SEWARD FEARS
GLACIAL STREAM
Population Anxiously Watches All
Night for Fear Stream Will
Overflow and Flood Town
The following interesting now*
item appears in the Seward
Gateway, showing that there are
other "glacier towns" besides
Valdez in this section of Alaska:
Last night was one of worry
and weary watching to Sewardites
because of the threatened danger
from Lowell creek, which sought,
at different points, to break in
to the banks and overflow the
town proper. Today the turbulent
stream seems less active and will
doubtless soon resume the even
lenor of its course. There are still
bursts of unusual quantities of
Svater pouring through the chan
nel, but they are gradually sub
siding, and the worst is over.
Town Marshal Reel, John A.
Nelson of the water company, and
others kept a vigil throughout the
long, dark night, prepared to give
the alarm should the necessity
arise. At 11 o'clock the sound
of the school bell aroused slum
berers, and many citizens hasten-,
ed lo the scone. It was found
that the water was undermining
the grammar school building, but
a splendid effort by many willing
hands diverted I tin stream back
into its channel, thus saving |ho
structure.
The middle p«»i-li«»n of the foot
bridge fell in just before noon
ye si ore lay and only fragments re
main scattered along I he wafer
course. The wagon bridge is bad
ly demolished and is impassable
f«>r (earns. Fool passengers may
cross on boards which have been
temporarily placed in position.
The railway bridge at I he moulh
of I he creek is undermined by
the rising waters and is impassa
ble for the anlo cars.
The waler system is si ill in
operation hnl I he light plant pipe
line is oul of cowmission.
1W-'s C. 1.. lloy» pud two sons
started from (iuikaua for Valde/.,
where the boys will attend school.
The boys came over I he I rail,
reaching town last evening. Mrs.
Iloyt wenl by way of r.liitilia and
there is no telling when she will
arrive. 11 was a race between
the parlies I" see which would

Election Announcement.
To the Voters of Valdez Precinct :
I hereby announce my candi
dacy for the nomination as a
member of the lower house of the
Alaska legislature at the non
partisan primaries recently call
ed. I do not believe in a one
man parly, nor in a two or three
man parly, but do believe that the
direcl primary is the fairest plan
for allowing tlie peoplo a full ex
pression of their choice.
Probably by another election in
Alaska, issues and questions of
public policy will arise, over
which Alaskans, will naturally di
vide into parties according to
their several opinions and con
victions. At this time T know of
no reason for any partisanship or
parly alignment.
As a practicing allorney_al
law T have no employment nor
obligations of any kind whatever,
which will in any way conflict or
he inconsistent with the duties
of such ofTiee. and |he only lliinc
I can give in the way of a pledge
or promise is that if selected fori
this office there will be no such I
entangling or conflicting employ
ment. Further than this T eannot
pro: more than this T cannot prom
ise. Very respectfully,
FRFf). M. BROWN.

GAME IS SCARCE
OWING VOLCANO
(•nine is reported very scarce
in the hills I his season. Com
pared to other years, there is a
notable scarcity of moose and
mountain sheep, and the feathered
I tribe is also wanting in numbers.
I The scarcity is attributed to the
eruption of Ml. Katmai. A large
quantity of the ashes were dis
tributed over the Kenai peninsu
la. especially in the western part,
which is the n<»|<•«) moose eoun-|

resulted, undoubtedly, in an ex

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
"Facts Are Facts."
It i a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a Ionic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez boor aids digestion. Use
it a few limes with your meals and you'll find we're right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its umiueslionable high quality.
Second, because- il is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patronize homo products.
