PRIMARY ELECTION TOMORROW
Tomorrow, Tuesday, April 29, will be a day of much
anxiety to candidates at the primary election who aspire
to run for Territorial offices and the Alaska Legislature,
at the Fall general election. The local poll, in the fire
hall, wil he open from 8 a. m. until 7 p. m. Offices to he
filled by nomination are a delegate to congress, one ter
ritorial senator, four representatives, an auditor, treas
urer, highway engineer and commissioner of education.
Let your conscience be your guide!
ECLIPSE DUE TODAY
Those who enjoy watching an eclipse should have
had their smoked glasses on today when the only eclipse!
of the sun to be visible in America this year was due to
occur.
It was supposed to visible in parts of California,
Oregon, Nevada, Idaho and Montana, and nearly so in
oth<portions of the Northwest. Throughout the rest
of the country it was thought it would be seen as a par
tial eclipse.
In states using Pacific time the eclipse began at 9.40
a. in., in Mountain states about 11 a. m., Central states
about 12.30 p. m., according to their respective times.
An eclipse of the sun is caused by the moon coming
between the earth and the sum while an eclipse of the
moon occurs when the earth gets directly between the
sun and the moon. Because of the irregular motions of
the moon, exactness in predicting the time of an eclipse
involves a highly complicated mathematical problem.
Yet modern astronomers do predict them within
from one to four seconds of their actual time of occur
rence and these predictions can be made 100 years or
more in advance if desired.
CANDIDATE CAL M. BROSIUS
Just a word here in behalf of Cal M. Brosius, Sew
ard’s representative candiate to the Alaska Legislature,
ard’s representative candidate to the Alaska Legislature,
for a Territorial office; a duty which has been sadly ne
glected in the past. If the citizens of this district desire
representation, instead of having some one from anoth
er town to fight our battles, the only way to get it is
to support our candidates tooth and nail. In the past we
have had able men up for candidates but seldom elected.
Later, the hue and cry goes up that Seward never gets
anything; meow! blubber, etc. etc!
Mr. Brosius, long a prominent business man of this
city, was recently elected, at the annual Pioneers of Alas
ka convention, held at Anchorage. Grand President.
AA hilt he lays no claim as being a brilliant politician, yet
his constituents know him to he a level headed fellow
who has made a success out of his own business. He is
not backward in expressing his opinions and on the floor
of the Territorial House of Representatives, we do not!
believe he will hesitate one moment in battling for what
he believes is best for the majority, whether In Seward
or any where else in this division.
Let’s put him over 100 percent!
ROAD BUILDER CALLED
The many friends of V. K. Woods, road builder for
the Seims Construction Company, will be shocked upon
reading today’s dispatch from Juneau announcing his
sudaen demise. Mr. Woods was well known here having,
during the last few years, built the cut-off road, Seward
Kenai Lake Highway, and last year resurfaced the radio
station i oao. His road work will ever stand as a nionu-!
ment to his genius.
One of the bright spots on Seward’s mining mining
industry horizon is the Moose Pass and Hope districts.
