A NEW ERA FOR SEWARD

Stewards mtring efforts to make this headquarters for fishing fleet have produced results.
 Continuous work on the part of the men who took this project in hand last winter aided by the fact that this is by nature the central port for the great habut banks lying directly south of Resurrection Bay and by able CO., operation of the officials of the Alaskan Engineering Commission has brought about new era for Seward
 Fishing is one of the worlds greatest industries and it is the greatest in Alaska.
 To those in business here the driving of the first pile in the first fish dock to Seward than the dry- ing of the last spike in the government railroad from here to Fairbanks.
 There is no doubt about the natural advantages of Seward which made it the most available point for the government railroad terminal and will make 1t the coal inc base for future Pacific fleets but railroad terminal IS not in itself anything but place of abode in transit from sea to some other point inland and cOag base does not make for much but in fish there possibilities on which to build
 There is opportunity for many side products to the fishing industry here which will probably be developed at an early date among the important being leather and oil from the shark and the manufacture Of fertilizer
 Halibut fleets operating out of Seward will bring the families of fishermen and salmon cannerles mean e- ployment for many during the summer season.

GENTLE REBUKE

 IN SWEDISH NOTE

STOCKHOLM, Saturday, Feb. 10. -Sweden's reply to President Will sons note asking that all neutral powers join with the United States in cutting off diplomatic relations with Germany on account of her submarine warfare, also takes in the American note of few days before which also was handed to neutral powers, asking for a statement from the combatants of the grounds on which they would consent to negotiate for peace. The Swedish reply says in part:
 "The government of the United States has chosen as means of ar irving at a realization of peace a method absolutely contrary to the principles which have guided the policy of the Swedish government up to the present hour"

 Alaska Farmers Successful
 Mir. Noon landed at what is now Walla Walla in '62 when he was 5 years of age. "In '76 1 was in Seat tle," he said. "In those days Eastern Washington was barren waste and considered desert. A Walla Walla farmer was fortunate if he was able to get 10 cents pound for his butter Today these farmers are the men of affairs in their localities and the Eastern Washington desert of the early days is the rich farming area of the Northwest.
 "The pioneer Alaska farmer of to- day gets for his butter 50 cents r pound and for his potatoes $40 ton and he is better off than was the pioneer farmer of the West. have seen herds of cattle in that North country fat from the native forage, I have seen grain mature and splen- did crops of all the hardier varieties of vegetables. My experience as a frontiersman assures me concluslVely that Alaska will have a population ot successful farmers.

 Steward has many advantages that will make it prosperous community We are now preparing to build up a fish industry. Adjacent to Seward are some of the largest halibut banks in the North. The work of the Al aska bureau is now becoming better known throughout all sections of Al aska.

OUR MEN IN FRANCE

THREE months ago most Americans ne
i uevod that the only aid given 10 the
land forces Of the Allies by this country
would be a comparatively small huihner
Of troons sent TO France with the flag to
give moral support 10 the immense
armies already I'm the field. Even TINS
much military effort was considered by
many as something Of n romantic dream.
Today, with the arrival of our transports
in a French port, this dream is reality
and only the beginning Of n long series
of similar stern realities. Moral support
a.plenty is thus given, and substantial
support, too.
The fevorish enthusiasm with which
the American soldiers were greeted was
caused. we wish to think, by their fine
appearance as much Hs by the drama and
meaning Of the occasion. We can be
proud Of our regulars. There are no bet
ter soldiers. picked men Of picked race,
descended from the bravcst, proudcst and
most adventurous people in Europe, who
crossed an ocean to be free. They now
rccross that ocean to stay free. There
will be casualties, but men who have
chosen the dangerous and honorable pro.
fcssiou of arms expect casualties and do
not want to be sentimentalized over.
These professionals will by their gallant
example teach those of us who are as yet
amateurs at arms how to do the job
in a manly fashion.

THE SHARING OF SAMOA

TT is customary to speak of German and
l. American soil being separated by 5000
miles Of ocean. But until some time after
the great war started this was not the
case. Germany and the United States
shared the ownership of the Samoan
Islands in the Pacific Ocean. 1900 miles
southwest Of San Francisco. New Zea-
landers captured Germany's share of the
islands and now the United States and
Great Britain are joint partners in pos
session-and very probably permanently.
These islands were ruled by independent
Polynesan chiefs, but for twenty years
after 1868 the conflicts between rival can
didates for supreme kingship became so
continuous that Intervention resulted. Ger
many Great Britain and the United States
had considerable interests in the islands.
II is said that their representatives fos-
tered the dissensions. The German consul
gave particular offense. and his truculent
actions nearly brought on war between the
Powers, but a conference was finally called.
The Act of Berlin. 1889, proclaimed the In
dependence Of the islands and guaranteed
the natives fun liberty in the election Of
their king.
In 1888 Mataafa was elected king by an
overwhelming majority The election was
contested by Malietoa Tanu, a nephew OF
former king, who was declared the right
ful heir by Chief Justice Chambers al
American placed at the head of the island
Supreme Court by the Powers Fighting
ensued between the forces Of MaIietoa and
Mataafa, who now enjoyed German sup
port The latter was victorious and in 1893
was recognized as provisional ruler Of the
Islands. The United States inan-o'-war
