GRATEFUL BUT HEART BREAKING
Perhaps there are some mothers and widows of de
ceased soldiers, sailors and marines of the United States
now interred in fields “where the poppies bloom” in
France, who do not know that they are privileged to
visit those hallowed grounds at the expense of the Unit
ed States.
These pilgrimages may be made from May 1 of
the present month to October 31, 1933, at such times as
may be designated by the Secretary of War under the
Act of Cotigress. They are open to the mothers and wid
ows of the members of the military or naval forces of
rhe United States who died in the military or naval ser
vice of this country at any time between April 5, 1917,
and July 1, 1921.
The expense for a two-weeks’ journey are provided
by the United States government. Although it does not
specify in the Act it is presumed that it would include
any part of a participant's jouinev from anywhere in
Alaska to her return. If desirous of making the journey
communicate at once with the clerk of the Third Division
Court at Vairlez or address directly the Secretary of
War at Washington, D. C. Under the terms of the Act,
if you are a mother, stepmother, mother through adop
tion, or any woman who stood in loca parentis to the de
ceased member of the military or naval forces for the
year prior to the commencement to his sendees in such
forces, yon are eligible. Re-married widows are not in
cluded.
This is again brought to the attention of the wom
en of Alaska by the Gateway for fear some of them who
might take the voyage to the grave of their loved one,
may not have heard or have read of our previous an
nouncement.
It is a good thing the Semidi Propagating Company
brought those blue fox from the Pribilof Islands nearly
half a century ago and scattered them over the islands
of Westward Alaska. The proposition fell thru at the
time, because of mismanagement, it is alleged, but the
fruits of that venture are with us today. Some of the
finest blue fox pelts in the world are now coming from i
Westward Alaska.
It is gratifying to know that the road builders are
opening up things in the Iliamna country because they
are going into such a rich region of copper, gold, timber
and fur, as well as helping the people of Bristol Bay.
At the same time we congratulate the Road Commission
on the projected trail at Kodiak, hoping that it will
some day become a road and thus make it easier for the
homesteader and stoekraiser.
We can’t figure out yet what it is all about, but it
does not seem right that the people out Westward should
be paying $30 a ton for Nanaimo coal when good Alas
ka coal can be had right on the Seward dock for $8 per j
ton. From Seward to Kodiak, for instance, is only 200
miles. What’s the matter! What’s the matter!
The steamship companies are doing their best and I
an ever-increasing throng of visitors is coming to Alas
ka. Now is your chance to show how proud you are of
the land of your adoption. Be hospitable, be truthful. Of
fer the traveler a drink or a good cigar and wish that
he wall come again.
Down in Southern California they call them sar
dines and they put them up in oval cans to the tune of
seven million dollars a year. These are really small herr- j
ing and some of the best food the sea produces. Up here i
we grind them up for fertilizer. When will this foolish ;
waste stop?
YOUNG LOCH mnES,
To procure a trophy to be com
peted for in Field meets by the
Seward and Jesse Lee Schools,
members of the Seward Chamber
of Commerce at the weekly busi
ness meeting of the organization
yesterday, made personal contribu
tions to the amount of $15.
The action followed the outlining
of next Friday’s meet by M. B.
Roane.v, superintendent of the Sew
ard schools, who made * he modest
request for a moderately priced
award to be presented to the most
competent school. Prof. Roaney’s
appeal was quickly followed by fav
orable remarks from Dr. A. R. Rob
erts and J. H. Flickinger; the latter
suggesting the personal donations.
Cal M. Brosius started the silver
discs rolling towards the secretary
and within a moment each of the
15 luncheoners present had sub
scribed a dollar.
Chairman Urbach asked Mr.
Flickinger to receive any further
donations that might be made by
othrs in the city.
Roy Jones, one of the first
flyers to make a flight in Alaska,
is at present at Anchorage and,
according to word received here,
contemplates forming a company
and enter into business in the 1st
Division.
While Colonel Ohlson, general
manager of the Alaska Railroad
was in the city for a few hours
the other evening, he took occas
ion to inspect progress on the
new Seward General Hospital and
following same expressed him
self as greatly pleased.
Yesterday evening friends of Miss
Geraldine Laughlin were entertain
ed at an informal dinner party
at her home in honor of her 18'h
birthday. Geraldine is one of the
seniors graduating with the local
high school class this year.
