NO PLACE FOR PESSIMISM
With reports coming in on every boat from the
south there is little room for pessimism in Alaska and
especially throughout this district of the Territory. Cer
tain lines of business endeavor up here have been effect
ed, it is true, but as a whole, there is no comparison be
tween activities in the North as compared, on an aver
age, to that found on the Outside. There is plenty of
room for Alaskans to be thankful that they are in Alas
ka, instead of the States, if the reports we hear are
correct.
Business may not be booming along full blast but
Seward has much to look forward too. A breakwater is
to be built, a connecting road link to Moose Pass, the
Quartz Creek road from the Pass to Cooper’s Landing,
a road to Kenai in the near future, a bigger dock, a coal
bunker and cold storage plant for reindeer, and so on.
Compare this lineup with other Alaskan towns.
When Nebuchadnezzar ate the grass he probably
didn’t appreciate the fact that he was getting the bene
fit of vitamins A and B.
SECRET DOCUIEKT
j WASHINGTON, July 16, (/?)—One 1
I of the secret documents on the j
I London Naval Treaty which reveal
ed how American delegates yielded
j to Great Britain and Japan, was
I forced into the Congressional re
cords by Senator Hiram Johnson of
j California, leader of the pact op- !
| ponents during a debate on the j
i treaty.
j One of the papers, refused the
Senate by President Hoover, dis- j
closed how the Americans had,
.dropped their demands for 21 large j
1 cruisers and acquiesced to 18. and j
1 for a super-dreadnaught of the j
.Rodney type.
I received their Frigidaire, and it j
j is a beautiful piece of workman- !
ship. The machine is finished in
1 color. Another one of these modern
| machines has been placed on dis
play at the Seward Machine shop,
i local Frigidaire dealers. The man
| agement of the Seward Machine
i Shop are ready to give demonstra
tions to anyone interested.
WHEAT PRICES DISCUSSED
WASHINGTON, July 17, {&)—
The crisis in discriminating wheat
prices was discussed at great length j
by the President and his Cabinet.
It is understood the administration i
has not thought of adopting the
Capper plan for governmental pur
chase of 100,000,000 bushels of
wheat in an effort to stabilize
prices.
