GATEWAY HOLDS U. S. RECORD
The smallest town daily in the United States is
published at Seward, Alaska.
Three years ago the Chicago Tribune made known
this honor which bespeaks well for the business folk
and residents of not only Seward but throughout the
entire Territory for advertisements and subscriptions
come from all parts of Alaska as well as continental
United States.
The Inland Printer, in it’s August issue, has this
to say about the Corry (Pa.) Journal which, it ap
pears, is laboring under the impression this honor is
held by that paper in view of the fact Corry has a pop
ulation of 900. Seward’s population is 826. The next
town which claims this distinction is Stuart, Fla., with
a population of 1,956. The towns then jump up to the
5,000 mark.
Twenty-five per cent of the population is said to be
a fair average of what the home town’s circulation
should be. The Gateway’s combined circulation is 1,050;
we are confident this circulation exceeds any paper in
Alaska north of Juneau.
And in the smallest town!
These papers mentioned above do not mention
the size of their paper, circulation or any details. Won
tier if they can beat The Gateway?
An eight-page Daily; also, a 16-page Weekly. A
home-made editorial each day. A staff of three, _ ex
clusive of the “office-cat” the ‘‘devil” and two mailing
lads, who perform all the duties from the . front office,
linotyping, makeup, press, and including job work.
We are not boasting! We are just proud, that’s all.
There’s a mark for the boys to shoot at!
Besides, it pays to advertise..
HELP! MURDER! POLICE! ARSON!
E di tori ally, the Anchorage Times says their har
bor is so large that it was not able to see a visiting gov
ernment vessel sufficiently well to know that it was the
Coast and Geodetic Survey vessel Discoverer and not
the Coast Guard cutter Chelan.
We can beat that line, over here in Seward.
Resurrection Bay is also large enough that the
names of vessels can not be seen when they first ap
pear rounding Harding Entrance, seven miles down the
bay, but since the vessels do not have to fear low tide
and the danger of running into mud, they can steam
right up to the dock and are quite easily read there.
The action of “snoopers” breaking into a private
residence, even though they had a warrant, sounds
like a page from darkest Russia when the Cheka over
ran the land. That such a thing could occur in the land
of the free and home of the crave, doesn’t fit well. Evi
dently a home is no longer one’s castle. The house re
ferred too, like the other places raided that day ,was
as dry as the Sahara.
There is a parable to the effect that it is darkest
before the dawn. Perhaps the present time, with all its
doubt about the railroad situation and the future de
velopment of Alaska, is but that murky darkness that
preceeds the dawn of prosperity for the Territory.
That awful rumbling roar last nite must have been
an echo from the American Legion Convention now in
session at Anchorage.
We generally lose our pants at elections but, for
tunately, the politicians advertisements, will buy us
another pair.
Yesterday’s grade crossing accident near Sew
n*d should serve as a lesson to stop, look and listen.
SEMI ICE 1C
AND TENNIS COURTS
IN NEAR FUTURE
Not “next summer on the ice”
! but this very winter, Seward
; will bo,ast an ice skating rink
1 which will be turned into con
! crete tennis courts in the spring,
j if a plan discussed yesterday by
the Chamber of Commerce de~
! velopes as outlined by several
; members confident that such a
■ project can be created.
W. C. Erwin, chairman of hte
; Civic Improvements Committee
i of the Chamber, was requested
by President Urbach who
; broached the subject to turn in
i a report on the advisability of
| making a survey of ground ad
| jacent to the William H. Sew
I ard School for the purpose, and
I to ascertain whether the site
j could be acquired. Mr. Erwin’s
committee, consisting of Messrs.
I Lechner, Roberts and Reisner,
will also study costs and con
| sturction requirements.
The plan advanced by Mr. Ur
bach included the laying of a
j concrete base large enough for
j several tennis courts, around
| which would be constructed a
low concrete rim. The whole to
! be flooded during the winter to
'afford ice skating. Chamber mem
i bers were responsive, and dis
i cussed the details at some length.
HERD OF FIFTY WHALES
A herd of whales, about 50 in
: number, were viewed with great
: interest by four local citizens a
| few days ago, off Fox Island,
j Especially absorbing was the
i remarkable team-work of the
’ spouting school for, in unison,
two, three or four whales whales
5 would cavort, dive, spout, etc.
