Ye Editor,
The Gateway, Seward, Alaska.
While casually perusing the col
umns of our literary blossom, i. e.,
•‘The Gateway”, the other day. the
roving eyes of the writer paused at
one of the little editorial gems, that
the editor drops from his pen fre
quently. when the spirit so moves
him.
The gem in question was one ex
pounding the climatic beauties and
wonders of the coastal country,
particularly that part centering
around the Resurrection city, com
paring its sterling qualities with
flie undisputed and world reknown
state of California, home of the na
tive sons.
While the writer is not a native
son of that fair state, nevertheless
it behooves him to take up the
cudgels in the behalf of our vast
Interior or Inside as it is known to
Alaskans.
As the editor wields his brilliant
journalistic pen, he loses sight of
the fact our great inside country,
particularly along the Yukon, has
much more sunshine than the
coast.
And while the Sourdough goes
about his daily busines up in the
Far Frontier, under the pale blue
skies of the midnight sun, whose
golden lingering rays shine down
upon the cabins and homes of the
rainbow chasers. It is a very fa
miliar picture from past experience
to see the sea dwellers walking
about in rubber boots and oil skins,
like so many seals. And while the
dwellers of the deep have no fins,
occasionally one may be seen with
web feet, something totally un
known inside.

Thus, while they, the web feet,
I splash around all winter in rain,
j fog and wet snow, their Arctic
jbrothers, in the far north, of which
j the writer is one, “mush” around
icomfortably all winter, dressed in
iparky and muckiuck;, in the clear
I fresh dry winter at mosphere or
balmy days when it is only 40 be
low.
It is then that one may see the
jice worms, the snow snakes and
[the frost bugs, a sight never seen
by human eyes on the coast.
And while the Sewardites were
struggling thru the wet gloomy
nights the writer was enjoying the
glories of the Arctic lights beneath
a canopy studded with countless
sparkling gems.
As further proof of the wonder
ful inside climate both winter and
summer, I might mention the fact
that last January upon my depart
ure for the Yukon, my raincoat,
which was green with moss, was
stowred away in the war bag, and
only a few days ago, after arriving
on the salt waters, did I remove it
from the war bag, with a heavy
heart.
As Alaska is a big country and
the home of big things it is hoped
that the editor in his future jour
nalistic battles will be big enough
and not forget the Vast Frontier
lying close up to the Circle, for all
is a part uf the whole.
While not wishing to subtract for
the editor’s eloquent and literary
brilliancy, it is hoped these few
lines may cause the eyes of the
editor to wander over the peaks of
the coast range and vision the
Great Empire Beyond.
The writer trusts the gentleman
of the press will broaden his artis
tic vision when he pens his next
literary “gem” and be on his guard
as the writer may yet drop another
bomb on the journalistic battle
field.
Gentlemen of the Press,
I have spoken
“THE CIRCLE CITY KID”.
Editor’s Note:—Our friend is not
a regular reader of The Gateway
otherwise he would have known
of the innumerable times The
Gateway has extolled the vir
tues and beauties of the Interior
country; a country which he also
has traveled, in winter and sum
mer—well off the beaten trails—
and therefore has seen the many
incomparable wonders of the
scenics and bountiful crops.
