CONGRATULATIONS. DOCTOR!
The Gateway, with the host of other friends of Dr.
J* H- Romig, former local resident but more recently of
hanks, extends congratulations to the learned sur
geon, physician and “Sourdough,” upon his appointment
as Chief Surgeon for The Alaska Railroad and in charge
of the government hospital at Anchorage.
There is considerable more we could add but Dr.
Romig will know, when he reads these few lines, that
they are most sincere.
COME AGAIN AND OFTEN
Seward residents had the opportunity the other
evening to see members of the Coast Guard Cutter Che
lan at play—basketball—and enjoyed with them their
brief respite from sea duty. An instant liking, mutual, we
hope, was formed for the eleancut, alert appealing men
comprising the crew and their officers. Seward enjoyed
their visit here immensely and trust we may have them,
as well as crews of other cutters, many times more.
In years gone by Seward has had little opportunity to
become acquainted with this branch of our government.
Our visit the past few days was greatly appreciated and
we like 'em.
SHOVE SEASON AHEAD 15 DAYS
In the opinion ol many trappers the slight variance
of time between the opening of the fox season and that
of the mink, should be consolidated. It is almost impos
sible tor trappers to abide by this regulation owing to
the fact mink will get into a fox trap regardless. Stick
ing a sign up warning mink to wait until December 15
might help but, seriously, the fox and mink season, it is
said, should open together, either on the first or the fif
teenth oi December. The mink are ready for trapping on
the first, the same as fox, so why not take them then
and give the boys on the lines an opportunity to deal
fairly with a perplexing problem not of their making.
A BUNCH OF “NUTS’’
Henry Ford may be one of the “aces” in the auto
game but we don't think he is so “hot” as a “peace mis
sionary” or as the final word in the dry law^ hearings
under way at Washington. He refers twice to the “sane
people of the nation as not desiring repeal or dangerous
modification.” We know of a few millions of Americans
who do want some sort of a change from the present
“nutty” system so we can assume there are just that
many more, besides our poor self, who should be in the j
“nut factory.”
Americanism: Senate millionaires investigating fel
low-citizens who are trying to get that way.

A very thrilling story of the exciting times just before and
during the outbreak of the
RUSSIAN REVOLUTION
It is a play full of action and tense situations, highly drama
tic. Entertainment for everybody. Among the characters por
trayed is the famous
BLACK MONK RASPUTIN
who controlled the Empire by his influence over the Czarina.
I his is a semi-histcrical play, based upon facts. It gives a.1
wonderful picture of Russia at that time.
