(M R CLIMATE
Once more let us talk about the climate of Seward. We all know that
ten* of thousands of people outside are keeping their eyes on this part ol
Alaska and particularly on this city. To get all the information they can,
they, as we are told, naturally look for the newspaper printed here Amongst
them are many who have lived in Alaska for years.
Now, you cannot expect people to believe everything nice said in a paper
about it* own town They know that a paper ought to say and usually does say
what is best about its home town but here is one thing that the Gateway can
say about Seward with absolute confidence—the climate of Seward is far
milder than anyone who has not lived here believes.
It might be difficult to get people who have lived in other parts of Alaska
to believe that this day—the Eighth of December—is as mild as it is in any
part of the state of Washington. There is no snow on the ground. Even dur
ing the night there was no frost and the air this morning was as balmy as
springtime. At eight o’clock this morning, daybreak, the mercury in the
thermometer at the telephone central station was above freezing point—pretty
well above. Central was called up specially to find out while this was being
written, and this is not being written on any day specially selected for its
favorable temperature It is written now because of the news brought in on
yesterday’s steamer about the manner in which people outside are watching
this part cf the territory.
To those who have never been in Alaska it can only be said that
they should be careful about those yarns of death and destruction and freez
ing It is enought to tell them that not a man in Seward need wear an
overcoat on the street.
The manner in which our neighboring town of Knik. not to speak of
Seward at all. is coming to the front and increasing in population serves as an
indication of the commencement of the great strides which all this part of
Alaska is soon to make, and, indeed, has commenced making. Residents of
Knik say they cannot even understand where the people are coming from. Not
a house of any kind has been left empty over there. The agricultural ground
in the district is being taken up. The mines are operating successfully and
if the reports coming in all the time are only half righ4 there are mines to
come in the section that will surpass even the splendidly profitable ones al
ready producing. Knik has a bigger future than most of us seem to under
stand.
If this were said about Seward in this paper the consciousness of the
fact that thi* paper is published in Seward would lessen the likelihood of its
being accepted as a fact. But what is true of Knik is either true now or will
he true of all the districts in this part of Alaska. If they have not already
begun to show signs of the awakening they, like Knik, will show them so
quickly one of these day* their people will also wonder where the people are
coming from.
When prosperity comes it comes quickly.
BENCH CITIES STILL
PAYING THE GERMANS.
(By The Associated Press.)
PARIS, Dec. 7.—It is recalled that
some cities and towns of seven depart
ments of France that were occupied by
the Germans in 1870-71 are still under
the burden of debt incurred to satisfy
the requisitions of the Germans.
The ame department and many of
the same towns occupiel by Germans
during the present war have incurred
futher burdens. Since the war is wag
i ed for the protection of all the ter
ritory, a project is under consideration
j to relieve them in part by distributing
the charges over the whole territory.

A As long as the gift giving custom of the Merry Yule
Mf]|L K tide prevails there will be giving and receiving ot presents
iviunv at Christmas Time. I don’t suppose that there is a man,
woman, or child in Seward but what in the past has had
some gift w ished on them, as welcome as a flea on a hound
pups back. You have it and you can’t use it but you can’t
get rid of it. Don’t do that thing again.
There are so many things that a man wants in our
line, and articles that a man will use and enjoy and ap
preciate and they don’t cost as much as a gimcrack.
Take for instance Bathrobes. Of course no man uses
one after New' Years, hut they are a nice thing to hang
in a closet and then a w oman can w ear them w hen she has
a sick head ache. Just to till this demand a lot of them that
V A C we are going to try and get rid of by Xmas for $7.50.
I V^UI *3 Did y0U see those new’ trail vests? Say there is some
thing that is class as far as the trail is blazed out. They
come in Moleskin, Corduroy, and Fustian, are all doe skin
lined and have a knit neck and wrists with big leather
faced pockets, and there is not a man in Seward, but would
' really be tickled pink to get one from the proper party.
I a iff C Have a look before you spend, remember, and they are
\JI I lo only from $6.00 to $8.00 each.
Just to boost the give away, of something nice we have
decided to give every overcoat purchaser between now and
S the 24th a present of twenty five per cent off, on our new
stock of KENYON BALMACAANS. They are the neat
est, classiest, nobbiest warmest coats that have been seen
in Seward since the new School House was agitated and
if you want one, get it now’ Ladies sizes too. Remember
^ a $30.00 Coat Costs you $22.50.
Have you seen our new’ Socks yet. Well then you have
a treat coming. Just in some English made socks that are
nice enough to wear for a tie. They come in the late
autumn shades and are all \vool, ribbed and worth double
w hat w e charge for them simply as rheumatism insurance.
Drop in and see what we have for six bits.

Now and then, we hear people say that
they can get along without a typewriter.
Yes, we believe that. Only forty years
ago everybody got along without one.
So they did, a little further back, without the steam
engine and the railroad train. They got along
without them because there were none.
Anyone today who thinks he can get along with
out the typewriter because he can do his writing
with the pen, is like the man who thinks he doesn’t
need the railroad because he can walk. In your
method of writing you may be “walking” today.
If so, then remember that the railroad is built and —

We have built the Remington Junior on purpose
for those who have writing to do and need
a typewriter but who haven't bought one—yet.
We have built it tor
the traveler and for
the home; for the
doctor, the clergy
man, the farmer, the
retail storekeeper—
for everyone who
needs a typewriter for
the simpler uses, like manuscript and letter writing.
The price of the Remington Junior Jifty dollars,
cash with order. It is just what its name implies,
a “boiled down" Remington; smaller, lighter,
simpler and more portable, but a true Remington
in the work it does and the way it does it, and
8Sad Remington guarantee.
solutely your first chance, to buy
