Alert solicitors of classified adver

ness along the line of the following,
which appeared in the Times, Fair
mont, W. Va.: “You are hereby noti
fied not to take our daughter, Vallie
Harper in your car. Anyone not heed
ing this notice will be dealt with to
the full limit of the law. Mr. and
Mrs. Wm. Harper. Horton, Bay 16.”
The Knoxville Sentinel describes
the modern young woman as alert,
fearless, self supporting and deter
mined to take orders from no one
except in the line of employment.”
And it might be added that there are
few women that will listen to orders
and execute them properly, even in
the line of employment.
Big town writers like to poke fun
at the country papers, but here is an
item that is a gem from the columns
of the New York World: “One night
Davy took a wildcat to bed with him.
Quite unintentionally >he smothered
it to death. Even then the little ani
mal did not scratch his master.” Now,
how could it scratch if it was dead.

Suing John Frame for criminal libel

When politicians have to resort to

The Weekly Gateway is going over
big, some 100 subscribers having
been added within the past two weeks.
As an advertising medium it is with
out a peer in the Territory as it cov
ers the great western field almost ex
clusively.
One reason that one of our largest
local firms has succeeded in business
is that it has been a most consistent
and prodigal advertiser. Without ad
vertising it would have not become
the largest.
Advertising in the Weekly Gateway
is $2 per inch per month, or 50 cents
an inch per issue for less than three
times. Advertising in the Daily Gate
way will remain as always, §3.50 per
single column inch per month, or 50
cents per inch for a single issue.
If man could only be emancipated
from superstition, bigotry and fear
which has been his heritage from the
past, the world would be a much bet
ter place to live in. The past century
i has been a most wonderful one from
a scientific standpoint but the next
century will be more -wonderful, as
science will be applied more and
more to our every day labor and our
hands can rest and our mind -work.
Despite the pessimism of present day
! reformers the world has grown vastly
better in the past one hundred years
and living conditions have increased
with morality.

Special Round Trip Fare
To Anchorage This Week
A special fare of one and one-third
far will be charged by the Alaska
Railroad, for the round trip to An
chorage from Seward, beginning on
Thursday, Feb. 11, and ending Satur
day, Feb. 13. The special rate is be
ing made for the Seward men’s bas
ketball team -which will play a three
game series with the Anchorage
champs, on the days mentioned above.
The rate, however, is null and void,
unless ten tickets are sold, it is. an
nounced. It is pointed out that even
if the Seward officials purchased ten
tickets for their team they should
still be saving money. Indications
are that from five to ten rooters will
accompany the local team over.

Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northfiand, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm faith
in the Territory's possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains,
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and. that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
