The fame of tee Seward city council is spreading far and wide. Erom
several sourct s c«*rm tno-t uni avorahte comment on some of the actions of our
city fathers am! hi *j«• e* -« u-c. foj the sake of the reputation of ourselves as
intelligent voter-, it i- ivcivttuhle. The following «s taken from the May 2Hth
issue ol the Doug Lis New-, a paper width invariably shows a keen common
sense in its editorial and new - columns:
’The common conned ot the prosperous town of Seward has decided that
it is not necessary to p: •:;{ ot - in the local paper, nor any other paper
for that matter, but hi r ft : < they will -imply be posted in three conspicu
ous places, wheie tin* people uui the horses and the mules and donkeys will
have an equal chance at thorn. 1 i this respect the Seward fathers are on a
par v\ith ih* Mask i legislature. It may be from a spirit of economy, or it
may he thought h thr b» keep the people in ignorance. If through this
same ignorance the people fat! into sin. the lawyers are always waiting for
suckers. Of coin -e w k,;.e tin do not that the legislature was ashamed of

he several rea* its for tk.it. V» know a case where a preacher whose con
gregation had deserted him thought to attract attention to himself and his
crude and -elf h notion- Hy wriim. hi- ideas on hoards, but only succeeded

The Seward council may just a- .» II learn its H --on now as at some future
time. The people of VI..-k ’. .id the newspapers and obey the laws, hut pay
tittle or no attention a ,d- a- am! thing- found on Hoards and posts. and they
know pretty well what they are about, too.”

COWBOYS RIDE INTO
SAVOY DINING ROOM.
—
SEATTLE.—Two cowboys attired
in the garb of the range and riding
spirited ponies, provided a sensation
al feature last evening in the dining
room of the Savoy hotel during the
progress of a banquet given by Alas
kans in honor of Mr. and Mrs. 1*rank
Manley of Iditarod. who are to de
part for the North Monday. The row
hoys galloped through the hotel cor
ridor and the length of the dining
room, bringing up at the speakers*
table with a great clattering of hoofs.
Mrs. Manley, herself an experienced
horsewoman, not to be outdone by
mere man, exorcised her prerogative
as guest of honor and commanded
one of the “punchers” to relinquish
his animal to her. Her request com
plied with, she mounted and rode the
horse out into the lobby to the ac
companiment of cheers from her I el
low diners.
The dinner was the idea of Mr. and
Mrs. R. E. Nixon, and the guests were
members of the Alaskans. Among
those present were: Mr. and Mrs. J. J.
Price. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lockhart,
Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Stanley, Barney
McGee, Mrs. J. L. Bigtow, Judge and
Mrs. W. A. Gilmore, Mr C. M. Mattice
Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Norton, Miss
Lorette Moore, Jack Irwin, James Mc

Childs, Ben Herr. C. M. Williams,
Miss H. V. Handy, H. W. Moulton, T.
