LOCAL NEWS
A large party of Californians write
the Gateway that they are contem
plating a trip to Seward this year.
They will go over the railroad and
returning, spend a few days on Ke
nai lake.
Mrs. Wm. Lawing, at Mile 23, is
placing her roadhouse and ground in
good shape for tourist travel this
year, and no prettier place to spend
a week can be found anywhere. Mrs.
Lawing has one of the largest col
lections of trophies In Alaska, and
also has boats, fishing tackle, and
trips down the lake to offer visi
tors.
Up to noon today no nominations
for city offices had as yet been fil
ed although several are being held
over until the last hour. With the
exception of Mr. C. C. Hinde, who
has announced he is willing to run
for councilman, and Mr. Wayne Blue,
whose petition for school director lias
been circulated and signed, candi
dates appear to be very shy this
year.
Mrs. H. E. Ellsworth is still in the
hospital at Seattle, and is very weak.
She has not responded to her recent
operation as she should and friends
here are worried about her. Recent
information is to the effect that her
homecoming will be delayed until she
is able to travel, which may be some
weeks yet.
The unusually deep snowfall in the
hills is liable to make high water and
floods this spring according to re
ports. There has not been so great
a snowfall in this section for many
years.
Look over your stationery and see

' spring rush. Our presses will be
j very busy the next month, as we
{ have a number of large orders book
I ed, including several from the.Fair
