MONTANA PREACHER
REFUTED THEORY OF
MODERN PEDAGOGUES
MONKEY USED AS STRIKING
EXAMPLE—TAKES PLACE
ON THE ALTAR
BUTTE, Mont., Aug. 25.—With a
small monkey tied to a broomstisk,
held by his 12-year old daughter,
who sat beside the pulpit, Rev. Z.
Colin O’Farrell, one of Butte’s lead
ing divines, preached last night to a
large congregation in the First Bap
tist church, while the monkey chat
tered and chirped about the pulpit.
Rev. O’Farrell said that one of the
reasons for his bringing the monkey
to the church was because his daugh
ter had returned from school recent
ly a,id asked him if she came from
a monkey. When asked what {prompt
ed the question she informed him
that her teachers had so informed
her while at school that day.
“This is what the wor'd seems to
be coming to,” said the preacher. “In
* my opinion this teaching is the
cause of the awful Franks’ murder.”
The monkey chattered and danced
at the preacher during the service
while the audience sat in amaze.

William D. Coppernoll
Will Return to Seward
Shortly After Election
In a letter received on the last
boat from William D. Coppernoll,
prominent attorney of Seward, and
recent candidate for Attorney-Gener
al, Mr. Cop;nernoll states that he is
in Chicago, and is an active unit in
the Coolidge campaign. Mr. Copper
noil’s letter follows:
Chicago, Aug. 11, 1924.
Mr. Hal. Selby,
Editor, “Gateway,”
Seward, Alaska.
9) My. dear Selby:
For the past three months I have
done very little in correspondence,
even with my own relatives. My
time has been taken up with my
daughter who has been seriously ill.
I However, I have thought of you of
ten, and have been about to write
you many times, but something has
( always happened to put it off. Wrote
to Harry Hoben a short time ago,
that I would write, and as I am in
the mood today, shall write you a few
lines.
Inasmuch as you will probably be
more interested in matters political,
will try to give you a line as to how
things are lining up on the Nation
al campaign. I did not get to the
Cleveland convention. However, thru
the courtesy of John Troy and Ex
Governor Riggs, I was able to attend
three sessions of the Democratic con
vention. For more than two weeks
it was attended by constant confu
sion and chaos. At no time during
this two weeks was there any candi
date who could muster even a ma
jority of the delegates. It was any
body’s fight up to the 103 ballot.
Now, as conditions are being given
free rein, it appears that the nomi
nee of this convention is not any too
popular. In my opinion, John W.
Davis will not get to first base. All
* that he can possibly expect to get is
i the vote of the “Solid South.” The
fact that organized labor has given
its support to La Follette, makes the
election of Davis out of the ques
tion.
It is the general opinion through
| out the east, west and middle west
that Coolidge and Dawes will be
elected. Yet, there are many who
seem to think that La Follette and
Wheeler will be able to carry the
states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Mon
tana, Washington, both the Dakotas,
and enough other electoral votes to
make a majority candidate impossi
ble, thereby throwing the election in
to the House of Representatives, pos
sibly into the United States Senate,
and there the choice for President
determined. I am frank to say that
I do not believe the latter theory. Am
free to say that I believe the elec
tion will be decided by the people.
To my notion there is only one
| man to guide our nation in the pres
! ent crisis. That man is Calvin Cool
idge. He will be- found to have the
patriotism and fairness equal to the
occasion. The character of his can
didacy, the strength of the Republi
can platform and the record of post
war achievement through the diffi
cult years of this republican admin
istration enables one to depend up
on an affirmative campaign.
The extent of the general informa
tion about President Coolidge is
; large and encouraging. In the mat
; ter of labor, for instance, when he
was governor of Massachussetts he
took the liberal forward-looking view
in regard to such measures as an an
ti-monopoly bill—a bill providing for
direct senatorial elections, woman
suffrage, improved working condi
tons for women, factory surgical
equipment, shorter terms of work for
women and children and other num
erous bills which have had the whole
hearted support of labor. The peo
;ple of the east, middle-west and the
west know this.
We are living in a most extraordi

nomination,” Mrs. Ferguson replied:
“The vindication of Jim, my husband.
I have achieved my fondest hope.
Seven years ago, I left the state
house with Jim. He had been im
peached and stoned from office, and
forbidden to ever again hold office in
this state. I vowed that some day
we would return to the state house
with the name of Ferguson vindicat

high estate they were entitled to un

EX-GOVERNOR WILLIAM SVLZER OF
NEW YORK IS A SEWARD VISITOR
GOVERNOR SULZER IN THE EAST HAS PROVED
HIMSELF A TRUE FRIEND OF ALASKA
TYPICAL SOURDOUGH RETURNING HOME
FROM PROTRACTED VISIT TO INTERIOR.
•Former Governor Wm, Sulzer, of
New York, one of the old-time Al
askans, and familiarly known thru
out the territory as “Sourdough Bill,"
was a popular figure on “Main St.’’
—most of yesterday—as he greeted
old friends.
The ex-Governor served in cong
ress for twenty years, and needs no
introduction to the people of Alaska.
In fact it may well be said that he is
one of us, as he has frequently been
in all sections of the territory and
has always been regarded as one of
the active supporters of everything
that tends to the development and
prosperity of the north. He was
long associated with his late broth
er, Chas. A. Sulzer, who served as
territorial senator and delegate to
congress, in the operation of a big
copper property at the town of Sul
zer, near Ketchikan. During the time
the Governor was in congress he did
much for Alaska by way of con
structive legislation, and was regard
ed as Alaska’s best friend.
Mr. Sulzer has just returned from
the Chandalar mining district. In that
section, Governor Sulzer has large
mining interests on which a certain
amount of development work has
been done during past years. These
properties were examined by Mr.
Sulzer, with the idea of outlaying
work on a more extensive and per
manent basis..
It is the great aim of Mr. Sulzer to
have a government railroad built in
to the interior, and he has been la-!
boring with congress and the Alaska
Road Commission for some months j
past, with that end in view. Last.
winter he gave his personal efforts,
to assist Col. Steese, ^Delegate Suth- j
erland, Col. Landis and others inter-!
ested to prevail upon congress to
make a liberal appropriation for I
roads and trails in Alaska, for the j
coming years. It is the confident be-1
lief of Governor Sulzer that the min-!
eral resources of the great interior'
country will develop and expand to
an extent that will warrant the ex
tension of the Alaska Railroad to the
White River and Chandalar districts.
Governor Sulzer predicts that with
the greater development of what is |
undoubtedly oneof the richest gold !
and copper districts in the world,with '
transportation, will furnish susten
ance and industry to a million hardy
people. There will be cattle people
and agriculturists, who will supply j
food stuffs to the peqple living in the
large cities of the world. Wheat, i
oats and barley can be grown in the
great valleys of the Tanana, the i
White and the Chisana to greater
advantage than anywhere else in the !
world, to say nothing of ha^dy vege-1
tables like potatoes, turnips, rutaba
gas, carrots, onions, cabbages, cel- j
ery and cauliflower. This is on ac-!
count of the soil and climatic condi
tions.
“You may say this is Alaska en
thusiasm on my part,” said the gov- j
ernor, “but the things I said about !
Alaska a quarter of a century ago are '
true today, and every one of my pre-1
dictions now, will come true in the
next quarter of a century.
“Alaskan mines have had diffi
culty in operating successfully in
he Interior ,on account of transpor
tation costs, but this situation is not
expected to preveni quantity produc
tion when transportation is secured
“This is my nineteenth trip to
AJaska,’’ continued Mr. Sulzer, “and
perhaps few' peaple have seen as
much of Alaska as 1 have in the
past thirty years. Years ago, I
said that Alaska was God’s country
and the wonderland of the w’orld. For
health, for beauty, for scenery and
material resources, it is the greatest
country on the face of the globe.. It
could easily support a population of
fifteen million. The trouble in the
east—especially at Washington, D.
C., is lack of knowledge concerning
the possibilities of Alaska, and what
ought to be done to develop her re
sources and bring people to Alaska
to live.
it _
the United States. Put the map of
Alaska over the United States and
Alaska will extend five hundred miles
east of Cape Hatteras; five hundred
miles north of St. Paul; five hundred
miles west of San Francisco ,and five
hundred miles south of New Or
leans. Alaska is the land of mag
nificent distances. Few people real
ize this. To illustrate what I have
said, the distance from Havana, Cu
ba, to Etah, Greenland, is but two
thousand, nine hundred and sixty
three miles. The distance from Cape
Chacon in southeastern Alaska to
Point Barrow is three thousand and
two hundred and forty-one miles and
there is more difference in the cli
mate of Alaska than exists on the
Atlantic coast. How few people know
this. It speaks for itself. Thei*e are
really three Alaska’s, namely South
eastern Alaska, Southwestern Alas
ka and Northern Alaska—all empires
in themselves—anti each different in
climate, vegetation, and natural re
sources.” -
Mr. Sulzer praised the work of
Col. Landis, and said he was just the
man for the railroad job, and that
every friend of Alaska should get be
hind the Colonel and help him in
every way possible.
The great Governor of New York
also commended Col. Steese, and had
nothing but good words for our Dele
gate, Dan Sutherland, both of whom
are his personal friends.
“I am glad,” said Mr. Sulzer, ‘‘to
be in Seward again. It is one of the
finest cities in Alaska—the gateway
to the North. If I wanted to make
money in real estate, I would buy
lots in Seward and watch Seward
grow. Seward is only on the thres
hold of her progress and prosperity.
With her fine harbor, salubrious cli
mate, magnificent scenery ; and a sur
rounding country, rich beyond imag
ination in natural resources, Seward
is destined ere long to become one
o fthe great cities of our Pacific
coast.
“I am just as much of a friend
to lAaska today as I ever have been,”
said Mr. Sulzer. “I have large inter
ests in different parts of the terri
tory and I am going to stick to Al
aska in the future as in the past. The
people of Alaska can always depend
upon me to do my share to secure
Alaska her rights, to promote her
welfare, and to protect her interests.”
