SEWARD
Will BE
END OF
j. S. RY.

WASHINGTONN, March 25.--
1t became known today that the
tidewater terminal of the gov
ernment's railroad in Alaska will
be Seward, the present terminal
o fthe Alaska Northern railroad.
The purchase of the terminal
will probably be one of the first
steps taken In the enterprise.
NNo formal announcement of
the route will be made until the
present Is ready. IL route from
Seward to the interior is followed
1t means the elimination of the
Copper River railroad as a posi-
bility of being part Of the pro-
posed government road, despite
the fact that the Inorganic uggen-
helm interests have. attempted to
sell 1t to the government. 1t also
eliminates Valdez as a probable
seaport for the line.
Continuation of the Alaska
Northern road necessarily would
be through the Susitna valley and
would probably mean that Fair
banks would not be the other ter
minal. The line is expected to
end at the Tanana river, several
miles below Fairbanks.

FRIEND CITIZEN, YOU
HAVE A DUTY TODAY

With the filing of referendum petitions yester
day by Miss Lucy r. Case, secretary of the Wash
ington Referendum league with the secretary OF
state at Olympia, the first fight of the people Of
the state against the legislative bosses and manipu
lators was begun.
Her action is to a large degree test of the met
tie of the people of this statea test to If they
are fit for sef-government
1t isn't only that the acts vicious and danger
GUS to the rights of the people, although their
character surely is enough to warrant such
course.
BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THE
PEOPLE OF THE STATE EVER HAVE AT
TEMPTED THE REFERENDUM!
This is the first time the people Of the state have
had chance to look over the work of their legis-
lators, then to approve or disapprove 1t.
THEY CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT LET THIS
OPPORTUNITY GO BY.
If they stand for the laws which this legislature
has passed to tighten the cinch of the street-car
monoposts; II they stand for the laws aimed
against labor II they stand to their very inita-
tive and referendum rights wiped out by lot OF
political gangsters, herded in caucuses and voted

have been noted for laying

mated with a cockerel Of the same
type, her daughters and grand
daughters uphold the strain.

things about Hungry LIZ Is
that she Is also q good show

THE CALL OF THE NEW YEAR

Christian man sat in the Masters presence
thinking Of the coming Of the new year. 1t was
a good but solemn thing to do. The mans
thoughts in that presence ran thus: Seeing him
am sure that every year is the year of our
Lord It ought to be begun, continued and
ended in him. He will be with me all the days.
My days must be in his hands," The Christian
man continued his meditation-always in his pres
ence. what sort Of man ought l to be. this year
and all years." The answer came out of an old
word which had new meaning. in his presence:
Complete In him." Again he asked: what kind
Of work ought l to do this year and all years?"
The centuries fade away and he seems to hear
again: Whatsoever he saith unto you do it." He
asked again: Where shall 60 to be his man and
do his work." Once more old words leap into
new times: ITO your household, to your neighbor.
and to all the world" "How can l do all this ?"
"The entrance of his word giveth light" therefore
give yourself to Bible study; mot by might nor
by power but by my Spirit. saith the Lord Of
hosts" therefore give yourself to prayer: Il can
do all things through Christ" therefore give your
self to work. in all things he shall have the pre-
eminence," therefore give yourself to him. And
the man arose from the meditation to make the
new year and all years. years of the Lord. And
the Master arose and went with the man.-Bishop
Mcdowell.
