AN EFFICIENT OFFICER GONE
The death of James Hill, deputy
United States Marshal, at Seldovia,
at the hands of William Brooks
is one of those regrettable accidents
which go to form the warp and woof
of Life. Air. Hill had served but a
year or so, at his westward post, but
during this time had made an envi
able reputation as an officer, and as
a kindly and considerate gentleman.
Taking office at a time when the ter
ritory was upset by the recent war,
Air. Hill was forced to overcome many
obstacles. But he buckled down to
his task and mopped up the Seldovia
district with the same spirit in which
he served his country during the late
world war, giving the best that was
in him at all times.
Mr. Hill died in the discharge of
his duty—a pleasant task for a red
blooded man—never faltering or side
stepping the administration of the
law as he found it. His passing is
hard for his friends and for those de
pending upon him, but knowing
“Jimmie” we believe that he would
have never swTerved out of his course,
to avoid the Grim Reaper, if his path
led over the Great Divide.
Mr. Hill is the fifth public officer
to meet death while attempting to up
hold the lawrs of the Territory and
the Nation. He is the last to become
a martyr to continuous brooding over
so-called personal rights. Were we
to inscribe his epitaph, it would be:
“Here Lies a Alan.”
Secretary Work today completed
his invstigation of the contract exist
ing between the Alaska Steamship
company and The Alaska Railroad
fixing the division of freight rates be
tween the two concerns on the joint
shipments, referred to in a recent
speech by Senator Wheeler at Seat
tle.
“Senator Wheeler seems to have
been misinformed about this matter,”
said Secretary Work in discussing
the result of his inquiry. “The joint
tariff contract between the Alaska
Steamship company is not a ‘secret
agreement.’ It is on file with the In
terslate Commerce Commission ami
anyone who wants to see it may do
so by simply making the request.
“Moreover the contract is not an
exclusive contract made between the
Alaska Steamship company and the
Alaska Railroad. There is another
steamship line with which the Alasaa
ixuiiroud lias me same identical cou
iract, both in wording and in the
uivision ol rates. This company is
w;e Tacihc Steamship company, a
1 coinpetnor 01 me. Alaska Steamship
company.
Ac&cerday representatives of the
Department went over to the Inter
state Commerce Commission and ask
ed to see the joint freight rate con
tract between the Alaska Steamship
company and the Alaska Railroad,
i he> \»ere immediately presented
with it.
“This contract, as well as the oth
er made between the Alaska Rail
| road and tne Pacific Steamship com
pany, being on hie at the Interstate
Commerce Commission, is public pro
perty, accessible at all times to any
citizen ol the United States.
"As a matter of record, it was an
nounced by the management of the
Alaska Railroad at the time these
contracts were made, that ‘a similar
arrangement is open to any other
transportation line which desires to
enter the Alaska trade’.”
This is the last issue of the Satur
day Gateway before the election. It
is to be hoped that whatever the re
sult, it will be accepted with that
American spirit which believes in the
will of the majority. Every candidate
has his good points and his bad, as
politics dictate. Every candidate will
make a good official if elected. The
thing to do is to uphold our officials
and give them confidence in uphold
ing the law. What the country needs
today is not better officials but better
Americans to back them up.
IF THEN, WHY NOT NOW?

RETURNS FROM EAST,
SAYS BE COOLIDGE
( Continued from page 1)
great., great majority of the Ameri
can people are absolutely satisfied
with conditions and want them to re
main as they are. And, I say to you
frankly, that Calvin Coolidge will be
elected President of the United States
on November fourth. This man La
Follette never had a chance to be
elected, and he will be lucky indeed
if he carries his own home state, Wis
consin. To the red-blooded Ameri
can, his war record is sufficient to
condemn him to everlasting purga
tory,—and that’s what he will sure
ly get as a reward for his treachery
to his country. It is true that he
will get a very large popular vote
throughout the country, but that will
not be the vote of the patriotic ele
ment of our nation. Socialist, dis
gruntled democrats, sore republicans,
the laboring man who is unable to
intelligently view the true conditions
existing, (most laboring men vote de
mocratic as has been demonstrated
in every national election since the
Civil war, with the ej^ception of the
year 1920), and is inclined to affiliate
with the radical. Of course, John W.
Davis, the democratic nominee, broke
his pick by picking Brother Charlie
Bryan as his running mate. It is
very plain to the average voter that
he did this as a “sap” to Brother
Billy Bryan who had stood up in the
Democratic National Convention in
New' York City and in an impassion
ed address told the delegates that
John W. Davis could not be elected
for the reason that he was the paid
attorney of the Morgan’s and other
big interests. Since Mr. John W.
Davis so wisely selected Brother
Charlie as the candidate for the lit
tle end of the ticket, Brother Billy
Bryan all at once conceived the idea
that Davis was the right candidate
and has since industrially worked for
the election of Davis and Bryan. To
the anti-Bryan democrats the present
ticket is “poison.” Davis will get
the smallest vote ever received by a
democratic nominee since the Civil
war. These are my predictions. A
few more days and you will find that
I am not misleading you one iota.”

IN TACOMA, WASH.
TACOGA, Wn., Oct. 30.—A species
of worm that lives only in ice and
cannot withstand even the heat of
a human hand, has been found and
photographed by a scientific expedi
tion that recently went into the Olym
pic mountains.
I
The ice on Dodwell-Rixon Pass in
the Olympics was found literally alive
with th^se worms. They are black,
thin and about half an inch long.
When lhe sun is out they crawi into
the interior of the ice where the
iempera’iae is lower. Scientists with
the party said that so far as they
knew these worms had never been
found before in the United States.
While 'lie worms were photograph
ed it was Impossible to get any of
them out of the mountains alive.
When l ie ice surrounding them b
gins to they die immediately.
What 'hey live :n is still a ni/..v, ij
NOTE—Scientists haven’t found
wrhat these little critters (ice worms)
live on. They don’t live! In Nome,
wrhere the temperature remains about
the same the year around on top of
glaciers these worms are found in
abundance. On sunshiny days they
come out for air, which causes the
ice to honeycomb wdiich in common
ly seen in the hardened wrater of
any country. To get these worms
for pets it is well to find the proper
temperature so as not to molest the
worm. Then one must have boil
ing water and put the ice in which
the worm in embedded. Care should
be taken not to melt the ice or the
worm will die. When the worm is
finally boiled out well, it can be re
removed by taking out the ice and
straining the boiling water.
