WHEN IS A BLUE SKY LAW?
Among the 16,921 laws enacted in the United States
in 1929 are included acts seeking to protect the public
against stock gambling—when the gamble is staged
by an individual or small group. Actuated evidently by
the old biblical interrogation: “Am I my brother's
keeper?" they have sought to save him from exploita
tion.
But what answer have we to the Wall Street gam
ble, which the press of the United States and high of
ficials are trying to laugh off as nothing affecting the
rank and file?
According to reports received this week from the
market centres of the east practically all big fur man
ufacturers, have cancelled buying orders because the
market for costly furs was smashed through losses
in Wall Street. This has resulted in practically no mar
ket for furs. It has resulted in throwing out of employ
ment hundreds of thousands dependent upon the cap
ture, dressing, tanning, manufacturing and sale of furs.
In turn it strikes a blow to every little fellow in bus
iness. It becomes a serious economic question in that it
causes suffering among those who must rely upon a
wage or small business for their daily sustenance.
Alaska got hers between the eyes. It is a sort of
whip-sawing the turn backwards. Not only will the
trapper and fur buyer be compelled to sell in a depress*
ed market, but those who stand as apologists for the
Wall Street swindle also stand between the trapper and
a chance to earn his grub bill.
An Alaska Indian girl winner of a beauty contest
was called “Pretty Bear." Some Atlantic City ones were
that way, too.

Battle, Supremacy,
Between Women Cage
Teams This evening
One championship series will ter
minate tonight and the supremacy
of the women basketball teams in
Seward decided wheen at 8.30 the
high school girls engage in their
third and final tilt of the season.
Each team has won one game,
and both are confident of captur
ing the coveted honors in this
evening’s title encounter.
According to the “dopestei >” the
aggregations are about evenly
matched. The younger set march
ed right off with the opening game,
in the same manner that charac
terized their three straight trium
phs over their ancient enemy, An
chorage high, in the first half of
that series, but with the loss of
two thirds of their “stonewall
guard” when the Willis sisters
moved from Seward opposing
teams have been having vital suc
cess penetrating the Blue and
White defense, the S. A. C. women
coming in for their share of the
spoils.
It will undoubtedly be the last
game of the season in which the
school girls will be, seen—outside of
perhaps, a practice scrimmage or
two that may give the S. A. C. wo
men in the latter’s preparation
for the meetings with the Anchor
age Ciyt women next week.

Mines activities in the Territory

route to his Juneau offices follow

RECEPTION COMMITTEE
) Commander Campbell of the
Seward Post, American Legion, to
gether with other officers of the
local post, are making arrange
ments to receive Ole Eielson. fath
er of Comrade Carl Ben Eielson
w'hen the steamer Northwestern ar
rives from the South.
Tonight the Seward Firemen take
on the College basketball team whc
lost last night to the local high
school team, 17 to 16. The college
have a mighty clever and fast team
but so have the Firemen, so lots ol
fireworks can be looked for. Don’t
miss this game.
CLOSED TOMORROW
The Bank of Seward, the post
office and other offices within the
co-operated limits of the City of
Seward, will close tomorrow in ob
servance of Lincoln’s Birthday.
Providing the electric energy situa
tion is such that difficulty will be
experienced in publishing a paper,
The Gateway will also declare a
holiday. However, if the power is
I sufficient to turn over the battery
of linotypes and thundering press
es, a paper will be printed.
The Seward Midgets defeated the
Jesse Lee’s last evening, in the pre
liminary to the main event, by the
score of 12 to 8. It was nip and
• tuck all the way with “Bud” John
son doing a lot of the tucking in for
his team-mates.
-- . --_-—
Owing to the water sysytem in
the school house freezing during
the night, it was necessary to let
the furnace go out; therefore, no
heat, no school for the day.
IF YOU HAVEN'T TRIED FRYI
BRUHN’S BABY BEEF, you are
certainly missing something.
