The Big Chen a is the source of
much trouble to freighters and trav
elers to the upper Chena district,
owing to the prevalence of open wa
ter, according to reports received
from that section. Mild weather
conditions are blamed for the condi
tion, although the Chena always has
been marked as dangerous owing to
the presence of many warm water
spots. Harry Warren, Chena freigh
ter, is said to have broken through
on his last trip wetting a part of
his load.

t
Weekly Gateway
Will be published every Friday, the
lirst issue appearing in February
THE SEWARD WEEKLY GATEWAY WILL BE A NEW DEPARTURE m
the field of Alaska journalism, and will start off with a circulation of nearly 1000
-opie* It will contain the Associated Press News of the week, local news and Ter
ritorial News, as well as news of the mining and fishing industries. The Seward
Weekly Gateway will have nearly exclusive entry to the vast district west of Sew
ard owing to geographic location, and will have a splendid staff of correspondents
in each camp. Subscribers taking the Saturday Gateway will be transferred to the
Weekly Gateway as it will be more in line with what they expect in a, weekly papei.
We believe this new venture will prove sucessful inasmuch as it will offer an adver
t Din o' medium for outside advertisers to reach the westward public.
While The Seward Weekly Gateway will be published m Seward, tor a time at
lea^t it will be distinctively an Alaskanpublieation, by Alaskans for Alaskans. Ad
vertising rates will be 50 cents per inch per issue or $2.00 per month.

MEMORIAL BED IN HOSPITAL
FOR “LITTLE WOMEN" CREATOR
LONDON, Jan. 29. (JP)—Two gener
ations of girls—English as well as
American—have loved "Litte Wom
en,” Louisa M. Acott’s famous book,
and hav© laughed over the experi
ences of Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy.
Here in England it is proposed to
erect a memorial to them and their
creator, a “Little Women” bed in
the Washington ward of the Royal
Free Hospital, Gray’s Inn Road. Each
(bed will be dedicated to a famous
American.
The connection of the ward with
the United States began during the
war. Now poor English mothers and
babies enjoy its comfort.
