THREE POUND BABY LIVES IN INCUBATOR

Seward General Hospital staff members are proud of their achievement of maintaining life in a baby weighing only 3 pounds 212 ounces at birth
 The baby, a little girl was born prematurely, Monday, May 29 in the hospital. She was put under oxygen immediately, and is living in the incubator.

Cops Preparing For Their First BoII

Chief Greene says that he will take some time off and decor ate the Civic Center for the first Policeman Ball, June Is.
 Hal Gilfilen is helping the boys, and will serve as master of ceremonies. The orchestra has been engaged and is work ing on some hot dance tunes.
 T. H. Miller, Chief of Police, Anchorage, Captain Gray, Chief at ElmendOrf, and a number of patrolmen from both places are expected to arrive by special train for the event It is believed that this is the first Policeman's Ball to be given in Alaska.
 The local boys have a long list of items of equipment which they hope to obtain from the proceeds. Heading the list are a flngerprlnt camera, fingerprint kit and wire recorder for pre- serving testimony and state ments at arrests. They also long for a tWo-Way radio hook-up in the partol car to tie in with the highway patrol transmitter that is to be installed here. Then. if there is anything left, side-arms, a riot gun and uniforms are all on the list. Patrolmen have to provide their own guns, at pres ent, which equipment is usually owned by the city.
 We may not be able to get everything this year" the young Chief stated Wistfully, but, at least, we can make a start, and maybe get the fingerprint stuff and wire recorder
 Residents and businessmen are pleased at the ambition of the four young men composing the city police department, and they are receiving the support of most of the business district.

Fire Department Gei's Workout

Local fire-eaters were called out twice this morning within two hours. The first call was chimney fire at the Kenai Cafe. which was quickly cxtinguished
 Two hours later seco~d alarm brought the fire depart ment in record time to a cabin between Second and Third Ave nues on Washington Street. It proved to be a false alarm, turn ed in when someone saw steam rising from the roof. and thought it 10 be smoke.
 Volunteer firemen, all work ing in various parts of the town. made record time in getting to the fira station or directly to the scenes of the alarms. Chief Kielcheski, working the street grader in the North end of town. commandeered a car from the run in, the first time, but happened to be on Washington within three blocks of the scene of the second alarm He is just about the busi- est man in town these days.
 The Army truck with it's new coat of red turned out for both alarms, fully loaded with CTS thankful for the break in the monotony, but eager to get into the game.

NO. V How the Ballaine Brothers Acquired inc Townsite

 Our story is still dealing with events in 1902, before the first group of permanent settlers ar rived at the toWnsite, even be- fore the settlement had a name.
 In order to understand any thing at all about these events. and about the later story of Sew ard as we'll, it is necessary first to know a little about real eS- tate, and especially about the Changes in real estate values that can take place very suddenly. Here's an easy little key to help us remember: just bear in mind TWO factors that increase the value of land; and ONE main factor that reduces this value. The first two are:
 0) The productlveness or re- sources of the land, and (2) The convenience of the land in refer ence to other sources of income or value. In more highly deVel- oped areas, such as lots in a large city, the TRAFFIC factor becomes highly important, but this is merely an extension of the convenience or USE factor. The one main factor that tends to counterbalance the oth- CT two, and to REDUCE the value of land, is the taxation which must be paid in order to maintain ownership. Let's think of this in the simplest possible terms, as distinct from ASSESS MENTS for direc | improve mentS.
 Applying these simple keys to the situation in Seward in 1902, we can rule out one almost i'm mediately. The land making the toWnsite of Seward had no inn portant natural resources, such as mineral deposits True, it was at one time heavily timbered, but the logs cut from this area possessed only a local value, since in the early 1900's there were thousands of millions of acres of better timber, more easily converted into conner cial lumber on a mass pro- duction basis. This leaves us with two factors only to consid- CT. The convenience, or use, or traffic factor tending to increase the value of land, and the tax that increase, or to reduce the value of the land We'll refer back to these two simple princi- ples many times in the course of telling the story of Seward.
 So, we have the Lowell fam fly occupying an area of an acre or two on the present site of Seward, prior to the location of the Southern terminus of the Alaska Central Railroad. The rest of the land around Resur- rection Bay was at that time of so little value, that it wasn't even worth the effort of stalking out a homestead of the legal 160 acres. But the moment Res urrection Bay was chosen as the eventual seaport for the railroad, the value of all this land immedi- ately increased, even before any physical construction actually began Naturally, the Alaska Central Railroad promoters were going to take steps to make sure that this increase in value was returned to them, rather than fall as an unearned plum to the homesteaders who just hap pened to be in the right spot at the right time. All this may seem childishly simple to those with little business experience, but many millions of dollars in savings have been lost by small land spectators, who imagine that all that is necessary is to hold on to plot of land long enough, and some day it will be worth a fortune, through the efforts of somebody else FVan
