NEWS FROM SEWARD, ALASKA
The following article run in the
Birmingham News recently and was
sent “marked copy” to the Gateway
in the last mail:
“The Bermingham News goes to Al
aska, and The Seward (Alaska) Gate
way, a live little newspaper, comes to
Birmingham,” said Mrs. Ada Brewster,
who has just received a fresh copy of
Alaskan news from the Far North
country, where her husband, Dr| Brew
ster, of the local chiropractic firm, is
visiting. “My husband writes that he
gets The Birmingham News regularly.
By the bye, the Seward paper of recent
date carried a notice about some Bir
mingham visitors to Alaska which
will interest many friends of the Bat
tertons: ‘A charming family numbered
among the passengers on the steamer
Admiral Evans, which arrived in Sewr
ard this morning from the ■west'ward,
is Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Batterton and
daughter, of Birmingham, Ala., who
disembarked at this port, and after a
few days in this port plan going into
Fairbanks. Mr. Batterton is a promi
nent business man of Birmingham, en
gaged in the coffee and food manufac
turing business’.”
BALLAINE PURCHASED
TOWNSITE.
With reference to an editorial pub
lished in the Seward Daily Gateway
last month, on the occasion of Sew
ard's anniversary, an error appear
ed, w’hich has been kindly corrected
by John E. Ballaine, a party to the
transaction referred to in the editor
ial, therefore being familiar with
the details. Mr. Ballaine’s communi
cation follows:
“Seattle, Sept. 23, 1925.
"To the Editor,
“Seward Daily Gateway,
“Seward, Alaska:
“In the interest of historical ac
curacy let me correct a‘slight error
in the Gateway editorial of August
28, which gave a review of Seward’s
founding and growth. I did not buy
the Seward townsite fro/m Mrs. Low
ell, as the editorial stated, but bought
it direct from the United States with
Soldiers’ Recertified Scrip. Mrs.
Lowell did not own the property and
had taken no steps to acquire' title
to it. She and her family were sim
ply living in a log cabin near the
beach. But, being natives, I recogniz
ed that she and her family had just
and valid rights, so I paid her $4,000
and afterwards gave her 32 lots for
a relinquishment of any rights she
might have, and her relinquishment
was filed in the United States Land
office for Alaska with any applica
tion for a homestead, thru my broth
er, Frank E. Ballaine.
“Very truly,
“JOHN E. BALLAINE.’’

NORRIS NOVEL IS
MADE INTO FILM
V -
• Most romantic stories end with a
wedding. “Christine of the Hungry
Heart,” the new Thomas H. Ince pic
ture made for First National, which
comes to the Liberty Theatre tonight,
begins with a wedding, and the wed
ding of the heroine, Christine, at that.
But the romance of the story does
not end with the wedding, it merely
begins at that point. Christine’s ro
mance, or romances, lead up to her
great sacrifice which finally brings
her happiness which every normal
woman seeks.
It is a fascinating story superbly
told with a fine cast including Miss
Florence Vidor in the title role, War
ner Baxter, Ian Keith, Clive Brook the
English actor, and Walter Hiers, the
rotund comedian. It was directed by
George Archambaud and adapted from
the Kathleen Norris novel of the same
name by Bradley King.

Does Your Back Ache?
Bad Backs Bring Suffering to Many
Seward Folks.
Is that dull, constant backache
making you old and miserable? Does
your back throb and ache until it
seems you just can’t keep going? Do
you suffer headaches, dizzy spells
and urinary disorders; feel weak,
tired and worn-out? Then look to
your kidneys. Delay may mean seri
ous kidney sickness! Use Doan’s
Pills—a stimulant diuretic to the
kidneys. Doan’s are recommended by
thousands.
Claude Nutter, S. 3rd St., Monte
sano, Wash., says: "The hardships
which I endured in the woods is
what affected my kidneys and caused
kidney complaint. I had severe
catches in my back when I got down.
My kidneys acted too often annoy
ing me at night. I always used
Doan’s Pills at these times and they
knocked the pain out of my back and
put my kidneys in a healthy condi
tion.”
