A Glorious Fourth for
The Gateway
This Fourth of July is one of the best The Gateway
has yet enjoyed, owing to the liberality of those who made
this edition possible. We venture to say that few papers
in Alaska can show a greater improvement during the
past year, than The Daily Gateway. Our Associated
Press service covers the entire world and our subscrip
tion list is keeping close touch with the press service. The
Gateway is the best advertising medium for Southwest
ern Alaska—in fact it is the only advertising medium for
the great district west of here.
Seward is to be congratulated upon the success of its
home paper, and the patronage received shows that our
people appreciate a good paper.
We Thank You
By the way, our list of legal blanks has been added
to greatly, and as these blanks are drawn up by Alaskan
attorneys for Alaska, they are peculiarly valuable to our
many patrons.
