SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE BUSINESS
With the assurance of $1,700,000 will be spent for
maintenance and improvements along the Alaska Railroad
right-of-way this season, residents along the railroad belt
need have no fear that the country is going backward.
Uncle Samuel is not built that way. With respect to the
remarks of Noel Smith, general manager of the Govern
ment’s big Alaska transportation system, that conditions
in railroad circles will be about the same as last season,
the fact must not be lost sight of that there will be a con
siderable increase of general activity due entirely to the
advent of the big mining companies in the “Heart of the
Golden North,” for, that region’s prosperity will reflect
all along the line, and a great deal right here in our home
town.
Hundreds of people have passed thru Seward the
past month- and will continue to do so. Then the tremen
dous tonnage. This in itself will keep longshoremen occu
pied on the Seward wharf for weeks on end.
The increased tourist season, the halibut and salmon
market, the revival of mining around this district, the pos
sibility of Lowell Creek project going over, must be view
ed optimistically. Seward indeed, is standing on the
threshold of a banner year.
It appears that many tourists of last year labored un
der the impression whenever they saw Esq. after an Al
aska’s names that it meant he was an Eskimo.
BERNIE STONE, PUBLISHER
In the last mail received by The Gateway comes the
Leadfield Chronicle, Volume 1, Number 1, edited and pub
lished by Bernard Stone, well-known veteran newspaper
man of Alaska and former publisher of this paper. That
Bernie is sitting pretty, so to speak, in Inyo County is
putting it mild and The Gateway in expressing itself wish
es Bernie all the success in the world which he is justly
entitled to. Bernie is a versatile writer, well known on
mining subjects and in going into a mining district, that
district should feel honored in having such capable man
at the helm of broadcasting to the wide world its latest
doing and “finds.”
Prohibition may be a success, but one Sewardite says
he has yet to hear of a corkscrew factory going into the
hands of a receiver.
Congressman Martin L. Davey, of Ohio, brought up
a disagreeable subject during a recent session when he
said there are 20,000 more names on the government’s
payroll now than there was when President Coolidge took
office. And this, in the face of the President reputed
economy record.
“That’s a new one on me,” said the monkey as he
scratched his back.

Captain 0. A. Johansen
Performs Marriage
Upon the High Seas
Captain O. A. Johansen, master of
the 1S.1S. Starr, met up with a new ex
perience on the westward voyage
just completed, when he w&s called
upon to perform a wedding ceremony
upon the high seas. But Capt.’ Jo
hansen has never failed to deliver
the goods, either on the bounding
billows or ashore, and though he
might have betrayed some perturba
tion, the marriage, never-the-less,
went through according to the book.
The young couple were Miss Lena
Erickson and Mr. Eli Metroken, both
residents of Chignik, and took place
March 11. Witnesses were Roy A.
Wheeler, chief officer, and Francis
Bender, purser, both of the Starr.
Mr. Metroken is an island fox
farmer near Chignik and the bride
is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Erickson,, well known and oldtime
residents of Chignik. Following the
marriage, Captain Johansen steamed
back to Chignik, deposited the newly
weds safely ashore, gave them a final
salute from the vessel’s whistle and
continued on his way.

chorage Miss, was a week end vis
