REMOVAL UNNECESSARY
The agitation tor the removal o
court headquarters has grown out o
the apparent desire by court offit ial.
to carry cases originating at ot licit
points, to court headquarters lor trial
This subjects business men and work
ing men to a great hardship, as the:
are compelled to make a long trip u
Valdez, pay high prices tor iood anc
lodging, and return home with lest
money than they started, as the five
dollar-per-diem tee is not enough t(
pav expenses, d he court officials ex
peases are paid by the government
so they are not losing money by com
ing to Seward or Anchorage. Witness
es arriving in Seward irom the wesi
ward are compelled to wait here lot
a boat and upon their return Iron
Valdez encounter another long wai
before the Starr sails west. I lie:
could come to Seward, and by propel
co-operation with attorneys and cour
officials, return on the same boat
which remains in port here from 1!
to 15 days. The government wouh
also save considerable money in mile
age fees. If a court term is held a
regular intervals in the four cities o
the division, it hardly matters wher
court headquarters are.
PAYROLLS NEEDED
The important factor in building u
a town in the Northland is bein
overlooked. This factor is jobs fc
the workingman. Without some kin
of permanent payroll it is hard t
induce working men to locate her*
We must have industries which ru
the year around. Seward has tw
sawmills. Why not manufacture bo
shooks for nearby canneries? Wh
not briquet the sawdust? It make
the finest kindling in the world whe
pressed into bricks with melted resit
Why noi start a tin can manufactu
ing plant to run during the winte
months. A wood splitting machine i
badly needed in town. With one c
these machines every knot and twis
ed piece could be made into stov'
wood. There are millions of ptarm
gan. Why not can them for wintf
use, when they are at their best
There are many ways of starting
small payroll, if we will only get <
it.
The workman is the bone and sine
of a town. Without him there woul
be no stores, no theatres, no busines
of any kind. Therefore they shoul
be provided with the means of gaii
iing a livelihood.
EXTRA CLERKS NEEDED
One matter that should be taken u
by the Chamber of Commerce is add
tional help in the postoffice. Pos
master Root is compelled to give th
public many long hours for which h
is not paid to work. He is on the jc
night and day, Sundays and wee!
days, the amount of mail passin
through the office being enormou
Some 500 sacks of mail went west o
the last trip of the Starr. This a
had to be handled, piled up, placed c
trucks, and checked out. Every piec
of mail arriving in Seward for the I
terior is handled many times, eith<
at the wharf or at the postoffice. A
additional clerk would bring the worl
ing hours down to ten or twelve, whi(
are about four too long.
Starting December first, and coi
tinning throughout the winter T1
Gat' way will publish “Help Wante<
an.' Work Wanted” advertisemen
in i s Classified column free of chart
in oiuor to help the working mt
winter in the town. There must 1
lots of small jobs where a man
needed. Phone in your wants to T1
Gateway.
The chamber of commerce lunc
eon tonight is in the nature of an €
periment. Many business men ha
complained that they have not time
attend the midday luncheons, and c
come if the functions are held in t
evening. Tonight will reveal the a
ual facts in the edse.
