sEWARD's OPPORTUNITY

Seward has an opportonity to add five hundred to her population by pushing a good winter trail across to Kenai from the lower end of the lake of the same name. This district has no outlet in winter and its population would come to Seward if it could get here, according to MT. Young, we'll known businessman of that place, who recently arrived in Seward, leaving on the Alameda for the states.
 The distance from Seward to kenai is about 100 miles, on direct line, but the country t-aversed is very rough and the greater part of the trail would necessarily have to follow the water courses. The trail, acording to MT. Young, would not have to be an expensive or elaborate thorofare, but only brushed out and marked for win ter travel. Seward could do no better

IT MAKES a man realize his lack of newspaper training when he scratches his head for an hour to write read able editorial and then pick up the January Pathfinder and read the ar ticle written by Senator A. J. Dimond on '.Pioneers" It flows as smooshly as 30-year old Johnny Walker and reads like an inspiration. Tony" may be a dimond in the rough but he is sure polished when it comes to sling ing readable English. And to think of all that ability being wasted on a lawyer, when it is so badly needed by the newspaper editors.

WHY A DIVISION?

The Juneau Empire asks in what way it would benefit Alaska to have the capital moved north, and says that interests in the Third division are no different from that in the first Divi- sion. The Gateway believes that this is an error, which upon reflection will be shown to be wrong. The Gateway believes that Alaska and First Divi- sion have no interests in common, and that the political machlnaaions oi the First division alone would divorce 1t from the rest of the Territory. Juneau politics are manipulated from Seattle and Alaska politics are mdnipu' 'aied from Juneau. The lest of Ala ska has very little look-ln. Subordinate posi- tions in the Territory are filled from the waiting list at Juneau. Veiy lew appointments reach other divisions The Territory is supplied with print- ing from Juneau; other offices having uo look-in, even the sChool being sup piled with printing from the capital despite the fact that it could be done as cheaply and as well in the locations frum which the taxes are delivol for the support of :he schools. Offi1es oi all kinds are centralized at Juneau, d.spite the thousands of miles o" trav- el it takes an ircumbent to reach his work in other parts of the territory; and expensive and slow proc ee3!Es-
 With the capital located at seward it would shorten trips to the capii2, by three weeks. It would allow resi- dents of the Fourth. Third and Sec ond divisions to do business here at the cost of not over thirty dollars for the trip from the head of the govern ment railway. It would place the bu- reaus where they would be centrally located. and in the heart of the fish, ing industry. It would give Alaska q chance to develop and grow.
 Seward has no wish to grow st the expense of Juneau, or other towns, i'll the Territory but division of Alas ka into two or more territories would not hur the First division and would greatly enhance the population Of the Third and Fourth divisions.

FOUR BILLION DOLLARS

People who are talking about tle four billion dollars owed this couH- try by great Britain have little idea what they are talking about. It is diff ficuI for enc to realize what fodr bIl- lion dollars means. Four billion is lot when one says it slowly and thinks what 1t really is. In s20 gold pieces, the coins piled on top of each other would reach e5 miles into the air. Stacked up in front of the Woolworth building, there would be enough coins to completely hide the structure De- hind a golden wall. Side by side they they would reach 1900 miles. To haul this four billion $500 Ford trucks would be required. The procession would be 24 miles long allowing 70 trucks to the block Each truck would carrv g load worth nearly half mil lion dollars. Is it any wonder that 1n- ternational bankers are working against payment of th:s money. when came out of the blood and suffering of the people of the United States during the war.

THE NEWS that the Road Commits

THE NEWS that the Road Commits sion and Engineering commission of fees have been consolidated, with Major Steese in charge, will cause the citizens of Seward no sleepless nights. While Colonel Frederick Mears has been a good friend to us, and has made wonderful progress with the means at his disposal, Col. Steese and staff will be forced to move north, and no telling where the lightning will strike. Seward can only be benefited by the removal of the Road Commis- sion to northern quarters.

Peaches Now Ready
For the First Spraying

Hileys are now ready for the first
spray, and peach growers in middle
Georgia are urged to start up their
spray outfits Immediately. For this
application use four pounds OF pow
dered arsenate Of lead with each 200
gallons OF water plus the milk OF lime
from shaking twelve pounds OF stone
or unslaked lime. If dust is used in
stead of the liquid the 0-5-95 formula
is recommended, however, the S0-5-l5
can be used if the grower desires, says
the Government and State Laboratory
at Fort Valley, Ga.
Elbertas will be ready for the first
application by the latter part OF the
week, and they should be sprayed
with the above materials just as soon
as the Hiley acreage is completed.
Then follow Elbertas with Georgia
Bellies, Uneedas, Carmen. Early Rose
and the early varieties The develop
ment of the fruit of each variety
should be watched closely in order
that the spray or dust can be applied
when about three-fourths of the petals
or pink part of the flower have fallen
Growers cannot afford to delay this
first treatment. as it is a very import
ant one against the adult curculios as
they appear from Information. They
will be appearing in numbers this
week and the recommendation should
be followed closely in order to keep
them in check.
The recent freeze has cut down the
peach crop prospect in middle Geor
gia to some extent, but there are
enough of each variety left for good
yield if the pests can be satisfactorily
controlled. Every effort should be eX-
erted by Georgia peach growers this
year to finish a high quality peach
crop, as the freeze damage in the
south is going to have its effect on
the price of the Georgia crop if the
quality will warrant it. Therefore a
special incentive is evident this year
for thorough spraying with the rec
commended materials.
