Seward Starts Effort—
to Remove Territorial
Capital to That City
Seward Gate wav.
Up to the present time candidates
announcing for the Territorial Legis
lature appear to boaniiuous in their
approval of the plan to remove the
capital from Juneau to a more central
part of the Territory. There is nc
doubt that the movement is gaining
impetus as time progresses, and that
sentiment for a vote od the question
of removal will be so strong that the
Legislature will be compelled to call a
referendum.
As Seward is the logical poiDt for tbs
new capital tt »s well to consider this
tow* as the probable future capital o!
rhe Territory of Alaska. It is the ter
minal of the Government railroad to
the Interior, all travel going and com
ing into this port. Steamers from
Nome can connect here, eliminating
tho king trip to Seattle and back to
Juneau. The center of population is
rapidly shitting northward, and the
greater part of the income to the ter
ritory is derived from this division.
Why should it Dot be chosen as the
final home for the Territorial Govern
ment?
When the capital was removed from
Sitka to Juneau the wisdom of the
move was demonstrated. It cut off a
long and unpleasant trip, and placed
the seat of government in the then
most accessible place. Sinee this re
moval times have changed, and once
again, if the people of Alaska are tc
be' accommodated,.the capital must be
moved.
To secure results, however, it takes
more than talk. We must get busv
and present the facts to the Govern
ment at Washington? It will require
a concentrated and determined effort
of all three divisions to bring abeut a
referendum on the question. The
First division is strongly entrenched,
and is not above using poison gas, sub
marines and other weapons to bold on
to'the plum.
The towns of Cordova and Anchor
age are-said-to favor the removal, be
lieving that will bo 'of great benefit
to them. And not ODly will it beneSt
the Third division,' but it will save
citizens of Alaska thousands of dollars
In ti aveliDg expenses and time wasted
in going 600 miles to reach the south
ernmost point of Alaska.

The Anchorage Oil and Development
Company has given an option for 75,000
shares-of its so ck to R. E. Burns, of
Chicago, who visited the coast towu
recently. The purpose of the transac
tion was to secure funds for a standard
rig with which to drill the holdings of
the company, embracing 5,000 acres.
Over at Anchorage the lid is said to
have been clamped down on aJi the
liberties which have been overlooked
as to card rooms, pool halls and ot her
kindred places in respect to having
card games ns an attraction for their
patronage Chief of Police Knzmiller
has received instructions to rid the
town of all undesirables.
The spirit of optimism pervading
Seward today is a most healthful one.
Without exception every citizen is ex
pecting big things for Seward. The
revival of the mining industry, with its
consequent travel through this port;
the opening of the Primrose mine, a
few miles from town: the revival of cod
and halibut fishing from this port, with
an abundance of sbipping to carry the
catch to svarket; the erection of the
big pulp mill; the establishment of a
through rate over the Government rail
road from Seattle to Fairbanks; the
operation of the steamship Starr from
Seattle to Bristol bay ports: the con
stant arrival of new families—all these
tend to bring about a confidence in the
town which is hard to evercome. With
the beginning of 1923 we look to see
Seward doubled in population.—Sewaid
