COURT HEADQUARTERS IN SEWARD

When the President of the United States officially desg
 mated Seward the ocean terminus of the Alaska Rail- road, and that railroad completed from Seward to| Fairbanks distance of 47O miles, thereby connecting the 5000 miles of Alaska southern seaport with its 3OOO miles, of interior navgable rivers and uniting both with all off the rich valleys in between settled for all time the geo. graphic fact that Seward is be not alone the commercial metropolis and the industrial port for all of the vast try of which is the shipping and railroad center but also of the great cities of the Pacific from San Diego to Nome
 The headquarters for the United States Court estab shed at Valdez in the early days of mining stampedes be- fore there Seward railroad to the interior It is reflection neghboring town that had 10000 population but has less than 300 to say that Valdez cheerfuly awards the future to Seward
 There is plausible why the population in the Third Judicial District far north Broad Pass the Alaska Railroad distance of 300 miles, and far west Dutch Harbor distance of 300 miles, and far west miles, should be taken small hamlet at extreme end of the district at great expense of time and money when the natural and convenient center for all of that population is at the meeting place of railroad and steamship the city of Seward
 Looking to the future every man who knows the re- and the climate of Alaska must know that the densest population will be the Kena peninsula within radius of 150 miles of Seward.
 The hundreds of little valleys all through this favored part of Alaska the Kena peninsula and the vast shelf it's western part between Cook Inlet and the Kena tans 30 miles wide by 100 miles long, have gardening and other agricultural alone sufficient to support 100000 population. There in addition in grazing that will make live stock and daryng country of National importance because of its favorable climate in summer and winter.
 All of those rich valleys will be direct ly connected with Seward by railroad steamships auto mobile highways.
 Why not frankly recognize the logic of facts and flu ture developments by doing what will have to be done eventually that is to accommodate the bulk of popula ton by establishing the headquarters of the United States Court for the Third District at Seward?
