SEWARD LOTS
 ID PAY TAXES
OFFICIAL MINDS EXERCISED ON THIS PHASE OF GOVERN
 MENT AUCTION SALES.

The official mind is now exercised as to how the purchasers of lots on the government tract next month will be compelled to pay their share of the taxes for the support of the muni- cipality before full payment is made for their lots and the deeds secured. As stated in the Gateway yesterday, lots in the government tract will be sold on a fifty per cent payment in cash and the remaining half in one year, and as the deeds cannot be give', until the final payment is made the lots will remain in the possession of the government and no taxes can be collected. Mir. Christensen is appar- ently not yet able to decide how this question is to be got around but it is now being looked into, the intention evidently being to manage some way by which the purchasers of lots will pay their share towards the city ex- penses.

SEWARD TO PARADE
 FOR PREPAREDNESS

To get Alaska on record as a part ner in the nationwide campaign for preparedness the city of Seward, the terminal of the United States govern ment railroad, will hold as one of the chief features of the Fourth of July celebrations monster parade to ex- press the opinion of the people of AL aska in favor of being ready for all eventualities, and particularly for any possible attempt that might ever be made to wrest from the United States a territory of such vast strategical importance as this.
 It is proposed that all the people, school children as we'll as adults, take part in this manner of expressing the opinion of the people of the territory Recent exchanges from the outside show that William Howard Taft and other representative people who have given thought to the subject have voiced the feeling that Alaska is of the utmost strategical, as we'll as ma terial, importance to the nation. On the navy, particularly, will depend the future history of Alaska and the people of Seward have come to the conclusion that the most effective manner of expressing the general opinion is to have the voice of Al aska itself speak forth. Therefore during the Fourth of July celebration this year will the sentiments of Seward, the gateway to the vast AL aska coal fields, be expressed in a manner that will show the whole country that Alaskans are alive to the pressing needs.

 the admiralty last night Several bodies from the Hamp shire are being brought to the towns near where the dS aser occurred and amongst them has been found the body of Lieutenant Colonel Fitzgerald, private military secretary to Lord Kitchener Although the censor has gven no details yet of the occurrence it is made evident
 that the first story is the correct One that that no ships was in sight when the Hampshire went down. There still the most peculiar recense on the part of the autho
 ties regarding the event notwithstanding the fact that the whole empire is talking of it. It is stated in the news Daper that at least score of vessels out looking for the body of Kitchener himself So far no official com muncation has been issued by the German government

WiIdflOwer Dance
 Saturday Evening

On next Saturday, tomorrow, even ing will take place one of the pret- tiest dances in Stewards social records. The idea has been hit upon to make this dance a celebration of the coming of Summer and each per son attending is requested if possible to wear some of the many kinds of wildAowers that grow around the city. It is by no means necessary that one should wear flowers but a white mark will be placed in front of the names of those who do wear them. If a flower cannot be easily se- cured a blossom or twig of any kind will save one from receiving a black mark, but real flower would be more welcome and as many as possi- ble of them. The dance will be a sort of Summer Carnival which no one should miss.

CORRINGE DEFENDED

LONDON, June g. - In the debate in the house Of commons this afternoon strong defence of General Cor rnge was made by Bonar Law and other Conservatives

HOMESTEADER a MAY SELL PART
NEW DECISION OF COMMISSION- FIR OF LAND OFFICE MAY
 AFFECT SEWARD.

It is now stated by Andrew Christ ensen of the land department that homesteader may relinQuisb to the government part of the homestead that he has been unable to cultivate. A statement has been given out by Mr. Christensen regarding a recent ruling of the commissioner of the land office which says that a home steader may reIinquish part of tho land flor a consideration" but no other enlightenment is gwen as to the consideration" or its value or any thing else, but it Is likely that dOcu- ments have been published giving the details. The following is the state ment handed to the Gateway by Mr. Christensen today:
 "A decision rendered by Commission CT Clay Tallman of the General Land Office, on May 16, 1916, is of import ance to homesteaders in Alaska. Nearly all homesteaders have located 32O acres of land, and the law requires that at least one-eighth, or forty acres must be in cultivation at the end Of the third year. It is a we'll known fact that as a general proposition it is an utter impossibility for home steaders to cultivate this area within the time allowed by law For this reason there is danger of some of the homssteaders losing their claims.
 "The decision of the Commissioner holds that a homesteader may reIin- quish to the United States any DOT tion of his homestead for a considera- ton; that is to say, he may sell any portion of his homestead, which will not affect the part retained by him. This will enable them to raise money with which to develope the land they retain. The decision is very import and not only to the homesteader, but also to the development of the agri- cultural resources tributary to the railroad, because it will enable two or more homesteaders to locate where now there is but one, thus increasing the settlement and bringing about an early development of the farming lands"

songs were enjoyed by all. The fol-
lowing subjects were ably discussed:
"How to teach child to read and
what should be found in his library

sion arose as to "How." 1t was shown
that knowing the alphabet is no hand

should learn the alphabet and be able
to read before going to school in rural
districts. The word method was ap.
proved of by some. Such books as
