CLAM DIGGERS
MISSING FROM
ISLAND CAMP
Two veteran clam diggers of Cor
dova are ibelieved to have lost then
lives on January 15, ‘when they set
out from Mummy Island in a row
boat bound for Strawlberry Point.
The men are Joe Seymore and
Andrew Morrison, both about 45
years old. They had ibeen working
for the Central Packing Company and
had lived at the firm’s clam camp
on Mummy Island.
Otto Elfstrom and Joe White,
| owners of the concern, have had a
; search party out all week looking
{for the pair. A lantern found on the
i beach at Strawberry Point is thought
! to have been one used by the missing
men. One theory is that Seymore and
! Morrison went on the ibeach during
| the night with the lantern and while
j they worked the boat broke away and
drifted off, forcing the pair to at
tempt to swim to safety when the
tide came in.

NEWS ITEMS FROM
SEWARD WIRED
FEW PEOPLE REALIZE IMPORT
ANCE MASS PUBLICITY
SENT OUT QUIETLY
To give Seward residents an idea
of the Territorial and National publi
city Seward, the Westward district
and this district is receiving from a
source unknown to the majority of
them, The Gateway announces that
hardly a day goes by but what from
one to any number of Associated
Press dispatches are flashed to Seat,
tie, where in turn, the brief news
items are carefully rewritten, then
flashed back to the other papers in
Alaska, and to portions of the Unit
ed States where the items may be
of interest.
The Associated Press (JP) is the
largest and most authentic news ser
vice in the world and serves more
than thirty thousands newspapers. It
can be easily seen, therefore, from
such a nationwide publicity serv
ice, the happenings of this district
of the Territory are read by thous
ands of people.
The reason this matter is called
to the attention of The Gateway read
ers is on account of the exchanges
from other Alaskan papers which ar-j
rived at this office on the Watson. I
In one issue of one of the exchange
| papers there were several items all j
hearing the Seward, Alaska date line.
Segregated, the dispatches referred
to the following:
Steamer Starr brings first Bristol
Bay winter mail; the smoking Shis
haldin volcano; the four thousand
caribou on Unimak island; Arctic
party arrives and departs; the ar
rest of E. N. Webb at Kodiak and
Paddy Shea; for plentiful on island
to the westward; big shipment of furs
sent to Seattle fur market from Sa
ther ranch and westward islands;
farthest north golf course at Curry;
Knights Island tie camp to reopen
in a few weeks; trappers, prospectors
and farmers listen in to Anchorage
broadcasting station.
These are things, not only local
people are interested in, but citizens
residing in other portions of Alaska
and in the States. Since the above
telegrams were sent to Seattle numer
ous others have been forwarded
from The Gateway office.
