Seward Buildings
 More Than Stated

It was estimated yesterday that the buildings going up in the city of Sew ard and those to be started soon would be worth more than one hundred thousand dollars when completed but after a more careful bit of thinking it is found that this estimate is ai- together too modest. As an example of what was overlooked, it may be stated that the work being done by the Seward Electric Company alone will mean an expenditure of nearly third of SlOOOOO The new building is now begun and will be an ornament and a credit to the city. It is figured that the work being done altogether by that company will cost sum be- tween $25,OOO and $SO,OOO. It is safe to say again that the total work now proceeding in the city or just about to begin, in the building line alone, will represent a sum hardly less than S2OOOOO.

NOME SHIP
 SINKS WITH CREW

SAN LOUIS OBIsPO, Calf, May 1.-The steamer Roanoke which left San Francisco on May 8 for Val paraiso foundered about one hundred miles south of San Francisco and many of her crew were drowned. The story was brought here last night by three survivors who landed here in a small boat which also contained the bodies of five of the victims of the disaster The small boat drifted ashore and the men were powcrIess to use the oars. They were reduced to frightful weakness and were partly delirious from hunger, thirst and ex- posture. They were unable to give the facts connected with the sinking of the ship or any information about the rest of the crew except that four other boats were launched before the Roanoke foundered
 The Roanoke was formerly in the Nome, Alaska, trade.

A $2,OOO,OOO MORGAN COLLECTION OF MINIATURES
 TAKEN FROM ART MUSEUM

NEW YORK, May 1.-The $2,OOO,- 900 Morgan collection of miniatures is to be withdrawn from the Metropoli- tan Museum of Art today It has been on exhibition for the last two years.
 It is a representative collection, containing, with only a few excep- tions, the work of the best miniature painters from the time the work be- came a method of independent port raiture down to the middle of the last century.
 It has been for some time feared by Mir. Morgan that too long a con- tinuous exposure to the light would result in deterioration of the cOlOrs of the miniatures.
 The collection dates back to the 18th century and was gathered to- gether by the late J. Pierpont Nor gan, over a period of many years, during which he ransacked the world fvr the little treasures.
 A miniature of Mary Queen of Scots is by an unknown artist, paint ed when the Queen was 23. It is in the original frame of carved oak with the "C. R." of Charles II. to whom it at one time belonged. There is a miniature of Phillip II. of Spain, by Issac Oliver, in a rock crystal lOcket, enameled on both sides, and among other portraits by the same artist is one of Queen Anne of Denmark, one of Sir Phillip Sidney, ana there are five miniatures of Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, one of the latest favOri- tes of Queen Elizabeth. Peter Oliver, son and pupil of Issac, is represented in the collection with a reproduction of the Marriage of St. Catherine, D supposed to be one of the copies of pictures in the royal collection at Whitehall, which he reproduced in miniature by order of Charles 1.
 Director Edward Robinson signed the statement issued from the museum announcing the withdrawal of the miniatures,

.PROGRESSVES NOT
 BENT ON ROOSEVELT

NEW YORK, May II. - That che Progressive party will not insist on the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt himself if the Republicans win name at Chicago candidate who stands for Progressive principles and is able to put them through is the statement issued by George ". Perkins today after a meeting of the executive com mittee of the Progressive National committee. Coming as it does after the meeting it is assumed that this statement is a declaration which amounts to a repudiadon of all the assertions that the Progressiyes are working merely for the benefit of Roosevelt. It is regarded as the most important political announcement for several months and it is expected to have the effect of causing 8 trimming of the sails of all the leaders of the two Republican branches for the com ing work in the convention.

DAWN OF ELECTRICAL
 ERA ON RAILROADS

The Gateway has just received a publication produced by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, which is a worthy record of the coming of electricity as the great motive power on railroads. The book is beautifully gotten up and its illustrations and written matter combine the most in- teresting and pretty facts with the great fact that electricity has become king. In the illustrations one can see the power wires strung through glorious scenery, over rugged noun tain peaks as we'll as through fertile valleys. The book is really about the best ever produced on that or any similar subject.

First July Fourth Where City of
 Seward Now Is

Now that the people of Seward are talking again of a celebration for the Fourth of July the thoughts of a few people here are turning back to the first celebration of the national holi- day in Seward. Only four persons who were here then are here yet. Quite a few others took part in that original celebration, and it was Ori- ginal in more senses than one, but all the others have gone away.
 George Phelps was one who was present. He with two others landed here thirteen years ago and George will celebrate the thirteenth annivers- ary of his arrival next month. The only other people who were here at that time and who are here still are Colonel Revell, Mrs. Revell and Fred Laubner Mir. Phelps came with his two partners from Valdez in a row boat and took six weeks to make the trip. The charts at that time were very few and poor and the journey was rather a serious undertaking but they arrived all right and went into the Kenai lake district prospecting At that time the railroad was being proposed and Fred Lauhner was here for the railroad people. Colonel Reycll was building his house on his homstead at the head of the bay. A few others were here and amongst them was a man who had brought in a stock of beer, liquor and cigars to be ready for the first start of the rail road work. Time passed and the work did not begin and around came the Fourth of July. It discovered the citizens in a tent near the beach and in that tent also was the stock of aforesaid beer, liquor and cigars, and there and then was the Fourth cele- brated for the first time in what might, perhaps, be called a safe and sane manner by a stretch of the imagination.

LADIES THANKFUL FOR

The ladies of the Hospital Helpers express, through their president, Mrs. Thomas Ward, the greatest apprecia- tion for the assistance given to make the hospital dance last Saturday so great a success, financially and soci- ally. Several ladies donated various nice things. Although all the reports have not been turned in the sum of S15O has been received up to date. The expenses were $5O.5O. The presi- dent herself, it may be said, was the moving spirit in the affair.

NEWS NOTES

A newspaper of Bremerton called the Searchlight in its issue of April 28 gives an account of visit of John F.. Ballaine and an address given by him to the Spanish American War Veterans. In speaking of Mir. Bal laine the SearchHght describes him as "a member of the Alaskan Railroad Commission"
 Bill Dewett, who has been saddled with the name of "Wild Bill" by his friends, has arrived in tbe city from the Keuai district
 Mir. and Mrs. van Campen have ar rived at Quartz creek and will return to Seward about the 21st when they will go to Green Island for hunting trip.
 Dr. Baughman and Ben Swesey will leave soon on tour of game inspec- tiOn all over the district.
 Society Item: Frank Youngs en- tertained informally at his residence last evening.
 Mayor Mye,s and Councilman TOrrey will start out next Sunday to hunt bears at Caisel creek. Three formidable brutes have recently been sighted there.
 It is rumored that a house will soon be constructed next to the Ballaine residence for William c. Edes, chair man of the Engineering Commission.
 When the Gateway reporter went to a local lawyer today, told him the cable was down and that news of some kind was very desirable the lawyer suggested copying the idea of Mark Twain when he worked on a paper in a small town and got a farmer to drive a load of hay in through every entrance to the settlement. Mark came out that afternoon with an ac- count of the rush to the local market, and showed where seventeen loads had entered "our fair city" Lieutenant Mehaffey of the Alaska Road Commission will return to Val deg on the Evans. While here he went diligently into matters connected with wagon roads in the district but an outline of what may be done will be impossible until the fate of the road appropriation asked for has been decided.
 The matter of having a wireless station placed at the entrance to Resurrection bay was brought to the attention of William c. Edes this winter at Washington and the sug- gestiOn may yet bear fruit, but a long delay is looked for. Of course, the matter is outside the province of Mir Edes altogether,

 ST. PAUL, Minn., May 1. - Beef has become dear meat and Minnesota officials would meet the situation with deer meat. W. T. Cox, state forest CT, would have Minnesota farmers raise deer to bust the beef trust. He says it would be no trouble at all to raise deer for venison. They are self supporting, grazing on even the poorest land. They rapidly increase, each doe bearing two lawns annually. They mature in half the time steers require, he says.

 The next year, when you're twenty one, you'll troop off in the summer to a military camp where you'll spend eleven days and every summer after that, for 70 summers, you'll spend eleven days in camp.
 By this time you're thirty-two years old and, at that age, you pass out of the regular army into the landwehr
 Youu do eleven days every four years, until you have served an addi- tional twenty-two days. So you've served in all, 158 days.

A Lesson For The
 Young Americans Any Man Knows How to Die But Few
 Know How to Fight.
By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD


 United Press Staff Correspondent
 BERNE. May 8.-"1Iy son and his regiment knew how to die but they didn't know how to fight"
 The English father who said this of his dead soldier son who had been trained only three months paints picture of the plight of the average American if the United States were plunged into war and needed millions of troops quick.
 It's all right to know how to die. they say here in Switzerland, but it's better to know how to fight By fighting you lessen your chance of dying. A soldier hasn't got any right to die, unless there's nothing else left for him to do.
 Fighting today is an exact science. Read a book Of military instructions. It tells you every last thing a soldier ought to do, in every possible contin- gency. Master militarists have work ed it all out and put it down. Swiss citizeu-soldiers know how to do twenty different things in a pinch, be- fore they resort to dying. They know how to die too if it comes to that.
 How long does it take Swiss youth to learn how to fight instead of die?. How long would it take an American youth to learn the same thing
 Just one hundred and ffty-three days!
 Of torty-eight years, a Swiss cit- zen-soldier gives half a year to learn ing how to be one of the best soldiers in the world.
 In all this time he is forced to fire only 1000 shots. He does fire more, it is true, because his 1000 shots teach him that sharp shooting in the open air is more fun than kelly pool shooting in a smoke filled room.
 Switzerland is full of shooting clubs. One hundred and forty-three days in camp and the firing of a rife 1000 times in twelve years and you've got your crack Swiss private soldier.
 Two hundred and thirty-eight days, taken out of a lifetime, makes a cor pOraL A sergeant is made in 2S2 days and a lieutenant spends 4O2 days, out of his entire life, to learn his job. A captain of forty-eight years has put in 5Ss days, altogether.
 These periods of learning and ex- perience are spread over a long stretch of time.
 The first bit is sixty-fve days. When you're twenty years old, you go into a military school for that time.
 You don't give up your job to do it, either. Let your boss try to give your job to somebody else while you're gone, no matter whether you're a bank clerk or a farm hand; he'll go to jail if your job isn't open for you when you come back
 Whats more, if he has any pride at all, he'll pay your wages while you're gone, Let his neighbors find
