When you turn in an order to the postoffice for thousand stamped en- velopes you are spending twenty dol lars to help put the town on the bun, when you send out fat order for printing to the states you are taking one and probably two less from the population of Valdez; and this applies to all lines of trade. More business means more printers to spend their money with the merchants; more goods sold by our merchants means more clerks and deliverymen and more jobs for our citizens. Have you ever stopped to consider that if aVl- dez spent her money at home there would be more jobs and more people in the town? The man who Judges on his neighbors by making his living here and spending his money outside is mighty poor citizen at bast.-Val- dez Miner.
 NOTE:-Go to it Valdez and get what's coming to you-Needless to say we are aboard the same boat. MT. Merchant, does the cap fit you ? Are you an 'Outside printing buyer" If so, Why!-The Seward Gateway has been taken over by competent newspaper men and printers. The present plant is equipped to handle all classes of printed matter. We can give you a price that will pay you to have your work done in this town. Every dollar you spend with us is spent in Seward; Every dollar that's spent in Seward helps your business. -Lets get together.

WHY THE CAPITAL SHOULD BE
 MOVED NORTHWARD

Several representatives from the Third and Fourth divisions, when approached as to their views of mov- ing the capital from the panhandle of Alaska to more central spot, agreed that the time would come when such a move would be neces- ity, but expressed the opinion that "the time was not right just now" One prominent member of the Sem ate thought that when the govern ment railway was completed the is- sue could be successfully taken up and brought to g successful termina- ton.
 That there Is no time like the pres- ent for agitation for removal of the capital to central Alaska is apparent when one considers the difficulty re- gently experienced by Governor Riggs in securing quarters for the legisla- ture for the coming 1921 session. The first bids, despite the numerous empty buildinsg in Juneau, were so exorbitant that they were rejected and new bids advertised. The second bid was accepted, but the price was still in the nature of 8 hold-up, as the rent for the three months session totals nearly $2,00O, which would rent commodius quarters for the same length of time In the Smith building at Seattle.
 New arguments for the removal of the capital to the Third division are arising every day. The Third divi- sion is forging ahead, with it's vast resources as yet practically untouch- ed, while the First division is appar- ently declining rapidly. The fish have gone, a number of the larger mines have been worked out, and capital is now turning it's attention to the ex- ploitation of the timber.
 With a naval base at or near Sew ard, with the vast coal deposits of the Matanuska and Eska fields; with the halibut and codfish banks lying just off Prince William Sound; with a still abundant supply of salmon to the westward; with vast agricultural and mineral tracts opened by the building of the government railroad; with rquick and cheap transportation to the Kuskokwimr, Tanaana and Nome district; with the bulk of the road work in the three northern div isions; with large majority of the residents here; with the larger pro- portion of Territorial revenue coming from these divisions, it is but natural to foresee that the logical site for the capital is in central Alaska. As it is now a visit to the capital re- quires several weeks travel, a greater part of the way by water. Business is moved slowly and unsatisfactorily. When the capital was placed at it's present location there were few peo- pleB in Alaska, the Second, Third and Fourth divisions being unexplored ground. It was moved from Sitka to Juneau for reasons of accessibility. The same reasons require it's removal farther north. ithin a year three fourths of the population of Alaska dowill lie north of the sixty-forth de- gree of latitude. It is impossible to business with the capital as far away as from Chicago to London, when one considers the time taken to reach it.
 It will be great mistake to de- lay active propaganda to secure the removal of the capital while this vast empire is yet in the maing-Valdez Miner.

ELECTRIC STORM HTS CITY HARD


 Blinding flashes of lightning, crashing peais of thunder and rain in almost solid sheets were accompapiments of a storm that hit Norwich Saturday night about 9:45 o'clock and plunged the business and residence sections of the city into darkness for from 30 to 45 minutes. Lightning struck in several places in the city and branches were twisted from trees in several nlaces, but so far as had been reported up to Sunday night the dam age was surprisingly small for the se verity of the storm.
 It was reported that lightning had killed a horse and a COW on the so- called Spicer place on the Preston City road. which was the most serious dam age that was learned of
 The storm seemed to come from the southwest, sending advance notice in vivid flashes of lightning. followed by dis tant rolls of thunder that rapidly grew to the deafening crashes of nearby ar tillery as the storm center settled over the city. The lightning was incessanr and every jagged tongue of white light that cut the inky blackness of the sky was followed by a splitting crash oi thunder that seemed to shake the city while the rain beat against the windows as if the clouds were emptying whole pail. fuls at once. In the midst of one o1 the terrific peals of thunder in the early part of the storm, house and store lights all over the city went out and in some sections the street lights as well. However, Superintendent C. B. Taggar said Sunday night they lost no equip ment at the city electric light plant. 4 l dozen or more house services in differen parts of the city were burned out Tn, switches on all the circuits were throwl on again as soon as it was considered advisable to do SO Sunday the repai gangs of the city plaint were out restor ing the service where house circuits ha, l been burned out.
