurley, Hugh Pick-1
ering, Ben Santos, Jennie Joy, Nellie j
J. Lein, Dr. Frank A. Flanders.
All of these were witnesses, priso£- ,
ers or officers from this part of the I
division. It cost each of them $8.50 j
fare each way and per diem and mile- j
age fees, besides other expenses to
reach Valdez, requiring a two days’ j
round trip beyond Seward. Each of
these men could have been better |
served by having this term of court j
held at Seward.
How does it strike you as a matter j
ol economy?
Unless Seward awakens from her;
lethargy and goes after what she i
wants she will never get it. Other
towns are gathering in the persim
mons, and Seward is watchfully wait- i
ing.
Many inquiries are sent to this pa-!
per regarding missing men and wom
en, whose relatives in li\- States are i
inquiring as to their whereabouts, i
Why not get the habit of writing to |
your relatives once in a while, and if j
you do not care to have they know
your address tell them so. It would
save an overworked press of Alaska
much worry and trouble.
