AMBITIOUS SEWARD

Having at last awakened from its lethargy Seward bids fair to outrival Anchorage in it's effort to be the center of all Federal activities of the Territory For some time past an agita- ton has been under headway to have the capital moved from Juneau to Seward; then a movement was started to change the head quarters of the district court from Valdez to the town on Resurrection Bay and now we are informed by the Seward Gateway that the Sigma Corps is soon to shift it's activities to that city, in the following article:
 The time is not far distant when the head qua1 ters of the Washington-Alaska Military Cable and Telegraph System will be removed to Seward. For the past twenty years this headuuarters has been at Valdez, but with the laying of a new cable it will be imperative that the change be made to Seward, for the reason that supplies to the interior can be handled more expedtiously, men transported to and fro more economically than over the Richard son road, and the laying of the new cable direct from Sitka to Seward will make for economy and time in handling messages. The personnel of the Signal Corps is composed of a manly, clean bunch of young fellows and their families, and these compose the greater part of the population of Valdez They would be a considerable addition to the social and economic population of Seward.

ALASKA'S PULPWOOD

One of the advantages of the annual reports from the various departments of the Federal government is the taking account of stock of the potential assets that would otherwise be forgotten by the public
 In this way the report of the Secretary of Agriculture calls attention to the possibilities in paper making of the Alaska National For ests.
 Says the report:
 ''The attention of capitalists and news print manufacturers has been called to the Alaska National Forests as bases for the establishment of important industries The Tongass National Forest in the Southeastern part of the Terri tory has stand of not less than 100000 100000 feet of timber within its area of about 15,000,- 900 acres. The two National Forests in Alas ka can furnish perpetually 2,O00,000 cords of pulpwood annually, amounting to an equiva- lent of one third of our present consumption.
 It is not so long ago that print paper was an ~exceedinly, scarce commodity, and its value in creased enormously. Yet in this situation, with both publishers and the public penalized for the scarcity, an amount of pulpwood cap able of yielding one-t third of the nations paper consumption was unused and much of t even going to waste. One of the hopeful features of Alaska's future development is the bringing of this immense tract of potential 4product into touch with the worlds markets. Seattle Post -Intelligencer

looking at the pond beneath them.

last.
"What?"
'The fence on tho other side"
What about it,"
"WelI, it's rather useful, that's

Antony laughed.

at his pipe. He's got the body, or

They walked down to the margin
of the pond and then looked back.
Bills tree stood up and took the
evening, tall and unmistakable, fifty
feet nearer to heaven than its
neighbors. But it had its fellow at
the other end of the copse, not Quite
so tall, perhaps, but equally con-
spicuous.

CONTINUED From Our Last Issue)
From the beginning Antony had
seen this answer coming and had
drawn back from it. For, if Mark
had been killed, it seemed such a
-blooded killing. Was CayIey
equal to it?
Bill would have said ''No," because
Bill wouldn't have killed anybody
in cold blood himself, and because
he too for granted that other peo-
pie behaved pretty much as he did,
But Antony had no such illusions.
Murders were done; murder had ac-
tually been done here, for there was
Roberts dead body. Why not an
other murder?
Had Mark been in the office at all
that afternoon? The only evidence
(other than Cayley's, which obvious
" did not COUNTY was Elsie's. Elsie
was quite certain that she had heard
his voice. But then Bill had said
that it was a very characteristic
voice-an easy voice, therefore, to
initiate. If Bill could initiate it so
successfully, why not Cayley?
But perhaps it had not been such a
cnld-bIooded killing, after all Sup
pose Cayley had had quarrel with
his cousin that afternoon over the
girl whom they were both wooing.
Suppose Cayley had killed Mark,
either purposely, in sudden passion,
or accidentally, meaning only to
Knock him down. Suppose that this
had happened in the passage, say
about two o'clock. Suppose Cayley
there, with the body at his feet, feel
ing already the rope round his neck;
his mind darting this way and that
in frantic search for way Of es-
cape; and suppose that suddenly and
irrelevantly he remembers that
Robert is coming to the house at
three o'clock that afternOon-auto-
matically he looks at his watch-in
half an hours time ...
Antony pictured to himself Cayley
in the passage. standing over the
dead body of his cousin, and work
ING it out. How could Robert be
made to seem the murderer, if
Robert were alive to deny it? But
Suppose Robert were dead, too?
He looks at his watch again. (Only
twenty-five minutes now) Suppose
Robert were dead, too? Robert dead
in the office, and Mark dead in the
passage-how does that help? Mad
nesal But if the bodies were brought
together somehow +. And Robert s
death looked like suicide? . Was
it uossible?

At midnight the pond was waiting
for them, more solemn in the moon
light. The trees which crowned the
sloping bank on the far side of it
were mysteriously silent. 1t seemed
that they had the world very much
