MAKING a “CITY BEAUTIFY^,,
T'ne Women’s Club ol Reward will
offt r prizes this year t,o residents hav
ing the niQSl hef.atu'vd flower and veg
stable gardens. The club might go even
farther and give prizes to those whose
premises show the greatest degree ol
neatness, and cleanliness. Many oth
erwise fine homes about the city are
marred by unsightly piles of tin cans,
rubbish and other unsightly garbage,
which militates against the city as a
whole. Another drawback to the pos
sible improvement of premises in the
city is the fact that no sooner does a
renter beautify his premises than his
rent, in some instances, is raised, and
he is forced to move out and sacrifice
his improvements, or pay the price
asked. Fortunately, this has happei ed
in but few cases, the average landlord
making it as easy as possible on his
tenants. Until Seward has more habi
table houses the waiting list will cause
recurrent uneasiness among tenants.
The Women’s Club has done much to
beautify Seward, but has received lit
tle co-operation ffom the citizens. The
town of Skagway, with far less travel
than Seward enjoys, has the reputa
tion of having the fin 'st gardens in
Alaska, in fact, one or two having a
national reputation.
If every resident of Seward got in
and made his home as attractive as
possible, it would not only be a good
advertisement for the town, but would
cause more civic pride in tin' commu
nity. which apparently is badh needed
at the present time. Flowers, grass
and paint do much to beautify a town,
and all are cheap and easi’y had.
In addition to the prize offered by
the Women’s Club, the Gateway will
give a $5 prize to the resident show
ing the finest collection of flowers,
grown Av-ut of doors, the award to be
mad? b^ th* same judges as make the
award for tho V\ qrpen's Club, and at
the sam.e time, it they will consent to ‘
a'.t for the G-iip.waj

SEIZES OPPORTUNITY
-.
(Anchorage Times)
The Seward Chamber of Commerce
| is an aggressive organization, compos
ed of energetic business men and man
aged by capable officials. Seward
is going after the business to the
westward. The civic organization plans
a business men’s excursion trip to the
Bristol Bay section and practically ev
| cry business house in Seward will be
represented.
While the idea did not originate
with the Seward organization, the fact
remains that the members are taking
advantage of the opportunity to turn
the westward tide of trade to their
port, and the excursion plan will un
doubtedly bear fruit.
Part of this business rightfully be
longs to Seward on account of geo
graphical location; Seward is not pros
elyting in this venture, but naturally
the merchants will boost for their own
home town.
Anchorage has ever been remiss in
this particular, and while a more or
less half-hearted effort has been made
to introduce Anchorage merchandise
to the westward and Cook Inlet ports,
the idea has not approached any well
defined program.
By concerted action on the part of
Anchorage businessmen who would
support the movement it is possible to
establish a service which would ade
quately care for the business which
WO'vi’v, naturally arise from such a ven
ture*
Anchorage is no less agressive than
Seward. ■ •• -
What does it avail a poor man to
pay an income tax out of his slender
savings when he knows it will be
spent by grafting political appointees.
If some one would suggest an inves
tigating committee to look into the
politic;.! conduct of each congressman
we opine investigations would .sudden
ly become unpopular and CongiesU
would get to work.
The reopening of the Seward radio
station will prove a great convenience
to ou; citizens, who have been forced
to pay high tolls on messages sent by
way of Cordova.
Seward will welcome the excursion
from Anchorage, to see the fliers, and
will reciprocate later in the season.
Only Ten Corpses Not Located In Big
Utah Coal Mine
CASTLE GATE, Ut., Mar. 26—Ex
ploration last night of the south end
of the Utah Fuel company mine No. 2
where 173 men were entombed in the
recent disaster, resulted in the finding
of twenty-two more bodies, bringing
the total recovered up to 163,
Every part of the mine has POW
been explored and there are ten bodies
missing. Fresh crews have been call
ed to take up the work and a thorough
search of the entire mine has been
started in an effort to locate the ten
missing bodies.
Whether the ten bodies will be dis
covered in nooks and corners or wheth
er they have been burned by the vari
ous fires which have occurred in the
mine during the week cannot be ascer
tained until the crews make further
search.

IS CHOKED TO DEATH

land, an aged widow, was found today
in a shack on a lonely ranch about ten

on the ranch since the death of her
husband, a circus clown, many years
ago.

The body was found lying on the
bed, fully dressed, and a home knit
stocking was drawn tight about the
neck. Robbery was evidently the mo- j
tiv-5 of the murder, as the shack show- j
ed signs of being ransacked.
