A COMMENDABLE ENTERPRISE
Residents of Seward will meet to
morrow at the Bank of Seward corner
and go in a body to the cemetery for
the purpose of clearing up the ceme
tery of old grass and debris. While
the Sabbath Day should be more fit
tingly kept, it is a worthy deed, and
one that can hardly be done any oth
er day in the week, owing to the lack
of opportunity by merchants and bus
iness men no get away from their
work. The Silent City should be kept
clean and net, and it is up to the com
munity to see that it is done.
The women of the Legion auxiliary
will furnish coffee and a light lunch
for the workers, and will be on hand
to see that they work. No drones
will be allowed. Therefore pun on
your old clothes and bring rake and
hoe and repair to the cemetery. You
will feel more like attending the Un
ion Memorial service in the evening.
STANDARD OIL COMING.
After practically two years of un
swerving effort, the local Chamber of
Commerce, in co-operation with Dele
gate Sutherland, has prevailed upon
the Standard Oil company to build
tanks at Seward. Word was received
here yesterday that the construction
steamer, now at Sitka, would be in
SewTard by the first week in June, and
there is no longer any doubt that this
company has decided upon erecting
tafiks here. Lumber and supplies
have been ordered, and the Resurrec
tion Bay Lumber Company has beer
requested to give the company infor
mation as to what lumber can be se
cured here.
The entrance of the Standard Oi
Company to Seward means more t<
the town and surrounding countr:
than is conceived at first thought. I
means that the bay will be a haven
for government vessels, which will
call in here for oil. Fishing boats and
other craft will purchase their sup
plies here while replenishing their oil
supply. Tank cars and railway spuis
will be needed to convey oil to the
Tanana and Yukon river fleet. The
price of fuel oil and gasoline will be
cheapened nearly one-half, allowing
more boats to be operated at a cheap
er cost. And last, but not least, the
Standard Oil company never locates
in a town whose future is uncertain.
The compliment paid is an index of
their faitth in Seward.
We want a good correspondent at
Hope, Girdwood, Sunrise and Mile 52.

ATLANTA, Ga., May 26.—Atlanta
police have inaugurated a Georgia j
State Singing Convention, as an out- j
growth of their city singing class.

allowed their aspirations to center on
harmony. Every Sunday afternoon
they assembled and sang hymns and
patriot songs.
Officers of other cities were at
tracted and now October 12, 13 and
14 have been selected as the dates
for a convention at which prizes will
be offered to the cop with the most
I syncopated harmonies.

CHICAGO, May 26.—Young man.
come to Chicago. Here is the newest
and greatest land of opportunity. And
wkh each passing day, opportunity in
creases.
This is the tip passed on by Prof.
J. Paul Goode, professor of geography
at the University of Chicago, the
world’s greatest cartographer and gold
medalist of the National Geographic
Society. Looking into the future of
the world, a metropolis of size un
known in the world today. Chicago,
he says is the City o> Destiny, and it
stands upon the Uiresuold of its great
ness.
To Be Great Port.
Ten years hence Ur. Goode sots a
city w’here ships from every land in
the world dot a majori3 harbor. Great
as it is today, Dr Goode asserts it is
cscarcely beyond the embryonic pe
riod.
Fifty years lienee ten millions will j
make their homes here. The city Hmj
its wil lbe extended lor miles m t\
ery direction. The now taiuuus 1 oe*»
will have been abolished. Each cor
ner in the heart of the present busi
ness district will vie with Stale ana
Madison as the world’s busiest street.
Surface lines will have been convert
ed into subways. Local elevated lines
will have two east and west lines
meeting (two north and south ones in
place of the present loop system.
Discussing the future ot Chicago Dr.
Goode said, in part:
‘‘I see Chicago as the greatest city
of opportunity in the world. With her
extraordinary location in the center oi j
a rich plain, her strategic position a;
the end of a great waterway, soon to!
be connected with the sea, and with
the proximity oi great mineral depos
its, as well as forests ana farming, ■
Chicago cannot help out become m a
short time the great commercial cen
ter oi the earth. She win surpass
London ana New York.
AND YET HE IS A MERE MAN
SUPPOSED TO HAVE AVER
AGE INTELLIGENCE
AKRON, O., May 26.—Never di#nk
i liquor, never smoked, never chewed
i tobacco or attended immodest shows,
j That’s the life record of Mike Cum
mins of Akron, Ohio. When he was
eight years old he was confirmed in
St. Vincent’s Catholic church by his
bishop, who was a moral radical. That
was 57 years ago. The bishop per
suaded the class to join (the Catholic
Total Abstinence Union. Cummins
was pledged to do certain things un
til he was 21; he got the habit and it
stuck. But, oh, boy the fun he has
| missed.
RUTABAGA BEARS CHOP
OP PINE IRISH SPUDS
ABBEVILLE, S. C., May 26.—It
happens every year, some queer mis
mating of vegetables. The result is
quite in contrast to the bright and
I optimistic characteristics in the seed
catalogs. This time Mrs. Alpha G.
Gibbons, county home demonstration
agent, has found a large sized purple
rutabaga turnip with 76 small Irish
potatoes growing from its roots. The
count is official.

NORTH BAY, Minn., May 24.—Lee
Rogers, a youth, escaped toward the
north woods after wounding a consta
ble and killing another man in court
Wednesday where he was held on a
charge of carrying concealed wea
pons. Rogers escaped by cowing the
crowd with an imitation revolver made
of paper. He was surrounded in a
barn where he shot the constable and
escaped, then killed Fred Lelebre
from across the street.
SEATTLE COOK GUILTY
FIT OF
SEATTLE, May 21.—Kakuzo Yanai,
a cook, was convicted of murder in
less than two hours by a jury in the
superior court which recommended
the death penalty. Yanai shot and
killed Fred Kanazawa, a pool room
proprietor, in a quarrel over the
charge for a game of pool.
