VOLUME XVIII NUMBER 276
SEWARD, ALASKA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1923
PRICE TEN CENTS
JUNEAU, Nov. 12.—Delegates to
a convention to consider drawing up a
petition to congress to separate the
Panhandle from the rest of the Terri
tory of Alaska have been chosen by
the municipalities of Juneau, Skag
way, Haines and Ketchikan.
Petersburg and Wrangeil will also
send delegates to the convention.
The Anchorage Times states that of
the twenty-two women of Anchorage
and vicinity, whose names were drawn
on the panel for the petit jury to
serve at Valdez, eleven took advan-|
tage of the law permitting exemption
because of sex.
Very few Seward women drawn on
the jury claimed exemption, although
half of the men so drawn were ex-!
cused on one ground or another.
Many officials throughout the terri
tory are trying to work up sentiment
against women jurors, for claiming
exemption but fail to tell of the large
number of men who are excused from
duty.

WRANGELL MAN GYPPED
OUT OF RARE FOX SKINS
'_
Walter Waters, of Wrangell, was
swindled out of two rare fox skins byi (
a passenger on the Alameda on her j
last trip down. ,
Waters has a curio store at Wran- j
gell and sometimes sells furs. When ,
the Alameda was southbound, so the
story goes, he had two fine fox skins' (
for sale. For one of them he asked'
$225 and for the other, 7125. An Axa
meda passenger was much interested
in the skins and finally induced Mr.1 .
Waters to accept what purported to be ]
a certified check on the “National
Army Bank of Camp Lewis’’ for $275
in exchange for them.
Mr. Waters discovered by telegraph ‘
ing that there was no such bank and
the authorities were notified at Seat
tie. The wires were crowded and the
message delayed and the thief got off
the boat without detection *
The name of the fur buyer did not 1
( appear on the passeuger list when an 1
investigation was made and apparent
ly was a fictitious one.
And thus civilization has come to
the Northland.
listen:
Everybody is doing it now! What?
The Turkey Trot to Dryden’s Grocery. 1
Why? Because the prices are right; '
the more sales, the lower the prices; 1
his stock is small and fresh on every ]
boat. Service day or night. 1

\\ ASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—From the
seclusion of his home Saturday night
former President Wilson broadcasted
the report that he has not altered his
convictions that American isolation
from Europe is shameful, and that it
j is America’s duty to lead the world to
peace.
“France and Italy,” said the former
president, “have made waste paper of
the treaty of Versailles.”
“Cowardly and dishonorable” were
the words which Wilson used in
speaking of his contempt of the lor
eign policy America has pursued in
the late war.
■ “The United States,” he said, “has
turned its back upon the world in a
shameful manner, withdrawing into a
sullen and shameful isolation, which
is deeply ignoble because manifestly
dishonorable.”
President Coolidge and W. G. Mc
Adoo were both interested listeners
in, the former from the White House.
Delivers Second Address
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—From his
doorstep Mr. Wilson delivered another
I address this afternoon to thousands on
a pilgrimage to his home. He said in
part: “I wish you would transfer
your homage from me to the men who
made the armistice possible. I am not
of those who have the least anxiety
about the triumph of the principles I
have stood for. I have seen fools re
sist Providence before, and I have
seen their destruction, as destruction
will come upon these again. Utter
destruction and contempt will prevail
as surely as that God reigns.’’
Twice Mr. Wilson gave way to his
emotion.
