sEWARD's TRIBUTARY AREA

Cumulative testimony strengthening Stewards claim that it is the seaport of vast expanse ofAlaska'S interior is added by the arrival of a miner from the Kuskokwim district with news of a remarkable gold strike, who came to Seward because it was practically the only port in Alaska accessible from that region during the close of nayiga- tion on Cook inlet and west of the peninsula.
 Equally important evidence Is the fact that the POO miners in the region surrounding the new strike in asking for a post office designate Seward as the seaport from which mail should be carried The man who brought out the news of the strike and the petition for the post office states that he can "mush" in winter from the chief station of the new district Co Enik in five days. The mail carrier last win ter made Kuik from the end of the railroad track in three days and when Che railroad reaches Knik, as it is eX- pectcd to do next year trains will run ro that place in little more than half a day.
 While heavy freight for che Eusko- kwim district will be carried up the river fn summer the winter travel must be by way of Seward, coming from Kuik over the railroad. There i, no other connection with an open port
 With che railroad Co the head of Cook inlet, the Euskokwim and the Panama, as we'll as the SusitUa and the Neuua, will be within easy reach of Seward, and all but the Panama are tributary now.

ARTHUR MeEWEN DEAD

By the death of Arthur McEwen the newspaper world loses one of it's eX- traordinary figures. His style of writ ing was unique in it's fOrcetul sim plicity, free from literary afTectation and Hawless in construction. It carried a tinge of cynical humor that gave it spice,
 Although he had a style peculiarly his own McEwen possessed a yerSatil- ity that enabled him to vary it. When Frank NJ. Pixley, the famous editor of the Argonaut, failed mentally Me- Even took his place and for year wrote editorials which were supposed to be Pixley's own until the secret was divulged after Pixley'S death by the few who knew it.
 McEwen was the ableSt as we'll as the most honest of the Hearst forces. His personal independence caused him to leave Hearst several times but the yellow millionaire always bid for his services again. During one of his va cations from the Hearst employ he was editor of the Philadelphia North American for a year.
 On the Pacific coast McEwen was a marked figure for many years. When boy he worked as a laborer on Gen. tral Pacific construction. He became a newspaper reporter, editor of paper in Virginia City in the Comstock boom, and then worked in turn on nearly all the leading papers of San Francisco.

Draf fling is Favored.
II would be impolitic to prevent the
major league clubs from drafting play
crs, as 1T would decrease the amount
OF capital which annually flows into
the receipts of the minor Leagues. Any
penalty which makes 1t harder to main

II the Glass a clubs were put on

between the leagues, and on the whole
the intent OF the national agreement
would be evaded to the extent that
players of Class b might be drafted

for an ocean race will be accepted by

cial nleeting'of the board OF governors

Z In all probability. the course for the
race will be from Newport around

course could be selected. as the racing
of a fleet of yachts along the course
would mean the reporting of their pro-
gress at different points. creating 4
wide interest in the struggle. a large
fleet of steam yachts undoubtedly would
accompany the racers so that their
owners and guests could enjoy the
deep sea sport.
In conjunction with the race the
Brooklyn club will endeavor to pro-
mote a Joint cruise with several OF the
Sound clubs. and have Newport the
Terminating point. after daily runs
