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. Make a little extra money and place your community before the world. ATLANTA, Ga., May 26.—Atlanta police have inaugurated a Georgia j State Singing Convention, as an out- j growth of their city singing class.
