A DEADLY MENACE
Citizens of Seward today might well
exclaim, in regard to the tire at Ketch
ikan. “There but for the grace of God.
burns Seward.” Conditions in town
are not ot the best, a trip through the j
alleys in the rear of the business i
houses, showing that if fire once start- ;
t d the business part of the town j
would quickly be destroyed. Many of
the buildings are veritable firetraps,
with sheet iron flues, old boxes and
debris ol every kind in promiscuous
contusion. Unless some action is tak
en to regulate the kind and style of
flues used and the kind of fuel burned,
it is only by the sheerest luck that an
extensive conflagration will be avert
ed. The district, from Railroad avenue
to Adams street, between Third and
Fifth should be made a fire district,
and every possible preventive used to
insure immunity. At this time a seri
ous tire in Seward, while it would clean
out several unsightly structures, would
give the town a set-back that would
require years to overcome.
Valdez had two costly tires, and the
one at Ketchikan today shows that no
community is immune from the rav
ages of this dread enemy.
The reopening of the sawmill Mon
day under new management marks an
epoch in the industrial life of Seward.
For many years this mill, and the one
at Mile 3'/2 have given employment to
nearly fiftc persons, and have turned
out several hundred thousand dollars
worth of lumber for local use and for
the Alaska railroad. Many families
in the past have looked to one or the
other of these mills for their livelihood
and while employing hut half a hun
dred men they have been of material
assistance in helping finance our pop
ulation thru dull and troublous times.
Under the new ov.'jjer the local mill
will be greatly enlarged, jyjth new ma
chinery and a greater output.

INVENTS WORLD’S GREATEST
SUBMARINE
Prof. Oswald Fiamm, a German sub
mersion specialist, who hai invented a
submarine cruiser of more than 7,000
ton,. A big successful model exists. It
has been learned that the British, Ital
ian and French governments are inter
jested in this invention. Prof. Hamm
occupies the chair of Theory and Con
struction of Ships in Charlottenburg
Technische Hochschule, and he has de
veloped the submersion principle for
the construction of a submarine mine
layer capable of handling 100 mines
whereby it could block any port. The
new giant submarine can submerge or
travel under water without fear of the
lack of stability.
mission, while not unexpected by lo
; cal citizens, is a great loss to Alaska.
! Col. Gctwals was one of the best ot
| the many Road Commission engineers
land under his direction the roads and
11rails of Alaska came nearer perfec
[ 1 ton than at any time since the Doard
1 assumed charge in Alaska. Colonel
Gotwals was too progressive for the
Territory, where every man is a rail
road builder and a judge of good roads
and trails, but despite this drawback
he left his works to tell of his worth.
Col. Gotwals personally inspected ev
ery road and trail in Alaska, making
long trips by dog-team in order to get
first-hand necessary information on
his work. It is unfortunate that just
as a man familiarizes himself with
conditions in Alaska, he is removed or
some organization or community sets
out to get his scalp.
The show at the Liberty Theatre to
night under the auspices of the Junior
Red Cross, should be witnessed by ev
ery citizen. The organization is one
that is deserving and should be en
couraged by a full attendance.
