SEWARD. ALASKA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER l. 1916.

The Fates have surely been rather cruel to the people who have been living on the beach, For years many of them have lived there and have made real little homes They were close to the water that gave them fish and drift wood They waiting for the glorious day when Sew ard arose from her sleep and brought them prosperity They were waiting for the day when the government of the United States would choose Seward as he terminal of the great Alaska railroad and bring them within sight of the Promised Land of milk and honey. They waited and waited and waited and eked living as best they could and they waited and waited-for what?-to be told to getael out O there.
 The railroad must be built Even the spur the hill must be built because eventually coal road must run along the bluff to Naval Point and the SQuattels on the beach must move But surely the government which IS doing so much to aid Alaska might do something to aid some poor Alaska families by now giving them bits of land on which to place their cabins There are some lots out on the Ter minal Tract that will never be of much service in supply ing the United States with funds for great navy. There are some of those lots that will be bought by possible spec ulaors for the price of suit of clothes The nation would not lose and Alaska would not lose if the families busted from the beach cabins were given such lots The policy of the government ought to be to retain along the railroad all the people and secure more not drive away those who have been here for years and are here yet

Commencement For
Industrial Graduates
Under Way at A. c.

An address by Frederick c. Howe.
United States commissioner of immi-
grafton, and a sacred concert, Sunday
afternoon at the agricultural college
armory, was the first feature for the
twelfth annual industrial course COM
mencement at the college.
The class day exercises are under
way this afternoon, an indoor field
meet takes place late this afternoon,
and this evening the commencement
dinner, coupled with the presentation
Of certificates, at commencement
exercises at O'Clock in the Little
Country theatre, will take place.
Mr.. Howe yesterday dealt with the
question of immigration. He said:
''We are all immigrants; it's just a
matter of how far we are removed
from the old sod. There is a great
hotel on Ellis Island, where a thousand
sleep at night, and normally there
pass through 10000 peole a day,
including whose who are detained,
yet in the history of the island, there
never had been a policeman's station
there.
1--WE admitted about 500 women
that we couldn't send back, who were
technically bad people, but they were
all provided with work. and there have
been complaints against only six OF
them.

DID The
BRITISH
SINK The
TUBANTIA?

Berlin, March 20.-"The Cologne
Volkszeitung reports several creditable
witnesses said that before and after the
sinking Of the Dutch steamship Tub
anita, British submarine was observ-
ed near the Noord Hinder light ship"
says the Overseas News agency. There
is good reason to believe British sub
marine sank the Tubantia."
Count Won Reventlow in Tages Zeit-
ung also expresses a suspicion that a
British submarine sank the Tubantia,
particularly in view of the statements
Of the officers of the vessel that they
observed the course of the torpedo. He
says that in a similar case previously
there were indications that British
submarines destroyed neutral steam
ers, while the press at the same time
was spreading reports that German
submarines were responsible, thus
creating i'll feeling against Germany In
neutral countries"
The British government, however,
has formally denied there is any
ground whatever for the conjecture
