COLLEGE OFFERS
SHORT COURSE
TO PROSPECTORS
TEN WEEKS COURSE OF GREAT
BENEFIT TO PROSPECTORS
ESPECIALLY
This is the time of the year when
the prospector begins to think about
the hills over which he wants to
travel next summer. Why not take
a new pair of eyes along? Ten
weeks in the Mining Short Course at
the Alaska College will give you new
vision in the hills and increase your
efficiency as a prospector. This work
opens February 'first and continues
> for ten weeks. If you cannot remain
for the complete course you are wel
come to come and take what work
you have time for.
Four men have registered this week
and a large attendance is expected.
A country as large as Alaska must
contain many uncommon yet valuable
minerals. If the prospectors are on
the watch for these and know how
to test and what to test for, we can
then expect many new and unex
pected discoveries.
Board and room at the college dor
mitory is $55 per month. This is
cheaper than living at home.
I A short course covering the care
and operation of gas engines has
just begun at the College. The mi
ners can include 'this with their
other work and the next time the
Ford or the motor boat refuses to
work you will have some idea of lo
cating the trouble.

SEAWEED IS TABLE DELICACY
IN JAPAN—DECLARED GlREAT
TOKIO, Jan. 13. (JP)—Seaweed in
Japan is a dinner delicacy—for the
Japanese. In fact, the harvesting of
seaweed is one of Japan’s large in
| dus tries.
Of the many species of the weed,
gathered ifrom the bottom of the sea,
the Japanese Tangle (Laminaria Ja
ponica) is most popular because of
its flavor and refreshing taste. This
weed grows abundantly in the cold
seas off Hokkaido and is harvested
during the summer months. The
yearly harvest off Hokkaido alone is
estimated at 200,000,000 pounds.
While this seaweed is relatively
cheap, food chemists claim it is very
nutritious and contains much “Vita
mine A,” the food element lacking
in polished rice.
COMMUNITY BUDGETS FOR
CHARITY SHOW A GROWTH
KANSAS CITY, Jan. 13.
American cities which are giving in
creasing amounts to consolidated
charity budgets, the milk of human
kindness seems to prevail most abun
dantly in Minneapolis and Cincinna
ti, altlio there is a chance for diver
gece of opinion, as various standards
may be applied.
Minneapolis subscribed most per
capita in 1925 to philanthropic insti
tltions from all sources, including
public revenue, and Cincinnati led in
voluntary fiifts per capita to its com
munity chest. Cleveland, however,
had the largest chest pledge—$4,285,
908—and Philadelphia, with pledges
of $2,920,154, the next largest.
These figures were made available
here through the American Associa
tion for Community Organizations and
the Kansas City Council of Social
Agencies.

THE SEWARD WEEKLY GATEWAY WILL BE A NEW DEPARTURE in
the field of Alaska journalism, and will start off with a circulation of nearly 1000
conies It will contain the Associated Press News of the week, local news and ter
ritorial News, as well as news of the mining and fishing industries. The Seward
Weekly Gateway will hate nearly exclusive entry to the vast district west ot Sew
ard owing to geographic location, and will have a splendid staff of correspondents
in each camp. Subscribers taking the Saturday Gateway will be transferred to the
Weekly Gateway as it will be more in line with what they expect in a weekly paper.
We believe this new venture will prove susessful inasmuch as it will offer an adver
tising medium for outside advertisers to reach the westward public.
While The Seward Weekly Gateway will be published m Seward, for a time at
least, it will be distinctively an Alaskanpublication, by Alaskans for Alaskans. Ad
vertising rates will be 50 cents per inch per issue or $2.00 per month.
Only $3.00 the Year
