AN EFFICIENT OFFICER
With the departure of Former Dep
uty U. S. Marshal C. W. Mossman of
Anchorage for .the States, last even
ing the Third division lost one of best
known and most efficient officers. Mr.
Mossman was appointed by former
Marshal F. R. Brenneruan, democratic
officeholder, eight years ago, and was
marshal at Anchorage from its natal
day until the first of this month when
he was succeeded by Harry I. Staser,
a republican.
As an officer and a citizen, Mr.
Mossman was the peer of any Federal
official ever appointed in this divi
sion. He reduced law violations to a
minimum. It was during his term j
that Isaac Evans, the popular Seward
deputy was murdered, the hunt for
the murderer being speedy and sue- j
cessful. He also was instrumental in :
capturing the murderer of Ben Agnew j
the Matanuska rancher, and captured
hundreds of lesser law violators. As a !
citizen, Mr. Mossman was an ardent
booster for the locality in which he
lived. Mr. Mossman is an oldtimer in
Alaska, having lived in Nome and
numerous other camps. At all times
he has been a conscientious, forceful
official, deserving of praise for his en
forcement of the law. It is with deep
regret that the Gateway sees his term
of office expire, but we realize it is
the policy of the party to succeed all |
democratic officials with republicans. \
HARDING LEADS IN ECONOMY
SENATOR REED SMOOT, one of
the outstanding authorities of con
gress on financial and business affairs
of the government, said recently that
it was useless to expect an annual ap
propriation by congress of less than
$3,000,000,000.
In a statement issued before the
beginning of his trip to Alaska, the
President said a revised estimate in
dicates that the ordinary receipts for
1924 will amount in round figures tq,
$3,638,000,000 and that expenditures
including $500 000,000 for public debt
reduction, will total $3,668,000,00
This indicates a deficit of $30,000,000,
which the President declares must be
wiped out, and we must close the year
with a substantial balance to our
credit. It is the President’s desire
that the expenditures for the coming
year, excluding $500,000,000 for debt
reduction must be kept within three
billion dollars.
The administration, under the lead
ership of Mr. Harding, has made a
remarkable showing in dealing with
the nation’s fiscal affairs. The waste
of the previous administration and its
disregard of economy were appalling.
Much of the tremendous outpouring
of the people’s money should proba
bly be laid to the war, but even dis
counting that, the money was shovel
ed out as if we had an inexhaustible
source of i-evenue. For that reason,
and also because few other countries
of the -world have made any headway
in putting business into their govern
ments^ President Harding’s record is
one deserving of more than passing
comment.

DAVE CASCADEN, TOLOVANA
OPERATOR, DIES IN PORTLAND
Word was received here yesterday
that Dave Cascaden, a prominent old
timer of the Tolovana district had
passed away at Portland. June 17th,
about an hour after his wife, Mrs.
Blanche Cascaden, had reached his
bedside. Mrs. Cascaden, a resident of
Tolovana, walked 140 miles through
the breakup to reach the railroad, on
receipt of the news of her husband’s
illness. Mr. Cascaden came to Alaska
in 1S97 or ’98, and was a large prop
erty owner in the Tolovana, where he
had made several fortunes and lost
them. The remains were taken back
to Iowa for interment.
A. E. Rucker and Mrs. Rucker re
