SEES MANY IMMIGRANTS
Magazine Publisher Looks for Big
Tide From Europe After War.

SEATTLE, July 23.-That with
the close of the war countless thou
sands of European immigrants will
come to this country and that 80 per
cent of them will seek the Pacific
Northwest by way of the Panama
canal, is the belief of Col. John A.
Schleicher, one of the best known
magazine publishers of this country.
In an interview in Seattle a few
days ago he said in part:
people in the Western country
have not the slightest conception Of
the great tide of immigration Of
middle-aged people that will food
this country when the war is over.
Most of it I have been informed by
our foreign correspondents who are
in touch with transportation men will
be booked through the Panaam canal.
"This Western country and Alaska
both have possibilities of wonderful
development, especially in the manu-
facture of nitrates from it's latent
water powers. The three Pacific
Coast states have the richest agricul-
tural land in America. This is self
sustaining country. These three
states alone could grow all of the
food necessary to feed the entire ma
ton. They will become the paradise
of the European immigrant, who car
ries baskets of earth into crannies in
the rocks to make his vines grow"
Colonel Schleicher believes that
businss in the United States gener-
ally is from Is to 20 per cent better
than a year ago.

bushels with continued favorable
weather conditions, which is about
250,0O0,O00 bushels in excess of

A few are there to invest in the town and grow up with it. I would like to issue a warning to laboring men ito stay away from Seward, at least for the present year.

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, JUNE 2, 1915.

Being so far removed from all con tact with the reality, it is still difficult for many people to realize that the most powerful nations on the globe are engaged in the most monumental international struggle in the history of the world and that approximately twenty million men are locked in the grip of the most terrible of all human plagues-war. And it is still more difficult to realize that the great bulk of the men engaged in the mammoth struggle are those from the common walks of life-mechanics, clerks, la borers, business men, men such as we are accustomed to meet in the ordi- nary every day round of our own af- fairs and are ordinarily about as far removed from the general conception of the brass buttoned and epauletted soldier as can well be imagined. There is nothing of the professional soldier about them and except for the little insight acquired through their pre- vious military training, having, in most cases, not the faintest conception of what war actually is until they were called upon to face it's horrors. And 1t is addedy difficult for many people to grasp the idea that along the far ex- tended battle lines almost constant fighting of some description is going on at all times, daily, hourly, and that dozens, perhaps hundreds, are perish ing while we read our paper or eat our lunch And this, not as in the strug- battles usually decided campaign, is going on continually. Here is no gathering of the phalanxes, no mar shaling of the hosts in serried ranks ready to hurl themselves in cloud-like batallions on the massed legiOns of the foe. Here the struggle is to keep con- cealed from the almost continual rain of death from the artillery between the intervals of active assault, when
 the opposing lines rush from their trenches n furious charges, hoping to reach the enemy before the answering storm of shot sweeps them into obli
 yion. Here is struggle wherein one may be killed or maimed without even catching a sight of the foe with whom one is fighting, as has indeed been the case in several recorded instances
 Although all very real and very terri ble it is still difficult to realize that it can be so. So disturbing has the awful conflict been to our conceptions that it is indeed hard to grasp the fact
 that men are being slaughtered by thousands just beyond our ken. but the brief war reports and the lengthy casualty lists disclose painfully enough

That Commissioner Thomas W. Hanmore, of Iliamna. committed sui eide recently is conveyed by letter to the Seward Gateway. This letter was written on the day following the find ing of the body, but did not arrive until the Santa Ana brought the mail. It was written by Fred J. Roehl. Ac- cordng to the writer the commissioner left a note telling that he was losing his sight and not wishing to become a burden on others, he had decided to take his life. He also stated in that note that he left his position and per Sonal notes to a party to whom he owed something. He took stock of all the governments property. The body was found in a chair at 10 o'clock on the morning of January 30 by Alex. Flynn. who went to the commissioners house to have a tooth pulled by that official. Hanmore was well known all lover Alaska, of which he had been a rr rsident for many years.
