Aron Ericson, Seward sign paint
er went down to the entrance to
Resurrection Bay recently, and on
Fox islands cliffs, where it can be
seen by all steamers entering or de
parting from the harbor painted an
immense sign 12 feet high and 250
feet long, bearing the words, Hard
ing Gateway.” The entrance to the
bay was christened Harding Gate
wsy by .he party aboard the trans
port. and it will hereafter be known
as this. The sign is a work of great
care and patience as it required
much time to hunt a spot where a
sign large enough to be read at a
distance, could be painted.

, FRED SMITH IS DROWNED
while; crossing nenana
Fred SmiJi, an employe of Jack
' Singelton, lost his life in the waters
of Xenana river yesterday while
1 trying to make a crossing of that
stream with several horses, opposite
, the town of Healy. south of Xenana.
Smith was riding one of the horses
and leading the others and, when
about half way across the horses
which were being led tried to turn
back to the Healy side. Smith pulled
at the halter rope and it seemed Uj
those who saw the struggle, that
Smith’s horse was upset in such a
manner as to throw its rider into
the swift current.
Smith swam down stream several
hundred yards and appeared to have
reached a shallow place where he
could touch bottom, but could not
hold his footing, and was swept into
deep water, where he soon disap
peared. An effort was made to he
cover the body, but without success.
Smith was a man about 35 years
of age and was quite well known
along the railroad, having worked
at various points during the last
several years. The accident was wit
nessed by several residents of Healy
but they were powerless to render
assistance.

R COMMUNICATION.

Xenana. July 26 1923
Edi or Xews:
We wish to take this opportunity
to publicly thank those friends oi
the Xenana Public Schools who have
cooperated with us during the last
two years. In everything we have
done we have always 'tried to keep
the welfare of the children of Xe
nana foremost. It has been our aim
to produce results and we have en
deavored to do so.
In order to carry on a successful
school it is necessary for the close-t
cooperation of the community, school
board and teachers. Since we have
been in charge of the Xenana
Schools we have tried to inculcate
into the children patriotism, loy
alty, truthfulness, obedience, ambi
tion and cleanliness of body and
mind. We believe that these things
are as essential in the education of
i child as the regular studies con
ained in text books.
We both wish you the greatest '
jibsperi.y in the community and
he highest degree of efficiency in
he Xenana Schools for the coming
tears. ,

J FOREIGN PORTS ARE COLD
TO STRANDED SAILORS
HAVRE. (By Mail)—Unwary Am
| erican seamen in large numbers,
who carelessly or ignorantly sign
(faulty articles of employment on
I foreign vessels are finding them
; selves stranded here without any
j hope of getting back home. In many
cases jobless and penniless sailors
have been arrested as vagabonds and
thrown into French jails and ac
cording to their stories, the same
danger threatens them in a number
of other foreign ports.
There has lately been a disposi
tion, the sailors say. among foreign
steamship lines operating between
Europe and American ports to bring
American seamen to Europe and
drop them, either through false re
presentation or misunderstanding on
the part of the men when signing
the articles. In some instances the
men are careless and sign in a
casual way. hardly knowing or caring
what they do. Some sign for a port
thinking it means a round trip and
:hen find themselves stranded on
foreign soil.
Finding they have no means to
return to America, many of them
appeal to the American consulates.
But nothing can be done for them '
except in cases of men holding sea
men’s cards in the American Mer
chant Marine.
The Y. M. C. A. at Havre has
helped ou: a number of men, but
the appeals have become so num
erous recently that the Association
has reached the limit of its funds
for such purposes.
REPORTERS’ STRIKE SUCCEEDS
DUBLIN. (By Mail)—For a week
recently the public of Ireland was
without reports of :>he proceedings
in the Irish parliament. The news- j
papers had boycotted parliament be- j
cause of the grievances of the re- J
porters.
The quarters for newspapermen j
were so inadequate, and the res- J
frictions against them so onerous, j
that the reporters voted to boycott |
in which they were supported by the j
newspaper proprietors. In less than 5
a week the difficulties were compos- ?
