BEST THERE
Seward Most Promising
 Town in Western Alaska

Dr, John Parsons, who recently vis- tied Seward, the coast terminus of the Alaska Central railway, thinks that the most promising of any of the towns to the westward. In speaking of it he said:
 Seward is not a town as yet, except on paper, but when the railroad shall have been completed it will be one
 Work ou the railroad is progressing satisfactorily. The company has over 400 men in its employ, and its monthly pay roll is over S25,OOO. Wages range from 25 cents an hour for common labor to SO cents for skilled labor. But this Is scaut pay, in view of all the condi- tions, and some dissatisfaction is eS- pressed.
 About l2 miles of the road is con- s,ructed and the company hopes to lay 60 miles of track this year. At present they are in one of the most difficult parts of the work, just below the sum init. It is the intention of the company Co build 100 miles of roadway pext year and thus reach the great coal deposits of the interior, which is said to be of superior quality and almost iueXhausti- ble in quantity.
 As a business proposition there is little in Seward for anyone at present, and business men are waiting for some thing Co turn up. No house building is going on and it will not be until qucs. tfous of title are settled. They have a telephone system and a fine electric light plant is being installed
 'The location and tOwnsite of Seward is almost ideal. Nothing could be finer than Resurrection bay, a land locked and ice-free harbor, with deep water and ample accommodation for ship ping. The Russians used to call it .The Angel of Rest, and compared with the storm tossed sea, or the rush. f1r tides of Cook inlet, the beautiful name is we'll deserved. The towusite is quite heavily timbered, much as Skagway was in primeval times, and ! glacier stream runs through it, afford ling good water power or water sup |pIy for the greater Seward. D. c BrOwneu, a former resident of Skag way, has stsked a homestead, whict commands the headwaters of this du' mountain stream.
 The towusite was formerly claimed ! by a native woman or a woman of EuS san decent, but before the railroad
 road company commenced operation ! the present owners paid her S4OOO fol . her reliuquishment. But notwith
 stand this Precaution others have com
 forward to dispute their claim and thu title Is unsettled. It is not thought however, that adverse claims will in |terfere with the title of J. E. Ba.laine.

LOST FAITH
VaWater Wanted R form
 and Lost His Job

The recent appointment of c. l.. Vawter as deputy marshal at Uuga by George c. Perry, United States marshal for the Eagle division of the District of | Alaska, emphasizes the fact that once | in a while a man can place too much confidence in himself Mr. Nawter was at one time United States marshal at Nome, receiving his appointment
 from President Mckinley upon the recommendation of Senator Carter, of Montana. He took charge of the office at the same time A. H. Moves be- came district judge at Nome, and not withstanding all the scandal that was connected with the judicial affairs of the northern camp at that time, he SO conducted his office that he came through it all with reputation un- scratched. In fact, he was one Of the first of those 10 recognize that things were wrong and needed fixing, So impressed was he with this fact and so much confidence had he in his ability to secure the reforms the situation required that he lost his job as well as much of his faith in United States senator on account of 1t.
 When things judicial became so i'm pure at Nome that Mr. Vawter could stand it no longer, he wrote a long let ter to Senator Tom Carter, his patron saint, telling him all about things and and suggesting that he should have
 them set to rights. Mir, Nawter re- ceived no reply to bis letter beyond an | acBuowIedrment that it had been re- ceived and would receive the attention of the Montana senator. After many
 weeks, Mr. Vawter again wrote 10
 Senator Carter, with the same result. The third and fourth letters followed the first and the second, and they were no more prolific in results. MT, Naw-
 ter finally concluded that Senator Carter was not awake 10 the grave nature of the charges he made, and as
 matters at Nome were going from
 from bad to worse with lightiningltke rapidiJy, he thought to impress upon him that he was desperately in earnest,
 50 in his fifth letter he inclosed his res ignation as United States marshal tn'
 structing that it be filed unless some action was taken looking toward the
 eiectment of Moves. He stated in the letter that he did not want to be con uected withsan adm nisCration that was so rotten as was that at Nome. Thi: time Senator Carter acted, but not ir ? the manner Mir Vawter expected. He filed the resignation, which was prompt . ly accepted, and now one of the very few honest men who have been con ngcted with the administration o 8 justice in the Nome district is earning his living in a subordinate position or

 western extremity Of the Alas an pen.
