SEWARD, ALASKA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18,
How little attention we give nowadays to a statement
like “our troops took a thousand yards of trenches” al
though that statement means the ending of several human
lives. Kach of those lives in itself looks small but to the
owners they are all the world. As the orders come to cross
over the parapet of the trench there are thousands of men
and each to himself is the greatest entity in creation. He
is living and sentient and his own existence is placed for
the time before thought of country or friends. In two min
utes he has ceased to exist in the flesh and many, many
others have also become just fleshly obstructions instead
of human beings. This is happening all the time and each
such death is a tragedy but all we hear about is the thou
sand yards of trenches.
A Norwegian forestry official has arrived in Alaska
to get some of the territory’s timber for transplanting to
Norwav. The intention is to reforest some of the Nor
%
wegian mountain sides and Alaska timber is supposed to
be the best for the purpose.
The Juneau Empire is another paper which reminds
Seattle papers that Seattle does not make friends in Alas
ka by interfering in Alaskan politics. Deep under the
surface there is always a feeling of jealousy in the re
lations between that citv and this territory. Alaskans feel
that Seattle is prone to take too much on itself and Seat
tle people often exhibit a feeling that is by no means
friendly. A managing editor of a Seattle daily paper was
once heard to say that Alaskans made him tired and one
who knows the Seattle feeling well knows that this ex
presses the feeling of more than one Seattleite. But the
two places can be friends and work together if Seattle
will just avoid making public its desire to be Alaska’s
director and guide.

KANSAS CITY. Sept. 12. - When
the American Bankers Association
meets in this city two weeks hence.
President Frank A. Yamierlip of the
National City Bank of New Yon; ami
other financial geniuses will discuss |
plans to teach Americana of moderate
means to save their money.
A special committee of the associa
tion has been investigating this mat
ter for more than a year and thei; re
port is saiil to contain some surprises
for Mr. Average Citizen concerning
his pennies, quarters, dimes and dol
lars.
The American people of the rank
and file, for all their aspirations to
live well, have grown qu?te frugal,
though not stingy, it is said. Still
there could he a great deal more;
money saved by the individual that
would not take away from him any of
tin* neces>ities and modest luxuries he
now enjoys, it is claimed.

Homestead.
A tract in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.

block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are

and corner on an alley. Each plot is easy to access.

table park.
