TARIFF RAISE UNCALLED FOR
Because Uncle Sam built a railroad in Alaska from
which he apparently seeks dividends instead of a de
velopment factor for the Territory's progress, it has
been decided by those in high authority to “sting"
the pioneers who dare to live in the country trying to
make it a homeland, and raise in the near future
freight and passenger rates. Alaskans are becoming
immune from the whip-lashes from Washington who
seem to find great pleasure in twisting the garrote
a little tighter.
This tariff raise will be paid for by the pioneer;
instead of helping pioneers over some of the rough
spots they want him to pay extra in cash, as well as
by the sweat of his brow, and blood.
“THE MIDNIGHT SUN"
It looks very much like The Gateway has a real
competitor over in Anchorage by one C. J. Lincke, for
mer member of The Gateway staff and one of the keen
est newspapermen in Alaska. A competitor from the
standpoint of frankness.
Friend Lincke has started publication of a small 8
page paper which he calls the “Midnight Sun.”
Volume I, Number 1, was recently received here
and a perusal of same reveals some very interesting
facts in connection with the recent Senatorial investiga
tion of the Alaska Railroad and economics connected
therewith. Special articles include ‘A Peep Behind the
Curtains of the R. R. Inquiry,” “Uncle Sam's Despised
Stepchild,” “Curry Hotel is Big Drain.” At the mast
head appears a likeness of a monkey scratching his
head and exclaiming “Say! Who started this thing/”
Editor Lincke promises to publish another edition
in the near future. The issue will be awaited with
considerable interest for here is one Alaskan editor
who not only generally has plenty to talk about but
knows his subject matter.
Now that the U. S. Postoffice has released figures!
showing that postmen carrying mail on foot walk
170,000 miles a day, no doubt stocks of firms making
iubber soles will raise the price on that commodity!
while on the other hand makers of re-enforced seats!
for trousers, will drop.
We are wondering if the citizens of Seward are
going to remain passive, with respect to gymnasium
quarters for the children this winter? There is .no|
valid reason why Seward should not enjoy athletics
this winter as in bygone years.
It would seem if a man can live for a quarter-cent-;
ury in such manner as to hold his place in the ranks of
good citizinrv the while, one could assume either that;
he has undergone a genuine repentance, or that he wasj
not guilty in the first place, this with reference to aj
convict who broke jail twice ,and for almost 40 years j
lived unidentified, in useful endeavor, dying a prosper
ous fanner.
The Prince of Wales is made an Air Marshal, a
Lieutenant General, a Vice-Admiral in one day. No
doubt his poor old father was relieved to hear that Ed
was to have steady work and probably w^ould get thru
the wdnter somehow.
“Gangster Dies Natural Death”—Headline. We
are still wondering whether it was “on the spot” or in!
bed.
Right acting begets right thinking.
The ‘Aleutian Native” and the
“Umnak Native” have carried West

people for the trapping season. The
