A LARGER WEEKLY PAPER
Within a period of six months the circulation of The
Seward Gateway has doubled and is continuing to in
crease steadily. The reason for this increase is attributed
to but one thing, that of service. It has constantly been
the aim of the publishers to render the best service at
their command. Service, in the newspaper sense, means
news of interest to the greater portion of its readers.
The Seward Weekly Gateway, in the past, has been made
up of eight pages crammed full of newsbits from every
part of the Territory as well as the leading events of the
day throughout the world.
Proud of the wonderful growth of the Weekly, the
point has now been reached where, due to generosity of
the subscribers, the publishers take pride in announcing
that beginning with the first September issue, the size of
the paper will be increased to twelve pages. And in the
new Weekly will be found, with few exceptions, all the
advertisers now in the columns of the Daily.
But that is not all! The new Weekly will be published
Saturday night and will be delivered by carriers, locally,
Sunday morning. In it will be found the latest topics
about the Territory and a late file of Associated Press
news from the States.
The new Weekly will have the distinction of being not
only the largest Weekly published in the Territory but al
so the only Sunday morning Alaskan paper. So now with
the daily, Seward can boast of having a newspaper deliv
ered every day in the week. Watch for the Sunday morn
ing paper. A sample copy will be distributed to every
daily subscriber.
SAFE AND SANE ALASKA
Devastating floods and ruinous rains are reported
from all over the world in today’s press dispatches. Tor
nadoes, hurricanes, earth quakes, floods, murders, hold
ups and traffic accidents; these are but a few of the
thousands of dangers confronting the average citizen
in the Outside.
In the face of these reports an aurora of peace and
good will is reflected in Alaska, which, aside from a little
rain, and a little snow, is not a half-bad country to be liv
ing in.
APPLE BLOSSOM TIME IN ALASKA
i
Apple orchards in Alaska rivaling the famous lus-1
c-ious fruit grown in the Yakima and Wenatchee valleys
of Washington, may sound to many, as a slight elabora
tion and deviation from the truth but, not so. As silent tes-1
timony to the adaptibility of the soil and climate of this
region of the Territory for duplicating, and excelling in
many instances, agricultural products grown in the!
states, witness the splendid looking box of apples sent to
H. V. Hoben yesterday from the farm of E. E. Carson of1
Hope.
This is the fourth crop of apples Mr. Carson has har
vested and each year a wonderful improvement is noted.
The apples, apparently are of the yellow transparent var
iety; they are of good size, are firm, and their fragrance
is very exquisite.
Whether or not Mr. Carson has disposed of his crop
is a question which The Gateway cannot answer at this
time, suffice to say however, that he, as well as every other
farmer in Alaska need every encouragement possible, for
the development of farming and ability to till the soil suc
cessfully; for in the agriculture pursuits lie the true back
bone to national prosperity and wealth.
As in former years Mr. Carson has sent to the An
chorage and Fairbanks Fairs, an exhibit of apples. That
they will attract much attention from passing visitors in
the Territory, goes without saying, but it will also serve
the purpose of making Alaskans themselves think and
realize that perhaps here is yet another-profitable field
that has been overlooked for years.
Apple blossom time in Alaska. A beautiful and truth
ful phrase.

GER JOHNSON
W. A. Johnson, manager of the As
sociated Oil Co., at Kanatak for the
past two years passed through Seward
Monday on his way to California. Mr.
Johnson told the Gateway representa
tive that all the companies supplies at
Kanatak have been sold to local mer
chants although their machinery is
still on the ground. He would not say
whether or not the project had been
definitely abandoned but the disposal
of all supplies at Kanatak would seem
to indicate so.
Mr. Johnson does not know where
he will be sent next, but it will either
be to Utah or Soouth America, where
the company is engaged in drilling at
the present time.

Marriage Cry ?
Wives!
Do you agree? Freedom for wives; see your husband
only four days a week; do as you please; go out when
you please; with whom you please; where you please; no
breakfasts to worry about; follow a career If you please?
Husband/
What do you think? Is it right; should a wife have
as much liberty as a man; should she place entertain
ment above home worry; should she go out with other
men; would you agree to that?
