 One poor ignorant pen pusher who is employed on one of the big daily's in Chicago succeeded in having an ar- ticle printed of the death and burial of the Territory of Alaska. He claimed every town in Alaska was full of va cant houses and that the people were fast leaving the country. Of course the poor fish was writing about some of the things that some of the erstwhile boosters for and of Alaska have been spreading broadcast while making speeches which they hoped would benefit the Territory. Some of our real Aiaskans who have gone to the states to try to arouse healthy inter est in Alaska and the future develop ment of the Territory are directly re- sponsible for the writings of such serbs as those who write such rot about the finish of Alaska. These men who are considered smart anu possess ed of a sufficient quantity of brains to enable them to discuss in an intelli- gent manner just what Is needed here, commence their plea with an awful vail about what is sure to happen un- less this relief is given and unless that thing comes to pass and while engaged in this wailing they seem to forget that lot of poor ignorant boobs are among those listening to them. They beg for this and that instead of ask ing for it and insisting. upon getting it. They tell the people of the awful conditions that will surely exist in 8 few more years if this thing is with held and If that thing fails to mater ialfse. Good Lord we surely have enough crepe hangers in Alaska with out picking. any of them out to send to the States. We want boosters. We need boosters, but for the love of Mike let's select boosters who know how to boost. Until we. do such articles as the Chicago :paper printed will continue to be published. The towns of Alaska are not ali depopulated. The town of Sew ard Is one that is net and what Is more to. the point it is not. going to be. We are-just@ commencing to grow in a steady, sure manner. New people from the outside are arriving here con6nu. ally. By this time next year the town of Seward will increase in population considerably. The same thing can be sad about every other town in the Territory. The present and the future never |, Led brighter for Alaska than it does l: :ght now. Maybe when tie people read the article about the vac- ant Houses they will decide that it is a good time to move from the crowded and congested cities and come to Gods Country. We have three saw mills her, in Seward and it's 8 safe bet that we can build a house for every new fam lily that arrives. We have received thir. ty enc letters during the past sixty days from thirty one different people scattered throughout the United States from New Jersey to Montana and every one of them informs us that they will arrive in Seward in the early Spring. Possibly every other newspap- CT "a Alaska has received as many or more letters from other people convey. ing-the-same news. If Alaska is dead you will all see the biggest Resurrec- tion, festival next spring that was ev-
 CT witnessed and if we could have the
 poor ignoramus here in Seward with
 usnext Spring we'd show him the er- TOT cf5his ways. Until then huff said. The more time a girl spends in
