The Sabhath in Seward

Dick Thorne has decided to give 9 nov ing picture show in the Casino next Sun day, but will live within our holy laws by refusing admission fees. During the show CT services will pass the plate, so that all devoted worshinpers can, if they so de sire chuck anything into it with the ex- ception of that old standby of the penuri- GUS pious- brass buttons The show to be given is a splendid one, for which the ad- mission fee is half a dollar on occasions when it Is presented in benighted heather lands that don't know as much about a Sunday as a COW does about holiday. The pictures to be shown will be ones repro duced at great expense from sacred his tory. This IS no irreverent remark or flip pant. The pictures will be from one of the sublime stories that form the foundation and bedrock of Christianity stories which may not be shown on Sundays in Seward if they are charged for, according to our sanctihed masters. So dearly beloved brethren, you can go to a show next Sun day with or without cx-Spence.

Bic Alaska Iron Proposition

Esch, Horn, Tomilson and others have been holding for several years large body of iron ore which they regard as the most valuable proposition On Seward peninsula. That these men are not mistaken is evi- denced by recent developments which give strong probabilities that their iron propo- sition will be taken over by very wealthy company and developed. The property was located in 1906, and is on what is known as Tub mountain, at Sinrock. It is claimed by Mr Esch that the iron Is su- perior in many respects to the famous Swedish iron, and in this he is borne out by experts who have made a thorough test of the ore which runs as high as 65 per cent pure iron. The Geological Survey sent out an expert in 1913 to Investigate the proposition by special request of Mir
 Esch It is reported that the governments geologist stated that in his opinion 1t was the greatest iron proposition in the world
 It is a manganese ore of the highest qual- ity, and there is estimated to be two mil lion tons of the ore in sight The springs

ing on the Sabbath day. Along with the early spirit of liberty of our people was coupled the spirit of Sabbath observance. And who will say they did not lay good foundation on which to raise a great nstion7 , The blue laws may have been extreme in places, i. e., man was not permitted to kiss his wife on the Sabbath; but no great harm resulted from that. It is not liberty that the present generation demands, but license to do as they please. Then we will have no law.
 Most of the world of Europe, as quoted from Rev Mir. Newman, has the kind of a Sabbath they want. Are they enjoying the fruits of it today? Who will dare say that this war is not their punishment? And many of our people are cIamoring for a European Sabbath This is the sort of black record which history writes when a nation loses religion-it loses morality, and moral decline carries loss of national power and prosperity.
 Robert Peel, the great statesman, said: : q never knew man to escape failure in either body or mind who worked seven days in a week." The Great Teacher said the Sabbath was made for man, and gave di- rections for its observance.

ON SABBATH OBSERVANCE

Editor Iditarod Pioneer:
 1 was more than interested in your edi- toral on Sabbath Observance" and the article by the Rev MT Newman on the modern Sabbath After the history of ere ation as we have it from the only source the next announcement Is day of rest The day was blessed and set apart as a holy day-not a holiday.
 It was repeated in the law from Sinai and explicit directions given as to its obL servance, with blessings to those who ob.. served it and punishment for those who did not It was the one distinct difference be- tween Israel and the idolatrous world The law of Sinai has not been abrogated and manded to keep it. It did not apply to the all believers in the Almighty God are con- heather. No sin except idolatry is threat ened with greater penalty than Sabbath breaking The law was not to make a man religious-that is not possible--or to com pei church observance; but to give him rest which he needs if he obeys the other law and works six days The worker of six days is not objecting to day of rest. Most of them are in favor of 1t. It IS the man who does nothing or worse six days and ob- jects to the restrictions of the seventh day. The people who want to serve God are not causing the trouble-but those who do not want to serve Him at all.

Wonderful invention of Juneau Man

C. J. Sullivan, a young son of Ireland, who is now employed ill the Alaska-Juneau minc near Juneau, says that he has in- vented q submarine destroyer, and that he has offered his secret to the United States government. Only last week the matter was taken up by the secretary of the navy The discovery was only recently perfected, he says, although he has been working on it for the past three months. According to the inventor, the mechanism operates from central point and will protect an entire fleet from the ravageS of the terrible sub marines It can also be used for harbor defense purposes. One peculiar feature about the invention Is that 1t does not harm the submarine; it simply kills the crew and makes the submarine helpless tenn porarily and the vessel can aftcrward be located and recovered. No explosives are used in operating the destroyer, and no ships are built for 1t to operate with. It is constructed and operated at small cost Young Sullivan WAS born in Dublin, Ire land, 23 wears ago, and is enthusiastic over his discovery. He first came to Alaska about six months ago, being at that time member of the Royal Stock Company which came on tour of Alaska. The company disbandcd and he stayed with the country For some time he worked at cleo trical mechanics, and has a fancy for that line of work. He is now working on a mechanism that will not only warn yes sels of an approaching submarine but also give the location of the terrible scourges of the sea-Juneau Empire

The con ditions are ideal for working the mine There is an abundance of coal close at hand, and lime for huXing purposes. A proposition is on foot to take this prop erty over, and already the prelin2inaries have been arranged, indicating that in the near future this property will go into the hands of one of the strongest companies in the United States, which will commence operations on a large scale. Millions of dollars will necessarily be expended on such proposition in the construction of a rlant, bunkers and railroad.

CHAPMAN WILL VOTE
AGAIN ON LIGHT BONDS

Mayor A. E. Sandborn of Chap
man, has called another special cleo
ton for July 20, to vote again on
the proposition of issuing $4,000
bonds for a municipal light plant.
The bonds were voted recently, but
because of a technical error In the
ordinance calling the election, the
encouragement advised the Chap
man officials that he believed the
election was illegal. The sale OF
the bonds would be slow.
Dickinson county towns seem to
have a hard time completing NUM-
cipal improvements The establish
ment OF Herington's fine new water
system was accompanied by a legal
battle with engineers. Solomon the
other day voted down $4,000 water
bonds. Enterprise voted bonds for
high school, but the case had to
be tested out In court before the
town was really assured that tho
vote was legal. But maybe it's all
because the Dickinson towns are so
eager to push ahead.
