ANOTHER BIG BOOZE CASE
NOW comes forward Tom Revelle, United States Dis
trict Attorney, Ring County, Washington, with the an
nouncement there is another liquor conspiracy case com
ing up in Seattle that will make the Olmsted case look like
a one-ring circus in the alkali regions of South Dakota, in
comparison.
Seward readers of The Gateway expressed them
selves many times during the Olmsted trial as being dis
gusted with the trial taking up so much front page space
every day. We are wondering whether to have the new
booze case eliminated from the local Associated Press
files or not—what d’ya think?
It always pays to buy good shoes, or moccasins. Trap
ped by a blizzard in CALIFORNIA mountains, Mr. and
Mrs. J. E. Reeder, of Sacramento, had to chew their’s.
Alaskan sourdoughs have gone thru that stunt many
times.
Peking guardsmen today just shot down 17 students
who were demonstrating before the cabinet. Such action
no doubt was to stiffen the morale of others. Inciden
tally, it stiffened the ones who were shot, also.
PROHIBITION AND TYRANNY
A GLANCE over the front pages of recent issues of this
paper reveals white mule featured from one end of the
country to the other. With few exceptions the big stor
ies of today are those connected with prohibition.. The
newspaper straw vote which was conducted nationally
ended about 20 to 1 against the law.
Dr. Adolph Lorenz, Viennese surgeon, now in Amer
ica, declares: “Prohibition is an evidence of the super
squeamishness of the American nation. Only an Anglo
Saxon people would bear such tyranny. That a man may
not take a glass of wine at dinner or a highball at bed
time—that is gross slavery to a Puritan government.
Good wine is one of the best medicines known to science.”
A musical crank in Seward wants a law to compel
everyone to sing, but it could hardly be enforced in such
a bone-dry community.
When run down by a motorist, it is almost impossible
to tell how badly you are hurt until after you have seen
your lawyer.
Study in black and white: An Alaska Railroad coal
train colliding with a Seward Dairy milk wagon.
Next to Mount McKinley the highest thing in Alaska
is the stack of dishes in the sink after a big dinner party.

New Westward
Edition
The Seward Daily Gateway once more is taking the
initiative in advancing the interests of Alaska—This time
it will be an edition devoted strictly to the "Westward, both
conducive to the Fur Farmers and the Fish Canning
Industry. This edition will perhaps be the only one of its
kind ever produced in the Territory. Its size will be that
of the Saturday Evening Post, and will be profuse with
pictures depicting fox raising, the canning of Alaska
fish and, through the courtesy of Merl LaVoy, the Gate
way is grateful in securing some of the finest pictures
of the sealing industry that have ever been taken. With
al], this vedition promises to advance the welfare of the
big westward district which Seward alone is the Gateway.
Many correspondents have been arranged and thru the
last mail indications point that the special edition for our
neighbors will go over big. At another time announce
ment will be made as to the date of this publication, but
it will not be off the press before July.
The Gateway solicits articles for this edition which
will be of especial interest to those concerned. As was
said before, this will be a strictly Westward edition, dedi
cated to the Fur Fanners and the Fish Canning inter
ests of the Westward and Southwest district..
Advertising rates will be sent upon application*

NEW VESSEL BE
READY EARLY
PART OF MAY
GAME COMMISSION WILL OP
ERATE BOAT ALONG ALAS
KA PENINSULA
By May 1 the new boat built for
the Alaska Game Commission will
be in operation along the coast line
of the third division, according to
Dr. W. H. Chase, member of the
board, says the Cordova Times. The
craft is mainly for use along the
Alaska Peninsula. It is a 68 foot
halibut boat type boat with a 150
horse power Diesel engine and is
equipped for sailing. The vessel was
built at a cost of $36,000.
Dr. Chase stated that most of the
business of the game commission at
its recent session will not be made
public until the department of agri
culture has acted upon it. Some
changes of season on fur bearers
will probably be announced.
The commission has in mind con
struction of a shallow draft boat
capable of running on the Copper
River flats which will be used in
this vicinity, providing funds are
available.
Some elk are waiting in Seattle
for stocking the Alaska island*, but
it is certain that they are free of
they will not be shipped north until
disease, as several in the first lot
received died.
Nelson Secures Fine
Hydraulic Outfit
Hydraulic equipment formerly tak
en into the Interior for the Cayou
ette property on Copper creek has
been secured by N. P. Nelson, •who
arrived at Cordova last "week on the
Alameda. He and his partner, Gus
Johnson, have staked placer ground
on a creek near Strelna and plan
to use the outfit there.
Mr. Nelson is an old prospector
and was formerly a bartner of Billy
James in the original discovery of
the Shushana. He has been out for
the winter at his farm near Shelton,
Washington.

BUICK
G-10-28-NP
For Comfort’s Sake
The Better Buick offers every
ordinary motoring comfort, and
many that are exclusively Buick:
Easier starting—a new, high-speed
starting motor does it. Smooth run
ning from the go—Automatic Heat
Control is an exclusive Buick feature.
Easier steering—Buick’s 5-control
surface steering gear is the most ex
pensive and most efficient type today.
For Safety’s Sake
Buick surrounds you with every
ordinary protection, and then adds
Buick protection: Buick depend«
ability, which takes you and brings
you back, on time, all the time.
Buick mechanical 4-wheel brakes,
with no liquid in them to expand,
contract or leak away. And Buick
Controllable Beam Headlights, with
steering wheel control, which make
night driving a pleasure.
For Economy’s Sake
No other car has the “Sealed Chassis”
and the “Triple Sealed Engine.” The
“Sealed Chassis” lowers operating
costs by enclosing every operating
part inside a dirt-proof, oil-tight
housing, while “Triple Seals” close
every engine point of entry to dirt
and the wear dirt causes.
For Value’s Sake
At present prices, Buick with all of
its added comfort, safety, and
economy, is easily the greatest
automobile value in the world.
If you want liner transportation at
lower cost, come in and see the
Better Buick!

ONE SHOW TONIGHT—8 O’CLOCK SHARP
Frank Lloyd, who produced “THE SEA HAWK,” gives us
the great Saturday Evening Post story:
‘HER HUSBAND’S SECRET’
A love drama that is thrilling—Not sickening.
And the story is superbly acted by a great cast:
ANTONIO MORENO PAT RUTH MILLER
DAVID TORRENCE PHYLLIS HAVER
This play leans strongly to the detective story plot and keeps
you guessing.
A really good feature staged in a beautiful locality that gives
the picture added value.
WITH IT THERE IS ANOTHER PATHE REVIEW
containing a chapter of the great
INDIA HUNTING EXPEDITION
that has been of such interest lately; this time it is the
