CAN SEWARD PROSPER UNDER
 HIGH LIGHT RATES?

There is no question but that high rates on power and light were one of the causes for the Alaska Railroad Shops being removed to Anchorage.
 One of the reasons for the Carstens Packing Company closing its place ot business in Seward was the high cost of light and power
 Lack of sufficient power was the main reason why the Alaska Motion Picture Corporation did not build it's studio in Seward.
 Shall the prosperity and growth ot Seward be further retarded? The only preventive is a municipal light plant. VOTE FOR THE BONDS.
 A Public Service Corporation The Seward Light & Power Com pany has refused telephones and lights to many home owners in Sew ard by refusing to extend their lines. In many instances the extension re quired is very slight. MT. Taxpayer, do you think this is the proper action for a public service corporation?
 Public Servant DispIeased The Honorable Judge Curtis R. Nor ford in a published statement says he was very much displeased at the ac- tion of the Better Seward Committee in using letter from one public of | ficial to another without his consent. The Judge should remember he is a public servant and as such should as sist in every movement for the bet terment of Seward instead of endeav- bring to suppress information of val ue to the people. The letter referred to was presented to the council meet ing, September 5, 1922, by Judge Morford and became a public record and the subject of action by the City Council. It was moved by Council man Ellsworth and seconded by Councilman Adelman that the Clerk write MT. Henderson informing him

The lower grades hold assemblies for the first fifteen minutes each morn ing on the first four days of the week. The High School holds their assem- bly, every Friday morning. At these assemblies singing as yet is the chief source of amusement. Soon the school is going to start the plan carried out last year, that of letting each room, in turn, give program each Friday.
 The school is indebted to the cham Der of commerce for the presentation of a picture of the late President Harding and to the American Legion for the presentation of frame for a picture of Ex-President Roosevelt.
 The school will soon be working on the annual American Legion essay. The Junior and Senior classes have al ready started to look for material for the essay contest.
 This years title is, Why Ameri- ca Should Prohibit Immigration for a period of Five Years" The topic is very interesting one and is the same one that the High School held their chief debate on last year.

SEWARD SCHOOL NOTES

Capt. Dancey, Americanization off cer of the American Legion, gave the school a very interesting address last week. His talk, while given for the purpose of showing pupils their du- ties in the years to come, was so full of humorous anecdotes and incidents that it was enjoyed very much.
 Capt. Dancey has promised to tell the school of his escape from Ger many during the war, if he has time on his return from Fairbanks.
 The pupils of the Seward School to show Capt. Dancey their appreciation wrote him a letter of thanks.
 Clara Manthey, log keeper, has started her official duties of record ing the big events of the year.

DlSARM THE ALIENS

At Valdez this week the Grand Jury in its final report to Judge E. E.. Ritchie declared.
 "& We believe that many of the crimes committed in the Bristol Bay district is due to permitting Orlentals (aliens) to have firearms which they use upon slight provocation, resulting in murder assault and other crimes" "
 This practice of permitting cannery crews, particularly the alien members to promiscuously bring firearms into the Territory is a source Of grave danger 10 the officials and to citizens, and results ill many murders being committed, in districts where the law is not represented in the person of a deputy marshal.
 These aliens not only use their weapons promiscuously upon each other, but slaughter game indiscrimi- nately, and at a time when it should be protected They kill thousands of ducks, geese, caribou and bears, and leave the country barren of game be- hind them.
 There are two remedies proposed to stop the carrying of arms by others than citizens of Alaska. One is the licensing of all firearms, and rigid enforcement of the law by Wardens; as is done in the States and in Brit ish Columbia, where the carrying o1 arms by Chinese, Hindus and Japa- nese became a menace. The other is to pass a law prohibiting the owning or having in their possession, any firearms or ammunition for same, by any alien. Exceptions could be made in this case, allowing any alien who had been a year or more in the Ter ritory. to carry arms by securing two citizens whose names were on the ta2 roll to go his bond. The latter is the Florida law to keep weapons out O. the hands of irresponsible negroes.

that both companies were operating under franchise ordinances and send him a copy of the ordinances. The motion was carried.
 Judge Morford in his budget for the 1923 school year asked for $549.80 for lights. We have been unable to find out what the 80 cents was for. We believe Judge Morford is assum- ing the wrong attitude for a pubic of ficial in blaming taxpayers and citi- zens for making use of papers that are intended for public information.

Keep Off the Highways
In the Spring Breakup
The Cooperation of the Public to Pro-
tect Roads and Reduce Repairs
is Urged in Bulletin

Thousands of dollars will be saved
on road work throughout Minnesota
by limiting the use of dirt and gravel
roads this spring, says a new highway
department highway bulletin. Heavy
hauling is prohibited on roads softened
by spring thaws and soaked by recent
snow and rain storms. The highway
department has posted many trunk
route sections and is urging reason
able use of country and town roads.
Prosecutions will be brought if neces-
sary, the bulletins says, and court
decision has been obtained in this
state that recovery may be made for
undue damage to public roads.
"Only certain amount of service
can be secured from gravel and dirt
roads in spring., says the bulletin.
Excessive use of the roads when soft
means ruts and mud holes that later
will leave them impossible for a time.

at is better to reduce hauing and
avoid this condition because the users
will gain over q given period and big
savings will be made on road work"
Bus and truck lines have suspended
in many parts of the state after learn
ing from experience that the excessive
use of soft roads is short-sighted
policy. State highway patrolemen and
other maintenance forces are under
orders to open drains and hasten the
drying of the roads.
Paved sections of the trunk high
way system have come through the
winter in excellent condition, the bull
letin states. Drifts in cuts that turned
to solid ice are to be cleared and the
hard-surfaced stretches soon will be in
perfect order.
+ The highway department is advoca-
ting passage of laws to enforce
reasonable weight limitation on loads
which may be carried on the highways
and other regulations to protect the
highways from abuse. Predictions are
made that these regulations will be
passed by the legislature now in ses-
sion.

PROPERTY TO BE SOLD
STOCKHOLDERS PLAN ON PAY
ING BILLS AND TAKING
OVER PROPERTY

Nearly 100000 in claims had been
filed today against the Pan Motor
company. Tuesday was the last1upon
which claims may be entered.
Judge John A. Roeser of district
court is expected to set date for
sale Of the motor plant to satisfy
claims.
E. E. Clark, receiver for the. COM
pany, stated Tuesday that approx
mately $4,000 of $45O,OOO in claims
will be contested. A number of
large claims are brought by St. Cloud
residents as we'll as outside interests.
but claimants names were not am
nounced today pending a tabulation
and the placing of claims in the
courts hands.
1t was figured that claims amount
ing to about 100000 must be satisfied
at the sale Of the plant.
Hundreds of stockholders in the
company have banded together to
raise funds for purchase of the plant
when it is ordered sold by the district
court. The sale will take place late
this spring or in the summer, in the
opinion of persons in close touch
with the affairs of the company.
The plant is valued at nearly $2,,
100000 and is considered one of the
finest in the United States. Produc-
ton of motor cars either by a re-
organized company launched by
stockholders or an Independent con-
Germ is assured in the near future.
Stockholders declare that the plant
will in several years become the
greatest single asset of central Min
nesota.
H. S. Wigle of Spokane, Wash, has
been named fiscal agent. working for
reorganization of the plant by stock
holders from all parts of the United
States. Headquarters for stockhold-
ers have been established in the In
stitute building and subscriptions
to the fund for purchasing the plant
by stockholders are approaching the
necessary amount for purchase of
plant, it is reported on reliable au-
thority.
There is no doubt in my mind but
that stockholders will obtain control
of the plant and resume production"

Death Of Seymour F. Titus
Deceased Was Former Sank Centre
Rsident-Well Known North Da-
kOta Banker at Grand Forks

The following notice of the death

known Sank Centre resident, which

from tie Minneapolis Journal will
be of interest to many Herald read
erS:
Seymour S. Titus, aged " pioneer
banker of Grand Forks, died yester-
day at his home here following a
short illness as a result of a stroke of
appoplexy.
Mr.. Titus was stricken while visit
ing with friends at the Masonic temp
lie. Although he became paralyzed in
his left side, he remained conscious,
and for short time it was believed
he had some chance of recovery. Sun
day afternoon, however, he fell into
a stupor from which he did not raj
ly. .ss--s.
Mr.. Titus was born June 8, 1851
at Oak Grove, Hennepin county, Min
nesota, now known as Bloomington.
In the fall of 1851 the family moved
to small settlement on the south
side of the river, now known as Shak-
opee, where the family home remained
until the death of the parents. He is
survived by brother, M. S. Titus of
Minot, N. D.
In 1872 Mr.. Titus began his bank
ing career in bank at Shakopee and
later worked at another bank at Sank
Centre, Mimi.
In 1879 Mr.. Titus came to Grand
Forks and later in the same year es-
tablished bank of his own known as
the Bank of Grand Forks. He was
the sole owner and entire staff of the
bank until joined by ]. Walker Smith
who came from Sank Centre to join
him in the new enterprise. The insti-
tuition was not only the first bank in
Grand Forks but was the only one
in the territory Of Dakota north of
Fargo. a..
His banking business fourished and
in few years he erected and occupied
the first solid brck building in this
part of the state. In 1881 the bank
was granted federal charter as the
Citizens National Bank. Nine years
later it took over the business of the
First National bank and still contin-
ues under that name. From the be-
ginning and until 1912 he served as
cashier and at one time announced
that he wanted to establish a record
of SO years as cashier. In 1912, how
ever, due to another consolidation, he
became president, and in 1916 chair
man of the board of directors. His
original partner, Mr.. Smith, served
as president for many years.
