ALIEN LAW-BRE.VKKBS
With the latest strike news, the question arises as to why It Is not pos
sible for our government to deal more effectually with alien law-breakers
no matter what their station in life may be. An extensive logging operat
or was in Morton a few days ago, and in telling of his experiences, related
how a strike of S3 longshoremen on Grays Harbor shut down all the log
ging camps on the harbor, thus throwing thousands out of work, and caus
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars' damage by a sympathetic strike of
longshoremen up and down the coast. He said that of the original S3
longshoremen to strike, hardly three percent of them were American citi
zens. Because a man strikes he is not necessarily a law-breaker: but the
predominating foreign element in such cases is what should cause the
grave concern.
A mining engineer of Seattle, who has been in Morton for a week or
more and who is no stranger here, having ives'igated certain properties In
this community some months ago. speaking along the same lines, said that
he would like to see a law passed that would provide for placing alien law
breakers at hard labor for a period of years, and after this term had been
served deport them. He called attention to the very few cases In which
the habitual criminal law has been invoked in this state, yet cited instance
after instance in which aliens have repeatedly been convicted of law viola
tions.
Many of these aliens now figuring in police court news are In this coun
try because a return to their native land would mean prison for them.
Then why should they be harbored in this country? If they are natural
ized, there Is no good reason why their citizenship could not be revoked
on the same principle that patents to land, fraudulently secured, are re
voked.—Ex.

The foliowinir article was flipped from the San Francisco Examiner by
L. I'rbach and mailed to Hugh Dougherty of Seward:
Alaska Kail road Xcars Completion
Fairbanks. Alaska. Nov. 23.—Virtual completion of the Alaska rail
road between Anchorage, on the southwestern coast and Fairbanks, far to
the interior, was announced here today. An excursion of Anchorage busi
ness men. leaving Saturday is expected to make the rail trip to Fairbanks
in twenty hours. A Fairbanks party returning to the States will catch the
Steamship Victoria at Anchorage and will journey from that port to Seat
tle. it is anticipated, within nine days.
The last rail was laid November 19.
We wonder where Seward is? If it is not on the Government railroad
and the southern terminal thereof as well as the port of call of the steam
er Victoria, where is it?
We gain nothing by hiding our light under a bushel. We must get
busy and climb to the peak of publicity ar.d put Seward on the map. If we
don't no one else will. It is up to the Seward Chamber of commerce to get
busy and advertise Seward or else we can expect no different understand- J
ing of this country than that which now exists all over the I'nited States. 1

If You want your town to succeed, trade at home. More towns have
joined the boneyard on account of the nail order house than for any other
reason. Your merchant may charge you more but he stands behind each
and every article sold you. And this should also apply to the merchant
who sends out of town rather than patronize a competitor.—Exchange.
The Chamber of Commerce Is one organization every citizen in Seward
should become a member of. It is the nearest to your pocketbook. your
home and your permanent welfare. A good, live Chamber will do more
for a town than any other organization.—Seward Gateway.

RAISE DEER AND ELK
Syndicate Proposes to Establish
Game Farm on Island.
Deer Said to Be Easily Domesticated
and in Woodlands Would Thrive
and Multiply—Elk More
Hardy Than Deer.
Seattle, Wash.—Plans are being
mailt- by a syndicate of capitalists
here to attempt the domestication of
deer and elk on a logged-off island In
Puget Sound. There are several thou
sand ucrcs of wild land thereon, cov
ered with hrush and young growth of
timber, affording ideal cover for these
aulmals. If made into a deer range
this land could produce enough veni
son to supply a large city with meat
several months each year.
The shore land is to he fenced seven
feet high, hy heavy netting attached
to trees. Tills will prevent escape of
the deer and elk by swimming. The
fencing will cost $200 per mile, and
elk at ?6T> per head and deer at $115
each will he established there. The
range Is half mountain and half vale,
with abundance of grass winter and
summer. Fresh water streams and a
tiny lake are on the Island.
It is said deer are easily tamed,
and in woodlands will thrive and mul
tiply. In five years one doe will pro
duce 25 ileer. They eat all kinds of
vegetation, nuts, lily-pads, fallen
leaves, lichens and moss. If pasture
is scarce they will eat course hay
and straw.
Elk an> more hardy than deer and
breed us regular as cattle. They live
and fatten on otherwise useless land,
but In winter must have some rough
age. The average weight of a dressed
bull elk Is between 700 and
pounds, or more tiian the average
steer.
The deer and e'k fnrmers will he
subjected to the came laws of the
stale, and can only kill the domesti
cated animals during ttie open season
and carnot market their product. If.
however, the deer and elk farming
should become statewide, a revision
of the lows would likely be made.

REMEDY FOR NERVES
Concentration Is Recommended
bv Eminent Music Director.
Cultivate an Interest In Work, an In
terest That Becomes Absorbing—
This Absorption Prevents At
tention From Wandering.
London.—What are we to do about
our "nerves"? It is the question which
bothers half the world toduy. Every
body who has to work under the eye
of a critic, from the orator who won
ders how his speech is going to the
shop girl who Is aware of the shop
walker's eye while she is selling a yard
of ribbon, is liable to an attack of what
we call "nerves."
To all such (sufferers, says the Dally
Mail, Sir Hugh Allen spoke when, as
director of the Royal College of Music,
he addressed the students of the col
lege at the opening of the new term.
He was speaking mainly to tiiose who
are or will become public performers
of music—but his words apply to
everybody.
"It Is not much to sny," he de
clared, "that nerves are the most
needed ingredient in the performer's
outfit, and that nervousness lias brought
distress if not disaster to countless
musicians. 'Nerve' and 'nervous' are
words which have the most diverse
meaning In our language. We s|>eak
of nerve as of something strong, vigor
ous, as courage and boldness and
assurance, and of nerves us a dis
ordered state of the nervous system.
"By 'nerves' we mean that miserable
state which attacks us at all turns of
the road, when we have to play or
sing, when we don't know our work,
when we are late, when we have to
do things In front of others. Personally
I know of no greater discomfort.
"I have known a man called upon to
speak suddenly among friends to be al
solutely dumb, and another to have
uttered a string of unintelligible non
sense. 1 have known conductors who
confessed to a feeling of complete
blaiikness at tlie beginning ni a con
cert.
"Now the paradox of the whole af
fair Is that you cannot be a really
good performer or conductor unless
you are nervous (111 a sense anil In
the right degree), and yon cannot be
If you are nervous! The c:i*e is
really this: It Is only those who have
nervous susceptibility and a delicate
ly balanced ami well controlled ner
vous system who will ever make an
nppeal by their performance."
Beyond the need for obtaining their
full knowledge of the matter in hand
Sir Hugh advises the nervous "to culti
vate an Interest In work, an Interest
which becomes absorbing, which means
that our minds are taken up with what
we are doing—not with why we are din
Inc It. This absorption prevents our
attention from wandering. The power
of attention which enables us to con
centrate upon whar we are doing, and
to become unsusceptible to otirsi.le in
fluences. but it is also the best way to
build up character."

A BIT OF ADVICE
First—Don't Delay. Second—Don't
Experiment.
If you suffer from backache; head
aches or dizzy spells; if you rest
poorly and are languid in the morn
[ ing; if the kiduey secretions are ir
regular and unnatural in appear
ance, do not delay. In such cases
the kidneys often need help.
Doan's Kidney PiUs are especially
prepared for kidney trouble--ther
are recommended by thousands. Can
residents desire more convincing
proof than the statement of a citi
zen of this locality!
Geo. Nawottny, butcher, 1343
Grant St., Bellingham, Wash., says:
"I suffered from lame back and kid
ney trouble. At times when 1
stooped I could hwdly straighten
because of the severe pains which
caught me in the small of my back
I was subject to pains in the back of
my head and spells of dizziness and
my kidneys didn't ict right. I saw
Doan's Kidney Pills advertised in
the paper and one box knocked the
pain3 out of my back and head.
They also rid me of the dizziness
and made my kidneys well."
Price 60*, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Nawottny had. Foster-1
