Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northfland, 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, |8 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.”

dog team in which was a young black
wolf, is off wolves for ever, accord

The supposedly tamed denizen of the

and after he had bit his master and
dragged him around for a consider
able spell, Mike turned the animal
loose. He says the animal was too
much for him, though he has driven
dog teams for twenty years.

Department Keeps Alert
Eye Clergy Situation
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 27. (JP)
—Assurances were given a group of
Philadelphia Catholic laymen today,
fhy Secretaary of State Kellogg, that
his department was watching close
ly Mexico’s treatment of the Catho
lic clergy.
The State department was called
upon to keep an alert eye on the
■clergy situation when it became
known that a number of Priests, citi
zens of the United States, engaged in
Church work in Mexico, were in im
minent danger of expulsion. The
clash betwen the Church and State
came with the decision that the Mex
ican constitution be strictly enforced.
It provides that all clergy ia active
work in Mexico must be native born.

WRITER FROM EUROPE
IS TOURING ALASKA
PEOPE OF THE UNITED STATES
WORK TOO MUCH IS IMPRES
SION OF VISITOR
Henry Sobotka, a writer from Czech
oslomack, who has been in Seward for
the past week, departed yesterday on
a trip into the Kenai peninsula coun
try where he will spend the next week
or so gathering material for a book
he is compiling.
Mr. Sobotka has been touring the
United States for the last year for the
purpose of writing a series of articles
which will appear before his country
men, pointing out the salient points of
his observation during his tour. Con
ditions from every point will be writ
ten as he sees it. The scenery of
America will also come in for much
study.
Mr. Sobotka seems infatuated with
Alaska and stated to The Gateway
Sunday that he planned spending the
entire summer in the Territory. When
asked by The Gateway reporter what
was the outstanding feature which
has impressed him during his travels
in the U. S.f Mr. Sobotka, who speaks
English quite well, said “Work!
Work! Everywhere I go you people
of America seem to have no time for
anything but work. It is not right
one should work so much. One is
born, lives, then dies and I discover
ed long ago, you miss nothing by not
working so hard.”
En route to Seward he stopped at
Juneau and there met Governor Parks
who impressed Mr. Sobotka very
much with the cordiality of his recep
tion.
