NAVY DAY—ROOSEVELT DAY
There is a double significance in this day, Octo
ber 27.
It is the anniversary of the birth of Theodore
Roosevelt as well as Navy Day chosen by the men of
the naval arm of the service because Roosevelt strove
so valiantly for a bigger and better navy.
All over the world today wherever Uncle Sam’s
ships or stations may be there will be open house.
Here in Alaska where men of the communications
branch are located there will be informal gatherings,
but for those of us who are not near enough to extend
the hand of fellowship it is well to reflect upon what
the Navy is and means for this far removed portion of
the United States.
Perhaps there is no branch of the Federal Service
in Alaska which gets less public recognition than the
Navy because there are no brass bands or loud speak
ers in connection with the Navy’s work in Territorial j
waters.
But the men of the sea and the newspapers and
business men know what the Navy is doing and has
done to facilitate communication, the dissemination of
hews and the safeguarding of commerce over tumul
tuous waters.
For these things -we are grateful and we take off
our hat to the tars of Uncle Sam.
WHAT HO! NEW GOLD CAMP!
Well, with 40 men working on Cache Creek this
past summer and nearly $100,000 in gold taken out; j
and with 100 men working there next summer and say j
$250,000 taken out; and with 500 men working there!
the following year with maybe a million taken out, \
we just can't be down-hearted.
We'll tell you gentle reader, when you come to
think it over there are very few places o nearth where
you can do things like that—just step right out into
the wilderness where the foot of man may never have
trod before and peck around a lot and eat sourdough
bread and caribou and find some gold and get others
to pecking around and find more gold and pretty soon
she’s a camp making hundreds of fellows happy and a
world wealthier with a new stream of gold pouring in.
It hasn’t all been done in a day, mind you, and
there's been toil and hardship and disappointment but
when finally the giants roar and the gravels thunder
down the sluices and there grow those ridges of yellow
metal under the riffles, Oh Boy! What a grand and
glorious feeling!
Don’t think there's any question but what we’ll
have to give Jim Murray credit for Cache Creek, and !
she's going to make a camp. Jim found six pay channels
on that creek alone, and several of the tributaries are
making good as well as Peters Creek. Jim was one of
the first in there and he's been plugging ever since.
He won't have to work any more.

He’s a miner himself and he’s
! been in the Alaska legislature six
j times. That’s why the miners hail
! ed him again from his diggings in
| the Nezena country and made him
I run again, and it seems likely that
Joe H. Murray of Cordova, repub
j lican candidate for the house for
| the Third District will win the job !
! hands down Tuesday, next week. j
j Mr. Murray is also a lawyer in ad- j
dition to his mining activities, but j
is is said of him tha th dikes
it is said of him that he likes min
, mg best and still thinks he has j
I one of the world-beatin’ist pro- .
| parties on Young Creek out from j
McCarthy. They don’t tally Mur
! rays vote out there. They just lump
! all the voters in the precinct and
! let it go at that.
| Mr- Murray has been ding some
| quiet electioneering, having just
j come over from Anchorage and
| mayfind it possible to go west as
\ far as Kodiak before ballot day. “I
I don’t go in much for making
speeches,” he said, “because I’ve
known men to talk themselves thru
the exit instead of the entrance.”

Gateway Readers:—
Since it is impossible for me
to meet all the readers of this
paper personally, I am taking
this means of informing you of
my qualifications for the posi
tion of Commissioner of Educa
tion for the Territory of Alas
ka, wich position I am seeking
at the general election on No
vember 4th.
I am a college and university
graduate, having studied an
equivalent of two years beyond
the requirements for the A. B.
degree. During these two years
of post-graduate study, I have
specialized in the field of school
administration, and have cover
ed every phase of the work.
I have had 17 years experience
in school v/ork, consisting of
experience as a rural school
teacher, high school teacher,
high school principal, grade sup
ervisor, and city superintend
dent.
With the special training and
wide experience noted above, I
am sure that I am very ade
qautely qualified for the posi-1
tion, and if selected, will give
the Territory an administration
l of its schools that will be in
! keeping with the best practices
i of the times.
You will find my name on the
! Democratic ticket.
| Yours very truly, A. E. Karnes,
Superintendent of Schools,
