THEY ARE WILLING, SO PUT ’EM IN!
Not enough citizens having volunteered their servicesj
for the town council becomes necessary for us to write in
two names and vote for them by making the usual [x] mark
in the proper place. For Mayor, the Honorable L. V.
Ray has again volunteered his services. The town is to
be congratulated to have as brilliant man as Miv. Ray so
public spirited and a large property holder.
For the two-year term as councilman Mr. A. H. Tho
day has filed. Mr. Thoday is an old-time resident of Se
ward in every way fitted to make a good director of the
Town’s business. Joe Hofman has filed for the unexpir
ed term of Mr. H. B. Selby. The latter’s ambition to get
on the Territorial Legislature prevented him to seek a full
term. As to the others two members to be elected it is up
to the Voters to write their choice. We regret that Joe
Badger did not file. He has made a good councilman and
in his role as “watch dog” of the Treasury, has saved the
taxpayers a considerable amount of money. It might be'
well to write his name in and secure his watchful care for |
another two years.
Mr. Mel Holben, the popular caterer, has signified his
willingness to act as City councilman for two years. Mr.
Holben is a man who believes in Seward for we all know
that every time “Red” makes a dollar he spends it improv
ing his property. He certainly would make a good mem
ber on the council.
There are a great many more citizens who would give
good service to the rest of us in Seward but are too bash
ful to come forward. In fact voters can hardly go wrong
for we have the best little town on earth and our popula
tion is all A-l, high-grade stock.
TERRITORY OF

Office of the Governor
American Forest Week
A PROCLAMATION
By Proclamation of the President of
the United States and in conformity
with the action of Governors of the
various States, the week of April 18
to 24 inclusive, 1926, has been set
apart as “AMERICAN FOREST
WEEK” when all patriotic citizens are
asked to give thought to the forests
and unite in the common task of for
est conservation and renewal.
The President has said:
“The wise use of land is one of
the main foundations of sound
National economy; it is the cor
nerstone of Nation thrift. The
waste or misuse of natural re
sources cuts away the ground
work on which National prosper
ity is built. If we are to flourish
as a people and as individuals we
must neither wastefully hoard nor
wastefully exploit, but successful
ly employ and renew the resour
ces that Nature has entrusted to
us. America’s forest problem es
sentially is a problem involving
the wise use of the land that can
and should produce crops of tim
ber. Flourishing Avoodlands, how
ever, mean more than timber
crops, permanent industries and
an adequate supply of wood. They
minister to our need for outdoor
recreation, they preserve animal
and bird life, they protect and
beautify our hillsides and feed
our streams, they preserve the
inspiring natural environment
which contribute so much to Am
erican character.”
In the Territory of Alaska we have
large areas of virgin forests some of
which, through the protecting influ
ence of the climate which renders for
est fires almost impossible are safe
from damage by that source, but still
other large areas in the westward and
interior portion of the Territory which
ae subject to annifal destruction and
waste resulting from serious fires.
While our citizens are at all times
careful of the natural resources boun
teously placed at our command, and
never fail to soundly resent any undue
waste or destruction of either forest,
fishery or wild life, it behooves all
citizens of the Territory to guard zeal
ously the vast forests herein, to the
I end that when the time is ripe, Alas
ka may be proclaimed as one of tne
largest of timber producers and just
credit may be given to the protection
afforded through the ever watchful
' eye of our citizenry.
Therefore, a proper observance of
I “American Forest Week” with thotful
; consideration of pending and prospee
I lime problems and patriotic c opera
tion for their safe solution, is earnest
j ly enjoined upon all citizens of the
| Territory.
GIVEN under my hand and
the SEAL of the Territory of
Alaska, in Juneau, the capital,
this twenty-third day of Mar.,
in the year of our Lord one
, thousand nine hundred twen
ty-six and of the independence
of the United States of Amer
ica the one hundred and fif
tieth.
