HIGH STANDARD SCHOOL PAPER
The Gateway takes pride in the standard attained
by a “brother’’ publication in the journalistic world—
Seward’s Folly, the local monthly school paper.
A well known copy-reader on a San Francisco news
paper staff has made comment on two issues of the |
Folly, and, with but two or three 4 exceptions, his re
marks were complimentary indeed.
It is a fact the students can be proud of—that they
are publishing a paper which meets with such favorable
comment from more experienced persons on big met
ropolitan papers.

Not that it is any of our business but an estimate
of the cost todate in the search for Eielson and Bor
land must be nearing the $200,000 mark. Money means
nothing to the parent company of the Alaska concern
in effecting rescue of their employees. This figure is
estimated as the expenditure from private sources; just
to what extent Uncle Sam is contributing is not known.
Then there is the Soviet cost to be added.
The prohi chiefs statement yesterday will bring
much comfort to many for Doran admitted most of
the illegal corn sugar alcohol was as good as that man
ufactured by licensed distilleries.
It must be fierce to live in the States where the
winters are so cold and stormy. Again we implore the
unfortunates to come to Alaska and live in peace and
comfort.
Skirmishing may be starting for the primary bat
tle next spring so therefor it is opportune to warn the
boys to gather huge ammunition dumps; and some will
explode with a tremendous roar, no doubt.
Talking about chill winds that was an awful blast
at Washington yesterday when the Alaska delegate
stated before—well, never mind. We were going to
elucidate a bit but whafs the use.
Because some men drink to excess the Prohi’s would
bar all from indulging in liquor which has been a part
of our daily life from the dawn of the world._

“HOW CAN PEOPLE RESPECT A
CONSTITUTION THAT MAKES
TEMPERANCE A CRIME”
WASHINGTON, Jan., 10, (/P)—
The assertion that prohibition
“ushered in the age of corruption
in temperance, disrespect for law
and contempt of the government
such as this nation has never be
fore witnessed”, was made by Rep
resentative Schafer, republican of
Wisconsin.
In making the charge he said,
“The constitution was changed
from charter rights liberties into a
criminal statu ebook.” The Wis
consin representative asked, “How
can people respect a constitution
that makes an act of temperance a
crime”?

Fire from an undetermined
cause practically wiped out an
old land mark of the city when
flames consumed the Sewajrd
sawmill early last evening be
ginning about 6:30 o'clock.
Owing to the location of the
mill, adjacent to the railroad
tracks and in the center of the
mill slough, the local fire de
partment was helpless insofar as
lending any affort to quench the
fire. Whipped by the gale from
the south, the conflagration lit
up the low hanging clouds cast
ing a bright hued reflection over
the city. The blaze continued
for hours and is still smouldering.
The plant was operated at
intervals and had been shut
down for a considerable period
which makes the cause of the
fire one of conjecture. One theory
expressed was that a spark from
a passing locomotive, one had
gone by about 10 minutes prior,
might have started it but others
claim this could not have been.
J. L. Graef, local business man,
was the owner. It could not be
ascertained if insurance was
carried but it is thv ugnt s~
