NO PAPER TOMORROW.
Tomorrow being a National Hol
iday, the Gateway, in line with
other papers of the Territory, will
join in the observance of Memo
rial Day. There will be a paper
issued Monday, June 1.
Every citizen of Seward should ob
serve Memorial Day tomorrow. The
American Legion will have charge of
the services, at the cemetery and will
blow taps over the graves of their
departed comrades.
Telegraphic dispatches received to
day from George Cotter, a former res
ident of Seward but of late years edi
tor of the Alaska Weekly in Seattle,
show that the reported strike in
the Cassier district is not up to ex
pectations and local stampeders will
undoubtedly be disappointed. Nowa
days the old timer is not so quick to
rush off to new strikes, and when he
does he wants something for his
money.
Many new residents are dropping
into Seward and the housing ques
tion will soon confront the realtor.
Seward could have a much larger pop
ulation if it had a dozen or so new
houses for the newcomers to move
into.
The Nuka Bay district is attracting
considerable attention from local
prospectors and a number of outfits
have gone into that district this year.
While some rich strikes have been
made there indications are that the
ground is fully covered and locators
will have to hunt new deposits of ore
before filing.
Seward should get busy and secure
part of that Territory appropriation
for a landing field for airplanes. One
seven passenger sedan plane will be
flown from here Monday and others
are on the way, which necessary will
be flown from here to their destina
tion to save freight.

the Post Intelligencer from George
Cotter, its correspondent at Tele

prospectors in the Cassiar are suffer

the 200-mile trip from here to relieve
the situation. The Hudson Bay Co.

trailers to Dease Lake, and the Dick
inson Mining Company’s tractor with
trailers and a crew of twelve men is
leaving Friday.
“No work has been done on Goklpan
creek and nobody has as yet seen
bedrock. There is much snow in the

ment truck and one or two men for
this purpose. They will repair ditch
es and culverts. Mr. Criger has been
unable thus far to get a government
steel drag to use on the road.

to interfere with the market con
trol long resting in other hands.
A movement has been started to
