WELCOME TO SEWARD
Seward citizens will welcome the arrival of Captain
George Hubert Wilkins, head of the Polar Expedition,
and Major Thomas G. Lanphier, commander of the Sel
fridge Flying Field. Other members of the party are also
extended the glad hand.
Already one American has reached that point mark
ed on the maps as 90 degrees north latitude, but no human
being has visited that vast district of Polar ice north of
this territory. What great secret this enormous region
holds can only be given to conjecture. It is confidently
expected that the Wilkins’ party, veterans all, will find
a land mass never before seen by man. That it should
be claimed by the United States goes without saying.
Intensely practical persons perhaps will raise the
moot question whether it is worth while to lay bare the
secret of the Arctic Ocean. They may ask whether it is
worth while risking human life to solve the riddle of the
North.
The answer must be that of the true explorer, such
as Captain Wilkins is, so long as any spot on the globe re
mains unexplored it will be a constant challenge to hu
manity. Man cannot assert dominion over all the earth
until he has visited its outposts. Whether immediate
use can be made of new land masses need not be consid
ered at present. Eventually man will find ways of sub
duing it and wresting from it a store of natural wealth.
The businesslike way in which the Wilkins party has
proceeded gives rise to the hope that they will succeed.
They have the good wishes of not only the citizens of Sew
ard but that of every American citizen.
Alaska continues to be held up in the limelight for
Senator Copeland, Democrat of New York, told the Sen
ate recently that the Republican Party should change
its emblem, and suggests the elephant emblem be dis
carded, and the Polar bear used instead.
The roaring exhausts from airplanes will soon be
echoing midst the barren lands of the far Interior with
the arrival in Seward today of the two big Fokker planes
for the Wilkins’ party. The Interior country is truly the
last frontier in America and there are yet, many resi
dents of those far away districts, who have to view their
first aircraft.
The thing done avails, and not what is said about it.
—Emerson.

SECOND GAMEBY

ANCHORAGE GIRLS TAKE HARD
FOUGHT GAME LAST NITE—
SCORE STOOD 8 TO 6.
DECIDING GAME AT CLUB TONITE
Fans Root for Visitors; Fast Game
Fought Furiously To Finish
Anchorage evened up the local bas
ketball series last night when they,
won the second game by the score of
S to 6 from Miss Bevier’s quintette.
The first half ended in a shut-out for
the locals, the Inlet cage artists run
ning up six points on them. The third
quarter Seward made a basket, and
a few minutes prior to the final blast
in the fourth and last, they shoved
two more field goals'across the hoop.
The way they were playing it is quite
possible the Seward girls would have
tied the score in another moment or
so but they got “started too late.”
Anchorage entered the game with a
punch, riding the ball at all moments,
and during the first half kept the ball
in the enemy’s territory. Both teams
fought all over the floor, Referee Mc
Ewan permitting more leniency than
in the game previously played. The
game was rough and one time Welch
was inadvertently jabbed in the eye.
The plucky little star was back in
the game in short order. Welch and
Nichols once more starred for their
team, with Allenbaugh, Diamond and
Teeiand supporting them in able man
ner.
For the locals, Cecil Leslie once
again was point getter for her team
mates. Elsa Larrsen came thru with
a cage shot and was extending every
effort to tie the score when the game
ended. The fact was commented
upon among the spectators that the
Seward team did not play the game
with the pep displayed the night pre
vious whereas the opposition were de
termined to win. Diminutive ‘Bert”
McIntosh once again made a hit with
the fans by her vigorous playing.
Twice she broke away from her guard
and hopped the ball the length of the
floor. One lost count of the number
of times she was silled on the floor.
Sigrid Rosness played well in the
first half with Seward but was re
placed by Clara Manthey in the latter
half. On a personal foul on Welch in
the first quarter, Neville got a free
shot from the foul line but missed.
During this quarter Welch made a
field throw. In the second quarter
Teeland scored a fine field basket as
also did Nichols. Anchorage made

thirteen shots at the cage the first
half against Seward’s nine, including
otoe foul shot. t
Manthey missed a foul line throw at
the opening stanza of the third quar
ter. Leslie, with a player hanging
onto her arm made a splendid field
throw to the cage. With the opening
of the last frame Welch delivered her
first basket of the evening, but was
closely followed by Leslie heaving
the ball in again for two more points.
Roberta was given a foul line shot
on personal foul charged to Welch, but
missed. Larrsen run the score up to
six with her field shot. In the last
half Anchorage took seven shots at
the basket and Seward fifteen.
Once again the gymnasium was pack-;
ed with spectators who this time brot
whistles and cow bells with them
judging from the tone of the rootin’,
the Inlet team had many ardent sup
porters. |
The final game will be played off
tonight and should be a humdinger as
it will be the deciding game of the se
ries.
